Screen must be powered on!

The alarm only works if the screen is left on!
That makes it completely useless to me. I’m not wasting all that electricity and burning up the lifetime of my screen while I’m asleep just to have the alarm ring in the morning!

Best alarm app I’ve used

I’ve always been a heavy sleeper, plus I’m partially deaf in my left ear so hearing an alarm the first time was pretty much not happening. I used to have so many alarms set, and I’m not talking about 3-4, I’m talking 20-25 on 2 phones. This app is by far the best alarm I’ve ever come across. As corny and fake this may sound to some people, this app has saved my job more times than I can count. Thank you to whoever thought of and created this!

I would like to ask about one thing though. Could we get a “rain and thunder/stormy night” sleep sound added, please?
