Ratings and reviews

Great app for music selection. Works really well. BUT...when the first snooze is activated, then the android VOLUME AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. I do not hear any messages or texts after that. I am unaware it was SHUT off and end up missing any messages. It is very frustrating. Please advise.

I used AlarmDroid for many years but with Pie I cannot flip to dismiss while the phone is locked and that's a must have feature for me. PocketBell does a lot more than I need and that's okay. I don't need music or WiFi or Bluetooth. I do need a clean interface that's easy to configure. I think the preferences could be laid out a little better. Maybe I was spoiled with AlarmDroid but this doesn't seem as intuitive. Also, if I could get rid of the blue highlights or at least have the option to change them I'd be stoked. It's kind of a sickly blue. Aside from these small complaints it works pretty darn well.

Worked...then stopped. The app used to work well but doesn't with my Galaxy S10 (a recent upgrade from an S6). I set my alarm to a radio station; sometimes it streams, sometimess it doesn't. When it doesn't, even the backup alarm doesn't function. I set the time to infinite, but always turns off after 1 hour of radio streaming; sometimes after less than 30 minutes. I see that it hasn't been updated since May 2017, so maybe it's not as functional with newer model smartphones.
