Too many add pop ups

??? ??? ?? ???? ?? ?

I had been running the free version for a while without any issues. Following an IOS update, alarm settings couldn’t be edited, snooze button couldn’t be used, the app just closes. It used to be a really good app, and it’s disappointing.

Used this alarm app faithfully for many many years. Put up with the ads because it worked just fine. But now the alarm app shuts off in the middle of the night and deselects the alarms that I have turned on. I wake up and my alarms are off– never having woken me up. Need to find a new alarm app because this one is unreliable.

This has been my go-to alarm clock for years. I purchased it when it was a one-time payment and was a bit dismayed to find that the upgrade was now subscription-based. I’m not opposed to the subscription except that the performance of the app is no longer reliable. Two major issues have me looking for a new app: (1) Previously I’ve been able to silence the phone and the alarm still worked. I don’t keep the ringer on during the day because I prefer the haptics on my watch and I’m really worried I’ll forget to un-silence the phone at the end of the day. (2) The alarms randomly turn off so if I don’t check them every day, its very likely that they won’t sound at all. I set three alarms and verified they were on at the start of the day today. By the end of the day, the first one was still active but the second two were both off and I hadn’t touched the app all day. Please fix my alarm clock! I miss the old reliable app. Edit: I confirmed that three alarms were set when I went to bed last night. I woke up this morning (without the alarm) to discover that two of them had turned off on their own overnight.

New Review 4-16-24 I don’t mind the ads and the problem I had before was pretty much cleared up, but recently they have added ads the whole time the app is open. There are ads that come on so bright (literally brighter than the ap’s flashlight feature) while I am sleeping that they wake me up and run down my battery. I charge my iPad all night while the clock is on and have never had a problem, but now it actually uses my battery up while it’s changing or it will charge very slowly. I have several alarms set and I really like the way the snooze works, but these ads are making it hard to get rest. I don’t mind the ads scrolling across the bottom at night, but it would be nice if they weren’t so bright. *************************************************************** Old Review This has been my alarm clock for several years. I have it on my iPad and it’s very easy to use. I generally push the snooze button several times and I’m glad the snooze button and the off button are very clear. My one issue is that every night I open this app, click off the page asking if I want to upgrade and wait for the ad. I don’t mind the ad, however it takes at least 30 seconds to come up. Which may not seem long, but I’m ready to go to sleep when I put my iPad down, so I place it on my nightstand and wait, and wait, and wait while trying not to fall asleep ( I literally fall asleep the second my head hits my pillow) Most night about 30 seconds later, I have an ad. A lot of nights I think there’s not going to be an ad after all, and I lay down and get settled and the the ad pops up and I have to get back up to turn it off. And about 1 to 2 times a week, I actually don’t get an ad. I don’t mind the ads (and I really don’t mind the nights I get no ads lol), but to have to wait so long for it, is kind of a pain. I understand that this is a first world problem, but I am so tired when I go to bed that I just want to turn my clock on, get the ad, then go to sleep. But other than that, I love this app.

I have used this app since I started using a smart phone for an alarm. Have done away with my actual alarm clock / clock radio. Got used to the one ad that followed opening the app. I get it that I could upgrade to the $ version, but this version has worked so good for so long. Now, I get ads at the bottom of the screen at all times of the night. And not just subtle apps that will respond to the little x in the corner, nor will the brightness control hinder them (well, it does, actually, but there are no numbers to see). These ads are bright! I guess I should be glad that the ads have no audio (for now). Whoever made the decision to include these random ads needs to use the version for themself to see how annoying this is. You do know there are other options out there, right?

My wife and I have been using this app for over 25 years! The “ads”, the paid “special features” have destroyed the functionality of a previously very good alarm clock! Capitalism triumphs or trumps, and you the user loses!

This has been my go to alarm for years - every night. I dealt with the the onslaught of ads and the 2 minute ad every night before bed (used to be a couple of seconds). Then they started ads on the clock itself which meant now my room would light up like Christmas at random times thru the night. Not fun. The last straw was that it recently started hanging up in the middle of the night. That hang up means my alarms don’t go off. This means it’s now unreliable. Two stars for historical use when it was my go to.

Over the last few months this alarm has turned its alarms off (un-checked them) several times. I have gotten in the habit of making sure the alarm is set every night but again this morning it didn’t go off. When I looked, they were unchecked. I don’t know why it is doing this but it has cost me money!
