User Reviews

Reviewers largely praise Alarm Clock HD's long history and basic alarm features, with some noting it was a great, simple clock in years past and enjoying the crystal drops sound. However, the dominant sentiment is negative due to intrusive ads, a costly subscription, and critical reliability issues (alarms failing to go off, going off late, or snooze/stop not appearing). Additional frustrations include ad-driven UI interruptions, DST/time changes breaking alarms, and compatibility problems on newer devices. A minority still values its familiarity and core functionality despite these problems.

Pros

Historically reliable alarm clock with years of user adoption.
Simple, straightforward alarm setup and core features.
Pleasant alarm sound option, notably the crystal drops sound.
Some users still view it as a great alarm clock despite recent changes.
Past positive sentiment on reliability and simplicity before ads and updates degraded.

Cons

Intrusive and persistent ads that block usage and require long waits.
Expensive subscription model / annual fee; perceived as outweighing a useful free version.
Alarm reliability problems (not sounding, going off late, or failing to respond to snooze/stop).
UI/UX issues caused by ads (buttons not visible, ad popups interfering with setup).
Daylight Savings/time-change issues and device compatibility problems with newer iPhones.

Recent reviews

Latest update snooze doesn’t work, sometimes two alarms are going off at same time. It used to fade up, now it goes at full blast.

One of the few Alarm Apps that works with my ancient iPad Mini 2. The “Digital Nightstand” Alarm option is LOUD and is on all versions of the app. It’s the 2nd loudest Alarm out there and I’ve tried all the apps. THIS APP WORKS GREAT AND IS DEPENDABLE. The only bug is sometimes the alarm just won’t go off. The fix is simple, just close out the app and reboot the device before setting the alarm. Works 100% of the time if you do that. It could just be an old bug on an older version of the app I’m using. I use the latest version of the app occasionally on other devices and do the reboot thing anyways so yeah, probably just an old bug. My iPad Mini 2 would be totally worthless if not for this app. 99% of apps don’t work on it anymore but this one does so the old iPad lives on. I use the iPad as an alarm clock and have the audio output connected to the AUX in on a jam box or an even much louder Stereo for a super loud alarm! The “Digital Nightstand” Alarm Setting paired with a jam box or better yet a stereo will wake up the deepest sleeper which I sleep super heavy and deep. The old iPad is on the highest iOS it can be updated to which is iOS 12. I have WiFi turned off so they can’t force update the app like most other app makers do and make the iPad totally worthless & obsolete. The app still installs on old devices though. Just select an older version of the app from their library but anyways, just in case they want to make my iPad 100% obsolete I just keep the WiFi off so nothing can update. It’s not like it can be used for anything else. If it wasn’t for this App the iPad would’vet been in the trash years ago and why I continue to support this app and have it on all my devices which can all just as easily be hooked up to a Jam Box/Boom Box, Computer Speakers, and I actually use a full blown stereo sometimes with Two 6.5” 50watts per speaker Ceiling Speakers directly above my bed, aiming straight at my head. Told You, I’m a DEEP SLEEPER. I use that setup when I MUST wake up bc I sleep so deeply that I’ll sleep through a Boom Box going off for a full hour that my next door neighbors can hear. It’s rare but not uncommon. Again, I’m a super duper deep sleeper. I live in a house in a traditional neighborhood too, I’m not talking the next apartment over. So, if you sleep deep then hook your phone up to a Boom Box. Bluetooth works too but can be sketchy. What works best is an Audio Cable from the phone/tablet to the AUX In on the Boom Box. You want something with some REAL SPEAKERS
