Incredibly annoying

The least user-friendly app ever. I cannot play the podcast episode I want to as an alarm and there is no way to delete an episode from the queue.

Ne fonctionne pas. À fuir.

J’ai pris cette application (payante) pour pouvoir me réveiller avec des épisodes bien précis de certains podcasts d’hypnose choisis précisément et sélectionnés (cela se nomme « queue » ). Même en maintenant l’application allumée durant la nuit, cela fonctionne une fois sur deux ou trois voire moins. Quand le jour de l’alarme est passé même si on a sélectionné « tous les jours » cela ne fonctionne pas : il n’y a plus rien du tout et il faut reprogrammer chaque soir. Bref. Cette application : c’est n’importe quoi. 7€ à la poubelle. Je dois me réveiller à 4:30. Autant dire que je double avec une vraie « alarme ».

Unreliable so far

The app has only worked a few times for me. Thankfully I set back up alarms just in case. I’ve tested it and it only seems to work when I have the actual app open. Won’t work if my phone is locked. I tried looking for tips on the website but it seems like I’m doing everything I can for it to work properly? I’d really like to use it but can’t have something unreliable. Any tips appreciated if I’ve missed something.

GREAT Idea

I love, LOVE, the idea of this so much. But the alarm is not set up-as far as I can tell, to play thethe podcasts under most circumstances. My experience is that the app has to stay open in order for it to work, which And setting up the podcast is a little confusing, and to play the selection as you’re waking up is hit or miss 😭

検索が死んでる

検索してもPodcastの曲が出てこなく、ラジオの番組しか出ないのは何故?

Inconsistent

This app has not worked all this week and I am so disappointed. When it works it is great, but when it’s not I thank God for waking me up in time for work. Get it together, people!!

Limited functionality

I was hoping this would be able to tee up multiple daily playlists in a particular order for my alarm and play them consecutively. I have a few daily podcasts I like and want to wake up to them in the same order every day. Instead it only plays one and sometimes it plays the previous day for some reason…for a paid app, I was expecting more functionality.

Unreliable

The app, even when left on in the background, will not set off consistently.

Could be due to the selection of podcasts I have, haven’t tried debugging it that far to see if different podcasts would make a difference.

It’s a shame, this app could be awesome with a little more work and testing.

Not good

This app is difficult to use and not helpful. Truly a waste of time

I'm awake

Everything I needed, no subscription, no ads. Very simple and clean design. (Except if there are ads built into a podcast recording but that's not the dev's fault.)

Free!

Great free podcast alarm!

Can’t download my own podcast I prefer

Looks like the podcast are on there of the developers choice. He must get some kind of percentage of commission very few podcast to choose from. I would like a refund until he gets it fixed to where I can put my own podcast there.

Mad glitches

Won’t play the newest podcast released like promised - Keeps playing the previous day’s. If the app is left running in the background and I get a phone call, when the call is over (even if the cal isn’t answered, just finishes ringing), the app resumes what was playing. Even if phone is on silent. Not good for meetings or really to ever leave the app open. Lowered my rating from 2 to 1

iPad Pro frozen and unable to force shut down…

and now the alarm won’t stop (set for 7 am, but it’s now 11 pm). Extremely unhappy. Nothing I can do but wait for the battery to run out.

Great, but limited podcast options

I like it a lot! The only thing is that it doesn’t have my favorite morning podcast, NPR Up First. I’m not sure how hard that is to add. I will update my review to 5 stars when it gets added!

Fails every other day

It simply does not work properly. Every other day it “fails to download” episode… kind of defeat the purpose of a podcast alarm clock.

Worst alarm

Only works intermittently. Not reliable as an alarm. Doesn’t start when you want it to. Has a repeat feature that doesn’t work. Worst app I’ve ever purchased!

It’s ok

Been using it for a few days. The idea works, you are able to set up an alarm where your podcast plays. However it is not the most recent episode. So, if you follow a daily podcast or a news podcast, you’re not going to be getting a daily play, you’re getting whatever day the app chooses to play. If the settings allowed for the user to figure out a way to ensure that you’re getting the most recent episode, this app would be great.
