Rise & Shine Lite

This app sounded like what I was looking for, but then I woke up an hour after my set alarm...no light came on, no sound. Not sure what else I need to configure, but this didn’t work like I thought it would or it says it would. Maybe you need to keep your phone unlocked and on for it to work, but who does that? My phone locks after a couple of seconds...

Tried to test it and it did not work. No sound no light at the set time.

Can’t get the sound or lights to work, even leaving the app open and turning off the sleep mode on my iPhone...

Nothing calming about it - your flashlight blaring wakes you up. Why is that’s good thing?! There’s No fade UP option on the lite version. Not buying the other version to test it either. Disappointed.

Everything was changed and I hate it. I liked it just the way it was and I am frustrated that it was upgraded without my choosing. Every setting is different and more complicated, if I keep this app I would need to get used to a new sound (don't like the new wind chime sound), take extra steps to set/turn on the alarm, adjust to different lighting/fade in, and lastly, the "snooze" and "cancel" buttons used to be different colors and farther apart-- now they are written smaller, are the same color and are closer together--making it easier to confuse the two when half asleep/just waking up. Very disappointed. I used to love this app and told others to try it. Now I'm thinking of deleting it :(

I'd love an app with a dawn simulator for treating Seasonal Affective Disorder - this isn't it. I don't like any of the sounds so I am deleting it.

The screen stays lit to a certain degree all night!!! This defeats the purpose of awakening peacefully from a dark room into gradual light. Don't install this app unless you are looking for a night light.

Almost a good app but the screen stays on and there is Avery bright icon visible. Defeats the purpose of having a dark environment gradually light up to wake you.

Works great for me. Most mornings, it will wake me up about 5 minutes before I am scheduled to, but in a very gradual and easy way. On mornings when I am not facing in the direction of my phone, the option to use the gentle sounds of birds chirping in the distance works just as well. Can't imagine having to go back to an alarm clock. I only wish it would run in the background so that my screen could go completely dark.

I love this app. Wakes me slowly and more naturally. I don't use the sound and I have it plugged in next to the bed. I activate it just before going to sleep. Works as well as dawn simulators which are super expensive.
