Alarmy - Alarm Clock & Sleep 4+

Does it job. Perfectly

Very good alarm app. Since standard pre-installed alarm app on iPhone almost got me fired from my job, I have decided to look for an alternative. And I found this, and I couldn’t be more happy. If this app doesn’t make you get up from bed, nothing will. I encourage you to try it if you have early morning issues :)

No sound from the app

I like the app but i think it does not handle the iphone sound settings. So when it works - works perfectly, loud and many levels of difficulties to switch off the alarm - does the job like literally nothing else before.
But sometimes something happens with the settings and the sound suddenly stops working at all. It only vibrates for i.e. 1.5 h, so you cane wake up and realize you are totally late for work. And its not the matter of terminating the app by accident, because I always set alarm time before going to bed. I think what usually helped was reinstalling the app, but still - it is deffinitely not failproof and through past 2 years it happened already multiple times. Happened just now, the alarm was set to 6 and here we are at 7:40. Thank got I woke up myself.

Developer Response ,

Hi violline-1234, this is June​ from Alarmy team.
I'm genuinely sorry for the trouble you went through.


 
### 1️⃣ Gist
Due to iOS policy, Alarmy cannot make a sound when the conditions below are fulfilled **at the same time.**

 
1. Alarmy is removed from the background AND
2. Your phone is in silence mode / Focus mode.

 
When Alarmy is removed from the background, the app will send endless system notifications to replace the original alarm.

 
**So please make sure not to let your phone in silent mode / Focus mode.**

 
If you turn the silent mode off, then even if the operation of Alarmy is terminated by iOS, you will be able to get help to wake up from the system notification sound.

 
### 2️⃣ How to let Alarmy ring

 
Also, please remember the following to let you wake up with the ringtones from Alarmy:

 
1. Swipe off other apps from the list and open Alarmy before going to bed.
2. Don't forget to relaunch the Alarmy after the OS updates or app updates as it would be terminated from the background after those updates.

Really cool but also some room for improvement ;)

The App is really nice and offers a really cool variety of features in toll-free mode. Really very very nice.
One thing I would love to enhance is to enable separate volume adjustment between the alarm and sleep sounds. Right now it’s one vol level for all, so when volume is 100% (definitely good for waking up) and you want the ‘light rain’ sleep sound you last less than a minute and turn it off. It’s like lying at the foot of a waterfall. Literally. Taking the volume down makes the alarm clock completely ineffective in turn.
I had to end up using just the sleep sounds and the alarm in a separate app.
Food for thought.
