Progressive Alarm Clock

I like this app and it’s a great way to wake up but I hate that the volume setting for the app is connected to the general phone volume. I have to fall asleep listening to sleep stories and I put them on really quietly and because the alarm volume is connected, it’s too quiet to wake me up in the morning. Any alarm app should have its own volume control independent of the volume used for any other apps or feature on the phone.

It’s good, but it needs to be turned off when the phone is locked. At the moment you need to unlock the phone and open up the app to turn it off.

Mucks around with master volume of device, even when you don’t touch the volume. Uninstalled.

Basic looking and not the most modern looking interface, but the way it wakes you is perfect… so gentle you don’t even realise you’ve heard the first ‘bong’ but you’re awake… love it

So fed up with so few options when I'm woken by crazy jolting alarms that set my heart racing right at the start of the day... I can't seem to get it right... so I went for this... nice and calming - great idea... Well, I had to catch a flight which meant getting up at 4am. Just as well I set a backup alarm on my iPhone.... coz this one didn't go off! Had I not gone for a backup option I would certainly have missed my flight, and aside from the £6 I have shelled out for this software, I would have been looking at £1000s of business loss on top. I'm a freelance show producer - and I can't afford to sleep in. I would say reliability of the software to actually work is a little higher priority than what sounds it makes. DO NOT rely on this. I have no idea why it didn't trigger - I tested it first and it worked fine in the evening... but leaving it overnight - with the phone on 'sleep' (moon) mode, but the volume on full etc etc - did not trigger. Really unhappy with this! Grrrr!

So good! Waking up slowly and feeling more alert most of the time, but could really do with more options. - setting alarms for the week instead of having to set it every night - weekend mode - customisable pattern option (there doesnt seem to be a 20 min one with long gaps)

I now wake up to a soft alarm rather than some crazy loud alarm making me jump

Love this alarm and have been using it for years. Might be an idea to update it for "dark mode" on the new OLED phones by telling it to ignore "invert colors".

If the iPhone is in silent mode the alarm doesn’t override and chime. App has to be left open in background to work, so if you accidentally close it while closing all open apps, as many of us do, the alarm is cancelled. No functionality to preset alarms for the week. (ie weekdays chime at ... weekends chime at ...) Has the makings of a decent alarm but at the minute it’s god awful, and I’m amazed it’s a paid app.

I feel I found my personalised alarm app.
