Alarm Clock - Wake up Music Reviews

Great alarm clock app

I’ve been using this app for years and its my go to wake up to music app

I like that you can put your playlist to wake up to and pick the snooze time, however sometimes it won’t sound... I think it’s a quirk because 90% of the time it works fine (can’t have your phone on silent) but sometimes it just doesn’t work.

Closest I could get to...

This alarm clock app is the most similar to Alarm Clock XTreme for Android. Main reasons I chose it is: A. You can wake up to songs from Apple Music. B. You can choose to have the songs "Fade-In, so you awaken slowly. My only major gripe is your set Alarm will NOT sound if the Mute/No Ringer switch is on! The standard Apple Clock app alarms sound either way. There's a reason I keep my phone on Mute/Vibrate, especially early in the morning. Find a way to to override/fix this and my rating will be 5 stars.

Paid version is much better than the free.

Much improved.

It doesn’t work right, but to be fair...

Alright, I’ve used this alarm for about 5 years. So far, it has worked like a champ, and I can’t fault it for that. This being said, I recently got a device running the current iOS, and the alarm I set now doesn’t work. So, my problem (as I understand it) is that the app will not stay open in the background. I can leave the app open, lock the screen, and the next morning when I go to check the alarm it has an alarm notification banner, but upon unlocking my device, the app has shut itself off. Once, when trying to diagnose the problem, I checked it about 5 minutes after locking the screen, and it had shut down in that time. It even still has the appropriate “app file” open, as if I had just shut it down manually, and from past experience, that tells me the app is crashing in the background for some reason. It has only actually gone off exactly once in the last week of messing with it on my current device. Honestly, this review would probably have fewer stars, but I’m a weirdo who doesn’t get rid of outdated devices, so my previous one without the current iOS still works great. Hardly ever had problems with it, and any that crop up are manageable. (It’s literally going off on my old iPod in the background as I write this, I just haven’t shut it off yet because the music is awesome.) Hence, a moderate review. I don’t even know if the issue I’m experiencing on this current device is within your ability to fix, but I hope it is. I feel a certain amount of brand loyalty, because this app has outlived 3 of my other “iDevices”, and I just want it to work as expected for this one, too. Thank you. (And, though this might not exactly be my place, upon reading a few other reviews where the reviewer experienced negative consequences due to the app not working as intended, though you all are absolutely correct that an app should work as advertised, it can’t practically be blamed for all the subsequent trouble it caused, especially more than once (with the possible exception of the review where the alarm crashed the guy’s entire phone until he managed to delete it, that sounds pretty bad; but, to be fair, it also sounds like that problem was patched quickly). Again, I am admittedly strange, but I haven’t set fewer than 3 different alarms on 3 different alarm clocks/devices in years, for precisely this reason. If something, anything goes wrong with one, for any reason, chances are that the other two will still be operational. Just a thought, you know? Also, if anyone who cares is still reading this, in past experience both the internal clock app and this alarm app can be set at the same time. I just have always preferred the functionality of this app over the internal one, hence using it for half a decade.)

Stopped working correctly

I have been using this app to wake up for years. Well, recently it stopped working. This morning, it didn’t sound at all. I happened to wake up and look at my phone. The alarm was on the screen and actually in the process of going off but no sound was coming out. My volume was up and my phone was not on silent. I couldn’t find anything wrong to stop the app from sounding. I was incredibly lucky to wake up by chance or else I’d have been late to work.

Good app!

Would rate higher if it would go back to the version where it didn’t go to sleep. I used it as an alarm clock. Now, it goes to sleep and my phone locks. I have to get through too many steps to silence it. Forget about using the snooze feature....at that point everyone in the house would be awake. Fix this for five stars!

Background

I’ll give it a 5 star and downloaded when I’m able to add my personal background! That’s the only option missing! This is a great app but I’d like to have the option to choose my own personal background.

Love this app

Wish I could use my own pictures as background...other than that, I love this app!!
