FreakyAlarm — Games & Barcodes

Great concept but I didn’t realize until after I purchased that you have to leave your phone open or the app open which is terrible for so many reasons. I reallllllllly wanted to write a happy review! Ugh!

I was so excited for this app and it even worked initially. But i have to keep my phone password locked for work and privacy regulations, and i quickly became clear i could not be trusted to remember to change my settings every-night and every morning. So i had to stop using. Please find a way around this.

The alarm is great when it wants to work, I have to uninstall the app every so many weeks when it stops working to get it to work again

This never fails to wake me ip however you can easily delete the app or cheat the volume down

What kind of alarm clock doesn’t start to sound until it’s been going off for 20 minutes? If it’s set for 6:45, sound won’t start til after 7. It shouldn’t matter what the priority score it, the sound should go off when it’s supposed to.

I don’t even know how the freakywrite works. There’s no explanation for the games. Had to delete it. Can someone explain to me how each game is played?

I downloaded this app to help me wake up in the morning without being able to snooze or reset my alarm 7 times. It’s a good idea for an alarm app but the alarm sounds provided are NOT what I want to start my day with. I don’t want to be woken up by a shrill panic alarm then have to solve math problems while the sounds of machine guns and screaming people go off! You can disable the ones you don’t want but you are required to have at least ten and there are not ten calm enough to have as a morning alarm. I would love this app if it were a little more anxiety friendly.

I set alarms for many different tasks in my life and I was excited to try an app with alarms I could NOT ignore. The concept here is absolutely excellent but one thing makes this app unusable for me. I struggle with numbers and have never been able to solve any of the math problems with a loud alarm blaring in my face. Developers: please make it possible to choose which games to include in the alarm! I would love to use this app if, this were possible I would certainly rate it much higher. Regardless, I thank the developers and appreciate their hard work in creating this.

I have a horrible habit of use my snooze too many times, and I also learn to turn off my alarms both in my phone and standard alarm clocks, while sleeping and with no memory of having done it. I’ve tried moving my alarms and trying different times and sounds every day but nothing FORCED me awake enough to not sleepwalk my way to snoozing 10 time. It won’t let you just close the app to shut it up, you really have to solve the puzzles to make it stop. It’s great! This app is great, you can choose the level of difficulty and I printed a QR code that I must scan across my house after solving a couple puzzles. The highest difficulty can be kinda tough wide awake, and while half asleep and confused in the morning these things are the right kind of frustrating, enough to get me truly awake. Anyone needing a better alarm clock that forces you awake by forcing you to use your brain and possibly physically move somewhere to scan a bar/qr code you printed and put up somewhere away from your bed... get this app!! GET THIS APP!!!

Deleted it immediately after realizing there is virtually no customization for what the alarm does. The games are a nightmare if you have dyslexia or any vision problems, having to pick out moving upside down numbers or repeat random number/letter combos with the right case. At least it was only two bucks.
