Ratings and reviews

I am very pleased with Gentle Wakeup so far. Although I have not explored all the options, I find it useful especially because I have fibromyalgia, which can disrupt circadian rhythms. It is an easier way to push good sleep hygiene. I recommend it. Update: still using it every day. Highly recommend. Happy birthday to the developer!

So many great ideas, such terrible execution. I wasted $12.00 removing ads and getting access to more sound choices. But the sound function is totally unreliable. Even when the alarm is set for sound and no light, the only thing that comes on is the light, sometimes pulsing. I'm going to keep it - the place where I spend time in the summer has very little ambient light in the bedroom, so the light is useful, but I need to find something else if I really need to get up.

This is a beautiful thing, well made, and with honest efforts to make it easy to understand how to use it. My device manufacturer has nerfed the settings I can control :( It's times like these that I contemplate rooting my phone. 1/14 Edit: I have switched my phone nightly auto reset to a weekly power off [I believe it's just sound phone maintenance] and so, THIS APP NOW WORKS!
