This app uses the Device Administrator permission - activating application as Device Administrator will prevent you (the user) from quickly force stopping or uninstalling application as a way of skipping alarm (our morning selves sometimes just don't want to wake up). It is also required to enable Quit Block feature. Device Administrator is enabled only after user decides to do it at app's Quit Block settings screen. It can be easily disabled from there as well. Quit Block instruction (available at screen mentioned above) explains in detail how it works and why it needs Device Administrator.

Ratings and reviews

Love this alarm clock app! 100% success rate in getting me out of bed so far (better than anything else I've tried up to this point). I do wish there was some more variety in the tasks, though. It does get a bit boring repeating the same things every morning (and I do have it set up for a random variety of 5 different tasks every morning, but it gets repetitive fast). This alarm app works great, but consider adding even more tasks types (and providing more variety within the current task types).

I'm a fan of the app itself, the alarm functions and customizability are unrivaled. It works better for me than the "smart" alarms that try to wake you up during a lighter sleep phase. My only gripe and reason for docking a star is the paid version does not migrate alarms and settings from the free version. I had to reconfigure everything again after paying to remove ads.

I really liked the free version, so I paid to support the author... worth it. There's a variety of puzzles available, and the order to complete them is customizable (mine's set to random). Tasks include math, memory, matching, typing and more, all with different levels of difficulty to choose from (except 1 where the phone needs to be shaken). The volume/ brightness can be set to increase over time. I can also have another app start when finished.
