Next Up - A Podcast Alarm

Wake up engaged with a podcast

Features & Capabilities

Next Up is a full-featured podcast alarm clock that starts your morning with audio from podcasts instead of traditional alarm tones. It offers 5 free alarms and auto-sync with the Podcasts app, giving access to 750k+ podcasts.

You can customize every wake-up: skip already-heard episodes, adjust snooze duration and volume, skip ads, and repeat alarms on chosen days. Wake to the latest episodes or start from the beginning, plus a built-in white noise generator. Basic alarm sounds and white noise are free; Apple Music is required for playback (subscription not needed).

User Reviews

Users praise the sleek UI and the ability to wake up to podcasts, a long-sought feature, and note positive customization and occasional fixes. However, reliability is the dominant problem: alarms frequently fail to trigger or play. Battery drain is a major drawback. Many users dislike the subscription pricing and trial charges. Support responsiveness is often lacking and bugs remain unresolved, limiting consistent use.

This app is great when it works. But it rarely works. 4/5 days it doesn’t start. And it also drains my battery like nobody’s business.
