About this app

Light Alarm Clock will wake you up gently in the most natural way with light and sound.

Features:
- One-time and repeated alarms
- Main alarm sound
- Vibration during main alarm sound
- Pre-alarm sound, that starts before main alarm sound and plays music with increasing volume
- Screen light with increasing brightness. You can choose color of light or set an image instead of color.
- LED camera light
- You can choose multiple tracks for alarm sounds, every time the alarm starts, next track will be played.
- A few options for dismiss/snooze functionality
- Next alarm time widget

All parameters of an alarm can be turned on/off and tuned to suit your needs.

How the application works:

Time that you set for every alarm is the time at which main alarm sound starts. Vibration also starts at this time, if corresponding option is set.

For "pre-alarm sound", "screen light" and "flash light" you specify time intervals, that mean that this action starts N minutes (specified interval) before main alarm time. For example, if alarm is set for 8:00 and screen light is enabled with interval set to 30 minutes, than screen light starts at 7:30 and main alarm begins to play at 8:00.

If battery level is lower than specified in the app's settings, then pre-alarm sound and screen light won't be turned on until main alarm time. You can disable this behaviour in the settings.

Ratings and reviews

[Edit: currently seeing an Adscend adbar at the bottom. After using this for 2 years without ads, I'm not a fan of potential spyware via Adscend.] This app works great as a poor man's sunrise alarm. You have the option to change or remove any feature you want. Very customizable & versatile. You're not going to have the bright screen upon Snooze because that defeats the purpose. You're supposed to train yourself to wake up to light.

Does what I wanted/expected, and it was the only app that did of several that I tried. I wish you could set the duration/timeout to less than 5 min though. I use it to remind myself to go to bed if I'm up too late on my phone. If I'm already asleep (notifications are to easy to ignore), I don't want an alarm or anything going off so this works great. It takes over the whole screen and you have to actively dismiss it.

It works, it woke me up so gently the first time I used it and I was very satisfied. The problem came when I hit snooze when the sound alarm went off, the light turned off as well. I only wanted to snooze the sound and keep the light on but that wasn't possible. I was also disappointed to not have an option to only have the light alarm without any sound. Besides that, it took up space in my notifications bar just stating that there was an alarm set, and I couldn't dismiss it.

What's new
