Ratings and reviews

Default Setup Needs Fixing. If say you connect your phone to a Bluetooth device like headphones the alarm can only be heard on the headphones and not the phone itself. This is bad because sometimes you pull out the headphones while sleeping. With other apps the phone itself will always sound off whether it's connected to to something or not. Probably a way to change this but it should be on by default. Otherwise a nice alarm app. Better design than the default Google alarm on my Moto G.

Great alarm clock with loads of features but unfortunately I can just turn it off as I have access to the home screen, so I can just press on the 'active in the background' button and close which then turns the app to sleep. I think there should be a screen which stops you from doing that. Other than that it would be a 5 star review.

Excellent Alarm. Open source, works perfectly and it's really helped me a lot. No misfires has ever happened to me so far which is less than I can say for other alarms I've tried on the market. Kudos to the developer. Edit: it's 2023 at the time of writing this. I installed the app in 2021, and still haven't had to suffer a single misfire. Still perfect!

What's new

• Added feature to save and select NFC tags. This way, if there is another alarm you want to enable the same NFC tag for, you can easily select it.

• Added Settings > Manage NFC tags so that you can rename or delete saved NFC tags. This is only visible if you have saved NFC tags.

• Updated the new alarm screen so that swiping to snooze or dismiss is a lot easier.

• Fixed a crash when stopping an alarm.
