FreakyAlarm — Games & Barcodes

Alarms keep going off after you solve the puzzles multiple times. Even if you exit the app.

I love this app, it’s literally the only thing I have found that helps me get out of bed but it keeps going off after I’ve solved the puzzle.

Latest version of this app per App Store was born 4 years ago. Since roughly iOS version 17 (read: Oct 2024) the alarms won’t stop and adhere to their schedules once you resolve the puzzle but will go off again within minutes if not seconds. The only ‘workaround’ is to go into the app menu and reset all alarms. Dev needs to address this ‘bug’ which seems to be some incompatibility with newer iOSes. I was a bit disappointed that after months of this occurring and many complaints and lowered ratings the dev hasn’t corrected the issue. It is a nice app in every regard but doesn’t seem to be kept current.

This is a good alarm for me because it’s persistent and annoying, which is necessary for me to get up. However it has started going off repeatedly even when I have resolved it. So I go through all the steps to turn it off and then it immediately goes off again. This continues on and on and on! I contacted support and the only help that they gave me was to hit reset, reschedule and then reschedule alarms. If I am even a little sleepy I can’t do this fast enough because it resumes going off only ten seconds after I have resolved it. I was hoping that was a temporary fix while they solved something on their end but it has been months and I still have to do this. Even if I sleep through it because I accidentally left it on silent and it tells me I missed the alarm it will still go off again if I don’t do this. I am tried of racing to reschedule every single time!! This needs to be fixed.

Even though I didn’t like some of the sounds, it was an effective alarm, however, since I updated my phone to iOS 11, it doesn’t always go off and then it keeps going off, even if I have done all the things to turn it off. After going through it 6 times this morning, and even turning my phone off and on, I deleted it.

Everything was great until this morning. Alarm will not stop repeatedly going off.

I am a long time user who bought this app. I had always been able to rely on it to get me up even when it was more resurrection than waking up. However iOS 18 has caused the app to never shut off. I have tried the developers options of resetting etc but it simply doesn’t work. Very sad, I wish the dev would correct whatever is causing the malfunction, but for now, stay away.

Newest iOS, no matter how many times you solve it resets and goes off again. Only fix I found is uninstalling the app. Essentially it’s broken in its current form.

Used this for years and loved it, but with iOS 18 alarms just go off over and over.

After solving and closing, the alarm will continue. Only way seems to be to delete the app.
