A very good app with a few bugs.

This has been a great tool for me for 4 years. I appreciate how it is accessible with the VoiceOver screen reader. However, I just got an iPhone SE and the shaker will not pair with it for some reason. I have an iPod Touch that it still works with so I will use it with that but it appears to not work with newer iPhones on iOS 16. The battery-powered alarm won't either.

Buggiest thing I’ve ever purchased

Bluetooth doesn't work

I am very pleased with the actual alarm clock, but it's a bummer the bluetooth on the app doesn't work. The clock only has 2 possible alarms set, and i was hoping to have more via the app.

Useless

I was able to get the app to connect to my alarm for one day and then it never worked again. I’m a healthcare professional that takes call so the ability to wake for calls and texts in the middle of the night is something I absolutely must have. I’m a long time user of their products, over 20 years, but this one is absolutely useless. Will be looking into other options. Wish I could give this zero stars. Do not buy this alarm!

Cool idea but it needs some work

I like having the ability to control when my alarms with go off but I wish I had more options and control over details like what kind of vibrations happen, how long snooze is, and the alarm duration. Overall, the app just needs more work. It’s a cool idea initially though.

Bluetooth reconnect

Need fix update apps about Bluetooth connect or my plug Bluetooth

Once you set it, you’ll never forget it

After you set the alarm, it’s impossible to turn off or I haven’t found the off button on the app, and it’s not very clear how to turn off.

It’s pretty good

I saw the other reviews tearing this little device apart. Used it for about 2 weeks now... it’s working for me but there was one time I had the repair it randomly. I just don’t see anywhere to hit snooze or turn the devices alarm off once it has stared going off. It has kept me getting up, I have been staying up till 2am and needed something to jolt me awake. My wife bought it I’m glad she did, I’m sure my boss it happy also. ;)

Sonic Bomb

Never connects like it is supposed to. Tired of trying to set it. Too bad, I had high hopes!!!

Awful

This product and app are in need of serious revisions and reworking if this company ever intends to be proud of what they’re selling here.

Issues with pairing

I got it to pair up with my iPhone once or twice, after that I could never get the product to connect again. I tried everything including deleting/re-installing the app. I don’t have any issues with other electronics that pair via Bluetooth. There should be a dedicated button to reset the pairing without having to go through the set up process again. Junk.

Unreliable

When this works it’s great, but unfortunately, it’s not reliable. Why doesn’t company fix the issues?

Was good at first& now won’t work

I purchased the sonic bomb that you set the alarm in your phone . At first it worked great - vibrating woke me up . Now after having for about 6 months or less it is not vibrating when the alarm goes off . So doesn’t do me much good for getting up !!
I even deleted the app & put it back on thinking it might help - no joy . Very disappointed as I really liked the size & figured it would be good for travel as well as home .

Buyer beware

Product used with this app did not work as advertised. Maybe it was because of this next to useless app. I do not recommend this product of app.

Crappy app connectivity

I’d agree the app connectivity is poor. After spending a good 30 minutes trying to get the app to re-pair after connection issues, I thought of finding the device in Bluetooth list and chose “forget device” and only then was I able to repair the device quickly.

Not worth the headache

The app controls nothing ended up throwing the bed shaker away, just disappointed in this due to the fact there not much opinions for hard of hearing alarm clocks

Please update (deaf surgical tech)

I’m deaf and do not have the ability to wake up on call when this app constantly has issues! Every time I go in I always get the same notification “device busy” when will it end. I can’t even set an alarm! People pay money for this alarm with an app that doesn’t even work. I’m desperate I need a job! Fix this issue! This app hasn’t been updated in 9 months, that is atrocious. Take the alarm off the market or fix your app.

it's not pairing with my phone

i have had this alarm for almost a year and every month or so when i try to connect the alarm to the app without fail it says it could not connect to my sonic bomb. i also can't figure out how to even set the time normally because the alarm is so confusing. any help would be appreciated.

Setting alarm

I have trouble setting the alarm. It keeps giving me a message Device busy. It is quite frustrating to set the alarm everyday and to delete the previous alarms that I no longer need. I have to reboot my phone every time and sometimes that doesn’t work. Now doesn’t work at all. I tried everything.
