This alarm app does everything I need it to. I can keep multiple regularly-scheduled alarms, as well as alarms that aren't scheduled and I can turn on when needed. I like the sleep tracking, but I don't really use it much anymore except to monitor my sleep deficit. A feature I really like is the ability to craft different length snoozes; my first snooze is 5 minutes, then 2 minutes, then 1, then none. What I really don't like is that when I use the postpone feature, the "skip next" button is right next to it, where one might expect an "accept" button. I'm pretty sure I've been late to work a number of times because of this button's horrible placement.

OH MY GOSH Okay, so I've been having problems with my phone volume turning down while I'm listening to asmr to fall asleep. I finally found out that it was this app that was doing it. It's a great app, the features are great, the alarms make it easy to wake up, and the smart device integration is wonderful! HOWEVER if you are having a similar problem the setting is in the lullaby section. The timeout setting, the default is 15 minutes after which it starts reducing volume. I hope this helps!

2/9 update: something has gone wrong, and now when in sleep mode and the alarm goes off, the alarm screen doesn't show. This means you can't turn the Alarm off. This is a serious problem that results in not using the app. Please fix! Samsung recently updated the software of their phones. Perhaps this is the cause Great features. Good guidance on sleep cadence, chalk full of features.

App updated and reset a Stop Oversleeping setting to default that I must have changed two years ago. Could not for the life of me figure out why my alarm started acting differently every morning. As it turns out, the setting isn't located in the NFC settings for the alarm but is in the CAPTCHA settings under the Main settings. Developer responded quickly and, after submitting a bug report, had an answer for me the next day. Highly customizable, but there is a learning curve.

Doesn't work. I very carefully set the alarm to play a particular thing through Spotify, set the gradual volume increase on, tested it to make sure it'd work (at that point it worked) and set the time to wake up. Next morning, I'm rudely awakened by my speakers at full volume playing something completely different. Tested it again - worked great. Next morning, no alarm. I got up early, watched the time change, and waited for an alarm that would never come. Tried again the next morning - same problems as before except this time, it was playing something that wasn't even on the list of options, which, by the way, is completely messed up. It doesn't fully link to Spotify - instead, it has 31 playlist options (rather, it'll play the first song from one of them) which are completely arbitrary, and the user has no control over what they are. On top of that, the app's features get in the way of each other, and the UI looks like it was designed by a schizophrenic tornado.

Amazing app! It detects our movements, and records any sound/talking/snoring we make as we sleep. It claims to be able to isolate sounds/movements from your spouse. I can't say as I sleep alone. I love that it doesn't record the white noise of my CPAP. 20 bucks gets you some advantages even over a home sleep study by recording your movement and sounds. We're so used to getting apps for free, $20 seems like a lot for an app, yet it's nothing given how important our sleep is.

I'm someone who really struggles to get up on time, and their QR code alarm has, in total seriousness, pretty much fixed that. I put a code on the other floor of my house, and so it forces me to go all the way downstairs to turn off the alarm, truly waking me up in the process. I love this lol. It still has a few bugs go work through, but overall this is an amazing app!

It's NOT (JUST) an alarm. That kept me from looking at it way too long. It's an incredibly in depth analysis tool for sleep tracking that integrates with Google Fit and has a smart watch companion app. Look at the help files. They are concise and explain everything plainly. Sleep is arguably as important as diet (and you literally ARE what you eat). So use this app to strategize and wrestle control of your sleep schedule. A MUST if you have a smart watch. Why else didja get the darn thing?

Edit:Fixed The alarms are extremely unreliable. I use this app exclusively for setting several alarms that only trigger every other week. I set 3 alarms which are 15 minutes apart from each other for every other Wednesday (even). It will sometimes fail to trigger any of the alarms. This morning all the alarms were supposed to trigger but none of them did. I also checked to make sure they were set and they were indeed set. Edit: Fixed the issue by preventing from Samsung putting the app to sleep

Best feature: Skip Next Alarm. When you have a random day off work you can skip the next alarm without affecting your regular schedule, it's awesome! I also love that this has a plugin for Tasker. I am able to trigger my Lifx smart bulb to fade on 10 minutes before the alarm goes off, and it makes a huge difference in how alert I feel when the alarm wakes me up.
