Ratings and reviews

A bit confusing but not too bad. The alarm is incredibly customizable and gives me control over every aspect of waking me up. Biggest annoyance is that once I have stopped the alarm, my phone's adaptive screen brightness is still turned off, and no matter what I do, this app will force my screen to go 100% brightness until I manually shut down the app, then go to settings and turn the adaptive brightness back on. Please fix this and I'll give it 5 stars.

Update: over two years and counting, still my favorite alarm solution....Configurable timing for start of sunrise prior to your wake time (where it is on full) and the start of audio alarm. The end result is having something I tailored to YOU and what works best for you waking up. Without being abruptly jolted out of slumber, but having a golden glow meet your eyes and you wake up more gently, imo. its awesome.

I bought the pro app entirely for the ability to start another app after my alarm, but most of my apps weren't even available when I opened that feature, and the few that were available were things like Settings and Phone instead of anything I might actually want to use first thing in the morning. I tried checking their troubleshooting page for a workaround, but there was almost no content there and what is there is all but unreadable on my phone's browser.
