Seemed promising until I got to the end of the introduction and was required to try the 4 day Premium trial to use the app at all. No, thanks. I don't do trials or rent apps I will never own. Ever. I don't have fast internet or an income, so the app is unlikely to work out well for me anyway. I would also never use the alarms because jumping through hoops to turn them off is a pain and sometimes creates humiliating situations. I experienced that with similar alarm apps.

This app works as intended. The only reason for the negative review is the intrusive full-screen unskippable ads that occur often after an alarm ends. It's not every time, but it is very annoying when it does. Paying $60 for lifetime, or $25 A YEAR, just to "remove ads" is absolutely crazy. I know, I know, you get "more features" and all with the paid version, but let's be honest it's just to remove ads.

I have been using this app for almost 10 years and loved it until 6/14 when an update went through overnight. When my alarm went off, the sleeping sheep updated and was impossible. The only way I could turn the alarm off was to uninstall the app. I lost all of that history since I couldn't back it up, and discovered any backup I did have would require upgrading $$ to import. Very bummed user. I had to drop you from a 5 to a 4 star for that.

[UPDATE July 29,2025] It's rare to find an app that's well maintained 7 years later, but here we are! Great app, great support, great features! Less expensive than the cheapest Walmart alarm clock. [Dec 21, 2018] This is the perfect sleep tracking and alarm app for light and heavy sleepers. Great features, well maintained app. I often fall back asleep, so the alarm challenges and awake check are perfect for me. (It's a notification 5 min after alarm, dismiss or get another round of alarm)

Downgrading from 5 to 3 stars bc ads. I have used this app for years and loved it! Recently the sleep tracking started only working every other day on the free version - ok, fair; I get holding back some features for the paid version. Now ads have started playing after I turn off an alarm. That's a hard NO. I was considering upgrading to lifetime premium, but I honestly find the insertion of full page ads after an alarm so gross that I'll probably just stop using the app. Rethink your choices.

We spend a third of our life sleeping. Shouldn't we do what we can to make the best use of that time? If you're looking to track your sleep and fuss over every metric, this is the app for you. Or if you just want a great alarm that's easy to configure, this is the app for you! I've used this app for many years and have probably suggested it to more people than any other app. There are so many options, yet somehow it is easy to use!

Trying to track with Garmin... UPDATE - Developers contacted me immediately and after trading emails, resolved my issue. I was on an old ver that wasn't updating. UPDATE UPDATE - Above is an abbreviated summary of an old old post and update. I just wanted to add that years later, I still find this to be hands-down, the best alarm app available. The app is polished and full featured without being crowded and the best support ever!

I've been using the free version of this app, particularly the alarm that requires you to scan a barcode, to reliably get myself out of bed for years. It's very customizable, with a lot of free alarm options and even some free sleep tracking features. Highly recommend for anyone who struggles with managing their sleep like I do.

The last update made the actigraph bars all 2x wide, so they overlap. It's still usable, sort of, but, yeah. One other complaint I have is that I'm pretty sure I have decade-old data that it doesn't show. I have backups (love that I can export my own!), but it would be super handy not to merge exported datasets and make my own graphs.

I've used this app for many years and really appreciate the data tracking it provides. I like the Silent alarm feature that allows me to wake up without disturbing my spouse and the wakeup games ensure you aren't just hitting that snooze button in your sleep. The bedtime reminder are also helpful for getting consistency in your nightly sleep and being able to set up an array of alarms for what ever your routine may be is fantastic.
