Kiwake: smart alarm clock App Reviews

... when I get up in the morning, I dont mind getting up and taking a picture. Or playing a short game which engages me for a few seconds or a minute. Heck, it really is the reason why I havent snoozed ever since. Great job. But. If the tolerance for how the foto is matched is this low, I barely managed to take the photo I took the night before - or a few days ago - again. The exact lighting, the exact position - try getting that done in the morning. I confess: getting mad about it really woke me up. But also caused me to delete the app, since my coffee was done and the picture was still not taken - Id like to drink in peace. Another thing: the touch controls of one game stopped working. The result: Notifications and Music started annoying me. And again: thats the annoyance I accept for waking up, but not once I aleady got up. Freakin long story short: love it, but please fix it.

iPhone 4s, iOS 9.1 Bugs to report: - Crash when trying to add more than 2 goals to the list - Crash in the wake up process, before the list of goals should show up - Crash report eMail field comes without a preentered eMail so I was unable to send crash reoprts that way I love the functionality and the overall design of the app. I would love to see some bugfixing updates.

very useful app that wont let you get back to your bed! I would highly recommend it for people who struggle with the snooze option in the morning

This app is for lazy people like me. It actually wakes you up the proper way and motivates you to start your day. Would definitely recommend for anyone having trouble stepping a foot out of bed but actually has to!

It has been 5 weeks since I started using this app, and so far it never let me down. Im a heavy snoozer and this is the best solution I found to really get out of bed!

I started using this app a few weeks ago, and it really helps! I dont snooz anymore, and it helps To wake up. I recommand this app!

Really work well Thanks

Maybe the most efficient alarm clock app. Really hard to go back to sleep after using it :D

Truly effective !

Unfortunately this is completely unusable due to the fact it will NEVER MATCH the pictures. If I could get my money back on an app itd be this one.

Never be late again! What a great app !

Im probably the worst heavy sleeper ever, always had like 8 alarms to make sure Id get up in the morning.. With this app I get up right away, and all the tasks I have to do really help !! It is a complete app with sleep aid also. I cannot say enough how happy I am with my purchase, thanks !!

Theirs no better app out there that gets you out of bed as effectively as Kiwake.

This developer has put together a far more elegant interface and combined the photo functionality with minigames to further ensure youre awake. Affordable, reliable, and most importantly: frequently updated.

Used it this morning and it was the fastest Ive ever been able to wake up! No more stressful mornings from being late!!

I used to (and still do, without this app) wake up super late, no matter what time I went to bed at... This three-step alarm truly works to get me out of bed and awake quickly! Update: the "body" section is extremely unforgiving and kind of unnecessary. I take photo after photo of the same object, even in the same lighting, and it fails most of the time. There should be some forgiveness on this feature, and let you get to the "brain" section when enough failed attempts occur; the brain section is more than enough to wake me up! I literally had to uninstall the app today to get it to stop, because it couldnt recognize the object I had taken a photo of the prior night. Ill return to 5 stars when I can just use the brain and motivation sections instead of having to use the faulty body feature.

Worked great for 3 months, then randomly stopped working. Tried a. bunch of different things and in the end made me late for work 5 times. Looking for a new app now

No matter how tired you are, you just cant not wake up happy with this app!... Hint: Use the Crazy Glue sound. Youll be humming all morning.

I have struggled with snoozing since adolescence (which is more than half my life), and it gets worse when I have big deadlines that prevent me from sleeping enough. Started using the app this week... even though I havent been getting to bed on the routine that gets me up in time... And I still get up. My partner has also noticed the difference in me. Im fine once I get out of bed but that darn snooze button is a terrible lifelong habit that this App is really helping to break. Very customizable. Some of it is a bit glitchy (images and type overlapping and changing alarm time isnt intuitive), which I suspect is due to the IOS 9 upgrades. They openly acknowledge this on one game component... but I also know it takes time to rewrite a program, and the primary functionality is all still there. This is still the best app Ive ever purchased, and the most effective alarm. Thanks, Kiwake team. Well planned and well designed.

Better than sleep cycle, by far. Taking a picture of a specified object insure you get out of bed, even for the heaviest sleepers like me.
