Ratings and reviews

I wanted to love this app. It's great looking and easy to use. However, apparently my phone needs to be unlocked to scan the tag. This doesn't work for my needs. It lost a star for that. The second star was lost because you can't edit/delete a snoozed alarm or dismiss it with a tag. The only thing you can do when your phone is locked is snooze the alarm or back out of the screen, unlock your phone, open the app again, then scan the tag to dismiss it. All while the alarm is going off.

I appreciate the care and effort put into this app, plus the fact that it does not collect any data whatsoever and doesn't show you any ads either. There is a lot of options to personalize your alarms, and if I were to suggest anything would be to have an option for a "NFC scan track" where I have to scan X amount of tags (random or in order) before the alarm can be dismissed. Also an option to show the delete and copy buttons. Took me a minute to find out I have to swipe lol ..

Thanks for letting me know about the Dismiss Early option. Unfortunately, it's not working. What option should I select if I want to skip the alarm the following day? Update 10/27: Hi Gabe, I tried following those steps before but it didn't work and the alarm went off anyway. Turning it off works if the user remembers to turn it back on, but sometimes I forget. The main app I use has a "skip next" option where it resets to "on" automatically.
