Used the free version for over a year & it was GREAT! Then, ads got extremely annoying so spent the $3.99 for the upgrade. At the get-go, have to agree to allowing notifications AND app had to be left open overnight in order for the alarm to work! That should’ve been a red flag but had already paid for the upgrade so continued on.
Chose a new wake up time & music. Before I could finish, at the bottom of the screen was an ad that wasn’t supposed to be there w/the upgrade! Figured it was “operator error” so turned phone off ... in hopes to reset - & started over. Saved the new time, previewed the music. Continued to have those annoying ads so, again, turned phone off & started over. Did this 3-4 times. “Appeared” new time & music was saved & being totally exasperated, left app open, put phone on the charger & went to bed.
The next morning, “old” music woke me up at the “old” time!!
Have an IPhone 8 - anyone else having this issue? Is it the phone, the upgraded app or me?
I’m so disappointed! Btw, IF I read it correctly, not only does one have to allow notifications, have to also allow access to music (understandable), camera (why??) & a list of almost everything on your phone! Should’ve NEVER agreed to such intrusive allowance!! Ended up deleting Alarm For Me Upgraded App!! Now I’m out $3.99; have No Alarm & feel totally ripped off!!

Not sure where to start
1) I set 3 alarms with different sounds, but all 3 ended up playing the exact same song
2) the volume would randomly spike to horribly loud for no reason
3) you have to have the app open at all times on your phone at night to give yourself even a chance at the alarms going off. You cant set the alarms and close the app or even lock your phone or it will malfunction and one morning none of the alarms even went off.
4) if you turned your phone sideways while an alarm was going on, the button to turn off the alarm would completely disappear. Then you had to open and close the alarm app until it decided to come back and all the while your alarm is blaring
5) tried to turn on 10 shakes to turn off alarm. It did not work. After 5 minutes of shaking it up, down, sideways, and every combination of directions I could, it was only counting 6 total shakes. I had to uninstall the app to get the alarm to stop
Also some of the default alarm sounds are very clearly a literal recording of a real alarm that they didn’t even bother to edit the length of properly

This app is designed badly and works even worse. Try a different one. Its very telling that despite the high # of 5 star reviews, the most helpful reviews are nearly all 1-3 stars. Not sure who these people are that left 5 star reviews but they aren’t providing much help in their review.

When my other regular alarm app started behaving erratically after the upgrade to ios11, i was forced to go to this app. I desperately want to switch to another alarm app. This app pesters you with notifications for products and other crap pretty much all the time. And you can’t turn off notifications because that is needed for the alarm to go off. And this is the only app that exploits notifications for ads. I will jump ship as soon as possible. Two thumbs down!!!!

Update: The developer responded to the above review by recommending their paid apps to avoid nagging pop ups. So their marketing strategy seems to be to drive their free app customers to pay for their app by hounding then with pop ups. I’m sorry. (a) no other free app has ever pestered me with a pop up. Non intrusive ads yes! I can understand. Notifications are for alarms and not for your crazy stupid ads. (b) this just drives me far from all your products. And I’ve just deleted this app and started using another alarm app. Adios!
