TalkingAlarm nightstand alarm 4+

My insomniac self needed this app

I am a student who never sleeps and needed an extra boost to wake me up because I’ve somehow managed to sleep through my seven alarms in my built in alarm app. This app does wonders for me! I honestly didn’t know how someone could put so much thought into an alarm app but I believe they’ve thought of everything. There are many things to love about this app. - Customizable text that you can have verbalized by different voice choices. I enjoy leaving myself messages for the morning like “if you don’t get up right now you’ll be late” - Neat aquarium background that makes me feel better about leaving my phone screen on all night aka a pretty screen saver even if phones don’t need them - I am also less inclined to reach for my phone at night once I put the alarm on. Every time I re-enter the app it goes “ALARM SET FOR ____ about ____ hours from now” which I like for two reasons. One, it helps me feel safe that I correctly set my alarms. I have a bit of anxiety regarding “did I accidentally set it to PM??” But this app eliminates that issue with its verbal que when opening the app. Two, it is often making noise when the rest of the house is quiet so I don’t want to keep turning it on and off. More motivation to not doom scroll instead of sleep. - There are also options of how to turn off the alarm, if you want the camera light to flash and phone to vibrate, etc. Great for heavy sleepers.

I love Talking Alarm Clock !!! I have been using it for at least 2 years. I have been fired for 3 jobs for not waking up for work. ( I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). THIS APP has literally been a life saver for my career and thus myself and my children. I tried everything out there such as the thing you chase around the room to the thing you wake up and stand on, the alarm you have if you get lost in the woods, the one that stimulates morning time ( I work nights )and the clock that projects the time on the ceiling. Inevitably I would turn them off and get in bed with little recollection due to exhaustion. With talking alarm it tells you what time it is and you never have to open your eyes to know that if you don’t get up now that you are going to be late. You tell it the times to set and if you want to be nagged and even what to say ( to the morning you ) , cause if you’re like me that person is a different creature. I have finally been able to set an alarm to tell me to get up and take my medicine ( I have to take medicine to stay awake ) and then set another alarm to wake up to get ready for work . I honestly don’t even want to think where I would be had I never found this app !

Hi Kelly- Thanks for the kind words! I'm just glad that TalkingAlarm has been able to help. Mark

Don’t know what I would do without this app!!

Yes, it really is that amazing! It is 100% reliable and has never failed me, which is obviously of utmost importance (and should be a given in an alarm app, but isn’t always!). But what I love most is how customizable it is, which allows me to LITERALLY begin my day exactly the way I want to! One of my favorite features is being able to hear my day’s agenda and the weather forecast so I can plan my day (and I sometimes use the recording feature to record an important reminder, motivation, etc.). I also love being able to integrate Caseta dimmers with TalkingAlarm (I currently just use a plug-in dimmer to turn the family room light on for those really early, dark winter mornings). There are too many great features to list, but one last fave is the ability to customize the display so I can have a large, yet dim, bedside clock. Great job creating a very thoughtful, impactful app!!

Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad that you’ve found TalkingAlarm so helpful. I have a Lutron dimmer plug for the lamp on my bedside table so that EZWake can slowly bring up the brightness over a four minute period. It’s the smoothest wake-up ever! Mark
