Supa kewl & life saving app
This app is amazing, nothing really wrong abt it cus yk it’s just an alarm app. I really needed this and it’s also free so supa goated.
Does not work
Read title
Doesn’t work anymore
Worked great, but the new update won’t even open. It crashes immediately.
Functionality issues
Concept of the app and the interface is actually just fine with me. I get ads, but Jesus it completely ruins the sound machine portion of this app. You turn this on, it’s starts for a split second, an ad banner pops up and turns the sound off…try and restart it and it runs another impossibly long ad. It takes 10 minutes (embellished) to work through the hang ups and bugs just to get the app to work properly IF you can get it to work.
Stops working
The alarm is great…when it works. When I first downloaded it worked great, then it just suddenly stops working. So then I downloaded a different version. Same thing. I removed that version and re-downloaded this one…same thing.
Good
Excellent
Questionable ads
Questionable inappropriate ads I don’t want to see. And no option to just pay for no ads either. Update: Can you guys please let me pay you to disable ads? Not to be blunt, I don’t want to use the app before bed if it’s going to show me imagery like it does. I find that stuff traumatic.
Bluetooth hearing aid
I really like this app! I am hearing impaired and this is loud enough to wake me up through headphones every time. Can you add an option to use with bluetooth hearing aids also? 5/26/25. HELP! I hate the ads on the count-down page. Not even fully awake and confronted and confused by this box of words at 6:30 a.m. LIKE THE APP WELL ENOUGH TO PAY to remove ads. Please!
Disappointing over time
This app was effective for the first two weeks then became a disappointment. The app only lets you set one alarm, which was already discouraging, but you can set up 4 different ones. Having to open the app to “snooze” seemed fine until the first alarm stopped making any sound in my headphones. It also does not always work. The alarm sometimes will say it is set then turn itself off in the night. I am using the free version, and the ads are buggy and make sounds as well, which significantly decreases the value of the app. It would be fine if it was just silent banner ads, but the ads for mobile games are loud, colorful, and long-winded. Don’t risk being late for work. Just wake up whoever else is in the room.
Plz fix
I didn’t set the alarm, however when I put on my earbuds it somehow turns on the alarm.
Josephine’s headphone alarm.
Your app is great. However I wish you would have weekend and weekday alarm setting in order to make it easier to set the alarm on a regular basis.
Didn’t work
Literally the alarm just didn’t go off when it was supposed to.
Pls add this
its a good app but please make it so we can add custom alarms instead of using apple music to add alarms!!
Bad advertisement
“Trojan virus” warning is popping up as an ad. I don’t trust this and I’m worried it is a scam. Can you please get rid of that ? Otherwise, I appreciate the app.
Should be able to buy it ad free
No option just to buy. You have to completely wit program to get rid of the ad.
Different Alarm sound options
Great app!!! I have been using it for years. I think that I’ve become used to the alarm tone options. My husband has had to wake me up due to being desensitized to the tones. Maybe you can update that sounds or change them up. You’re the only app that works on my iPhone that plays the alarm through my sleep headphones.
Does not work while screen is locked
Does not work while phone screen is locked causing excessive battery use
Please set up Chinese version or English version
Thanks
Did not work
I set an alarm and it didn’t go off at the time I set it for. When I opened my phone hours later and opened the app the phone gently vibrated without making any sounds, while there was still the display as though the alarm had never gone off even though the time I set was 4 hours before. I even tested if the sound and vibrations would work the night before by setting an alarm and listening to it. This was the first time I used the new app, but I never had this problem using the previous app.
Alarm doesn’t go off
This app is great, when it works. Some days, the app just randomly decides not to sound the alarm and it is so annoying because I can’t wake up when I want to.
pretty great!
this alarm on max volume is REALLY annoying and jarring in the morning, which is perfect! the only thing i'd caution is that if you have a regular alarm on IOS set at the same time the IOS alarm will cancel out the one from this app. the only feature i'm really missing is that you can only set the one alarm, and you can't have it on a repeating schedule. you have to manually turn it on every night
Offer a paid option w/o ads!
Having full screen ads pop up when trying to use the app as intended is just horrible! I’d rather pay for an app than have a “free” app constantly shoving ads in your face when trying to wake up and accidentally clicking on them when half asleep is just scummy behavior.
Would be nice if you could set multiple alarms
This app pretty much does what I needed it for (alarm that plays through headphones), but you can only set it to have one alarm running at a time. You can save multiple presets, but only one is active at once. The UI seems buggy sometimes but so far it has worked fairy well for its intended purpose.
Great App. But has a serious problem
When I set up alarm songs, it crashed and never opened again. I can’t use this app now. It’s kinda big problem
Great
Great App
Alarm often doesn’t go off
This happens A LOT, where I se the alarm, but it doesn’t go off.
Sometimes the alarm doesn’t sound.
Occasionally the alarm won’t sound. It will stay on and reset but won’t sound. It doesn’t happen often but I have woken up late about three times due to this issue.
3% chance you could be late
This alarm works very well, it plays directly through the earphones gradually increasing the volume until you have to wake up. HOWEVER every now and then ( maybe once every 2 months) the alarm decides not to turn on. When I wake up late and check the alarm thinking I woke up and turned it off. Nope that wasn’t the case, it resets itself and says it will be going off in 23 hours and 42 minutes from now. YOU MUST LOOK INTO THIS AND FIX THE CODE!!!!!!!!!!
Works well!
Does what it's supposed to and not too many ads. My only suggestion would be having a countdown in addition to setting a time.
Doesn’t work since it updated
Why doesn’t this app work anymore? The old version worked great but now it works maybe 1 out of every 10 tries.
Interface
The interface is hard to understand. I wish it was simple like other alarm apps. Other than that it’s pretty good.
Can’t use on ios
It’s crash at start screen, and no response.
Great app
Very nice program - would be very interested in an ad-free version.
Bad
Shoves ads do your throat until you choke.
Remove ads?
I’d really like to be able to remove ads. I’d pay a fee for this option!
Works with headphones 🙌🏽
It’s a MUST have. I need to be able to privately use my alarm without waking up those next to me at night. Highly recommended ✅👌🏽
Waste of time
Alarm doesn’t sound. But app randomly beeps.
So Useful
Amazing little app, I use it every morning. It wakes me instantly and my spouse doesn’t hear anything. Perfect.
Alarm does not make sound in headphone
The ONE thing this app is supposed to do it fails! The interface was done in English (nice) compared to the previous version "earphone app" but who cares if the alarm won't make a sound in the headset. I depend on this to wake me up without the phone making noise. I'm going back to using the foreign interface in the old app since I have figured out how to set up alarms.
