### 5/5 — Mr. Peper

*2013-07-15, version 2.4.2*

Fun way to keep track of time!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2013-06-19*

My husband has pancreatic cancer and I have to change his pain patches every other night. I would forget and be so upset because my phone doesn't offer every other day alarm. My daughter found this app for me and its perfect. Thank you so much.

### 5/5 — Great!!

*2013-01-31, version 2.4.2*

probably the best alarm app I've come across,  been using it everyday :)

### 4/5 — Love it

*2012-11-09*

Love making my own wake up calls. The sky's the limit on what u can create as a wake-up. I'm a really deep sleeper and it helps me go from dead to the world to consciousness. I've slept thru all other alarms except for when I've made my own audio wake ups (I even create them for whatever I'm doing that day to motivate me out of sleep).

### 5/5 — Good

*2012-09-22, version 2.4.2*

👍

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2012-09-17, version 2.4.1*

Very good! Record my own voice as the alarm!

### 4/5 — English please...

*2012-09-04*

I love the concept however I really wish the creators would provide a better guide in English. I still do not know if I understand how "multi-tasking" works.

### 4/5 — ㅎㅎ

*2012-06-04, version 2.4.0*

알람앱중에서는 괜찮은듯해요^^
다만 앱을 끄면 실행이 안되는 단점도 있지만 전 좋은거 같아요

### 5/5 — .

*2012-06-02, version 2.4.0*

좋은 앱이에요 무료에다가 오류도 거의 아예 없습니다

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2012-05-25, version 2.3.5*

Great way to wake up to my own music!

### 5/5 — 공휴일에 늦잠을 방해 받지 않아서 좋아요

*2012-05-11, version 2.3.5*

알람을 꺼 놓지 않으면 공휴일에 늦잠 자다가 깨어 버리고, 미리 알람을 꺼 놓으면 출근하는 날에 울지 않아서 낭패 보는 일이 있는데, 공휴일 알람 덕에 마음 편히 늦잠을 잘 수 있어서 매우 좋습니다. 또한 정각 알리미는 매우 편합니다.적극 추천합니다.^^

### 4/5 — Option to use itune for alarm sound

*2012-05-11*

### 5/5 — Akdjx

### 1/5 — Unable to set time

*2020-10-07, version 2.9.9*

When you try to set the time, only a blank screen comes up. I wrote asking for assistance, but have not heard back. Useless unless this can be resolved.

### 1/5 — BULL CRAP!!!!!!!

*2016-08-15, version 2.6.0*

OMG I wanted an app where I could record something as my MORNING alarm.... And I got it and I loved it until.. I went to test it ( like set an alarm for 2 min ahead) and you want to know what happened...!!! I had to slide the notification bar for the alarm to even f-ing start good thing I tested it or I would have slept in and been late and got  in trouble how am I supposed to wake up to slide a bar so my alarm can start if my alarm doesn't wake me up in the first place!!!???? I call BC DO NOT  GET THIS APP!!!!

### 1/5 — 리뷰잘안쓰는데......

*2011-09-07*

매번 알람시간 바꾸는것도 귀찮아서 1-23시까지 다 설정해놓고 불필요한것만 체크해서 끄면 되도록 해서 사용하고 있는데 
이건 뭐 알람이 3개밖에 설정이 안되네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
알람추가 개당0.99$ 
참고하세요

### 1/5 — Dates Are Off By A Day

*2011-07-02, version 1.2.1*

Why are the dates wrong for the holidays? For example, Christmas for the next couple of years is on 
Dec. 24, New Years Day is Dec. 31, etc. Am I doing something wrong?

### 3/5 — What???

*2014-05-22, version 2.4.6*

This is an awesome app and all but how do you use the recording as an alarm

### 3/5 — 1rd

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2024-12-25*

I love it my siblings think it’s annoying but it helps me wake up

### 5/5 — Best App on my device

*2020-04-20*

This app is all you want from an alarm clock app and even more. No pushing advertisement 
No pushing to write reviews it is just awesome!! 
Love it 
I just hope the graphic uI be improved in newer version
But who cares in the middle of the night!!??😁 Thank you Thankyou

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2020-03-23*

I can record my voice for the goals I need to accomplish and with it as my alarm I know what I need to do for the day! It seriously helps cause now I can wake up and hear “You have a doctor appointment today.” Or “You need to clean the bathroom today.” And I can take the necessary steps for those things! I love it!

### 5/5 — This app is exactly what I wanted!

*2018-12-05*

This app is absolutely amazing! i’d been looking for something cheap (or like this app, even free) so I could have an alarm with my favorite songs, i just record it off my laptop in a quiet area and it works really well. The recording feature is really cute too, with the idea of recording a loved ones voice or anything else unique for a great alarm! i’m so thankful i found it and recommend it to everyone. ♥️

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted!!!

*2016-03-18*

This is the first app that I have found that lets you record whatever you want for your alarm. It's also free!! All the other apps that you can do a voice record for an alarm never work, and they charge for them not working. A bomb could go off next to me and I'll sleep through it. The only thing that wakes me up is my children's voices. Now they can wake me up on time everyday and they aren't even awake yet. I love this app, it's the best app for me.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2015-06-05*

I was so happy to finally find it app with an alarm that goes off every other day

### 5/5 — works well

*2014-10-27*

I'm giving it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in spite of the fact that the English instructions for the "multitasking" function require a bit of trial & error to understand. First alarm app that reliably plays audio recording without a notification to play first! If you want a reminder that sticks in your head because it's the first thing you hear upon awaking, you found the app! Free! Or a buck for multiple alarms- worth it!

### 5/5 — Good

*2014-10-17*

You can use your voice to wake your kids up and remind other things. I like it.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-04-24*

Lots of customizable options. Worth taking the time to set it all up

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-09-17, version 2.4.2*

Has lots of cool alarm sounds.
