It closes as soon as the screen appears. It used to work great! What happened? ### 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? ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-08-20* I have a hard time waking up to just about any alarm these days. Thought about hiring a wake up service but found this app. Love how easy it is to set and how reasonably priced. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-06-04, version 1.3.9* Best way to ensure you wake up ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-06-03* This has helped on days that absolutely require me to be awake at a certain time ### 5/5 — Actually wakes me up *2024-05-11* For some reason alarms don’t wake me up but phone calls do, this app honestly wakes me up ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-05-01, version 1.3.9* Love this app helps makes me have piece of mind with alarms ### 5/5 — Marc *2024-04-08* Simply the best, low price , I’d give it 10 stars haven’t been late once. ### 5/5 — Trust this app! *2024-03-15* My phone alarm not always reliable. Having a second way to wake up gets me to work on time! ### 5/5 — Definitely worth using *2024-03-14, version 1.3.9* Great app I use it a lot ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2024-03-01* I have so much trust in this app. Plus they make it so easy to schedule the call. I’ve been using this app for a full year and I’m very happy!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-01-14, version 1.4.4* What happened? Crashes on my new iPhone darn it! ### 1/5 — Pay Wall *2024-12-16, version 1.3.9* have Limit of times before you must pay for app ### 1/5 — Broken & Taking my Money *2024-11-03* This app use to work great until this past week. I’ve tried to purchase credits and it’s taking my money but hasn’t applied a single phone credit to my account. So far I’ve been charged over four times for 50 call credits. ### 1/5 — No log in button *2024-10-30* The app got deleted from my phone and now it says I can’t schedule a call until I log in, and there’s no log in button on the app that I can find. So all the calls I bought previously are no longer accessible apparently. ### 1/5 — No calls *2023-12-29, version 1.3.9* No calls out of 2 calls requested is not a good look for this app. 🤡 ### 1/5 — App is a scam *2022-10-13, version 1.3.1* Does not call you. Probably just collecting phone numbers to sell. ### 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!!! ### 2/5 — Reliable…, but, *2024-12-05, version 1.3.9* It woke me up on time and the cost for calls is reasonable, but the recorded woman who calls you…, is rude! (((TIME TO WAKE UP!!!))). Then click!! ### 2/5 — Expensive and payments don’t go through *2024-08-29, version 1.3.9* Seems expensive. I also paid for calls and it didn’t give them to me. I really like the idea though. ### 2/5 — No Ads Available *2023-09-26, version 1.3.5* Can’t earn free calls if no ads are available to watch. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-10-08, version 1.4.4* I love this app, works perfectly and is priced well. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Such a practical app🥰 *2025-09-23* Some of us have friends or family in our same timezones, who don't mind making sure we are awake for special events. Then there's the rest of us. This app is very affordable and if you tend to sometimes not hear the 3 alarms that you set for yourself... the app will ring your phone when you schedule it. (Make sure your focus feature is not on & your volume is high) Very pleased with my wakeup calls😊 ### 5/5 — Life Saver! *2025-03-04* I have a frustrating issue with my phone alarm, where it often doesn’t sound nor wake me up. Wake Up Call!! is the perfect solution. I have it set as a favorite. I have a special ring tone that sounds like an old phone and with the right settings it’s never failed me. ### 5/5 — Marc *2025-02-06, version 1.3.9* Simply the best, low price , I’d give it 10 stars haven’t been late once. ### 5/5 — It works *2024-12-13* Alarms don’t wake me up but phone calls do. I set the time and they call me. It does exactly what it says it’ll do. ### 5/5 — Perfect Wake Up/Alarm App *2024-10-29* To the point, easy to use, simple, great prices and it’s the best wake up and/or alarm app on iTunes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
