Great once a week when it actually works

This app is great when it works. But it rarely works. 4/5 days it doesn’t start. And it also drains my battery like nobody’s business.

Unreliable battery hog

The app needs to be open in the background at all times to play the alarm. It burns through 35+% of my phones battery on a given day, that’s when it doesn’t glitch out and drain it completely. The app also doesn’t reliably trigger the alarm in the morning.

Great concept if it worked.

App never seems to work.
