⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 6 of 5 stars..'cause it's over the top! This version just tipped PixAlarm over the scale with it's ability to put your alarm title...with adjustable font size... into a squircle that has user adjustable colors & transparency. Developer also added the ability to search & choose from your Google Photos album, making the choices of images huge! You can also set & repeat future dates. I have a spreadsheet of photo alarms apps...been testing for a few years now, and this one is absolutely #1!

6 out of 5 - I'll take it! 😄 Thrilled that the squircle alarm title (font size, colour, transparency) and Google Photos search landed well - both came straight from your feedback. #1 on a multi-year spreadsheet means a lot. Keep the ideas coming: pix@myinnos.in — Team MyInnos

I think this app has potential. The design is simple which makes it easy to navigate. I like that you can set any picture for an alarm and that alarms can repeat. What I don't like is that the picture doesn't show up on the lockscreen...which is what I figured it would do. If you fix this, I will give this app five stars. Side note: I think a feature to import our own animations/videos would be great. It's definitely more engaging than a still picture.

v3.1.0 is now live! Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We've improved alarm screen display in v3.1.0 — it now shows reliably with your photo. Lock screen display depends on device settings but works on most phones. Video alarms is a great suggestion — noted for a future update! Please update and try it out. Ideas welcome at pix@myinnos.in.

I've been using Pix Alarm since 2018, and it's still my favorite alarm app. I'm updating my review because the app has continued to improve over the years. The developers have consistently added useful features, refined the design, and kept the app reliable. Waking up to my favorite photos never gets old, and the customization options make it stand out from other alarm apps. It's great to see an app that's actively maintained even after all these years. Highly recommended!

Since 2018 - that's longer than most apps survive, let alone get used daily. Thank you for updating your review and for sticking with Pix-Alarm through every rebuild along the way. "Actively maintained" is the thing I most want to be true, so reading it from an eight-year user means a lot. pix@myinnos.in — Team MyInnos
