Rise Alarm Clock Reviews

Worst update ever

jmcmunn

This was a five star app....now it is one. I miss alarms all the time now because they don’t ring even when the app is in the foreground. It crashes when I open it and try to snooze. The only thing I can say that’s good is that it is horrible consistently. Congrats on ruining a great app, I’m stuck using the default iOS alarm until I find a replacement.

It works

But I can’t understand why they would make it so the volume control buttons on the iphone8 change the alarm volume. It didn’t do this on my iPhone 6. Now I have to remember to reset alarm volume every night. Annoying!

Bad

Ever since the latest updates this alarm does not work. It won’t go off. When I try to set the alarm tone to a song from my phone is freezes. I have to close the app down completely before it changes. Horrible. Luckily I have a back up alarm that plugs into the wall, but still... this used to be my go to alarm app. The only one that actually woke me up!!! Now it’s just letting me down every morning when it either refuses to go off or goes off and there’s no sound to the alarm. Just odd. Bring back the old Rise app that worked! :(

Doesn’t work.

Setting your alarm should be easy right? I purchased this last night, set the alarm and settings and woke up an hour late. No alarm. Needless to say, either I didn’t set it right or it doesn’t work. Either way, it’s an alarm. It should be simple and failsafe.

Updated Review: Unreliable and Now Deleted

I used to love this app, but it has become increasingly unreliable over the past year or two. Sometimes the wake up system would work correctly, other times it would not. Sometimes my iPhone would only vibrate, even though all settings and controls had been double checked to allow full volume. Sometimes nothing would happen - no sounds, no vibration - even though an alarm had been set and turned on. Sometimes the alarm functioned as expected, just not often enough for me to keep this app on my iPhone. I tried powering down my phone and restarting it just before bedtime; I tried uninstalling the app, then reinstalling it; nothing seemed to help. So, farewell to Rise. I will miss the gentle waking of the gradually increasing volume, but I cannot live with the unreliability.

No longer dependable

The most important thing for this app to do is to make sure the alarm works. It is a beautiful clock and I have used it for years. But recently it has been unreliable. Tried all sorts of solutions - restart app, restart phone, change settings on notifications. It shouldn’t be this hard to set an alarm. No response from email to developers.

DO NOT SNOOZE!

The alarm seems to work fine BUT DO NOT SNOOZE! If you SNOOZE it, the alarm switches into SILENT MODE which makes for a VERY BAD alarm! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

Unreliable. Deleting.

This app is completely unreliable. I do everything it asks me: leave the app open and make sure my sound is on. But nope, it’ll only work when it feels like it. I’ve used this app for years but I’m deleting it today. I’ve overslept way too frequently for this to be acceptable.

Unreliable alarm

Bought this when I had an iPhone 6 and it worked well, but I updated to an iPhone X and now I can’t rely on it at all. Obviously it doesn’t use the whole screen (not a big deal, I only use it once a day) but ever since I upgraded phones I can’t count on Rise to actually play sounds. Half the time, it only vibrates when the alarm goes off. I’ve slept through too many alarms recently to ever trust this app again.
