Beware! This app wakes you at 5am no matter the setting!

I love the sounds of birds and it was a very pleasant way to wake up ... for a few days, maybe even a couple of weeks. The problem is, it trains your brain to wake to the sounds of the dawn chorus, which in real life happens at around 5am (or earlier) every day. If you want to start waking up at 5am to the sounds of every robin, warbler and other feathered Pavarotti in your neighborhood, great! Personally I find it frustrating to miss out on my last precious hour of sleep every day and I wish I’d never started using this app.

I am sad...

I really really wanted this, and thought I’d love it. It was featured in the app store today! But as other reviews say, it won’t work in do not disturb mode. 5 stars for the concept, 1 star or fewer for realization of concept. Perhaps it will work if I set my phone to never fall asleep, but that is wasteful of resources, which should not be the description of a bird lover. So...I will play with it while awake, but am stuck with my phone’s native alarm. Shame on you Apple for showcasing a basically non-functional app.

My dogs loved this

These bird noises woke my dogs up from a deep slumber all right! Lol

Birdsong is so beautiful! Let app work with Lockscreen.

I stumbled upon this app while setting up my new iPhone 8 Plus (I briefly forgot my Apple ID so logged in to the App Store to get it and saw this beauty.) Instantly downloaded it and was super impressed with how pretty the app is as well as the clarity of the songs from the birds. Unfortunately I will not be able to use this app until it integrates a little better with the lock screen. Light pollution is not my friend nor anyone’s really! Please please develop this app further more and give it some meat to go with the potatoes, I would rather wake to the sounds of nature than another alarm and just like nature we need total darkness apart from the night sky. Amazing work so far! Keep going, keep developing! I’m only giving the 2 star in hopes you see this and change the need for lock to be on. Otherwise I would say you’re sitting at a 3.5 Star. The small tweaks would make me a raving fan.

3 star review

I liked the bird tweets and the fact that that wakes you,but I tried turning of my phone,to see if the alarm was the same as it turned on and on the app.It sent me a notification and all it was,was 2 tweets,that I could barely hear.

Missing some functionality

I really enjoy waking up to this instead of a jarring buzz. But I’m really missing the recurring alarm function, as well as being able to snooze or turn it off without opening the app. Lastly I’d love to be able to leave my phone on silent and use this app.

Beautiful sounds but needs work and updates (sounds and UI)

Love waking up in The morning to hear beautiful sounds of birds but I feel like the user interface could use some updates to make it easier to use. Also, I wish that they will add additional birds to the existing collection.

Great idea, poor execution

Best part of this app is putting bird songs together. You can choose and select. However there are many problems with application. Cannot silence your phone at night because the alarm will not turn on. Even with directions for silenced phone, developer has you plug phone in, leave app open, and unlocked it does not work. The alarm only turns on when you have the app opened on an unlocked phone. Please find a way to update the app to work like other alarms!

Great app

It is a great app but it needs an update.

Why did you change it??? It worked great!

54$

With the latest update on IOS it no longer works with a Locked Screen! I used this for months and loved it! Now it doesn't work....
