It also helps we to stop putting things off and get them done. ### 4/5 — almost perfect *2024-02-05, version 2.5* I really love this app! I wish the alarm sound would turn off while I’m doing the puzzles though. Do you think you can add the option to have the sound turn off while doing tasks? ### 5/5 — Alarmer *2021-04-29, version 2.2.1* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great Alarm *2021-04-23, version 2.2* Newest Update added the option to turn off Skip Task. Great to see developers take feedback. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-09-28, version 2.0* As a chronic snoozer this app is the best I’ve tried to get me up. ### 5/5 — Great app that really helps to wake up *2019-10-18, version 1.6.1* I’m enjoying the app, it really helps you to wake up. I’m amazed with the whole idea, so special thank you to the dev team! And new feature with wake up photos collecting- I loooove it!❤️ ### 5/5 — Необычно и прикольно *2019-08-10, version 1.5* Что ж, это необычно)) мне пришлось потратить 5 минут, чтобы отключить его, но это было увлекательно ### 5/5 — Cool! *2019-08-10, version 1.5* Great app! Recommend for everyone ### 5/5 — Классное приложение! *2019-08-10, version 1.5* Приложение очень нравится, утром стало интересней просыпаться и видеть новое задание, всем советую!👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Very good! *2019-08-09, version 1.4.1* Thanks to developers! I love this app! Works perfectly! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Late *2026-05-07, version 2.5.5* It worked for the first few days, until it started going off 50 minutes after I set it ### 1/5 — Not what I wanted *2024-02-08, version 2.5* This is the first app that I’ve seen that will not alert you if you close the app. It will not alarm when it’s name is literally “Alarm”. To save my battery I close all unused apps. I use this alarm only on Sundays, so why would I keep it open? Upon closing this app, it notifies me that I will not receive an alarm for the set times, only a notification which defeats the purpose. This is not a good app. ### 2/5 — Purchased - But Still Snoozes *2026-02-17, version 2.5.5* I did purchase this app for the custom barcode feature to wake up and the hope that I couldn’t hit snooze. Unfortunately, if you close out of the app (like your sleepy self might do) after 3 tries, it’ll give you a watch ads option to snooze. This isn’t a feature, to my knowledge, you can disable like a normal snooze. Subscribed ($33 a year), but I still have to see ads and it takes away the purpose of the purchase? Cancelled my payment, seeking options elsewhere. ### 2/5 — Falla en botones con pantalla apagada *2024-07-17, version 2.5.1* Cuando empieza a sonar no hay botones grandes para detener la alarma es frustrante al momentos de despertar o para posponer ### 2/5 — Alarm fails to sound sometimes *2022-09-30, version 2.4.3* I can’t rely on the app because the alarm sometimes fails to sound. I wake up late and see the alarm is triggered and my phone is vibrating, but it isn’t making sound. When this happens, sometimes the sound will start to play once I begin unlocking the phone and I think I’ve also sometimes had to flip Silent Mode Off. (Note that the alarm is supposed to [and usually does] sound when Silent Mode is On). I thought maybe this issue might be related to the app somehow being in the background and closed by iOS. So I’ve tried to have the app be in the foreground when I lock my phone and go to sleep. But that doesn’t seem to workaround the issue. Please let me know if there’s a solution for this. I like the app aside from this unreliability. ### 2/5 — Drains iPhone battery *2021-05-22, version 2.2.1* I used this app for a few weeks. It helps to hand the tasks to get your morning fog to dissipate. However the app needs to stay open in order to work and it’s not considered “in the background “ - so it drains your battery. I thought there was something wrong with my iPhone. Got a new phone and still had issues. Finally determined it was this app. ### 3/5 — wish there were other annoying sounds, otherwise great free app *2025-03-18, version 2.5.4* yeah, the adds aren’t overwhelmingly long, it’s easy to use, it is persistent which i need(meaning it doesn’t shut off even tho u press the power button lol). it’s optional to do the “tasks”. ### 3/5 — No alarm *2024-01-30, version 2.5* Good app just doesn’t have an alarm but tasks work fine ### 4/5 — Great accountability features *2025-05-11, version 2.5.4* I wish it worked when the app is closed ### 4/5 — Great app but needs more *2025-03-18, version 2.5.4* The app its self is great and helps me get up, although more features could be added. I think people would like if you could import your own alarm sound. I also think that people would like walking as a task. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Free and good app *2026-07-08, version 2.5.5* First app Ive found that is actually usable without a subscription ### 5/5 — Smart Alarm Clock – Alarmer *2025-12-03, version 2.5.5* Get Up Tasks, Nice Wake Music ### 5/5 — Finally a decent alarm app *2025-04-09, version 2.5.4* PLEASE add an option to skip an alarm without turning it off completely. If I have to remember to go back into the app the next day to turn the alarm back on…. I won’t. ### 5/5 — Приложения просто бомба *2025-01-13, version 2.5.4* Дякую очень класное придложения ### 5/5 — Працює на віброрежимі *2024-12-08, version 2.5.4* Доброго дня, додаток почав працювати без звуку замість звуку вібро ### 5/5 — Excellent, I like the tones. *2024-08-21, version 2.5.1* Ok ### 5/5 — This app is awesome. *2024-06-04, version 2.5* If you’re looking at installing this, I’ll give you a basic rundown. It’s what a person like me needs. I always used to struggle with getting up in the morning and now with this I don’t basically everybody uses the basic alarms app that comes on their phone, which we all know you’re just gonna snooze through which is why this app has you doing math problems, facial recognition, barcode, scanning, etc. which will get you out of bed and doing the tasks you need to do. thank you for your time. ### 5/5 — Good so far *2023-08-29, version 2.4.4* Everything looks good and works great so far! It’s free and allows you to add you own music as the alarm. Works in locked screen and good mode to make sure you are awake. Good addition!!! ### 5/5 — Gets me up every time *2022-02-07, version 2.4* This is by far the best alarm app I have downloaded it will guarantee you wake up as you have to complete tasks.I wake up at 5am without fail everyday ### 5/5 — Updated app is perfect! *2021-05-05, version 2.2.1* I had wrote a review a few months ago to suggest an option to prevent users from skipping tasks, as well as setting an alarm for more than one day of the week. I am so glad that the developers really listened and improved the app because now it’s really helping me stay awake! Awesome job, 5/5. :) *Also, a tip for using the “barcode” task to stop an alarm: make sure it’s a barcode that you will ALWAYS have (not one on a disposable item). I made the mistake of choosing a water gallon barcode and forgot to change it once I threw away the gallon. It was a struggle trying to disable the alarm without having the barcode to scan and I had to quickly close and reopen the app several times to delete the alarm before it rang. On the bright side, at least it really commits to making you complete the task and it did keep me from going back to sleep, lol. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
