Kiwake: smart alarm clock App Reviews

This app has saved me countless times. It is so helpful, more so than any other alarm app.

Okay so the first week I used this, I had to set a back up alarm because sometimes it would sound and other times it would just vibrate. Then I realized what I needed to do. Once you put it in night mode, leave the app. And close your phone. If you dont leave the app, the alarm wont sound for some stupid reason. This is why it gets 4 stars from me because it works well enough now that the secret has been unlocked. Good day every body and hopefully theyll fix it to where you dont HAVE to leave the app for the alarm to sound in the morning.

If I could give this app more stars I would. Im not a fan of reviewing apps, but Kiwake has helped me so much it deserves it. To begin the wake up process you must press start. This is the only way to make the noise stop at first. You go through the cool down process and then you have to get up to take a picture of something far away from your bed. Thats where the honor code comes in and you have to tell the truth. If theres inactivity, the alarm starts again. After the picture is a match, you play a minigame. You can adjust the difficulty settings and number of rounds the night before. Finally, it gives you a list of things to motivate you to start the day right. Overall, it wakes up your body, brain, and it gives you a fresh start each day. A++ Kiwake. Youve done wonders for me.

I love Kiwake! As a nursing student starting clinicals I needed to find something that could force me to get up at 4:30-5 and Kiwake did that for me. There are some bugs but overall this app has been awesome! Ive always been a snoozer/ set 5 alarms to wake but not anymore thanks to Kiwake!

The sounds are pleasant & yes, it forces you awake

Day one, and Im out of bed on time! Works well, great user interface.

I used this app 4 times. On my last motivation step couldnt swipe right to get the alarm to stop so I deleted the app. Sad I wasted $2.99

For the first time in my life I am regularly waking up on schedule! Its a brilliant idea, but there are a few bugs to fix. If I wake up before the alarm and turn it off, it congratulates me, but 10 minutes after its telling me I overslept. Also, if the alarm goes off unexpectedly, it is impossible to turn off. I mean, I get that they want it to be difficult to disable, but sometimes you end up at an early meeting and youre like "hold on, I gotta play this game before my phone stops making this noise..." Please include a fail safe version! Im a responsible adult who benefits from this idea, but I also need to be able to disarm it from time to time.

I love this app. I was a snooze addict, always running late, and this app actually works. The only problem is the app has more bugs than a pond in the middle of the woods.

I absolutely love this app! I have to wake up at 2:30am for work and had so much trouble before, but with this alarm I am wide awake. Even when I feel like going back to sleep, I cant! Im already too wide awake to go back to sleep lol. Best money Ive spent on an app and Im tell everyone about it.

I didnt really believe the other reviews. I was wrong. This app changed my mornings and broke me of my snoozing habit.

Ive been using this app for about two weeks now and I havent snoozed since! Instead of wasting my time pressing the snooze button in the morning, I either have restful sleep or Im starting my day! It is so refreshing. The app works properly as long as you have it on "night mode" when you lock your phone for the night. I think the reason it doesnt go off for some people is because they skip this important step. Its a fantastic app!! 5 stars for sure!

This app ABSOLUTELY wakes me up and is a life saver. However, it often glitches and once Ive completed all of the morning tasks, it makes me do them all again. It displays a "looks like you didnt wake up on time" message every single time I open the app. Even if I did wake up using the app that morning. Very much worth it but definitely needs to be updated.

I loathe mornings and the snooze button was very active! I could never get out of bed. This app is life changing. I really love it and recommend it to everyone!

I too never review apps or really anything - but this is too good. Prior to this app, I had big goals for my mornings but despite having high hopes, I would snooze for over an hour - turning the alarm off every five or so minutes and then scrambling to get ready for work and get out the door. I have been using this app for about three weeks now. Thanks to this new alarm, I have a solid morning work out routine and am even able to do an hour of work before my commute to the office. One of the best things Ive noticed, is Im less tired throughout the day - the whole day! Craziness. Making coffee at home and eating breakfast are in the foreseeable future - never thought I would be able to say that. I know others have had a hard time with the app - in regard to games not starting and etc. I,(knock on wood) have not had any bad luck. My only qualms with the app is 1) I want to throw it across the room because getting up is tough lol and 2) it sometimes says I didnt wake up or didnt use the alarm when I in fact did - this only matters if you do the #nosnoozechallenge. Not a big loss, but mildly annoying. Five stars nonetheless. Thank you for giving me new healthy habits.

This really does work! I cant say how long Ive looked for an alarm that actually wakes me up. This one is the solution! Only problems Ive seen is sometime it wigs out. The first week my husband started using it, it wouldnt stop even though he did all the steps. He had to delete the app from his phone to make it shut up. Its wigged out once on me but not that bad.

Gets my snoozing butt out of bed on a regular basis! The picture recognition didnt work correctly for a while, and I echo what others have said about the games not "shuffling", which is annoying. Still effective though!

Completely irritating, one hundred percent effective so far over 2 weeks of use.

Ive tried so many others, but none have worked. When I ran across this one, the reviews helped me decide to buy it. I rarely buy apps, but its well worth the cost. Im not a morning person. Finally an alarm that helps me get up.

I love how this app wakes you up in 3 different ways: body, mind, and thoughts!
