Loftie 4+

Impressive — but I have some feedback (devolopers please read)

Highly impressive, and a stunning experience. The Loftie Smart Alarm clock has such a variety of sounds and playlists. On the other hand, I have a few suggestions that wouldn’t be too hard to follow through with. For one, a little bit of animation between different menu items on the clock would make the UI and display feel much more intuitive. It would also be great if there was a option to connect your Loftie Smart Lamp to your clock so that we could control our lamps directly from our clocks to further eliminate the use of screens. My final suggestion is that we can upload custom audio files to our clocks to play music tracks, ebooks, and other meditation tracks. Honestly, it really wouldn’t be that hard, and I would hope a company like Loftie would do something to work to add these suggestions. Is this possible? A response to this would be great, thank you! All in all, amazing product!

Thank you for your feedback. We're working on the lamp-clock integration. We've certainly considered the ability to upload files and will note your input.

New clock

I haven’t used it for its full capabilities but as for the multiple alarms it has worked great.
Every morning before bed I had to ensure the volume on my iPhone wasn’t too low or painfully loud. Having the Loftie I know it will go off on my different scheduled alarms (surprisingly hard feature to find in other clocks).
I work M-th and wake at 4:30am then I wake up F-Sun at 5:30 to go to the gym. So like an iPhone I can set separate alarms. This was the biggest feature I was looking for in a clock.
My only issue (which isn’t much of an issue) and maybe I can disable it, but it does an alarm then snooze for 9 min then a get up alarm. I don’t like snoozing and would just like the one alarm to go off. However, I just get up during the first and it’s not a big deal… all in all I am satisfied with it. $150 is a bit for the reasoning of just an alarm clock but I just don’t need the other bells and whistles. Some people may enjoy it, but not waking up to full volume panic phone alarm is worth it to me.

Fails at Primary Function

First day with Loftie. Noticed some small issues but figured there were just some user error issues with understanding all the settings. For instance, what is the difference between the bed notification and the wind down? The app doesn’t really say what either does. Second day with Loftie. Woke up 40 minutes late today because the neither the lamp nor the alarm clock alarms went off. Opened the app to find all my alarms deleted. Really no use in using a product that is so tied to the app that it defeats the purpose of not using a phone alarm clock.

Update: (adjust from 1 star to 4 star) after working out some kinks, the Loftie clock and lamp are working as they should. You definitely have to set everything up in the app, and only connect one phone to the app. There is still some lack of clarity in the app (not 5 stars) with regard to what everything does but we are slowly figuring it out.
