### 3/5 — For those of you who who are heavy sleepers, don’t even bother with this app.

*2026-09-04*

Writing this review absolutely livid at 8:58am, about 5 minutes after my alarm that I set using this app woke me up for. The alarm was set for 7:45 with no snoozes. I’m about to miss my class that starts in a minute because this app decided to mess up on me for ZERO reason at all.

But besides functioning terribly, even the things it does right are absolutely stupid. Like locking the missions behind either paywalls or keeping a waking up streak (??? You only learn you unlock missions this way after you unlock them, an absolutely obtuse system.) Like yeah but typing a sentence or doing some math problems is not going to wake me up. And speaking of the math problems, if you don’t solve them in under a minute, it annoyingly starts ringing again. Meaning if you choose the hard math options it’s just near impossible without a calculator. And if I’m using a calculator why bother at all. You’re not even waking up by engaging your brain with some mental math, you’re just punching digits in. I’m also pretty sure you can’t upload your own wake up sounds so you just have to pray you like one of the preloaded ones. I’ve been using this corny “alarm” theme to wake me up and I hate it.

I got this app because I have a tendency to oversnooze my alarm, but when I’m waking up an hour late because of something completely out of my hands, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to justify using the app at all.

**Developer response:** Hello, you can change the mission time in Settings > Alarm Settings. Also we have multiple free missions right now and we are adding more as we add new missions. Thank you for trying SuperAlarm.

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-09-01, version 4.0.9*

When it works, it can be helpful. But I’ve noticed that sometimes the alarms won’t go off. Also, if you have the free version and accidentally click on the ad in the middle of the screen, the alarm will stop ringing in order to follow the pop up in your web browser

### 3/5 — There is a bug

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.9*

I am stuck in purchase screen there is no X or something else it is like if you don’t buy it you can’t access

### 2/5 — you shouldn’t have to pay to wake up.

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.8*

i have to pay 39.99. absolutely not

### 4/5 — You should not have to pay

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.7*

4

### 5/5 — Amazing app, works wonders, great team

*2026-08-25, version 4.0.7*

Came here from Alarmy and can say confidently that I will never be going back. This app is super intuitive and easy to use, no over complicated mess like other apps. Amazing support team as well

### 5/5 — I don’t like this

*2026-08-22, version 4.0.7*

I only rating it 5 so people can see it. It makes you pay for the app and there is no way you can say no I’ve tried to leave the open again but the  it still showed up 0 stars

### 2/5 — Used to love this app

*2026-08-21, version 4.0.6*

I am a very deep sleeper and this app would be one of the few things that worked for waking me up!!! Now everytime I try to click on it it says I need to try the premium version and won’t let me click out :( idk how to make the ad go away so the whole app is unusable for me

### 4/5 — Money

*2026-08-20, version 4.0.6*

I would love to use the app but why do I have to pay to get woken up in the morning?

### 3/5 — Well-designed app, but has a big need…

*2026-08-20, version 4.0.6*

The app is incredibly well-designed and works really well. However, it’s missing a key feature: gradual volume increases. With that, I go to 5 stars and use it everyday. Can’t stand being “jolted” awake by a full-volume alarm.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Won't let me edit an alarm that keeps going off repeatedly

*2026-09-04*

I set an alarm and it's been going off since this morning every 10 minutes and forcing me to do the puzzles and is never turning off and I'm done and they took all of my money instead of giving me the free trial like they said they just immediately charged me so now I just got $74 taken from me on top of not being able to turn off this stupid alarm

### 1/5 — Not even a little free

*2026-09-02*

Takes you on a long song and dance getting all these settings in place “just for you” and then paywalls you. This app doesn’t “contain purchases” this app is a purchase. Actually it’s even worse because it’s a subscription! Sod off you lying clowns. 1 star.

### 1/5 — Begs for $3 a month

*2026-09-02, version 4.0.10*

Begs you for money to use it. Dont install it ever.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-09-01, version 4.0.9*

Not paying to get woken up

### 1/5 — stuck on purchase screen

*2026-09-01, version 4.0.9*

The app will not let me continue with the free plan unless i pay 40 dollars
greedy devs

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-08-30*

This app sucked I didn’t even have it for a full hour and already asking me too pay and I can’t I highly DONT recommend this app

### 1/5 — Works until it doesnt

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.8*

Set 8 alarms last night for work and nome of them went off this morning, phone plugged in, on, and not on silent i checked. Late for work and probably gonna get fired thanks

### 1/5 — App gets stuck in forever loop

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.8*

Can’t complete a mission and it says you can do an alternate one but there’s no actual way on the interface to swap.

### 1/5 — Worked until it didn’t

*2026-08-26, version 4.0.8*

Used it since April, all of the sudden my alarms aren’t going off and I missed work twice because of it. Let me guess it’s because I’m not paying the subscription? 😂

### 1/5 — My Opinion

*2026-08-23, version 4.0.7*

i dont like how i have to pay for an alarm??? i didnt use it because i shouldn’t have to pay for an alarm.

Holy shnikey! First I’m startled by an extremely loud human then I have to go scan my toothbrush before it gets extremely loud again lol I’m up in record time. No more sleeping through my alarm. Lightening fast response from developer when I had a question. Thank you  Super Alarm!

### 5/5 — 건의 사항

*2026-08-29*

구독을 할 정도로 좋아서 깔았는데 알람이 안울릴 때에도 앱 삭제 못하게 만들어주시면 안될까요....? 구독을 한 이유가 앱 삭제 못하게 할 수 있어서 인데 이제는 알람 울리면 미루기 해놓고 알람 울리기 전에 앱을 삭제 해버리고 더 자요....ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 꼭 부탁드립니다

### 5/5 — (put it as five to get it up top)

*2026-08-28, version 4.0.8*

used this app for well over 6 months. randomly won’t let me use the app if i don’t subscribe for 40 dollars. very weird.

### 5/5 — 아이폰 최고의 알람 어플👍 잠 깨는데 최고에요

*2026-08-27*

알람이 울리다 마는 것 때문에 종종 늦게 일어나게 될 때가 있어서 절대 안꺼지는 알람을 찾다가 설치했는데 진짜 안꺼져서 무조건 원하는 시간에 일어날 수 있게 되었어요!👍👍👍 재잠듦 방지 기능이랑 미션 수행 기능도 있어서 나도모르게 끄고 다시 잠드는 것도 막을 수 있어서 좋아요!
사용하다가 궁금한 점을 문의 남겼는데 너무 친절하게 답변해주셔서 더 좋았어요~ 영원히 사용할 어플입니다. 여러분들도 사용해보시고 늦잠없는 삶을 누려보세요 ㅎ👍👍👍 짱짱

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-27, version 4.0.7*

Super grateful for this app just wish it wasn’t so expensive

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2026-08-26*

I’ve been waking up everyday from this app, the tasks are well designed and I love that it checks if you’re awake. Keep up the fantastic work!
