So Great but Please Update

I absolutely love this app, I can’t wake up without it but could the app developers please update it to work with the iPhone X.
Watch side of things needs work

I just woke up with this app for the first time this morning. As far as my phone goes, it worked as expected. But there is a disconnect between the phone and the watch. At the alarm time my watch vibrates. There is no option to snooze on the watch (there should be) all you can do is dismiss it, in which case it just re-fires the notification immediately. So I pick up my phone and tell it to snooze. Then before the snooze period is expired, I pick up the phone and successfully go through the process (chores) of proving that I’m up. But.. minutes later, (at about the time the alarm would have sounded again) my watch starts going nuts again. Dismiss and it just keeps re-notifying and vibrating at me.
Cool idea, shoddy outcome.

I gave this 2 stars because honestly I love the CARROT weather app. The alarm clock.... Not so much. The limited functionality is my biggest reason for not liking it. Though I’m sure it gets better with future unlocks. The degree in which I can customize my original Apple alarm app for a variable schedule make it way more useful to me. Things like unlocking normal app features such as menu access and fine tuning wake-ups could also probably be re-evaluated. Save your money and use a different alarm clock.
Fix the foreground lock limitation and it’s golden.

I’m sorry, Carrot. I’m just too unreliable and stupid to remember to leave it open in the foreground. Most of the time I fall asleep amusing myself with some match-3 game or watching other meatbags sterilize themselves while trying to do stupid stunts or just staring at the pretty lights on the screen and wishing I knew how magnets worked. Please don’t kill me.
I Love This app but PLEASE make an iPhone X Update.

I know I already ranted about this in a review for the CARROT reminders app but it is WAY more important in this app to update it to use the iPhone X screen size. First of all OLED screens are great for darker blacks but they are much more susceptible to image burns so maybe make the screen a little more animated especially the clock itself and the ocular sensor since the app is required to be open in order to run.In addition, while the majority of the screen does dim when left alone, the bottom white bar that replaces the home button stays nice and bright and gets pretty annoying when I’m trying to make the room as dark as possible. Everything else works fine it’s just that part is really getting annoying to the point that I have to face my phone the other way so I can sleep cause it’s on a charging stand. PS: the only other thing I would like is to play my music then enter the app but when I open the app it stops my music. It doesn’t do this for the CARROT⁵ weather app so maybe can you use the same audio programming for an update of this app? I’d love to also see a few other features from the weather app integrated into the alarm and reminders apps like news, updated responses based on events, and customize ability of the personality including profanity. I’d love to be woken up to her saying Wake up Mother*****r ?? Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
Needs improvement

With the iPhone 8, I charge the phone on a Qi charger. It just makes sense placing the phone on the charger in landscape mode, but this app doesn’t support it. Support for landscape mode would make this app perfect.
Not Ideal For Me

1. You have to unlock every single tiny feature or pay more to unlock them faster. This is very slow unless I assume, you but every single little task you do (even if you complete them immediately) into the app. 2. The app is so slow to open. The app lets you know it’s angry with you when you open it, then let’s you reread it over again, then tap a dozen times, then again, then see all Carrots other apps/store. Now you can add a task. (This is the same on an iPhone X & 8 Plus, I know... Apple Fanboy Problems...) 3. Where’s the personality? The first couple times it’s funny, I prefer the sarcastic remarks. But the AI gets bored with it almost faster than you do. After days of ‘okay’ and ‘hmmm’ responses I question why I use this app over any other. So that’s why after buying the bundle I am keeping the weather app and deleting the rest.
Disappointed

As a huge fan of the Carrot Weather app and the developer’s frequent updates, I decided to ignore the negative reviews and purchase this app. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried it three days in a row, with the sound on, the alarm set, and the app left open, and each day it has flooded me with the same stream of notifications and not made a single sound. Hoping for an update soon...
