I want to wake up to a super hard sudoku, a tangram, kenken, and a memory game at the same time ### 2/5 — My personal opinion *2018-04-14* I think the idea of having a puzzle to get your brain going is a great idea and it works, but there isn’t a way to change the alarm sound, which is loud and very sudden, and almost aggressive, this is a bad alarm as, waking up in a panic at the loud obnoxious noise is bad for the brain and the body, and this will result in a bad day( or I have found this with myself, friends and family), I have also found waking up abruptly makes me not want to get out of bed in the morning, but rather just go back to sleep. ### 3/5 — Good.. *2017-11-10* I found this app to be good and it does wake me up. It works but it has to be in the background apps to work. Which is completely acceptable in my eyes. But there is kind of a big issue. I would like the app a lot better if we got to pick the sound we wake up to. And right now it is set to like a heavy rock guitar solo and other weird random alarms. I don’t really fancy waking up to that every morning... ### 2/5 — Do they even speak English *2017-07-05* It was a puzzle itself just trying to understand what was displayed. The app is okay. The proper grammar is terrible. ### 3/5 — SwaggyCat52 *2017-05-02* It's great but I can't delete alarms cuz it crashes every time I try ### 3/5 — USEFUL APP *2017-02-27* Quite good to activate your mind in waking up ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-07-12* The alarm did not go off at all. A pop up window said I either turned the alarm off (no), had my phone on do not disturb (yes, the regular alarm works with this, if every sound on my phone goes off I won't sleep at all) or some other general maybe issues. Also there are tons of ads and no settings to make the sleep sounds stop at any time. Basically a useless app. ### 1/5 — Alarm never goes off *2016-06-29* No matter what alarm I set, it never goes off. There are no push notifications or anything, and no settings on the app to change that. I can't review the puzzles because there was never an alarm. ### 1/5 — They have the right idea *2016-05-23* It's a cool concept of an app if it actually worked. When you set the alarms they don't even go off. I have not been late 3 days in a row since I got the app because the alarms don't even go off. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-04-15* Poorly made, full of broken English. I like the idea but the execution is terrible. ### 1/5 — HATE *2016-03-07, version 1.2* I hated it I did not get any sleep and it would not shut up "I did not get any sleep😴😤" ### 3/5 — Bljbggshkbvlisg *2016-03-06* Doesn't work when the phone is locked ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App crashing *2026-07-20* App isn’t even opening up, it’s crashing at start ### 1/5 — 영어여서 못알아 보겠어요 *2020-07-17* 한국어 패치해주세요ㅜㅜ ### 1/5 — It’s a good thing I set a backup alarm with another app *2020-03-20* because if I had relied on this one I wouldn’t have woken up until hours late ### 1/5 — Ridicule *2018-02-21* Non mais vous êtes sérieux, je dois récolter des points pour programmer un mode plus difficile? J’ai télécharger cette application pour m’aider à me lever, pas pour jouer?? Publicités envahissantes, aucun paramètres personnalisable.... ### 1/5 — No Sound *2017-10-18* I was really excited when I got this app, because I have narcolepsy and am on medication both to stay awake and to give me good quality sleep. This means, however, I snooze regular alarms without realizing it. This app doesn’t work properly AT ALL. The notification will pop up on my phone, but the sound never rings, so it doesn’t even wake me up. Very disappointed in this app! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work and was not copyedited *2017-10-10* Half the time in the settings of this app puzzle is spelled "pazzle." How am I supposed to trust them to have a reliable app (especially an alarm app, which has to be the most reliable thing on your phone) when they can't even spell their own name right? Spend a few bucks and get something that actually works. It's worth it to get yourself out of bed on time. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2017-08-23* I tried everything to get this app to work but it never would. do not recommend. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-03-01* This alarm clock, fails to go off and wake you up at all. Then in a few days later will go off (even though alarm is set daily not to a schedule). Do not waste your time or trust it. ### 1/5 — Crap *2016-09-18* It's the crap. I think the developers sold this app. Please block it, don't make the trash. ### 1/5 — Alarms never weren't off *2016-08-18* Just never worked. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Some random dude *2016-09-28* It alright ### 5/5 — Hard time waking up? *2016-04-29* Do you have a hard time waking up in the morning? Well so did I, constantly sleeping in and late to school. I tried to find an app that required you to solve puzzles to turn off the alarm and this is the best one I came across! If you need help waking up to your alarm, this is the app you need ### 5/5 — It's useful *2016-04-13* Butttttttt better puzzles and games would help more ### 5/5 — I love it. *2016-02-03* This app actually really impressed me for a free app. I am extremely happy with it so far. ### 4/5 — Great *2017-06-08* Good except the part where you have to earn 15 points to get normal mode because it only gives you three points each time ### 4/5 — Handy *2016-09-18* Useful little application for those who (like me) found themselves surprisingly able to shut off the standard iPhone alarm without actually waking up. 😅 For those who've had issues with the alarm "not going off," try keeping your phone screen on through the night (face down and plugged in) AND make sure the volume switch isn't set to vibrate/silence. I haven't had any issues with the app going off since then, and the sleep sounds are pleasant too! (Though some could definitely loop more seamlessly...) Beyond that the English translations are a little stilted, but not so much that they're incomprehensible. Overall a handy little app. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2016-08-29* I love this app. I really like that it still blasts sound at you even if your phone is in silent mode, which a lot of other alarm apps don't do. I like the song choice but more options would be nice. The English could use some work but their point is still communicated. I thought that the option of watching ads to get points to unlock more features was very clever, if a little annoying that that is the only way to get points! I would definitely buy an ad-free version of this app with all the features already unlocked. Overall, great app and I recommend it! ### 4/5 — Wakes me up! But needs improvements *2016-08-24* The app has a potential. It really helped me wake up. But you need to first write the app in proper english. There are a lot of mistakes. User needs to be able to choose different songs to wake up to. Not just rock. Too many ads. I suggest removing the top banner with the other apps. Its distracting. Stick to one ad implementation and make it as slick as possible. Different puzzles would be a nice update in the future. Nice app overall. ### 4/5 — Nice but needs cleaning up *2016-02-24* The app is nice but please get help with the English translations, they are really bad and ruins the experience for some. ### 4/5 — Few suggestions *2016-02-14* It's a great app, it works how it's supposed to and all, however, I do have a few ideas to make it better: 1. Make you have a selection for the music, I don't really like the music that plays, and I would like to choose from a selection of soundtracks. 2. Have something to spend points on. Points have no value at the moment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
