### 3/5 — Der Wecker der weckt

*2026-06-17*

Da der normale Wecker bei mir manchmal nichts mehr bringt, habe ich den Mathewecker getestet. Mir hilft die Rechenaufgabe sehr gut, dass ich nicht wieder wegschlafe

### 3/5 — Good alarm

*2025-04-11, version 7.0.1*

This alarm works well and wakes me up all the time but it just takes to much battery in the background so I don’t think it optimal for me to use it anymore since I found a good alarm in apple which I wasn’t able to take up to before

### 3/5 — 簡単すぎる

*2024-01-24, version 7.0.1*

10問くらい解いてもすぐ終わってしまうし、四則演算だけだと面白くないので積分や微分計数など高校数学の範囲から出してくれたら神アプリになると思います

### 3/5 — Great app but…

*2023-11-15, version 7.0.1*

I’ve been using this alarm for years. But recently it’s been crashing when the alarms go off and doesn’t work at all now. It won’t load at all.

### 4/5 — Ganz ok

*2022-01-19*

Schönes design und einfach zu bedienen, jedoch wenn man die App schließt, dann klingelt der Wecker nicht. Das ist mir leider zu unsicher, weil dann muss man jeden Tag daran denken, dass die App im Hintergrund geöffnet ist und sonst verschläft man, aber ansonsten gute App

### 4/5 — It doesn’t work sometimes

*2021-08-27, version 7.0.1*

Some days it works like a charm but some other days it doesn’t even ring the alarm!!!

### 4/5 — 4 out of 5

*2020-02-16, version 6.2.1*

This app is great you can make so many changes and cool things. There is one change I would make is to change the difficulty of the math problems.

### 2/5 — Long time user - experiencing new glitches

*2019-02-15, version 3.0.3*

I don’t normally take time to write reviews... but alas, here I am. I’ve used this app for years, and have loved it until recently. After changing times on my alarms I’ve noticed that the alarm will go off at the time I had it set before the change. Last night, I changed it from 6:30a to 7:30a, and it went off at 6:30 - with no math problems might I add. It just randomly went off. This has caused problems as the alarms are not going off at the updated times, and I wake up late wondering why this keeps happening. I finally figured it out last night. This needs to change ASAP as this is the only thing I’ve found that actually gets me up in the mornings.

### 2/5 — Getting worse and worse.

*2019-01-23, version 3.0.3*

Mathe alarm used to be the best alarm clock and now it's getting worse and worse, because they changed their user interface (harder to read fonts and colors, alarm on/off buttons smaller and harder to tap). What's even worse is how often ads are displayed and that they're showing video ads with sound when you least expect it.

Bad user experience, wish they would go back 1.5 years in their code.

### 2/5 — Uh, why do I need a title before submitting a review?

*2018-09-14, version 3.0.3*

Setting repeat alarms and having titles would be great. Otherwise, just plan on setting an alarm every night.

### 4/5 — Nice application

*2018-08-11, version 3.0.3*

Nice application but the tests are too easy.I suggest that you can add some tests ,which about GP AP index probability and log.

### 3/5 — It was great until

*2018-04-24, version 2.0.2*

I thought it was great until it randomly froze and deleted all of my alarms and froze my phone. I had a 7:15 alarm and woke up at 7:45. My phone said it was 7:15 but when I tried to answer the questions it wouldn’t respond. I deleted it and re-downloaded it because it’s the only app that actually wakes me up but I just wish it wouldn’t mess up.

### 1/5 — Just don’t

*2025-09-02, version 7.0.1*

Words can’t describe how much I hate this app.

### 1/5 — Kupa gówna

*2021-02-16, version 7.0.1*

Najgorsza aplikacja jaka może istnieć. Serio jak chcecie mieć spierdolony cały dzień,tydzień lub jak w moim przypadku rok i każdą chwile gdy tylko przypomnę sobie o tej aplikacji to dobrze trafiliście . Ja rozumiem budzik ale jak wieczorem chce się wyciszyć i włączyć budzik a to ścierwo zaczyna napierdalac mi do ucha jeszcze się wyciszyć nie da to mam ochotę roznieść cały blok. Sąsiedzi was znienawidzą jak ją pobierzecie wasze zwierzęta też. Jako budzik działa oczywiście wyśmienicie polecam.

### 1/5 — Lots of bugs

*2020-06-22*

Often doesn’t work in background mode.
The maths equations don’t even follow basic “BEDMAS” dont waste your time

### 1/5 — The most aweful App!

*2020-05-10*

The idea of this App is nice, BUT:

This App is HIDDEN in the Iphone Settings Menu. You can‘t find it. That means you can‘t control any information they collect about you.

You aren‘t able to adjust anything you can do normaly with other Apps.

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2020-04-07, version 6.2.1*

It never goes off because its always crashing so i’ve only experienced it once in the past 2 weeks...

### 1/5 — Já foi bom

*2019-03-12, version 3.0.3*

O app agora não permanece com a tela ligada após colocar o despertador!!! Toda noite tenho que desligar o bloqueio automático pra ele funcionar!!! Fora que já teve anúncio que bloqueou o despertador tbm!!! Já perdi o horário por causa dele um monte de vez!!!! Vou buscar outro que não apresente esses bugs!!!!

### 1/5 — Berbat

*2018-12-18, version 3.0.3*

Uygulamaya girmediginiz surece vakit gelse bile calmiyor uygulamaya tiklayinca alarm otmeye basliyor, anlamsiz

### 1/5 — Broken Update

*2018-06-26, version 3.0.3*

Yep the update has broken the entire alarm wake feature. Does alarm stops ringing after a couple of minutes.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-03-10, version 1.1*

Doesn't play any music on iPhone 5

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2020-02-22, version 6.2.1*

I had paid for it and used for years. Then had to reset phone. After hard reset would not allow me to use it as full program.

*2019-09-27, version 6.1.4*

Could

### 5/5 — Good news and bad

*2019-09-23, version 6.1.4*

The alarm itself is amazing. I have it set on the highest difficulty and have to do 9 puzzles to turn the alarm off. No more snooze! Due to the security of your phone, 1 out of 20 times this alarm will not ring, which can cause some real problems.

### 5/5 — Alarm Clock Plus

*2019-08-22, version 5.3.2*

This is an awesome app thanks

### 5/5 — Well thought out.

*2019-07-19, version 5.3.2*

Works well and the morning activities checklist is a great idea.

*2018-09-18, version 3.0.3*

This clock really helped me wakeup in the morning, and I liked how you could customize it with your own music!

### 5/5 — Hate the update

*2018-05-29, version 3.0.1*

It was perfect how it used to be, I never had a problem but now the alarms only go off if I have the app open. And I can’t do anything without a bunch of annoying ads popping up.

### 5/5 — ❤️❤️

*2018-03-07, version 2.0.2*

I liked 😩

### 5/5 — Rams

*2018-01-07, version 2.0.2*

An app that actually wakes me up.
