Good alarm but needs fixing
Feb 24

WolfLady74
This is a good alarm for me because it’s persistent and annoying, which is necessary for me to get up. However it has started going off repeatedly even when I have resolved it. So I go through all the steps to turn it off and then it immediately goes off again. This continues on and on and on! I contacted support and the only help that they gave me was to hit reset, reschedule and then reschedule alarms. If I am even a little sleepy I can’t do this fast enough because it resumes going off only ten seconds after I have resolved it. I was hoping that was a temporary fix while they solved something on their end but it has been months and I still have to do this. Even if I sleep through it because I accidentally left it on silent and it tells me I missed the alarm it will still go off again if I don’t do this. I am tried of racing to reschedule every single time!! This needs to be fixed.

Anxiety inducing alarm sounds

I downloaded this app to help me wake up in the morning without being able to snooze or reset my alarm 7 times. It’s a good idea for an alarm app but the alarm sounds provided are NOT what I want to start my day with. I don’t want to be woken up by a shrill panic alarm then have to solve math problems while the sounds of machine guns and screaming people go off!You can disable the ones you don’t want but you are required to have at least ten and there are not ten calm enough to have as a morning alarm.I would love this app if it were a little more anxiety friendly.

Bug in current version
Mar 3

Latest version of this app per App Store was born 4 years ago. Since roughly iOS version 17 (read: Oct 2024) the alarms won’t stop and adhere to their schedules once you resolve the puzzle but will go off again within minutes if not seconds. The only ‘workaround’ is to go into the app menu and reset all alarms. Dev needs to address this ‘bug’ which seems to be some incompatibility with newer iOSes. I was a bit disappointed that after months of this occurring and many complaints and lowered ratings the dev hasn’t corrected the issue. It is a nice app in every regard but doesn’t seem to be kept current.

Issue with iOS 13

Love this app. It has helped me get up for work so many times.However, updated to iOS 13 last night. This morning, FreakyAlarm went a little crazy. Alarm went off every 5 seconds or so. Second alarm started alerting while resolving first alarm. Turned all alarms off, no change (badges still showed with prior active alarm numbers). Killed the app, no change. Rebooted phone, no change. After 20 minutes of this, I finally disabled notifications, sounds, and alerts. This has at least stopped the persistent announcements. Not sure if an iOS update would resolve this, or if an app update is needed.Please get this resolved, I need this app.Updated to 13.1 still have the same issues.

Unfortunately, a major iOS update can sometimes cause unexpected notifications. I suggest to restart your device and then open FreakyAlarm > "Settings" tab > Reset > Reschedule Alarms. Thanks for using FreakyAlarm and your feedback!

+ New Advanced settings to enable/disable app icon badge number or auto-dim screen when face-down. - Fix am/pm format when in lowercase. Thanks to Younes M. A. al Samman for reporting the issue. - Small fixes and improvements. By the way, App Store reviews are very helpful to us. If you think FreakyAlarm is worthy, would you mind taking a moment to write a nice review? We'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks for using FreakyAlarm! :) Questions? Suggestions?
