About this app

Wake up to the sound of nature with the Woodland Alarm Clock. Rise gently to a Northern Cardinal's cheerful song, the sound of gently falling rain, or a Canadian Loon's otherworldly wail. Or, become wide awake to the punctuated territorial calls of the Pileated Woodpecker.

A woodland scene of your choice slowly brightens, simulating a transition from night to day. Meanwhile the bird song gradually intensifies, bringing you reliably to wakefulness without a startling jolt.

- 45 pictures of beautiful forest scenery
- Check your next alarm at-a-glance with optional Widgets and Notifications

Ratings and reviews

I like the app, but it's way too easy to accidentally create a random alarm that goes off when you don't expect it to. Woke up Saturday morning at 5:27 to one of these accidentally created alarms. Not sure exactly how it got created, but it's happened several times. I suspect it has something to do with the create new alarm button on the same screen as snooze and wake buttons. Pretty annoying.

Love it! I truly wake to this thinking nature is calling me awake and it takes me a minute to realize it's my alarm! It's dependable! It starts low and slowly gets louder and it doesn't jolt me awake (except for the blue Jays! They need to fly south!). The pictures are nice but I don't need them and the ads are tiny. There are no annoying notifications. Thank you for a great app. I've been using it for a while.

Genuinely has a mind of its own. Sometimes it goes off, sometimes it doesn't. I don't think it's capable of handling multiple alarms in one day, and I say this as someone who doesn't use the snooze button. Randomly deactivates the current day or other days on an alarm. Today it created two duplicate alarms for a random time completely unprompted. I've made sure to grant every permission or exception I could and even locked my phone with the app open to no avail. It's nice but too unreliable.
