It wakes you up and makes you spin to turn off alarm. WARNING: YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT OPEN ALL NIGHT. It doesn’t turn off though if the app is open. I recommend keeping it on a charger all night long or you’ll wake up with no batterie and your alarm might not go off. ### 5/5 — Cool Rotation! *2024-07-15, version 49.4* So this app tells you to spin your device to turn off the alarm. But there’s a lot of notifications! Woah! ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2024-07-02, version 49.4* perfect if regular alarms don’t wake you :’) ### 5/5 — This is great!! *2024-06-17* Ok, so if your like me and CANNOT get up in the morning like me,THIS APP IS FOR YOU.

I’m easy to bribe 😎 been using for a couple of weeks and my only complaint was the lack of variety for earning extra espressos, so thanks 🤣 ### 5/5 — Unique *2023-06-29, version 48.1* This alarm is unique…I love all of the different ways you can access features. ### 5/5 — First alarm that works for me *2023-06-20, version 48.1* 5 stars fam no cap on god this app is bussin bussin ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 1 *2022-12-04* First night of using it for, complete fail😂this did not force me out of bed at allll, I simply just grabbed my phone and turned the volume down then boom, no more alarm. I know there are solutions like putting it across the room, but really, they should figure out a way to make sure that doesn’t happen. Other than that, love the functionality of the actual app. ### 1/5 — This app is terror *2022-09-08, version 46.2* This app is horrible!!!!! It didn’t wake me up and made me late for school, I wish it was possible to give 1 star!!! Horrible! And Jarvis is annoying.. ### 1/5 — Drains battery *2020-06-06* I downloaded this app because it seemed to have loads of great reviews, but what a lot of people don‘t seem to notice is that this app will eat up your phone’s battery if it isn’t plugged in. This can wear down your battery in the long term too if you use this app regularly. Within the space of one or two hours last night, when my phone was not plugged in, the battery level plummeted from 100% to 1%, and the app’s low battery warning alarm woke me up in the middle of the night. Just use the alarm pre-installed on the phone if you don’t want to wake up in the middle of the night or have your phone’s battery wear down. ### 3/5 — Mmmmm *2024-02-05, version 49.4* I love love love this app BUT you have to set ur own alarm on another app cause it doesn’t ring AND it gives u 700 notifications ### 3/5 — Bypass issues *2022-04-29, version 46.2* I do love this app, however, after the second day, I already figured out how to bypass the alarm in my sleep. I need an app that won’t let me bypass the alarm no matter what. ### 3/5 — Forced to do this for espresso *2022-03-06, version 44.2* Not cool ### 3/5 — Love this app! *2019-01-02, version 33.0* The amount of spinning required to turn off the alarm is excellent. It really gets me out of bed!!! Update: VERY FRUSTRATED that I discovered you can turn iPhone volume down once alarm starts, and end up oversleeping. App needs to automatically increase volume. ### 4/5 — Brilliant! *2024-10-30, version 51.4* Great app! ### 4/5 — Works great…sometimes *2024-09-16, version 50.0* It needs to be open when you lock your phone for the night ### 4/5 — Good *2023-03-22* Great app overall. Gets me out of bed. The format of the app is a bit weird tho. Its literally impossible to read the motivational quotes because white font on white background is illegible. Another thing is how delicate the app failure is. It would help if we were sent a notification if we accidentally closed the app so we aren’t late for work or class. Happened on more than one occasion :( ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Greatttt *2025-11-28* Only alarm clock that gets me out of bed Ty for making this appp ### 5/5 — The app is good *2025-11-27, version 54.0* It wakes me up every morning ### 5/5 — The coffee was loverle xxx *2025-09-30* Thanks very much xxx ### 5/5 — A no brainer *2025-02-08, version 54.0* This app is a must have if you want to wake up to the best days of your life. ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2025-02-03, version 53.0* This is the only thing that wakes me up! ### 5/5 — Good *2024-12-05, version 53.0* Love it!
