calm mornings

I have been using this app for years and it is fabulous. It wakes me up in a calm way. I also have set up one sequence that just rings every three minutes and I use it for yoga poses. It is the best!

Gentle and gradual

I've been using this alarm for several months.
Now I wake up with the gentle sounds of the bells in combination with my iPad Chimes alarm.
I thought the volume went down when I turn down BBC or Netflix on my iPad.
But the other day I noticed the patterns and volume % is totally customised. So, I changed it and now Is my perfect pattern.
I'd love to listen different bells sounds instead a single one.
If it's possible to do it, still I didn't figure it how.
But making sound at the same time with the iPad chimes is a good combination.
I like the snooze button is big and easily accessible,I like the Sure wake although I never had to use it.I love the multiple alarms so is not needed to change every time we have a different time table.
I highly recommend it.
It's a shame we cannot find more alarms like this one.

Best alarm clock

Waking up to a progressive alarm is a lot less jarring the standard alarm clocks. This app is great with how you can customize the alarm. I wish it was still supported.

Update: I have found occasionally the app will reset itself rather than alarm. Hope this bug can be fixed.

Update 3/14/19: app is still bugged. Occasionally instead of alarming, it will just reset. I woke this morning to my backup alarm and wondered why this one didn’t work. When I opened my iPad this app was open, alarm was active, but it was going to alarm in 24 hours. Please fix this bug. Thank you

Update 3/28/21: bug never fixed. sadly it is obvious this very great app has been abandoned.
