Alarmy Alarm Clock&SleepSound 4+

no more setting 10 alarms to only *maybe* wake up

I absolutely love this app. I cannot remember a time in my life where I would actually wake up and stay up. I opted to pay for the very reasonable premium subscription after I tested out the free trial. The physical challenges force me to wake up and get out of bed, in addition to starting my day off with some nice exercise. Potentially my favorite feature, amongst all the great options and settings, is the ability to select your alarm tone to ‘random.’ If I hear the same alarm every morning, my brain will eventually tune it out, and it won’t wake me up anymore. Even the most obnoxious alarm tone Apple offers (you know the one) will not do anything. But with the random option, a different alarm tone will play every morning, and will only get louder and louder. If you decide to go for premium, a great feature is the ‘wake up check’ where they will prompt you to make sure you’re still awake, and you have to select ‘yes’ within a certain amount of time, otherwise you have to do your whole wake up mission again. There’s also great alarm ‘power ups’ that you can choose from if you need extra motivation to get up in the morning. I never thought I would see the day where one alarm wakes me up, but I’m glad to finally be here. If you’re a chronic late sleeper, there’s not an app or alarm I can recommend more.

reliable but kinda weird

i’ve been using this app since high school after my apple alarm randomly stopped going off some mornings making me miss the bus. it was extremely helpful for those early mornings after staying up way too late to finish an overdue assignment…it has extra loud alarm options that get louder the longer you let them go off, and they’re so annoying that you’ll literally do anything (including getting up) to make it stop. it also has lots of different options for wake up missions, such as memory games and math problems you have to complete before you can shut off the alarm. overall it is an extremely reliable alarm app, as long as it is open in the background of your apps it will go off.
however after the recent update the app has introduced morning messages after the alarm is turned off…it will pop up with something encouraging to start off your day. they started pretty normal, things like “you can do this” or “believe in yourself”, but i think they’re trying too hard to be creative because they have been almost creepy the last few mornings. a couple days ago it read “don’t push yourself too hard to be happy :)” and this morning it said “i’m going to miss you.” what’s going on? is alarmy closing their app? am i going somewhere? like idk is it just me or are these lovely good morning messages becoming rather ominous? needless to say they are very confusing at 5:30AM, but also somewhat entertaining because i never know what i’m gonna get.

Only alarm I use// EDIT: HARD OF HEARING

I am a very deep sleeper with morning classes. I have trouble waking up in the mornings and will often reset or turn off alarms completely without being aware of what I’m doing. The variety of the options helps wake me in the morning, I start usually with a shake alarm, then a math one, then finally a barcode I scanned somewhere in the kitchen. It forces me to wake up at the math alarm because I am terrible with math, but the added benefit is my math skills are getting strong because I keep having to up the difficulty. Thanks so much, you’ve made my professors hate me significantly less since I can almost now make it to class on time.

EDIT/UPDATE: I had my hearing checked six months ago and found out from a doctor I have Hearing Loss. (Mild/Moderate but still significant for not knowing till age 26) Since getting my hearing aids my life has changed in so many ways I couldn’t have imagined, there’s so much sound to hear! It’s shocking to me, but makes sense, but also is just so wild to hear; it’s changed my life. But it has also made sense why this alarm is the ONLY alarm I can trust to wake me up fully since I now know sound alone is unreliable, I need mental engagement and stimulation to wake up fully without causing more damage to my tender little ears. It’s made me just appreciate this alarm more and more as it’s the only one of its kind I can seem to find.
