Decent alarm until phone battery kept dying
Naomi ^_^
I used this alarm for a few months and it was very effective at getting me out of bed. However, I noticed if the app went into background mode, whether it be after I had deactivated the alarm already or I had just set it and went to bed, it drained my battery until it died. This is problematic because than I don’t get up on time.
App told me to write my funeral speech! Sick!

Disgusting! Woke me up with several notifications one right after the other as soon as the first alarm went off telling me to write my funeral speech?! Wth! How sick! It should have shown me the uplifting alarm title I’d typed in, not whatever sick tips they wrote up. I can not wake up being reminded of death in the morning!
Doesn't Work

I'm very frustrated trying to find an alarm where I can set multiple alarms (preferably where I can choose my own songs) during the day where the app forces me to do "something" rather than just tap to turn it off. I do that without even realizing it. There's a lot of "wake up" alarms but I need more than that. Had this app had worked, it would have been perfect. But: #1 Background alarm crashes multiple times a day. #2 Music alarms don't work. I'm glad I tried it before paying for it. Deleting it now.
PLEASE Disable Plan B! It nulls and voids the entire app!

Pro Version / Paid app user here. It is the simplest and easiest thing to execute plan B to turn off the alarm. This negates the app’s entire purpose and functionality- rendering it useless and pointless. Please fix!
Worst alarm ever as it fails more than it works.

Despite updating the app and my phone and even un-installing/re-installing, this app continues to give me “crash” reports. There have been several times in which it fails to go off. Then in the morning when I open the app to see what the issue was, then it decides to go off in that exact moment (which is several hours past the time the alarm is set for) so I make sure I check it every morning, otherwise if I forget to do so before I leave, whenever it randomly sounds then, I’d have no way to turn the alarms off because I wouldn’t have the barcoded item with me to scan. Which left me with absolutely NO option but to have to turn (and leave) my phone completely off as that was the only way to “disable” the constant alarm noise on my phone. (Unlike my other app, if the alarm got missed, it would still show it is set but it lets me turn it off without triggering it to ala first). Obviously turning my phone off was inconvenient and aggravating because it meant missing calls too and not being able to use other apps. As if this wasn’t enough frustration, the app crashed again last night and apparently over rode everything else on my phone again as my other alarm clock app didn’t sound either but the most aggravating was that this app somehow turned my phone completely off!! Making me oversleep by a few hours and missed taking a critical medication at the correct time.
Wish it worked correctly

I’ve downloaded this app at two different points in time now. The reason being that it does help me to get up in the AM. However, I receive AT LEAST hourly notifications throughout the day that the app has crashed and isn’t working correctly. In the mornings, due to it crashing, it doesn’t go off properly. It does the background mode or whatever where it’s a much lighter ringtone or sometimes it doesn’t go off at all. Yesterday it randomly went off at the wrong time after failing to go off in the morning. So, if it worked correctly it’s be great. I’m just going to give up on this one though and find a different app with this capability.
Good Idea, Poorly Executed

I downloaded this alarm to force myself to get out of bed in the morning as opposed to hitting snooze. It’s a decent idea but the app scanner takes a while to focus. The biggest flaw is that the app runs in the background constantly and uses and inordinate amount of battery. There is NO innocent reason this app should be doing this. First day and it’s been running for 8hrs 50min (I was asleep for 7hrs and set the alarm right before...). It’s used 20% of my overall battery usage for the day - more than Outlook or Facebook. Unacceptable. I’m deleting it now.
Doesn’t work consistently

I love this idea, and it’s worked a couple times. But many of the times my alarm didn’t go off until I woke up normally and picked up my phone. I’ve checked it and reset it a bunch of times and it still won’t do it.
