Light Alarm Wake Up Light Reviews

There is a “sleep” time and “stop” time. I can change the sleep time but there is no context, am I setting a time to fall asleep? Am I setting a wake up start time? How do I adjust the length of time to wake up? How do I test this? What is the stop time? It seems to be set and won’t let me change it. Is this supposed to be the time that the wake up alarm finishes? It is preset to 9:43 PM. There are no other buttons or links. How do I set preferences?

Works only sporadically- exactly the WRONG quality for an alarm clock.

No function

LightAlarmWakeUpLight is laughable bad. It doesn't even work unless LightAlarmWakeUpLight is held open. It doesn't go off if your phone is locked. Useless as an alarm.

When I set the alarm, I double check to be sure the volume is all the way up… somehow the alarm turns itself down to less than 30% and I can barely hear it. Please look into this glitch, thanks

Pretty much exactly what I wanted in a light alarm but the bird sounds stop me from using it.

I love the idea, I don’t like that you got to keep LightAlarmWakeUpLight open

This alarm is great! Super simple, there are no settings to fuss around with except the wake up time. And it's exactly what you would want from a light alarm. The light gradually starts to increase about 10 minutes before the alarm. About 5 minutes before the alarm, the camera light kicks on and starts to increase. The birds start chirping 3 minutes before the alarm. I gave it 4 stars because the bird noises are a bit intense for me. Instead of it sounding like there are birds chirping outside my windows, it's a bit more like waking up in an aviary. But I've enjoyed using this alarm regardless.

This is a great app, but as others have noted, a few settings would make this perfect. For example, being able to set the time before the wake up time that the light starts to gradually fade in. And, the ability to adjust the volume of the birds from 0 to the lodest setting. Or, being able to set what color the fade in light starts at (such as a reddish or orange) and what color it is when it is fully on (such as white or yellow). Also, the screen needs to turn off completely during “sleep” so it is not using the LCD at all—turning off completely will reduce energy use and increase life of LCD display and prevent the dim glow from keeping light sleepers from getting to sleep or staying asleep.

Good app tho. I would pay for the additional features.

I’d like to use this in a shared dormitory to wake myself up without disturbing others. But it doesn’t allow you to turn off the bird sounds, it even unmutes your device. A subtle switch for audio wouldn’t hurt the simplicity.

I echo the previous comments. Great design. Minimal steps needed to set. Goes totally dark upon setting, which is a huge plus.

But.... Add two things: 1. Menu of sounds, and 2. Light control for fades and brightness.

I also would gladly pay for these features.

I loved LightAlarmWakeUpLight up to last update. It works well to add sound and light to my room and ease me out of sleep without the jar of an alarm. Since last update it will close while I sleep and cancel the alarm. I do wish that it did not have to be open to run, but it does do a great job of waking me up when it does not cancel the alarm. Just a glitch with the update it seems.

It’s simple to use and works exactly as I’d hoped it would, using the front screen and rear flash light to gradually wake you up with light. Thank you for improving my wake ups!

Thank you so much for adding the bird setting!!! It’s perfect!!

Easy…. No frills….. perfect first alarm in the morning!

Thank you very much !

This is the best sunrise alarm app I have used. It is FREE and not a standalone alarm so of course there can be improvements, but I personally love its simplicity and the fact that IT JUST WORKS unlike some other apps.

I now have a sunrise alarm anywhere, even when traveling :)

I always have trouble with normal alarms because they make me wake up mad because they wake me up so abruptly. This alarm has helped me so much because it’s so calming to wake up by the sounds of birds, it also lights up the telephone screen slowly. Would highly recommend if you like me don’t like normal iPhone alarms.

I’m giving LightAlarmWakeUpLight five stars even though I think there is some room for improvement. It does the job it claims to do. I wake up to gradual light and birds chirping. I find myself grinding my teeth and clenching my jaw when waking to loud abrupt noises so this is ideal.

I would love to have the option for different sounds (ocean waves, light rain, etc. ) and to have some control over the duration of the fade in.

I have a very dark room and I’m a heavy sleeper so this light alarm works really well and this alarm is the best thing I’ve ever found to actually wake me up. I place my phone on a phone holder that’s attached to my headboard with the screen facing me and eventually the light along with the alarm actually wakes me up!
