Review summary

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.

2026-07-01	km*****	I purchased an annual subscription due to all the issues I was having with the app. Lo and behold just as bad. Now that I let the subscription lapse it is even worse. Won’t turn off half the time, I have to turn off my phone to stop the alarm. I can click on the alarm screen and it won’t do anything half the time. It freezes. I am considering a different one.

2026-06-29	el*****	Unusable now without renewing premium, ads pop up relentlessly even if you painstakingly sit through one. My time is valuable - I’d renew if I actually felt this app was worth it. But the money grab to force it is such a turn off. Have missed 2 alarms since despite fighting to even be able to set an alarm. Deleting app after posting this, after using it for the last couple of years. DO BETTER.

2026-06-25	Mr*****	I have no complaint with this app. I’ve used it for years and I’ve never had an issue with it so I’m not gonna say anything bad about this app. It’s worth what I pay.

2026-06-24	MG*****	Phone has to be shut down and restarted. Buttons are also non-responsive hard to use. Gooey interface could use a little more work.
