First, the ability to customize the sound before the time announcement; and second, the ability to plan by the minute, instead of at five minute intervals. For example, I’d like to be able to sound an alarm at 7:15, at 7:20, at 7:25, and at 7:30, but also every minute from 7:31 to 7:40. ### 4/5 — One of Best alarm Apps-small bug in ios7 *2017-07-18* Used to work... until I upgraded to iOS7. There is a bug that prevents alarms from working between 10:00am and 12:55pm. It would appreciate if it could be fixed because this was one of my FAVORITE alarm apps! :-) ### 4/5 — Great and simple ! *2014-12-20* The only drawback is: We need the repeat feature to be day specific instead being "daily" ### 3/5 — No snooze function. *2013-02-04* Please include snooze function in next update. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It was smokey *2017-09-04* I think he was looking for his slightly chard toast. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-11-19, version 1.2* This alarm doesn't do anything. Nothing. You set the time and when that time arrives nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Doesn't talk *2013-09-02, version 1.2* The one feature its disposed to have doesn't exist. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work on iOS 10 *2019-05-07* This was my favorite alarm clock ever and I've not been able to find a similar & simple alarm clock that just simple tells the time twice & shuts up!! With no need to snooze. Can you please fix this app. It doesn't work on my iPad either😕 ### 2/5 — Missing up to date *2016-09-26, version 1.2* This app doesn't work properly with IOS 10 ### 2/5 — Not loud enough *2012-12-16, version 1.1* 🔕🔕 ### 3/5 — Needs update *2018-08-29, version 1.4.1* This app works great but could do with an update like being able to change the background alarm and able to change what the voice says or be able to tell the voice what to say I know this is a lot but I would pay for the if this and more was done ### 3/5 — Still need some work *2018-08-24* This app is just what I’m looking for a morning alarm clock. I hate blaring noisy alarms. Only thing from making me use as my main alarm clock is not being able to select days of the week. The only selection for repeating alarm is Daily. A Weekdays/weekends/ or individual days would be nice. Hope you have an update soon. Keep up the good work. ### 3/5 — Almost what I need *2018-08-24* I got this app so I’ll know the time while I’m lying in bed with my eyes closed, but almost awake. I did not get it to wake me up. This alarm repeats the time three times with annoying alarm sounds in between each. That’s the kind of noise that can wake someone up; overkill for my use. I’d like to lose the alarm sounds and have it say “It is 5 am”, then “it is 5:10 am”, then “it is 5:15 am, last chance for a swim before work.” And I don’t need the message 3 times for every alarm that goes off. Just tell me the time once. ### 3/5 — I like the simplicity, but... *2013-08-01* I really like the simplicity of this app but the only drawback is that there is no snooze feature! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Where has this been hiding!?! *2024-06-05* I’ve needed this for 8 years but have never heard of or seen in any Apple store searches. I like it to remind me of certain times of day like BEDTIME, for example. Thanks 😊 ### 5/5 — Works *2023-01-04, version 1.4.1* Good ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT *2020-04-21* it's clean and simple!!!! - Clint R. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-03-14* This is just what I was looking for. ### 5/5 — It works a treat *2015-10-03, version 1.2* This app is really good - easy to use and it works well. After the infamous iOS9 update the alarm stopped sounding and I thought I'd lost it forever! But I've just amended the settings as it says in the description and now it works a treat. ### 5/5 — It works *2013-01-03, version 1.1* Tells you the time and wakes you up. Only trouble is, i dont like being woken up :-) ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-12-05* This app does what i need thanks so much! Love it!😊😃 ### 5/5 — It's quality make sure your iPhone is on loud! *2012-09-12, version 1.1* Very good!! ### 4/5 — Labels *2021-04-30* Like this app, but wish I could label/ title the individual clock. Thanks ### 4/5 — Happy shopper *2020-03-28, version 1.4.1* Ive been using this app for a couple years now and it was one the first apps I downloaded when I was looking for a timer that would call out the time, and it does exactly that! So convenient for when I’m getting kids ready for school and myself ready for work and I don’t have a second to check my watch for the time. I simple Bluetooth my phone to the speaker so no matter where I am in the house, I will hear it (and possibly my neighbours), set my times and the rest is done! My family is out the door on time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
