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.

- 25 alarm tones of birdsongs and other nature sounds, some loud, some soft
- 45 pictures of beautiful forest scenery
- Check your next alarm at-a-glance with optional Widgets and Notifications
- Wake-up light alarm simulates the morning sunrise

Dozens of bird songs and backgrounds are included, but if you want, you can choose music and pictures from your own media library.

- Learn to identify common birds by song
- Experience the sights and sounds of nature when you're stuck indoors
- Cats and dogs love it!

All photographs were taken by the author, and most are taken in Minnesota parks.

Ratings and reviews

edit. this alarm has woken me up during the middle of the night three times now. uses the name of alarms I've set with different sounds, at completely random times. will not dismiss the alarms. today it's been going off every minute since 1:26 am. disabled the alarms I've set and now it just pops up in my notifications every minute. I'm so disappointed. was my favorite alarm. uninstalling.

I've used this for a couple of years now, and really like it *except* I would really like a "close" option. When the alarm goes off and I hit "dismiss" (or, more realistically, snooze > snooze > dismiss), I'd like to be able to close the app from within it, rather than having to go to my open apps list. Lazy, perhaps, but some social media apps refresh if you go to the list of open apps, which is frustrating if I'm in the middle of reading something when my alarm goes off.

Pros, Love the birds, great sound. Cons, The operation to turn off the alarm requires two button pushes, in two different areas. Basically, it 'asks' you if you want to wake up, only then can you turn off the alarm. The snooze is even worse. The controls are totally ludicrous, especially in the early morning. All it needs is a single button tap to turn off the alarm, or snooze. Get that and I would give it 5 stars.
