Ratings and reviews

THIS is the Best Alarm!! sudden loud alarms startled me awake,... which just kinda sets a grumpy tone for the day... whereas this app, it is AWESOME! starting quietly & softly, it has many sounds to choose from, but also has a slowly growing light, (Which can get very bright) it is a slow, soothing, yet effective alarm.. working MUCH better than "normal" alarms. highly suggest!

I like this app for the ability to wake up gradually. Waking can be pleasant and peaceful rather than abrupt and jarring; this also makes the wakeup process more complete, less chance of sleeping again. Skip and +/-5min features are extremely helpful! alarm tones are natural sounds, not "weird" or harsh tones. I got sick of birds cause it's too repetitive, but grandfather clock is the best - a ticking clock with chimes when alarm time is reached.

I really like this app, but there is one thing that would make it so much easier to use. Instead of sending a notification of the alarm when the phone is in use, please just have the alarm itself appear! I have to set several alarm reminders for my medications (I love this alarm for the color change visuals), so being able to just press one button during inconvenient times instead of fumbling around with the notification would prevent much frustration. Thank you!
