Edited November 16 I am really disappointed that an app I have used and loved for years is suddenly nearly tripling the subscription price. I will not be continuing my subscription. Original: Love this app! Very cute animations, easy to use, does everything I need it to.

Update: Downgraded to 3 stars due to recurrent, intrusive "achievement" notifications. I'm over 50 years old, I don't need an "atta boy" for sleeping. Other than that, it's pretty good. My other criticism is that I have to use it graphical picker to set the wake time. If I could use a keypad to input my wake time, it would be 5 (now 4) stars.

Okay, but it needs more puzzles :( and so laggy Update 2023: I love this app. It's better now, and I really wish they had more puzzles other than math. Good idea would be matching puzzles, and also, when you start the puzzle, if the volume can be lowered as a feature, that would be great. I hate pressing and holding a mute button while I do math

I used to love this app. I have used it for years and it's been great. BUT.... this week it stopped working. My alarms were set but never went off until I woke up late and opened my phone up, which defeats the purpose. I uninstalled and reinstalled and tried it again with a test alarm a minute later. Sound worked but no way to snooze or end alarm. NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF!! I tried the reinstall twice, same issue. Had to uninstall. I will miss my sun and moon every morning. Bummer.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL UI AND EFFECTIVE ALARMS. I'd pay anything for a live wallpaper of your Nightstand Mode :3 Edit: when my alarm goes off, it never opens to the "sun" screen where I can swipe it up or down to snooze or turn off the alarm. To do either of those things, I have to go to my notifications panel and snooze or dismiss it from there. It's annoying but mostly sad because I never get to see the cute sun like I used to. Edit: I changed the notification settings. I can see the sun now!:)

Does what it says, has some bells and whistles, interface is pretty simple and easy. I thought I chose a peaceful tone but it was actually scary when it came time to wake up LOL -- you can choose from audio files on your device. App opens when it rings unless you're doing something on your phone, but you can still access via notification. Some features and options only available on premium version, $5.

It's a great app, I upgraded to the premium through the free app! I would like to request two features. If you could allow us to shuffle/random play the custom music we import into the app that would be fantastic. It would help me not get used to the alarm. I wouldn't want the default alarms included. The second is the ability to set puzzles and vibration on by default. Like the ability to say you want the easiest math problem on and for the alarm to vibrate by default when you create an alarm.

The concept is really cute but it's been less than reliable so far. I paid for the app so I could turn in math problems and stop accidentally turning it off. Since purchasing the app and enabling the math problems I have noticed some issues: 1. the alarm continues to get LOUDER while you are trying to solve the problem which disturbs my husband. 2. Solving the math problem and dismissing the alarm doesn't turn it off; it then goes off again at least twice before I have to force stop the app.

I downloaded this when Timely quit updating. Not a bad app, except for a few things. 1. sometimes it doesn't go off and my backup alarm (5 min later) is what wakes me. 2. No timer or stopwatch, which Timely had and I need. 3. Swiping the moon isn't intuitive for me, so I always forget which way snoozes the alarm and which way stops it. For now I'm going to use the native Android clock for my alarm; with some updates I hope to be able to use this again soon.

The weather for this app is clearly broken. The temperature is generally correct. However, I've been using it for 3-4 months now and it's said it's rainy every single day. Not sure what the problem is but there's only one weather provider available so I can't switch to see if that's the issue. Dev was unresponsive when emailed for suggestions.
