## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-02-14*

Tried it almost 10 times, didn’t work.

### 1/5 — Supporting new app - but ..

*2022-08-26*

Update -   Charged the phone faced down but didn’t work 

Not sure how to turn off the white noise. The lowest I can get is 0.1% on settings. It’s a bit confusing why it keeps requiring the phone to be charged but I am giving 5 star because it’s free + it doesn’t ask me to download Apple Music. ( like other podcast alarm does). Hope it will work tomorrow

**Developer response:** Try to switch off the iPhone and restart it. The reason it’s necessary to charge the iPhone is because its playing the white noice for hours and the battery could shot down. The Appla rules are very strictly

### 1/5 — Not at all worth it.

*2019-09-21*

No way to turn the ‘white noise’ option off. Can’t play music, only pod casts.

**Developer response:** Please, check the new version, in the oldest one there was some issue in some podcast

### 1/5 — White noise

*2019-08-27*

You cannot get rid of the white noise which is really annoying

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2019-05-16*

Did not work. Could not find instructions as to wether I was operating correctly. Was not able to view reviews to find out either. Will update review if the app works for me.

### 2/5 — Hoping for updates

*2019-02-24*

Good concept but the execution could use work, it doesn’t play the podcast that is set to play and the navigation is a little frustrating. Would love to see this get to a usable state.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review.
You can send us a mail to solve your issue. 
This app read all the podcasts inside the app Podcasts, so open it and check if all downloads are done.

### 4/5 — Great idea!

*2019-05-16*

Such a great idea! Loving the app so far, but right now I don’t know how to choose a specific podcast episode to listen to, how do I do that? It just plays the last one on the list.

### 5/5 — It Works!!

*2021-01-28*

I woke up this morning to my favorite podcast and I was thrilled!! Highly recommend this app for anyone who wants to start the day listening to the podcasts they love

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-01-15*

This app is a bit rough around the edges, but it does the job. You can set the alarm to wake you up with a podcast of your choosing, and it’s worked perfectly fine every morning so far. Some other reviewers say that you can’t turn off the white noise, but that’s not true. You can reduce the volume of the white noise to 0 under settings.
