TIME TO ENJOY SETTING YOUR ALARM CLOCK
Reach out and touch the screen. Every element is meant to be interactive. Left handed? Yes, Rise loves you, too.

Pull it up or down and watch the sky change as you pick a wake up time. Turn the alarm on by pulling the screen left or right.

Or, simply shake your device to quickly set an alarm for a short nap or to use as a timer.

WAKING UP IS A BEAUTIFUL THING
Wake up to the sound of the woods, ease into the day with a custom Rise melody, or your favorite song from iTunes. 

Tap to snooze and be a little late, or pull the screen to turn off the alarm and be on time. Hey, it's your life.

From the lock screen: Shake to snooze or turn off the alarm.

MULTIPLE ALARMS HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS EASY (With in-app purchase)
Easily create repeating alarms for any time with custom labels for each alarm. Toggle all your alarms on or off from one screen. Rise will always show the next alarm when you open the app. 

A BETTER ALARM NEEDS A BETTER CLOCK
Large clock in either portrait or landscape (for docked devices) with clock background options: Night or Skyscape. Swipe to change the clock background and dim the screen by sliding up or down. 

LET RISE HELP YOU FALL (ASLEEP)
Use SleepTunes to make a playlist from your iTunes collection to help you fall asleep. Set a timer for your playlist so it doesn't run all night.

NOTES
- Rise is made for iOS 9+ compatible devices.
- Rise works with "Do Not Disturb" and the silence switch as long as it's in the foreground and / or auto-locked when using those two features.

### 4/5 — Nice appearance

*2025-12-15, version 6.3*

Alarm to simple use. It would be five star if the weather/temperature icon could be chosen to display on the clock main screen instead just briefly after turning off the alarm.

### 1/5 — i’m going to get a new clock.

*2025-03-13, version 6.3*

my alarm clock was set for 7:10am but the alarm was’nt working.

### 2/5 — Could be good but no

*2024-08-20, version 6.3*

The inicial purchase is for only one alarm, if you want to be able to make more than one alarm, they charge you, if you want to access not only the basic sound, they charge you. Cheap, but not worthy, really. Don’t waste your money.
.
Solo te deja comprar una alarma, si quieres establecer otra, te cobran. Los sonidos son básicos, tienen dos secciones más de sonidos pero también las cobran. Parece económica, pero no. No gastes tu dinero, no vale la pena.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-04-03, version 6.3*

This is clearly just a scam. There is no alarm

### 5/5 — very nice alarm app

*2024-02-02, version 6.3*

when i first downloaded it i dont know how to add alarms but after i saw tue controls i know what to do

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2023-12-01, version 6.3*

The alarm wont go off if it is not open. When you open it after the time you set, it will right away start ringing showing the time that was already past due. Alarm should go off regardless if the app is open or not. I even thought since it was due to the focus settings but I already added the app to the exemption so it was not because of that. 
Waste of purchase the only thing that is good in this apps is it shows how much time left before it goes off which is the reason why I purchased this but what’s the point of that if it won’t go off when you expected it.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2023-11-02, version 6.3*

So glad this is back! it worth all years of waiting

### 1/5 — $4 and it doesn’t work

*2023-10-07, version 6.3*

Hi, I paid for all the features before an alarm  was cast. However, when I woke an hour late the next morning to no alarm, I was surprised. Deleted. Not reinstalling. Enjoy my $4!

### 3/5 — App is ok

*2023-08-01*

It has some nice tunes but it would be great to have some options of calmer sounds without loud bells or high pitched noise. 
Would love to have just an ocean sound with just the waves.

Its difficult to tell if the alarm has been turned on or off with its current options

### 2/5 — Doesn’t go off

*2023-02-14, version 6.3*

Sadly although I like the sounds on offer I can’t rely on this alarm as it just doesn’t always go off. Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong but it’s not reliable enough for me sadly
