Lame – Gentle Alarm Clock Review

Despite the not so great reviews I gave this app a chance because I wanted non-jarring alarm clock sounds. As others noted, if the phone is on silent (muted by the slider upper left on phone) no alarm. When the alarm goes off it gives you message alert which you have to click, it opens the app, and then you click again to turn the alarm and sound off. Which you will want to do because the sounds are super lame. The bowls and bell-type sounds are jarring, mostly high pitched except for one particularly ugly low pitched wind chime sound, and many others are like circa 1980s new age music. The bird calls are among the most pleasant options. I'm deleting the app and wish there was a refund for clunky interface and poorly selected and executed sound.
