Ratings and reviews

Like all things Google where the UX weenies have been let loose on production code, the new update does away with all forms of contrast, labels and iconography that may make it possible to know what you're doing. Good luck if the alarm's going off in the morning and you don't have your glasses on yet! Which way do you swipe the alarm? Who knows this week! Guess you'll find out in 10 minutes time! Good luck trying to clean out all your accumulated alarms 2 years later, "delete all" isn't a thing!

The new update seems to require a lot more clicks to save and enable an alarm. The old version did that automatically - set a time and say okay, and it's enabled. Since the update, I have noticed more than once that an alarm either didn't save or didn't enable when I thought it would. I'm lucky I haven't missed anything. Also, changing the sliders to buttons is a huge miss. I don't mind a UI update, but they've changed too much about how it functions.

My phone stopped showing alarms on the lock screen and the notifications drop down, so in the morning I would have to unlock my phone, go open the app, and then I could snooze or dismiss my alarms. I bought a whole new phone because this function is pretty important. Still doesn't work on the new phone. I have uninstalled and got a 3rd party clock because the Google one regularly stops working. I found this has been an on and off issue for years when they do updates, but this has been the worst.
