Rise Alarm Clock

It was a good app before last update. After updating the app simply crashes on load screen. Tried removing and reinstalling it - still no luck. It's really annoying.

Cool and very useful app! Thanks!

Please fix the snooze. I still use this app every day even without snooze. Also please fix progressive sound volume increase. That was my favorite feature.

I don't get it

I was really looking forward to something more customizable than Apples app…but it won’t alarm at all. I set it and nothing…

The interface was so slick as to be complete opaque. I couldnt figure it out. I want my $3 back. But it was pretty enough, so 2 stars.

Simple and easy to use. The gradual increase in volume though doesn’t seem to work or is just poorly made. Other apps have an increase in volume by time, much more useful

I had been on the Android platform for the last 10+ years. After switching back to ios a few days ago, I quickly realized I needed more functionality than the stock Clock app could deliver. I had to wade through the usual laundry list of sub par apps with reviews that had played the app store system. This app had some honest reviews. One issue I had was accessing the settings in the app. I emailed the dev and he responded within an hour. I was not using the correct swipe to access settings. Problem resolved. In general, if you have trouble with any alarm clock app, if you contact the dev before slamming the app you may have better luck. Ios has programmatic limitations that make it impossible for any alarm app to work in some configurations. It may not be the dev's fault at all. RTFM.

So I’ve used the app for years. A couple of years ago I had to go without an iPhone for awhile but as soon as I got a new one I downloaded my good old trusty rise app for my alarm. At first it kept crashing so I gave up and abandoned it. Then I figured a few months later I would give it a second try. I was pleased to see that the crashing bug was fixed but unfortunately the updated app is missing the one thing that makes it stand out on its own…. The progressive alarm. Sure. It’s still an option but now the app can not longer run in the background like it use to. That means that now can you not set the alarm and then go about doing other things on your phone but you can’t even turn your screen off when you go to bed without compromised the progressive tone. This means the app must be open and your screen/phone settings set to “never lock”. This is completely ridiculous since the whole point of the alarm is that is suppose to wake you up, implying that you somehow manage to fall asleep every single night with your phone screen open, unlocked, and bright for you and everyone else to see all night long, wasting battery. The alarm will still go off if you close the app or lock your phone for that matter but you forfeit the progressive tone option by doing so, which again, is the best part of this app and one of the only alarm app with this feature. Kinda ruins the soft building up of chimes to slow rouse your from your dreams. So I guess I’ll just have to give up on this app again and maybe try again in another few months to see if they ever figure out how to get the progressive feature to function in the background like it use to. A real shame bc I really use to adore this app

I have missed rise. It is the best. I love waking up to the camping bird sound
