Galarm - Alarms and Reminders

Worked great at first, then the ads started. Each time I opened an alarm to edit it, an ad popped up and would not let me proceed. Had to close, go out, and start over. Then it happened three times in a row today while trying to edit one alarm. Deleted app.

I like the concept of the app a lot. Being able to schedule alarms is super helpful as a shift worker whose schedule is constantly changing. I do think the app description is misleading- I downloaded from the Apple App Store and it states that you can add your own alarm sounds. After downloading and spending time scheduling alarms, I searched in the app for how to add my own sounds and eventually found out in the help page that this feature is only available for Android devices. Why say this is a feature when it isn’t? That was disappointing, but not enough for me to delete the app. My next issue is much more frustrating and makes me want to delete the app every time an alarm goes off. The alarms do not stop snoozing 3-5x, no matter what method I use to mark them as done. The banner notification feature that has a “done, skip, snooze” menu snoozes the alarm no matter what. The home screen notifications snooze no matter what I select. Opening the app from a notification and selecting “done” only snoozes- and that is only IF the alarm page actually opens. 80% of the time opening the app doesn’t open the active alarm. The app will show that the alarm is “missed” but even after marking it done or skipped in the missed section, it will continue to go off. I have all my alarms set to the minimum number of snoozes, but they all go off 3-5x no matter what I do and the alarm sounds available in the app are startling, not calm and gentle. It creates so much frustration, stress, and annoyance - I’m dealing with a minimum of 21 alarms going off each day when I’ve only set 7. And this is the paid version of the app. The bugs are awful for something I’m paying for.
