User Reviews

Sun Alarm is praised for automatically syncing alarms with sunrise and sunset and allowing detailed customization, benefiting users for activities like farming, prayers, or photography. However, multiple reviews cite problems with alarm dismissal, missing vibration alerts, issues post Android 14 updates, and battery optimizations affecting performance. Users also highlight the lack of developer interaction, causing unresolved bugs. Despite these problems, the app's core functionality and design receive positive feedback, especially when users manage Android settings to accommodate its requirements.

Pros

Automatically adjusts alarms based on sunrise and sunset times, eliminating the need for daily manual setting.
Allows setting multiple alarms with specific offsets from solar events, useful for various activities like photography, prayers, and animal care.
Pro version offers additional features like more alarms and alarms for different solar phenomena such as Golden hour and Civil Twilight.
User interface includes pleasant design elements like pastel colors and presets, enhancing user experience.
The app supports customization and is useful for resetting body clocks according to solar cycles.

Cons

Alarms can be difficult to dismiss or silent, sometimes requiring rebooting the phone, causing user frustration.
The app occasionally fails to trigger vibrations even when selected, making it less effective.
Issues with Android 14 compatibility, including app freezing, unresponsiveness, and inability to detect location.
Battery usage requires manual setting to 'Unrestricted' to prevent alarms from failing or the app closing unexpectedly.
Lack of developer support and response to user queries or bug reports impedes timely fixes and improvements.

Recent reviews

Dear sun alarm team, please add a feature that also calculates the time you should sleep, for example if sunrise is 8:30, and your aiming to wake 1 hour before which is 7:30, and your aiming for 8.5 hours of sleep, it will automatically work out what time you should sleep and include it within the details of your alarm, that would be really handy and I would definitely pay premium for that feature.

Issue. Recently, after updating to android 14 in samsung phone. The alarm cannot be dismissed without unlocking the phone screen. Hope you can fix it. Otherwise, this app is perfect.
