Good Mornings is a smart alarm clock that finds the optimal time to wake you up, keeps track of your sleep quality, and notifies you if you have a sleep debt.
HOW IT WORKS
Every night we go through different phases of sleep - from light to deep. The secret to waking up rested and feeling more energetic and alert upon awakening is to wake up during a period of your lightest sleep.
Good Mornings uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to monitor your movements while you are sleeping and detect which sleep phase you are in based on your body movements.
It creates a 30-minute window before the wakeup time you set and goes off within this window while you're in the lightest phase of sleep so gently that it feels natural to wake up.
In the morning, you also get a nightly record of your sleep in the form of a graph along with the most essential stats.
CORE FUNCTIONALITY:
* Good Mornings keeps track of your sleep phases and wakes you up gently at the perfect time to help you rise and truly shine in the morning.
* Every morning the app provides you with the statistics on your last night’s sleep and easy-to-read sleep graph.
* Aggregates weekly statistics for you. Thus you can track sleep debt, hours slept and quality of your sleep during the week and change your habits to sleep better.
* Gently wakes you up to your favorite music or pleasant alarm tunes.
* Lulls you to sleep at night. The app allows you to create your own playlist with your favorite songs or fall asleep to relaxing sounds.
* Takes care of you. Set your Sleep Goal and Good Mornings app will send you an alert message if it finds out that you get less sleep than you need.
* The app has 3D Touch support for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. Just press Good Mornings icon to quickly access the most frequently used app features. Peek at your sleep stats for any night without having to actually open it with a light press, press a little deeper to Pop into it.
Sleep smarter and better. Wake up smoothly. Change your mornings forever.

Quite awhile ago, I was having trouble with starting the app. That problem, happily, was resolved. In fact, I had forgotten all about it until looking at it today. I use this app without fail. In fact, I’m rather addicted to it. One thing I wish could be an added feature (I stated this one before) is the ability to change the wake up time after having started the app. If a night is going very poorly, I would like at say 3 o’clock in the morning to change my wake up time to say 8 instead of 7. That would be great. As it is now, I have to abort it and go without the stats & alarm. Any chance, team, this could be an added feature? Thank you!
Best $5 I ever spent. Seriously.

Waking up in the mornings used to be painful and usually nauseous. I used the iPhone alarms and they would shock me out of sleep because you can’t fade in, the snooze was too long, and I was always confused on which button to press to either snooze it or turn it off. I love this app. It’s changed the way I sleep and has made my mornings so much easier. It barely feels like I’ve been woken up... it just feels like I’ve been awake the whole time. So refreshing and pleasant. I love waking up in the mornings and not feeling absolutely dead (and the app’s functions itself are so user friendly!!!!). Would HIGHLY recommend.
It started great, but not anymore

I’ve been using this app for a little over a month now. The first couple weeks, it worked great! I could see my sleep patterns and how admittedly terrible they were, and it was good challenge for me to improve. My friend uses this app too, and it was fun to compare our stats. From the outset, I really liked the alarm options, from the different tones available to the variable wakeup window size. I like how in the stats I can see how my sleep was split between light/deep, when I woke up, the time spent in all 3, and the overall quality of my sleep based on those numbers and my set sleep goal. Unfortunately over the last two weeks there’s been dramatic decline in accuracy. I don’t know why, since I haven’t changed anything about my surroundings, but it no longer accurately tracks my sleep cycles. It tells l me I was awake for long periods when I know I wasn’t, deeply asleep when I know I was awake. The alarm clock still worked, but without accurate cycle readings, it’s not helping. Last night in particular was completely wrong, and it’s the last straw. It’s a beautiful app and I liked the features a lot, which is the only reason it gets 2 stars, because I’ll have to look elsewhere.

I would give this a strong five stars if program had more links to various controls on the index page. Other than that this is a good program
Fantastic App, but needs to allow for alarm reset

This is the best of the sleep tracker apps, better than Pillow and SleepScore. Would be perfect if you had the ability to change the alarm after it is initially set.
Needs update

I’ve been using this app for such a long time and love it! However it is VERY delayed when I try to set my alarm clock. Normally, it’s a fast and easy thing to do before falling asleep, but now it just takes some extra time because the app seems frozen at first. It’s more annoying than anything. Edit: I have lots of free space on my device and everything is up to date
Limited music access

Since I don’t use Apple Music, I would love to use my amazon prime or Spotify but either I can’t or they don’t tell you how
Loved it until

Update: this may be an iphone issue. It should override my volume regardless. Appx 2 nights ago, the alarm stopped working. It shows it’s going off but there’s no noise at all. The first night I thought I had forgotten to turn it on, but it just happened again. My volume is up (which never used to matter.). No idea what is wrong.

Downloaded this under the false pretenses that you could choose a playlist to wake up to. What it really means is that you can “load” a playlist into the interface, and choose a single song from it, which it will play 45 seconds of before snoozing itself. The interface moves as a glacial pace, often requiring several taps before responding. And now I’ve gone consecutive nights without any of my sleep data registering- literally the only reason I’m still using this. Add to that the fact that the company is entirely unresponsive to these issues, I don’t feel even slightly confident of these crooks responding to my request for a refund.
