Transform your mornings with light - Glow Alarm uses your screen and flashlight to brighten your room before the alarm sounds, so you feel awake and refreshed, not startled. • Gradually lights up your bedroom - wake up naturally, backed by science. • Color temperature gradually warms from red to orange hues, mimicking sunrise. • Set a light offset (how long before your alarm the screen and torch light up). • Apple Music integration - choose any song from Apple Music as your alarm sound. • Upload any mp3 file as your alarm sound.

Downloaded this as an alternative to buying a new sunrise alarm clock. This is good BUT it has to be the ONLY app open in order to work. I tried using this alongside a sleep tracking app and the alarm didn’t work with the sleep tracking app also running. I can either run TWO devices or forego this or the sleep tracker. Either option is annoying. The built in alarm sounds are nostalgic but not loud enough (I sleep a bit heavy) and I can’t use a ringtone instead, only a full song.

Developer Response
Hi, thanks for your feedback. A new update (2.0) has been released which addresses some of this. The alarm will now act more like a native iOS alarm. This means that, if you accidentally leave Glow Alarm or the phone locks overnight, the alarm will still sound. It also guarantees bypassing through do not disturb or any other focus mode (just like a normal iOS Clock alarm will).For alarm sounds, more will be added soon, but in the meantime there is a new option to use the default iOS alarm ringtone. There is also functionality to upload any mp3 of your choice.Note however, that if you want the sunrise light features, the app will need to be left open overnight. Try enabling the ‘sleep screen blackout’ feature; this will black out the screen, meaning battery usage is minimal and the screen appears black until wake time.

Love the idea, could not get it to work. I allowed the app across all focus features, turned my sound on, everything I could think of. The alarm never went off. Sound or light.

Developer Response
Could you email me via the settings in the app, and share more detail (perhaps a screen recording) of how you set the alarm? It does work for other people, but if there truly is a bug then I’d like to fix it and make it work for you!
