Unreliable! Please Fix!
The concept of this alarm is great if they fix some MAJOR issues. Until they do, dont waste your money.
For one they HAVE to figure out how to get the alarm to ring if the phone is on silent!! Every other alarm app can do this! You are supposed to put the app in "Night Mode", a button you start after setting your alarm time (which I did) but then I read my book in my kindle app and I guess that deactivated it?! So this morning I woke up and hour and a half late!! An alarm is useless if it is SILENT! Usually I would have a backup alarm, (which I had last week when this exact same thing happened) but really what is the point of a great alarm app if you need a backup?!
So after I woke myself up today I had an annoying pop up that tells me my alarm is going off in Kiwake (no sound), when I pressed it took me to the app and nothing happened, it just came back on my screen every 30 seconds until I had to completely delete my preset alarm!
When the alarm does work the concept is great. Having to get out of bed to take a picture or read a barcode as a first step really forces you to start waking up. The problem here is that unless the picture and barcode reader are under EXACTLY the same light they will refuse to read properly and instead of waking up in a good mood you will wake up frustrated and angry... Not a good start! I had to DELETE the app completely earlier this week just to get the thing to stop! So be careful what your picture looks like and what light it is under!
I know the cost of the app isnt huge but I am wishing I saved my money here. I just cannot have an app that will wake me up sometimes! I need an alarm that is reliable! PLEASE fix this!
