Description
Swap your Alarm clock for a podcast
Start each day with a Podcast on Podcast Alarm.
When the alarm blares you just want to make it stop, hit snooze as fast as possible. What if you actually enjoyed the sound of your alarm clock? What if you actually learnt something from it and started the day with an extra bit of motivation?!
We recommend starting each day with a podcast. With Podcast Alarm you can select whatever kind of podcast you’re into as your morning alarm. We've got everything from business to fitness, and crime thrillers to cooking. Choose from 1000's of podcasts, including of course all the most popular podcasts, The Daily, TED Talks, and Serial for example.
Instead of hitting snooze on your alarm, dozing off again and feeling worse, you can actually listen to something interesting. You can set up multiple alarms for anytime of the day - the drive home, the gym, winding down at night. Plus you can play immediately without setting an alarm like a regular podcast player.

Ratings and Reviews
The only reliable podcast alarm but needs A LOT of improvement!
Alarm will go off reliably every time but everything else about the app needs major improvement. The flaws in the app make it tedious to use and rather redundant as a podcast alarm, let alone a standard alarm clock.
- setting a recurring alarm to play a podcast from the podcast queue ends up setting an (un-recurring) individual alarm for every single podcast in the queue! I ended up with 40+ individual alarms being made automatically and had to edit/delete them all individually!
- the above issue of multiple, non-recurring alarms being automatically set can be avoided by setting the recurring alarm to play a subscription instead. However, the alarm will only play the latest episode in the subscription. This means that until a new episode is released, you wake up to the same podcast episode every single time the alarm goes off!
- once an alarm is set, it cannot be edited. It must be deleted and a new alarm made.
- cannot be synced with the Apple podcast app.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the review, it really helps me see what to be working on. Hopefully I can get you to add more stars with the fix?
- This is how I designed it to work, I think the way it’s presented might not be right. The idea is to download a bunch of episodes then play through them all. When it’s finished there is no more alarms.
- This is an early version of subscriptions I have started working on multiple subscriptions and also a listen to state which will stop it replaying the same show - out soon!
- You are the second to ask about edit, I will move that feature up the todo list
- I have imports on my todo list , might take a bit longer than other suggestions
Would be great to chat you can reach out on Twitter or email.
