You Love It, You Hate It!
I chronically have had a hard time waking up in the morning. I always had 6 alarms set that I would snooze, turn off or sleep through. Unbed has changed that for me. I have been getting up on time and getting to worn 15 minutes early. So glad I purchased this alarm.
The longer I have used Unbed, the more frustrating it has become
I regret spending $40 on the Unbed block. The app is almost completely unusable and very frustrating to navigate. I wish this “just worked”. App refuses to open on the first try almost every time. Alarms don’t always ring. No screen comes up when the alarm does ring, so you have to manually open the app to scan the block and shut it off. Trouble saving and setting alarms reliably - the save button just does not work at all most of the time, and I have to close and reopen the app several times, every time. There is some “software gore” going on and pressing a button sometimes presses other buttons. When it works, it works, except for when I go straight back to bed. Or lay on my phone to dampen the sound. Lol. Set backup alarms. Or better yet, find a solution that is not this disappointing app. I am curious about “Lasso alarm”.

Battery Issues
Does what it claims to, but it’s a massive battery drain. I’m on the latest iOS.
Works like a charm
As a chronic snoozer, I have been delightfully surprised by the power of Unbed! I have been up at 5am with more time to read, exercise, and eat a solid breakfast. All things I wasn’t able to do by snoozing
Non response
I have tried contacting support several times to request new codes and have had no response. I also tried to contact and inform about a bug. I find this poor. Other than this I would have given 5
Beware of Alarm Deletion
The app works well to get me out of bed. However, twice without warning within the past 9 months, the app deleted all of my alarms in the middle of the workweek. How can I rely on an alarm system that randomly deletes my alarms?
Changed my life!
I was the person that everybody knew was not getting out of bed until 20 minutes before she had to leave. With Unbed I could you not I’ve gotten it down to 6:30 AM every morning from 11 to sometimes 12 AM if I was off. Game changer! life changer! Works exactly as advertised. Customer service is awesome as well!

Can’t thank this product enough
I was able to watch the most beautiful sunrise ever at 4 am because of this product. If you want to live your life to the fullest, you need this.
Almost Perfect
I have had a sleep disorder for about 10 years now where I have trouble waking up. I have tried SO many alarms and I think this is a winner. The only downside is there are a couple of workarounds. For one, you can just shut down the phone. I wish there was a way to enable a password or something to stop a hard shut off, but Apple does not have that anymore. The second is uninstalling the app. Now I have found a way around this. My lovely sister set a screen time password that doesn’t let me uninstall the app; however, I can’t uninstall any apps now, but that is a minor issue. Overall, I love it. I rave about it and I have been able to get up and do a 2-3 mile walk on most days, but on the hard days, I simply just shut down my phone. On a second note. I would love the ability to customize more. Change colors. More sounds. The ability to play sleep sounds on a timer. Minor things but I still like this app!

Response from developer
Hi there, thank you so much for this review! Getting up for a 2-3 mile walk most days after 10 years of struggling is incredible to hear. Really glad Unbed has been helping. On the hard shutdown bypass, you're right that it's a device level limitation we can't fully prevent. The Screen Time password workaround your sister set up is actually a really clever solution! We've also noted your feedback on customization, more sounds, colors and sleep timers are great suggestions and we'll pass them along to the team. Really appreciate your support and the kind words! ❤
App is almost unusably glitchy
I wish this “just worked”. App refuses to open on the first try almost every time. Alarms don’t always ring. No screen comes up when the alarm does ring, so you have to manually open the app to scan the block and shut it off. Trouble saving and setting alarms reliably.

Finally!!!
This works! No more snooze from someone that would snooze an hour every day.
Love/hate relationship!
I have ADHD and have struggled for years to get out of bed in the morning, spending time scrolling and snoozing and inevitably starting my day in a panic. I have tried multiple alarm clocks and even putting one in another room but nothing worked. I was a bit sceptical when I saw this but thought it was worth a try - genius! It’s brutal and so far incredibly effective. I put the block downstairs on my fridge and by the time I have got to it, I’m awake and have no intention to go back to bed!

Not a gimmick!
I bet a lot of people thought: what a gimmick but it’s genuinely made a positive difference to my mornings. So simple but so powerful!
Low quality materials
I like the idea of unbed! But the NFC tag they sent has only scanned once in the many times I’ve tried. They told me to take off the case and scan near my phone’s camera. Didn’t help! Now I can’t turn off my alarms. Also who wants to take off their phone case to turn off their alarm each morning?
Just what I needed!
I am the world’s worst getting out of bed most days I wake up, but I just lay there. It’s peaceful. I don’t want to face the world yet. Unbed makes me get up, once I’m up. I stay up definitely makes my mornings more peaceful. Love it!
You can just close the app to turn the alarm off
You can just close the app to turn the alarm off, so it doesn’t really work. Great idea, but not foolproof.
Does what it says on the tin.
Simple idea. NFC device you can keep down stairs/away from the bed that you need to scan to silence alarm. Works well.
Glitchy
Very glitchy app. Their tech support was only moderately helpful. Great idea but awful execution.
Total game changer
It’s truly as simple and as helpful as it seems. It’s loud enough to wake me up, and after the first couple days I had already “trained” myself to get out of bed immediately to scan it and turn off the alarm. Doesn’t bother my wife, and she is thankful because I don’t have 5-6 alarms all going off each morning now! This sounds like a paid review but truly it is not. I’m just stoked that I have my mornings back again.

Blown away by the app itself
I kept getting ads for the unbed block and knew it was something that was absolutely necessary for me. The thing about it that really got me was the cleanliness and functionality of the app itself. The developers are absolutely doing amazing work at keeping a neat, clean, functional and bug-less experience. I trust it to be set when I set it and go off when I need it. I’m at work on time every day without fail and might even wake up earlier to get more out of my day.
