## What is Traffic Light Wake Up Alarm & Timer?

Does this sound like a typical morning in your family? 
4:30AM...
Child: "Mommmmmmmy!....Daddddddddy!...." 
Parent: "What's wrong?" 
Child: "Is it time to get up?" 
Parent: "No!, go back to sleep!" 

If I had a penny for each time my sons would call me into their room to ask if they can wake up, I could buy a few cups of coffee! Thus, out of the need for uninterrupted sleep, the Traffic Light Wake Up Alarm & Timer was born. Now, my wife and I get more restful sleep, and so can you!

How does it work? Simply adjust the time for the Green Light to turn on, and you're all set! The light will stay Red, letting your child know they need to stay in bed! 

And, for only US $0.99, you can upgrade within the app to have the ability to set the Yellow Light! The Yellow Light can turn on 30, 15 or 10 minutes prior to the Green Light time, letting your little ones know it's almost time to get up! And, by design, when the Green Light comes on, no alarm or sound will trigger, so if your little one needs more sleep, they will get it!

The benefits of the Traffic Light Alarm are endless!
- Nap time
- Time-outs :(
- Play time
- Lunch / Snack / Dinner time
- Homework / Study time

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work half the time

*2023-08-11, version 1.0*

Works some days but not others. Drains battery so have to keep plugged in all night. Will be finding a new app.

### 1/5 — Nothing to do on this app

*2022-06-15, version 1.0*

All you can just do is set when green light turns on and you can’t do anything for yellow unless you are VIP. Totally useless. Don’t download. It’s so boring.

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2021-11-23, version 1.0*

The red light stays on and doesn’t change. I set the light to change at 7:30am and my little angels were still in their room at 8:00am waiting for the light green light!

### 1/5 — Another sucky app

*2020-10-11, version 1.0*

I just wanted to be able to count down to a second.

### 2/5 — Weird

*2020-05-16, version 1.0*

Doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Traffic Light Green

*2020-04-16*

Traffic Light Green

### 2/5 — Nice idea

*2019-05-31, version 1.0*

We were staying with friends and forgot to pack our kids alarm clock. I decided to download this app instead as it appeared to be perfect for our requirements. I’m not actually sure that it worked, but the children stayed in bed until an acceptable time! 
It’s a great idea, but needs a little fine tuning I feel

### 1/5 — Dumb App!!!!!!!

*2018-08-26, version 1.0*

The app does not let you set the yellow light. My kids hate that they can’t do that!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻😾😾😾😾😡🤬😠🤬😡🤬😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬😠😡🤬👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💨🤢🤮☠️ evil money makers

### 1/5 — Bought the upgraded version and disappointed

*2018-07-31, version 1.0*

I don’t write reviews unless I am passionately for or against something.

One star because I thought this was the answer to all my toddler’s dreams of knowing when to wake in the morning!

There is no way to set how long the light stays green. You set the time when it turns red, which is easy to do. Then it says “Yellow light trigger” when to display yellow light: for either ten, 15, or 30 minutes. What does that even mean? No option to set when it is green. 

Completely useless. Waste of time and upgrade charge. I feel robbed.

### 1/5 — Don't download

*2017-08-22, version 1.0*

You can't even use it unless you purchase.
