Nice Idea - Too Many Flaws - Unreliable – Light Alarm Review

Love the idea but the flaws short circuit the benefits. There’s no way to turn off the time light while sleeping so I have to put the phone face down so my sleep won’t be disturbed which means the light alarm is useless. But I was using it anyhow for the bird alarm, until this morning. This morning I tapped the screen for snooze (just a corner because the phone is face down to handle the first flaw) and the app never unsnoozed. Turns out the app put up a modal dialog wanting me to rate it and the alarm was off when I needed snooze. Dumb move given I wound up sleeping too late because of that. The combination of these flaws make this app unreliable. And the tragedy is that the flaws are design choices that don’t need to be there. Hope the developer fixes the flaws and good luck! For now I need a workable light alarm clock. I’m going to shell out the bucks to buy a physical dedicated light alarm clock that doesn’t have these flaws today.
