Loftie

A really cool and helpful clock for early weekdays and comfortable weekends!

I am loving my new Loftie alarm clock. It is the key player in my new, healthier sleep routine. I especially love how realistic the sleep sounds are. There are so many sounds to choose from. And the black out feature is great. When I wake up to use the bathroom, I’m no longer looking to see what time it is which used to really disturb my sleep. It is especially nice to wake up in the morning to the two step alarm which gently begins to rouse me a few minutes before the alarm goes off. With my new Loftie, I no longer need to keep my phone by my bedside which means a better night’s sleep. Thank you!

I wanted an ambient lamp for my bedroom at nighttime, and the Loftie lamp doesn’t disappoint. My favourite lighting modes for a relaxing environment are candle and red light. It’s the perfect lighting for me when getting ready for bed. I was drawn to the alarm clock because of the available nature sounds. I love to play nature sounds just before I sleep; it eases me into the night. I also love that you can blackout the alarm clock to keep your room dark. I highly recommend both the lamp and alarm clock.

2023 has been the year of cleaning up my sleep hygiene and the Loftie alarm clock has really been a pivotal purchase in making that happen for me.

Update: despite the developer response, after a month+ of no resolution, I replaced my Loftie with a competitor. —— I’m also having the issue where my alarms are not saving in the app. Support has no idea what’s going on. Their only suggestion was “don’t use the clock to set them, only use the app”. Why? The app is way isn’t working. I have had my Loftie clock for a couple of years now, and it seems like within the last eight months or so they have had a ton of updates that are always causing problems and deleting my settings. I have written into Support to complain about this more than once. Now I can’t even update my alarms. Strongly considering finding a replacement. I really hope they fix this soon.

I like the clock. Bought it specifically for the alarm tones, which are a pleasant way to wake up. The app is terrible and there’s really no excuse these days. Poor, dated UI. They just recently added the ability to set a one-time alarm rather than recurring, which should’ve been there from the start. That doesn’t seem to work properly so I still have to set recurring alarms.

This is a great product to pair with your Loftie Alarm clock. It has a great variety of personalized stories. One critique is that it could provide more alarm options.

The app is good! It does the job and is intuitive. There are also some things that i think need some improvement/i’d love to see available in the future: - the lamp will appear to be on in the app despite not actually being on. It can still be toggled and turned on after a few taps so this isn’t really a huge issue but i also imagine it’s not supposed to do that lol. - sometimes when i have the lamp on at night it will randomly turn off. - the wind down is great but i really wish we could set how long the lamp takes to dim and the color of the light. - a lock screen widget that can turn the lamp on and off easily would be amazing!

I have nearly 50 smart devices in my home across 8 different apps. I am well versed in how to setup, maintain and customize these devices. The Loftie app is one of the worst I have used. It’s confusing to use, extremely complicated and not user friendly. The products are great. I have the alarm clock and two lamps. The programming behind everything has made those products useless sometimes. I have had to reset the WiFi on both lamps nearly a dozen times, sometimes back to back. The WiFi setup process in general is terrible. The app doesn’t remember WiFi networks or passwords so you have to enter it over and over. The alarm setup is way overly complex. You can’t set the sunrise light on the lamps to any color you want-only the colors they choose for you. You also can’t set multiple alarms to different colors. You have to choose one sunrise light and that’s all you get for multiple alarms. So if you wanted to have the lights change to a nice sunrise color in the morning and then a daylight at noon, too bad. Can’t do that. Loftie could have an incredible product if they would fire all of their current devs and relaunch the app under a more advanced UX Developer.

After updates it doesn’t save my alarms and I have to check everyday to reset them. Looks cool overall. Had to remove it from my WiFi to update instead of just using the reset options every other day for a month. Reset does not push an update.
