Users praise the app for its high customization, effectiveness in waking heavy sleepers, and integration with Google Calendar.

Despite occasional device-specific issues, it remains a preferred choice for users needing advanced alarm features and challenges to ensure waking up.
Pros

- Integrates well with Google Calendar for synchronized scheduling and alarms.
- Reliable for managing complex schedules and reminders, especially with biweekly alarms and profiles.
- Volume fade-in and advanced alarm scheduling features enhance wake-up experience.
Cons
- Frequent and intrusive ads, including unskippable timed ads and ads on every alarm change, frustrating users.
- Issues with alarms not sounding or failing to go off reliably, causing users to oversleep.
- Problems with post-alarm confirmation being difficult to disable or inconsistently functioning, leading to multiple confirmation prompts.
- Buggy behavior on some devices, including difficulty silencing timers, problematic notification handling, and inconsistent smart watch integration.
- Some feature limitations, such as Places feature not working properly and limited sound options for alarms.

| 2025-01-25 |  | | Without a doubt the best Alarm clock app out there for those who like to custimize settings and make on the fly adjustments. If I could give it 10 stars I would. **Update 1/25/25**: I'm still loving the app, but please add more Predefined Snooze length options further than 1hr. I use this app for task reminders and would be great if you can add 1.5hr, 2hr, 2.5hr, 3hr, 4hr snooze options in your next app update release. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!! |
| 2025-01-17 |  | | Really helps me wake up! I love that it integrates with Google Calendar well, so I can set up my schedule and then my wakeup time together in one place, and it synchronizes the alarms! Only big feature missing is having a step counter as either an alarm challenge, or to auto-dismiss the post-alarm confirmation. They'll get 5 stars from me if they add that. |
| 2025-01-13 |  | | I've had the app open for 5 minutes and have already ditched me old alarm clock. The attention to detail that went into some of these features is just pure genius problem solving. Not even sure if I can pay for this but i will absolutely support anyone that gives me a one time alarm self destruct button so I don't accidentally give myself a surprise stroke. Seriously though, nice work. I have tons more to explore but it was stand out enough for me that I came back specifically to leave this rev |
| 2025-01-01 |  | | Actually fantastic, unlike Galarm. Def supports biweekly alarms like I needed, which is crazy rare. But this one is super polished and doesn't do anything annoying. Galarm can't even ring without a notification sound on top of it at the same time. AMdroid (Heavy Sleepers, same app) is way better |
| 2024-12-31 |  | | Great for alarms. However the timer can do se some work. When the timer goes off, and if the screen is on a different app or on the launcher, it is really hard to silence/stop the timer. Otherwise this has been the best alarm app I've found since timely stopped getting supported. |
| 2024-12-24 |  | | Odd things lately. If the phone is locked/closed, trying to hit the stop alarm button on ones thwt don't need post confirm will cause another to appear and then a third that will cause it to require post confirmation. If you manage to unlock your phone, it works fine. Edit: Now sometimes if you turn an alarm off too fast, the TTS voice will still try to speak every minute as if the alarm is going off! |
| 2024-12-19 |  | | So far, this is the only app that works for me. Struggling with insomnia, when I do sleep, regular clock apps are too easy for me to shut off in my sleep, even when I set 10+ alarms. With this app, I have to type a code as it appears on the screen otherwise it just won't shut up. Perfect. 10 of those and Im up by the 2nd one. Even If I managed to do it in my sleep, I have to confirm Im awake within the app. Works every time. |
| 2024-12-18 |  | | This app is almost perfect for navigating my ADHD. Especially because it allows me to choose how long to snooze an alarm for EACH time it goes off. I have one that reminds me to hydrate. Last app only helped if I happened to be with my water. This one, I can tell it to go off again when I expect to be. Also it syncs with my calendar. 4 stars because of profiles alarms are put in. I'd prefer if each individual alarm could be given different settings. Also, limited sound options. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | I've been using this alarm for years with no issues. The alarms now go off and do not make a sound, so I woke up late to work yesterday! I tried it again this morning, and it went off at the correct time, but again no sound!! I used my default alarm on the phone in case, and thank goodness, because the phone alarm woke me for work. I tried it tonight as a test, and again, the alarm went off, but no sound! Very upset, and I will uninstall this app!!! |
| 2024-12-04 |  | | The only app that's made correctly but it still has issues. When trying to turn on one of your past alarms, they purposely make it so it turns on for the next day instead of in the morning. Which forces u to watch more ads. Another annoying aspect is when it doesn't let you disable the post-alarm confirmation |
