Rise & Shine

There are too many things that need fixing and I would think that the developer would want a better product. When you wake up during the midnight hour the clock do any read 12:30 (or whatever the minutes are). It just reads :30. The fade up when the alarm goes off doesn't actually fade up. It wakes you up very loudly. It's not all relaxing like it is supposed to be. I do find the light very effective though.

How do i get a refund?

Took me a little bit to figure out how to use thing but I really like it. I had been looking at $100 dawn simulator alarm clocks on Amazon so went to see if they had some apps to check out. Found this one and gave it a while. The only trick was finding out that after saving the alarm I set I had to hit the alarm "button" on the bottom right to put it in alarm mode. Like all the options in the $2 version so went ahead and got it. Thanks guys!

I wanted to like this. I had a dawn simulator once and miss it, but it doesn't really do the trick. Also, landscape mode is upside down for most iPhone cases with a stand built in. I wrote the author, who promptly ignored me. Oh, well. I'll keep looking...

I like how flexible this app is. I can set it so that there's very very little light coming off at night. ( I really prefer sleeping in the DARK). I can for a gentle awakening with a fade in light. But I could I also just as easily have it roust me from a coma if I needed it. :-) Great app.

I liked the previous version of this app. it worked well for me. the new version seems to offer more functionality but has some bugs. Any type of input that requires scrolling through selections gets stuck on the selection window. For example when I try to set the fade in time I can scroll through ‘disabled’ all the way to ’60 min’ but that is all. It doesn’t select my choice and return me to the previous menu. the only way to regain functionality is to kill the app and restart it.

When using light feature all your other notifications through and wake you up. To go through and disable each one would be crazy. The do not Disturb will not work either because background is on and NOTS get through. Turning your phone on vibrate negates the alarm. Not great until you fix it.

Better apps are available for free. Poe selection of tones. Must disable pass lock. Screen brightness doesn't gradually increase. Strongly recommend against this one.

I just started using this about a week ago. I love it's function. It's great. However, it has some annoying quirks. It resets the brightness to high every time, even with the screen dimming disabled. You must keep the phone unlocked. So I set a backup alarm anyways. Personally, I also think the interface is not all that great. But, again, the main function is there.

Gradual light increase and gradual sound increase eliminates harsh alarm wake up. I set 15 mins for light and 10 for sound, and wake up much more easily.
