Review summary

Users appreciate the app's unique motivational alarm concept and find the motivational speeches inspiring and helpful for waking up positively. However, multiple users report critical issues such as alarms not going off reliably, no option to customize alarm sounds, and harsh alarm sounds causing unpleasant wakes. Technical problems including crashes and brief beeps instead of full alarms reduce usability. Some negative concerns about developer behavior were also noted. Overall, while the app has strong potential for motivation-driven alarms, stability and customization improvements are needed for widespread acceptance.
Pros
  • Unique concept of combining motivation with alarm to wake up positively
  • Motivational quotes and speeches help users feel inspired
  • App design and appearance generally appreciated by users
  • Potential to help users start their day feeling motivated
  • Some users find it better than standard alarm clocks for waking up
Cons
  • Alarm often fails to go off or is inconsistent in timing
  • Lack of option to choose or customize alarm sounds
  • Alarm sound (handbell) is harsh and unpleasant for many users
  • App sometimes crashes or only produces a brief beep instead of full alarm
  • Developer's past behavior perceived as invasive or creepy by one user

I love the idea of this concept. 😍 However, there have been a couple of them that start out not so ideal to wake up to. One of them gave me instant flash backs of past drama. It would be better not to start the day with that kind of storyline.

I love it but I want more inspirational audio to hear. Sometimes it has nothing to do with goals, it's just new and fun info, which is nice. However, I prefer more motivational ones and new ones in general. I think this app could be cooler if I could select all the audio clips I want to hear and if there were a lot of different types to choose from.

I like the idea. My problem is the damn bell that rings, it's such a sharp and obnoxious noise, I really think it should be changed. It sure as heck got the bloodflowing and adrenaline pumping when I woke up in a split second and thought my apartment was on fire, quickly searching for the source of the noise. I bet most people would like to be eased into the waking state, not thrown off the proverbial cliff. Give us like a minute of music increasing in volume and then feed us the inspiration.

It's great, except that I can't choose my own alarm sound. If I could do that, then this would be the perfect app!

In 2016 I gave this app a 3, and then uninstalled it. Some time later the actual dev messaged me, he found me on facebook and asked me to comment on it, after which I blocked Matej (the dev). Found that message again today, five years later, which reminded me to update the review. It's now 1, because what the literal Frick. Do not download this app. I will also be notifying the play store about it, even though it's been a few years. I just now did send in my 2¢, to google play via "Report content issues or violations". This is bad, creepy, weird and utterly unacceptable behaviour from an app developer. Edit: 2021-12-10, the dev responded "Wow... sounds like you live a busy and eventful life :) good luck, all the best" but, as we can see it has since (later, that same day) been edited. Do not download this app unless you want to be harassed.

It's okay, but I was hoping for something different. The app only plays motivational speeches where I was hoping for more of a motivational push like "I AM..." The motivational speeches used takes too long to get going.

I have given the app 3 stars for appearance, but uninstalled due to the alarms not going off I did enable app overlay and volume it just makes a beep and thats the end of it with a crash or app close, hope you guys improve the app it looks promising but for now ill use my phones alarm.

Ive really enjoyed this App. The motivational quotes and speeches are great. However some improvements I would suggest is that the speech doesnt loop/repeat after it's completed. Option for different Alarm sounds, the handbell is a bit rough on the ears. Otherwise, Awesome app

Doesn't work. Initially I felt maybe I've suddenly become a heavy sleeper that I dont hear the alarm but realized later that the alarm doesn't go off at all. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to keep the network connection on or open the app or what?

Does not let me pick out my own motivational alarm..... I was expecting there to be options or to even let me hear what it's going to play and it doesn't.
