CARROT Alarm - Talking Alarm Clock Reviews

iOS 12 changed Carrot’s Voice

Midwestro

I have been faithfully using Carrot as my alarm clock for years. My wife hates it, but the fear of her wrath gets me out of the bed in record time, and the small manual tasks are just enough to break through my morning fog. Simply put, it works for me. With the addition of iOS 12, though, everything went pear-shaped. Once upon a time, Carrot’s voice was the perfect combination of snide and commanding. Then, changes in iOS forced her to use the standard Siri voice (disappointing but tolerable). Now, iOS 12 has changed “her” voice into this strange, male, robotic thing that pales in comparison to the Carrot of old. Dear developer, please address this! Should Carrot “get her groove back,” I would be happy to change my rating back to the five stars this app usually deserves.

Fail

Listen to your mama

Too many flaws. Great idea with poor execution. There are better alarm apps. Consider yourself warned

I love my alarm

I have been using this alarm for the past 3 years and I have never had anything but good things to say about it. Until this morning when the voice was different. Why dose Carrot sound like a man now?

Annoying voice, that makes life a little fun

Problems with the voice.

I’m not sure what happened but I’ve noticed that the voice changed from the traditional voice, and now it’s sounds like Stephen Hawking. No offense to Stephen, but I liked the other voice better.

App broken

This app is largely broken after the iOS update. Not only is the wonderful voice gone and replaced by Stephen Hawking (no offense, but liked the female voice better) but I can’t get the app to work right anymore. It used to be that after I locked the screen for the night the phone would ring the “good” wake up call and I’d be able to unlock the screen and play the games to make Carrot happy. Now my alarm doesn’t even ring until a minute or two after my alarm time and it’s only the mean alarm. When I pick up my phone there’s 20+ notifications on the screen, but it didn’t make a peep until mean Carrot came out. Today instead of locking my screen I left it on all night. I wanted to see if that would make a difference and it did! The “good” Carrot actually woke me up, but when I reached for my phone to pick it up, simply lifting it was enough to trigger the snooze setting. That’s not what I wanted to do. I wanted to play the games with good Carrot and be done, but once again I got mean Carrot. I love this app but as it is now I don’t think it’s acting as intended. I’m hopeful that they fix these issues, but until they do I’ll be looking for a new alarm app.

Great App

I have always had a hard time waking up in the morning because most alarms couldn’t fully wake me up. This is one of the only alarms I have ever had that actually fully wakes me up in the morning.

Good app but

Can you guys please add support for Siri shortcuts?

Only a snooze or wake up button

I used this for one night and it never required me to shake, pinch, or do anything special to try and wake up. It only gave me a “snooze” or “wake up” option. To which, of course, I snoozed :) Not sure if there is anything I need to do within the app to make sure it’s more interactive?
