## What is Wake Up Call?

A simple way to schedule wake up calls!  Schedule a wake up call for any occasion.

Simply select a day and time, and optionally enter a custom transcript for the call, then schedule the wake up call! You will receive a wake up call at the specified time so you can get up and start your day!

If you are tired of annoying or jarring alarms, this is the app for you! With this Wake Up Call app, you can wake up to your phone's ringtone, whether that's a default ringtone or your favorite song or peaceful nature sound.

After scheduling a wake up call, head on over to the "Scheduled Calls" page. Here you can view all of your currently scheduled calls. If you change your mind about a call, it can be easily deleted on this page.

You get a few free wakeup calls when you download the app and you can purchase more in-app as needed. We charge (a low price) for each call because we have to pay phone carriers to place the calls.

### 5/5 — Perfect tool

*2026-04-16, version 1.4.4*

Easy to use, exactly what I need!

### 5/5 — Great price, great wake-up tool

*2026-04-06*

I love this app. Seemed shady at first, but I got over it and decided to put my phone number in it. Let me say that you do have to pay but it's VERY minimal. The value is great and you have the option to leave a little voice message to speak to you when you pick up. For me, I have an old push dial phone with really loud bells (bluetoothed to my iPhone) and it works surprisingly well. I would recommend this to anyone that falls asleep heavy and is a pain to wake up, such as myself.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-05*

I’ve been using it almost 3  years now and I love it. Never misses a call. Thank you for all the hard work!

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2026-03-21, version 1.4.4*

Was much better when you could watch ads for free calls

### 3/5 — Won’t stay open

*2026-03-10*

I love the app but for some reason it won’t stay open. It closes as soon as the screen appears.  It used to work great!  What happened?

### 5/5 — Simple to use, very affordable

*2026-02-08*

Excellent app to help wake you up when you have important events you can’t miss!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-01-14, version 1.4.4*

What happened? Crashes on my new iPhone darn it!

### 3/5 — Not happy

*2025-11-16, version 1.4.4*

This app used to offer free credits by watching ads. Why did you stop that offer?

### 2/5 — Call cost and false advertising

*2025-10-22, version 1.4.4*

The call cost money after a brief trial which the description says can be curbed with watching ads, however this is no longer an option. The app also states that calls cost $1 in images but realistically cost closer to $3. The voice is really grading and the app interface often opens to safari if you click the wrong button. Truely not worth it!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-10-08, version 1.4.4*

I love this app, works perfectly and is priced well.  Highly recommended.
