Product Details and Description of
Wake up to nature’s chorus with a bird alarm clock developed by Carnegie Museum of Natural History and The Innovation Studio. This artfully designed app is a calming, nature-inspired alternative to your usual blaring alarm. When the alarm goes off, birds begin to appear in trees to create a chorus of song. Choose from 20 birds to create a custom alarm. All of the birds are native to the northeastern United States, and users can hear their calls and learn more about them on bird cards developed with museum scientists. Carnegie Museum of Natural History is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh. The museum is an active research institution with an environmental research center in Rector, Pennsylvania called Powdermill Nature Reserve. The birds in this app were studied at the museum, are often banded at Powdermill, or are frequently impacted by window collisions—a phenomenon that the museum helps study and prevent as part of BirdSafe Pittsburgh. The Innovation Studio is the design, development, and workflow laboratory at Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, where it supports a culture of innovation throughout the museums.

AWESOME
This app is fabulous I have to get up early for school and this app is perfect. I have an alarm clock but it’s the most annoying thing, I found this app and it was awesome. It wakes you up without being overly annoying and can remind you of other things too. The visuals are stunning and the app tells you the birds that make the calls you are hearing and shows you what they look like. In the end this app is incredible I have deleted it many times to make space on my little iPod but I always come back and reinstall it in the end.

Exceptional app
I don’t understand why this app isn’t rated 5 stars by everyone. For me, this product brings substantial joy to my every day. I live a complicated life. I am the founder of a startup. I’ve had cancer multiple times. Sleep is elusive. On nights when I’ve had too little, at least I get to wake up to the semblance of nature. And I learn about our feathered brethren among the way. I really want to thank the developers of this app, the artists involved, and the Carnegie Museum for funding it. You did a great job and should be proud of your work. Well done.

Sounds like home
Absolutely love hearing the sounds of birds in the morning that I usually hear at home! It’s a great way to start the morning in a good mood, especially during a winter slump. I was so happy when I realized that I now get the CUTEST animal stickers for my text messages too! Amazing illustrations and I love that I can create different symphonies of bird calls. Thank you for making this app and I am recommending it to all my my friends!!! 😍
