Ratings and reviews

It's a great idea, but the app alarms only came up for a few days. Then it stopped working. I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried again, but the problem kept happening. So, I won't be installing again.

Mobile screen didn't getting on itself, only sound came and then I have to unlock the phone and thereby search for alarm in notification bar. This is really annoying.

Picture doesn't automatically come up when alarm goes off. Have to open phone open app and select view alarm. Makes it kinda pointless. Deleted app
