i’ve been using this app since high school after my apple alarm randomly stopped going off some mornings making me miss the bus. it was extremely helpful for those early mornings after staying up way too late to finish an overdue assignment…it has extra loud alarm options that get louder the longer you let them go off, and they’re so annoying that you’ll literally do anything (including getting up) to make it stop. it also has lots of different options for wake up missions, such as memory games and math problems you have to complete before you can shut off the alarm. overall it is an extremely reliable alarm app, as long as it is open in the background of your apps it will go off. however after the recent update the app has introduced morning messages after the alarm is turned off…it will pop up with something encouraging to start off your day. they started pretty normal, things like “you can do this” or “believe in yourself”, but i think they’re trying too hard to be creative because they have been almost creepy the last few mornings. a couple days ago it read “don’t push yourself too hard to be happy :)” and this morning it said “i’m going to miss you.” what’s going on? is alarmy closing their app? am i going somewhere? like idk is it just me or are these lovely good morning messages becoming rather ominous? needless to say they are very confusing at 5:30AM, but also somewhat entertaining because i never know what i’m gonna get.

I never write reviews but this app has seriously changed my life and I wanted to share my views on it. I'm the deepest sleeper you'll ever meet. My mom gets so frustrated with me for school or whenever I have to get up early. I'm ALWAYS late to everything because I can't wake up. Whenever I would set a regular iPhone alarm full blast I still wouldn't hear it in the slightest. I sleep right through it without even realizing that it's going off. This alarm is LOUD and WILL NOT STOP GOING OFF until you complete an action. I noticed that regular iPhone alarms also stop ringing after a while. This one will literally ring forever. It is so persistent. I just use the free version of the app and for me personally, it does wake me up. But if you're like me and you sleep like the dead and have the money to spend on premium, go for it. It isn't that expensive and I think it's a smart purchase. Premium will only make it better better, not worse. As far as the alarm itself I would give 5 stars. The only reason I gave 4 is because the whole app can be hard to navigate sometimes and it's a little dated. I feel like the layout of this app is very 2013 and the creators should consider a new, modern design. I don't think the appearance would have an impact on the effectiveness of the app but I definitely think more people would be inclined to download it if it had a fresh modern layout. Definitely give this app a try!

Update after 3 weeks of use: I switched from photo to scanning a barcode of something in the kitchen and that has been more effective. I’m taking off one star only because you cannot use the phones flashlight while the barcode scanner is open, meaning I have to find a light source. Rather than blind myself with the bright kitchen lights, I grab the salt and hunch down next to the little night light by the cat food to get it to work. Other apps with barcode scanners have a way to turn your light on - that would be really useful at 5am. And yet, for the FIRST time in my 30 years, I am up on time every single day. Original review: I set this to take a photo of my coffee pot. Alarm went off as expected (extremely loudly I may add, as I fumbled with my phone trying o silence it while running from the bedroom so as to not wake up my husband). I get downstairs and take a photo of the coffee pot. Photo doesn’t match. Tried again. Photo doesn’t match. Tried at least 10 times. Lined it up as perfectly as I could. Doesn’t match doesn’t match doesn’t match. I quit the app, alarm wouldn’t stop. I turned off my phone but when I turned it back on the alarm just kept going. I ultimately made it stop by deleting the app but I feel like if I redownload it will start going again. There really needs to be some kind of “emergency shutoff.” On the plus side, I’m definitely awake.
