Needs improvements – CARROT Alarm - Talking Alarm Clock Review

Overall I love the CARROT apps, but this one falls short. It always talks loudly whenever you just open the app, which is very annoying. It must be left open, with the phone sound on, to actually wake you up. If you leave the app open but forget to take your phone off silent or forget to turn the volume up, it won't wake you up (it only buzzes if the sound is off). Once you open it, the app turns the sound wayyy up which seams unnecessary. It always says "the time is 12:00" no matter what time of day it is. I love the idea of having to do certain "chores" to shut it off, but it doesn't need to literally speak them. There should be a way to shut the voice off permanently. Reading the chores is enough, plus it ensures that you have to actually open your eyes! I find myself setting a backup alarm every day because I usually have my phone sound off all the time and usually forget to turn it on even if I remember to leave the app open. I really want to like this app but it definitely needs improvements to actually be a reliable alarm.
