### 1/5 — Breaks my Eardrums

*2026-08-05, version 5.456*

I've been looking for an app that can wake me up a little less aggressively than my normal alarm, and I thought this might work with the 30 minute wakeup, but no. I often listen to white noise or an audiobook through headphones to fall asleep, but when this first alarm starts, it increases whatever other audio is playing to 100%, blasts my eardrums, and shocks me awake more aggressively than my regular alarm. I've tried turning on "air play" in the app and turning the volume for the alarm itself to 0, nothing works. App doesn't have support available beyond generic faqs so here we are.

### 2/5 — Tags list don’t scroll

*2026-06-25, version 5.454*

With updates , Tags list with many tags don’t scroll. That way the save button is not reachable. 
Please fix that bug.

### 1/5 — The notes don’t work!

*2026-06-05, version 5.454*

After the recent update the adding of the notes/ tags after you set the alarm don’t work. The icons are too big to “submit” or whatever it was and if you swipe down it goes away. Fix this.

### 2/5 — Update made it worse

*2026-05-16, version 5.452*

This latest update has made the app harder to use. The notes that you can add to large but you can’t scroll or save them. The brightness is much too bright. Please adjust.

### 1/5 — Why log in?

*2026-05-15, version 5.452*

Been using this alarm app for nearly 15 years. Why do you need an account to use it now? Why is there no guest option? I just want to set my alarm. This is heartbreaking. I knew something was in the works when the ads change about a month ago. Sad

### 2/5 — Screen too bright since latest upgrade

*2026-05-15, version 5.452*

I’ve used Sleep Time for well over a decade and have genuinely loved it. That’s why this latest update is disappointing. The new interface has too many bright white buttons and screen elements, making it much too bright for nighttime use. For a sleep app, dark, low-light usability should be a priority. Please consider adding a true dark mode or reducing the brightness of the buttons. I’d love to keep using the app I’ve trusted for years.

### 1/5 — デザイン改悪

*2026-05-14*

アップデートでデザインが一新されましたが、断然以前の方が良かったです。

元に戻して！！

### 1/5 — Stops working all the time

*2026-05-01, version 5.416*

This app works for me 1/10 times. Every other time when I wake up and go to shut it off, I find it automatically stopped at some point and didn’t count any of my sleep rendering it useless

### 2/5 — Fix your UI

*2026-04-08, version 5.416*

The X button to continue into the free app shouldn’t be shoved into the upper right corner where it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to hit and close out of the ad. Shame on you

### 1/5 — Cash grab

*2026-03-26, version 5.416*

After using the app for 5+ years with all features unlock for a small fee, the app has reverted my status back to free version with adds.  Not trying to pay additional monthly fees for an application feature I previously had. -app deleted-
