Progressive Alarm Clock for Positive User Reviews

Nail BenderGreat app! I got this app for the gentle wake up feature and have been very pleased with it! No issues with it. I set the volume very low, and when the chimes start sounding I can’t even hear them. They slowly grow louder. I’m not a light sleeper but this gentle increase of volume always wakes me before the sound gets harsh. Then I discovered the white noise feature. Now I run the noise which is helpful for sleeping. The noise shuts off just before the chimes begin. 95% of mornings the sudden cessation of the white noise is what wakes me and I never hear the chimes..Version: 5.2.1

Almost thereI would give it 5 stars if I could schedule week day automatic alarm.Version: 5.2.1

Best way to wakeI've had a variety of alarm clocks in my time and this is easily the best way to wake up (besides naturally). It's so subtle and pleasant sounding I find myself waking up without even realising its started. Fantastic..Version: 3.3.1

Great way to wake up.Love this app, bought it after having a baby so it would wake me or my husband without waking the children too. Wish it had a built in sleeping sounds too as my old alarm did then I wouldn't need two apps running all night..Version: 5.2.1

Love it! Reliable as clock work...Love this app!! Best way to wake up with these gorgeous resonant soft bells. Been using it for years - never fails - trustworthy and reliable as clock work. Thanks so much!!.Version: 5.2.1

What I’ve Been Searching ForAll of the alarm choices that came with my phone are too loud and most are downright jarring. I really appreciate this gentle beginning to my day. I wake before dawn and have a busy day as a primary special education teacher. A peaceful morning goes a long way to helping me stay calm, cool, and collected for myself and my kiddos. Thanks, y’all!.Version: 5.2.1

Awesome for people who hate alarm clocksWhile the alarm is basic, it is amazing. I no longer despise the sound of my alarm clock, and wake up smoothly without feeling as though I'm under attack..Version: 5.2.1

Best wake up toolLovely selection of singing bowl sounds depending on which key resonated with you..Version: 5.1.2

MikeGreat app Used it for 12 months.Version: 5.1.2

Perfect alarm clockI never write a review but am making an exception in this case. I have purchased several alarm clock apps in the past, but this app is the best one by far!! The bells, which I was afraid would be annoying, are incredibly soothing. The least amount of volume is all it takes to wake you. Absolutely no jarring you out of sleep - very, very peaceful experience. The white noise feature is a great extra. I normally sleep with a fan to block out background noise. I was in a hotel, and the noise in the corridor was preventing me from falling asleep. I tried the white noise option in the app and am now hooked on it. I enthusiastically recommend this app. It is perfect!!.Version: 5.2.1

Love itLove this alarm and have been using it daily for years now. One thing I would like if you would be able to set up alarms to for same days or the same alarm every day so you don't have to do it every time..Version: 5.2.1

One of the best alarm appsIt may not look the slickest but it does exactly what you want and it does it really well..Version: 5.1.3

What's the big deal?Sure the interface is not as attractive, but it fits the new iOS 8 style. You set the wake-up time and then turn off the screen. I have to look at it for about 10 seconds every day. It still is one of the best alarms on the market. It will wake me without disturbing my wife. Many times I wake to the slowly increasing volume without even realizing the alarm is what is waking me..Version: 5.2.1

Gentle awakeningGentle start to the day. Love it..Version: 5.1.2

Great appI have been using this app for nearly 9 months now and its great to wake up too. Very gentle and it eases you into the day. I won't be going back to traditional alarm/digital clock. The time display is a bit bright and its a shame it can't be dimmed. However that's a minor point. It really is the best alarm I have ever used. Love it!.Version: 5.1.3

Peaceful and brilliantThis is so far superior to any other alarm clock I have ever had in my life. I now wake up peacefully and stress free (provided my kids don't beat the alarm to it!). Thoroughly recommended!.Version: 5.1.3

Great appIt's far sweeter to wake up to the gentle tones in Progressive Alarm clock than the many alternatives. Great variety of tones and progressions. The only change I wish occurred was that it wasn't so easy to stop the alarm inadvertently - if you accidentally exit the app you'll sleep right through!.Version: 5.1.3

Reliable & effectiveI've been using this for a couple of years now and it's never let me down. The very quietest time is now enough to gently lift me out of sleep. I rely on it completely for work every day. Much more pleasant that a nasty siren..Version: 5.1.3

Ipad version betterIpad version has ability to customize ring pattern which is so must better that presets. Please add that to iphone version otherwise great app love the non jarring bell tones.Version: 5.1.3

Love it!I remember, years ago, there was a physical product similar to this that I wish I had bought but never did. This is the next best thing. I honestly don’t see how anyone can use one of those nasty sounding alarm clocks. This, I usually wake up to moments after it goes off anyway and it’s far less jarring and intrusive; it’s just better on the psyche. I do agree, though, with one other reviewer who suggested a “set it and forget it” feature which I think would be simple to implement..Version: 5.2.1

HeavenlyThe best alarm ever. I find I wake on the first or second bell. So gentle to my senses. Wake every time. Love this. Made all my friends get it..Version: 5.2.1

Works like a charm for me 👍I hold weekly, virtual counseling sessions and this is THE BEST mechanism I have found to help keep me on time. Yeah, I still “turn it off” sometimes and end up going over, but that is a function of MINE and certainly no fault of this GREAT timer application! THANKS SO MUCH for a SUPER alarm!! I have no need to look any further..Version: 5.2.1

Best Alarm Clock Ever!I'm nearly impossible to wake with any type of alarm clock, (I have broken many,) and this one works! The progression of gentle tones, rather than jarring alarm clock sounds, (although the failsafe would definitely wake up most people,) is a wonderful way to wake up. Whenever I have adapted too much to one singing bowl, I choose a different one. This is also a great app in my therapy practice, when I want to let people know our time is almost up, without an annoying alarm interrupting the session. The only thing that could make this app better is more singing bowl options..Version: 5.2.1

Who Needs the Rest because This is the BestThis app offers a blissful assortment of dulcet tones to gently nudge the sleeper from R.E.M. to reality. And for the sensitives who rely on decibel deadening earplugs to shield against the assault of urban pandemonium, the app's bone rattling it's-about-time-you-f...ing-wake up-buzzsaw-like vibration of last resort a.k.a. SureWake is guaranteed to blast you into high alert. It's lovely, it's lyrical and more importantly it's fail safe..Version: 5.2.1

Great!Love the sounds!.Version: 5.1.3

Pretty GoodSometimes seems to glitch but not often ...has a wide variety of bell -like wake up tones..Version: 5.1.3

Love it!Brilliant! Doesn't slap me awake like some alarms but rather gently nudges me! Feels so much better getting up now and doesn't disturb the other half either, can be up and out and still leave her snoring'.Version: 5.1.3

ExcellentI love this alarm. The sounds are great and it is very configurable. Great way to wake up too!.Version: 3.3.1

Great app!Truly a nice way to wake up- you choose which bell sound resonates with you and it gently wakes you up w that sound! So much nicer than any other alarm out there! I would give it 5 stars, but it would be super nice to be able to customize how you want to wake up, not just use the ones set up in the app... It would be great to be able to set more than one day at a time at perhaps different times... and I would love more bell sounds to choose... I'm sure they will figure that out. As it stands though, I do love waking up this way- if you have to wake up to some type of alarm!.Version: 5.2.1

Great appThis alarm wakes me up gently and the sure wake guarantees I get up as it's a horrible sound! It would have 5 stars if I could set a repeat alarm as I keep forgetting to set it..Version: 3.3.1

Gentle but effectiveI've been jolting myself awake for years with music or loud, jarring tones, and at first I was frankly afraid this wouldn't work. I tested it out over a weekend and was pleasantly surprised. There is a somewhat limited selection of gong "tones," but they do run a range of frequencies (and I'm guessing there's something there to satisfy most folks). I've been using this app 5-6 days a week for several weeks, and it's been great. The gong is an emotionally neutral sound, and the fade-in makes for a much easier welcome back to the waking world. Highly recommend..Version: 5.2.1

Fantastic app!I love this app because the increasing frequency and volume of bells allows you the space to wake up when you are in the appropriate phase of your sleep cycle. It does drain the battery a bit - uses about 20% through the night. But still a great app!.Version: 5.1.3

This is the best app on my phone (and I have 100+ apps)!I adore this alarm clock! I have a pacemaker, so being jolted awake by a loud alarm clock has been a struggle for years! The progressive feature allows me to wake a little more softly, allowing me to gentle pull awake. Honest, best app on my phone - I've recommended it to dozens of friends - they seem really happy, too!.Version: 5.2.1

Makes waking up less awfulThis app has very soothing sounds to gradually wake you which is great. I’ve never had an issue waking up with this alarm clock! I contemplated giving it 4 stars because it’s inconvenient that I have to keep the app open in the background but I figure, like any app that doesn’t come already installed in your phone, it isn’t possible for the app to work if you close out of it. Im someone who religiously exits out of all apps before locking my phone. It’s a habit. I’m always nervous I’m going to exit out of this app before bed so I keep a recurring alarm in the iPhone alarm clock app just in case ( I’ve never had to use my back up alarm btw). Overall, great app!.Version: 5.2.1

Love it, have been using it for yearsI feel I found my personalised alarm app..Version: 5.2.1

Love it but would rather it bypassed the headphonesLove this app, but I wish it didn’t sound through the headphones. I used to listen to ambient sounds through earbuds while falling asleep and the default phone alarm would sound out loud, but this one goes through the earphones. As the earbuds have usually fallen out by morning, I’ve had to stop using them..Version: 5.2.1

The only alarm clock I likeProvides a gentle wake in the morning without waking up everybody else..Version: 5.1.3

A gentle awakening.Love this app, such a gentle way to wake up. :-).Version: 3.3.1

Love this app!Such a calming way to wake up, not at all jarring. I just "wake up" as opposed to being jarred awake and needing an hour before my nerves settle (as happens for me with the normal alarm clocks). I also use it when I am working if I have something I need to move onto or an appt..Version: 5.1.3

Awesome, Peaceful Wake ups!Love this app! I use it all the time to wake up peacefully & gently. It starts quiet & gets louder so I have no fear of sleeping through it. (I only wish it had an icon on home screen when alarm is activated to be sure it is on.) Thanks!.Version: 5.2.1

A great alarm!I enjoy waking with this alarm - more options would be super, especially starting with chimes that are quiet with a wider delay..Version: 5.2.1

Very reliableReliable, versatile.Version: 5.2.1

Excellent!Simple and does the job..Version: 5.1.2

AmazingThis is how you should wake up...gentle start to the day. I use this everyday and always start the day on a positive. Gone are the nerve jarring alarms and ringtones. Awesome app🙏🍵❤️.Version: 5.2.1

5*5*.Version: 5.2.1

Nearly perfectThis is a terrific app. I can think of one extra function to make it perfect. It would be very helpful if a person can confirm that an alarm has been set and started if there was an added mark of some sort to the on-screen app. It means that it will be very easy to see if I have correctly started the alarm. Thanks..Version: 5.2.1

Perfect!This app is simple and has everything I need. So grateful thank you!.Version: 5.2.1

Best Alarm ClockFor years I’ve hated the startling and abrupt awakening of alarm clocks, including the iPhone alarm. I’ve been using this for over a year so I can’t remember how much it was, a dollar maybe? Well, best $1 ever spent. This alarm clock peacefully wakes you up starting from a very low volume and slowly increases. The alarm chime choices are a lovely assortment of soft Asian bells that fit perfectly. I’ve never had it fail, not once. If you’re looking for a quiet alarm, this is it..Version: 5.2.1

Love this!Simple. Has made waking up so much nicer!.Version: 5.2.1

I love this app!The alarm starts softly with a low chime and gradually becomes louder if I don’t turn it off. It also works in airplane mode, when the battery saver is on, and when the “do not disturb” feature is on (I turn it on at night before going to sleep), thus saving you battery life and oversleeping embarrassment..Version: 5.2.1

Great way to start your day!An assortment of progressive sounds provide a pleasurable waking experience. I use this app every day and overall I'm very happy with it. It would be nice if the volume control for this app could be separate from the rest of the phone functions, thus allowing my alarm to be at full volume in the morning even if I were to use my iPhone for calming music when I go to bed at low volume. Brightness control would also be nice....Version: 5.2.1

Need more than 3 preset alarmsPlease can you increase the number of pre sets to allow for hourly reflection / stillness reminders. Otherwise lovely bells.Version: 5.2.1

The Best Progressive Tone AlarmThis app is just what I was looking for. I have it set to chime or gong with the sound of a Tibetan signing bowl and then gradually increase in volume as the interval between gongs decreases. You can adjust most parameters to come up with the perfect program for you. It is far superior to the mechanical zen clocks that cost a whole lot more and are not nearly as reliable..Version: 5.2.1

Awesome tones to slowly riseGreat app. I use it every work day!.Version: 5.2.1

ExcellentNice to wake up without the shock to the system.Version: 3.3.1

Love it for meditationReally enjoy using this as a meditation timer. I give it 4 stars as I’d love to see a couple of extra features. 1. A timer to count down 2. Ability to set different alarms on different days. Now that I know how to use it I think it’s great, however I didn’t find it intuitive at the start. When I first downloaded it it took some playing around and testing the features..Version: 5.2.1

Love it!I've used it for several years now and it works awesome!.Version: 5.2.1

Very goodA very nice way to wake up and start the day. The app is very user friendly and straight forward to use..Version: 5.1.2

Great appThis app works mostly like I had hoped. Simply and smartly. One downside is that I can't turn the alarm off in the morning without first going through the machinations of logging into my phone. This disrupts what you want an alarm like this for in the first place. Disclaimer: Maybe there's a way around that problem that I just haven't figured out yet. If that was fixed I'd give a 5. Still, this app way better than most (generally speaking)..Version: 5.2.1

Not a morning person? Buy this alarm!!!I am NOT a morning person, so when my son started school, I was dreading hearing a loud terrible alarm go off. I can safely say that this is hands down the best alarm I’ve ever used!! By the time I hear a dong, I’m completely awake and happy! I love it so much that I’ve told all my friends about it!! If you aren’t a morning person, buy this ASAP!!! You won’t regret it!!.Version: 5.2.1

Very NiceAwesome and peaceful way to wake up every morning. It would be nice to get some updates/enhancements for this app. Maybe add a few new options for sounds or allow users to edit alarm settings from the lock screen (like when listening to music/radio). I've had this app for a few years and I don't think there's been more than 1 "major" update/enhancement to it..Version: 5.2.1

Awesome! Nice to wake up to.Highly recommend, I’ve been using it and it’s nice to slowly realise your alarm is going off in the morning instead of being slapped In the face! Sometimes I sleep right till the end of the alarm period and hear the ringing bells, other times I hear the first softest bell and get up a bit earlier. Either way, it’s adaptive to how I feel and works well. You can even make the alarm range longer for a smoother and gentler wake up if you have time. I am enjoying the first one right now :) Get it!! Start the day off with a win!!!.Version: 5.2.1

Great appThe app works great but might need a upgrade because of the potential OLED burn in problem on the newer phones. Maybe have the time move slightly to the left or right or simply have the two dots slowly blink since the numbers actually change at least every hour. Anyway thanks for a great app. Also it would be nice to have option to stop alarm when phone is locked. The face recognition does not work well as soon as I wake up in the morning. I currently have to grab the phone and cut the volume down when it rings.Version: 5.2.1

GreatThis app is a great way to wake up. I always feel relaxed and am grateful that I have not been woken by some horrible sound. The only complaint that I have is that the app seems to chew my battery overnight. If this can be fixed then it would be rated 5 stars..Version: 4.1.1

Most Peaceful Way to Wake UpI have a strict "no smartphone in bedroom" rule that has been in effect forever until several months ago when I first tried this app. I couldn't imagine waking up any other way! Thank you 🙏🏾.Version: 5.1.3

SleepyMissing is the option to pre-set for week days..Version: 4.1.1

Peaceful wake upSo perfect for couples that wake at different times. The alarm doesn’t wake my husband but I wake up nice and peacefully. Thank you.Version: 5.2.1

Calm Gentle StartLove several options for sounds, & pattern frequency. Would love option to set multiple, regular fixed alarm times ‘once’ for the one day (eg: 8:00a, 12:00p, 4:00p, 8:00p)… otherwise, am thoroughly enjoying easy start to my day. Ahhhhh. (No more ‘jolt’).Version: 5.2.1

Only alarm I useI’ve been loving the use of this app for several years now, ever since finding it I never used the standard alarm on my phone again. What would take it over the top would be the option for a timer that uses minutes/hours as other alarm apps have. Not having that option doesn’t detract from the overall function of this app, but having it would truly make this app a wonder..Version: 5.2.1

A great app!I really love this app! The sounds are beautiful to wake up to and I highly recommend it as an alarm clock! The only thing I'd like to see added into it is the option to select different days and times to set the alarm..Version: 5.1.3

PerfectLove it. Best way to wake up..Version: 5.2.1

Pretty good but needs a couple of tweaksWe live this app and find it very relaxing to wake to. What we’d like to give it five stars is this: 1. Ability to run in background so the app doesn’t need to be actually running to work 2. Ability to set alarm schedules like every Mon, Tue, Friday at say 6am and have these repeat every week 3. Like 2 but have maybe 5-10 schedules. Or at least a few more presets. 3 is not enough for us. We both work odd hours so having these would be awesome even if we have to lay a bit more. Pro version?? Thanks..Version: 5.2.1

The Civilized Way to Wake UpWhat's worse than waking up to loud buzzing? A clanging bell or an incessant bonging - that's what's worse! This app spares from you being jolted awake out of a sound sleep. Who ever thought of this app should get a Nobel prize..Version: 5.2.1

A great way to wake up!So great being able to wake up to a choice of gorgeous bells..Version: 5.1.3

Gentle wake upIt seems almost Neanderthalish to still use an archaic alarm that goes off suddenly and makes you instinctively reach for the snooze button. Ever since I downloaded this app, I feel like I went from driving an old busted down jalopy to a self-driving state of the art Tesla. You don’t understand but I do because I’m fully rested from sleeping thoroughly and waking up gently and you’re not. Download the app now!.Version: 5.2.1

Perfect alarmAs gentle as you want to start and if at first it doesn't succeed will increase tempo until you respond. Ideal.Version: 5.1.3

MrExcellent alarm clock.Version: 5.1.3

Wish listThis alarm app is amazing. I love being gently brought awake. I use the dark mode so I can barely see the time in a dark room. However, I wish I could dim the time even further..Version: 5.2.1

Best alarm sound to wake up toLove this alarm, can't think of a nicer, sound to wake up to. Most of the time only 1 chime wakes me but if really tired then the increasing volume of each chime will wake me at some stage! :).Version: 5.1.3

Missing FeaturesSo good! Waking up slowly and feeling more alert most of the time, but could really do with more options. - setting alarms for the week instead of having to set it every night - weekend mode - customisable pattern option (there doesnt seem to be a 20 min one with long gaps).Version: 5.2.1

Been loving this app for 11 years nowSome apps just work. This is one. It’s a classic. This app just straight up works. I’ve kept using it through multiple iOS versions at this point. I noticed the last app version update was five years ago. I only hope that the app continues to run forever on future updates..Version: 5.2.1

Great way to wake upI love this app! So lovely to wake up gradually to the beautiful, soothing sounds..Version: 5.1.3

A+⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫.Version: 5.2.1

Love this!!My husband and I love waking up to this alarm clock...it’s such a calm peaceful sound to wake up to..Version: 5.2.1

Love it!I love this alarm and have used it for over a year now. Love the bells and how customizable it is! Totally worth the cost to wake up peacefully instead of being jangled by hearing a traditional alarm clock..Version: 5.1.3

MrIt really works! Buy it.Version: 5.1.2

Makes waking easierI feel like this alarm sets me up for a more productive, less adrenalin-filled day. To use this alarm is an act of self care..Version: 5.2.1

Great startWakes me up just right.Version: 5.2.1

Great alarm to help me wake up.I have always struggled getting up early in the morning but using this alarm along with a light timer has been a huge help for me. Waking up more gently in the morning over a 10 minute Period Has been in a enormous help it is the first time I have been able to wake up consistently early in the morning without feeling like I was half dead..Version: 5.2.1

You wouldn't think it would wake you up......but it does. You kind of wake up slowly almost without realising you're awake, in the most peaceful and calming wake up experience imaginable. Regular alarm clocks are definitely a thing of the past, can't imagine going back to that racket!.Version: 4.1.1

The civilized way to wake up.Got rid of my radio alarm clock years ago. Much better to start the day gently. I also use it for notification for appts and tasks. The soft bell at low volume is not intrusive in the open office..Version: 5.2.1

Excellent AppEasy to use. Good options..Version: 5.2.1

Progressive alarm clockLove waking gently from my sleep to the sound of Tibetan singing bowls..Version: 5.2.1

But...This app would be absolutely perfect, if the journal entry button to either save my journal entry, or cancel my journal entries were switched. Everywhere else in my computer world, the save button is on the right, and the cancel button is on the left, so I find myself erasing I accident my journal entry I have it. And I often don’t want to redo my entry, so I miss out on my journal entry of the day..Version: 5.2.1

My favorite app!!I LOVE this app! The alarm clock component is a gentle, non-jarring way to wake up. I love it! However my favorite feature is actually the clock with large lit numbers in landscape mode! It's even an extra bonus that I can program the color of the numbers. I use this for teaching classes. It doesn't sleep unless I tell it to and the purple numbers are not bright so it doesn't affect the ambiance of the room. Best app ever. Only down side is that it uses a lot of battery power when alarm is set. Best purchase I've made yet from the App Store..Version: 5.2.1

A home run!I rarely pay $2 for an app, but when I discovered this one, I just had to have it. It's been a delight to use, and such a pleasant way to wake up - I LOVE IT!!! And if you've ever priced actual progressive alarm clocks, you'll know that this is the bargain of the year. Lots of choices of tones & patterns, and being able to save 3 "favorite" times is nice. Get this app!.Version: 5.2.1

Great alarm!Love this alarm and have been using it for years. Might be an idea to update it for "dark mode" on the new OLED phones by telling it to ignore "invert colors"..Version: 5.2.1

It works.It only loses a star for the look of the thing - sounds and idea are excellent. Gently persistent enough to irritate you awake. Gets through sleep normal alarms can't penetrate..Version: 5.1.3

Love it!I'm not a morning person, and used to dread my alarm clock. I would always wake up startled. Using this alarm allows me to wake up slowly & gently ... And I love the 'sure wake'. I never worry about sleeping in! :).Version: 5.1.3

Beautiful soundLovely to wake to. Great features to let you know how many hours until you wake, great choice of sounds, and clever colour features so that you can have a lowlight option for viewing in the dark..Version: 5.1.3

Love it!The sounds are beautiful..Version: 5.1.3

Air Raid Siren SoundI’m usually a very lite sleeper but just here lately I’ve been sleeping so heavily I don’t hear the alarms gentle sound. By the time I hear it the sound is going to give me a panic attack....... I have heard this screaming Air Raid Siren sound three times. My poor husband can’t decide if he should comfort me or get me to turn the alarm off. I’ve changed the progressive alarm setting to what the best possible progressive setting that is offered. I would recommend this app to everyone.......Family and friends as long as you don’t have a have a heart condition so try this app it is the best progressive alarm App I have found. Really try it. Excellent app, try it. Me I’m hoping to return to my normal sleep pattern..Version: 5.2.1

Simple and effective appIt’s exactly what I wanted. A calm and peaceful way to wake up and the sounds of bells just makes it that much more tranquil. Simple app. Be careful it’s a bit finicky. I found it didn’t go off once because I think I jaded another app after setting the alarm. Not exactly sure how it happened but for the first few tries set up your iPhone alarm as a plan b just so you’re not late for work. But I do enjoy this app..Version: 5.2.1

Volume IssueOverall alarm works well, but I wish the volume control was not linked to my phone volume as I would like to be able to turn off the volume on my phone at night and still have the volume on my alarm on..Version: 5.2.1

Great alarm clock with increasing volume optionI have been using this app for years. I find it the most gentle for waking up if you choose to set it that way. Even works when your phone is in sleep mode. Only thing I wish it had were the option to have repeat alarms daily and also option to set your own iphone music (mp3 or whatever) to wake up to..Version: 5.2.1

Oh wonderfulYes i love it. A blissful and intentional way to begin our most important journey: today.Version: 5.1.3

I like itFeels great on my nerves system to wake up with out a sickning apple alarm 🚨 ⏰.Version: 5.2.1

Close to perfectThe only thing missing (that would have me give it 5 stars) is that I can’t add my own sound or music clip... you only get your choice of 6 ringing bowl sounds to choose between. They are nice, but I’d prefer to be able to select my own sounds. That said, I love the variety of fade in options, plus the choice of what I’d like to happen if I hit snooze, and more. The interface is pretty, straightforward and intuitive. Good product..Version: 5.2.1

Love it!It’s such a better way to wake up. I use the 10 minute selection and always up in 8-9 minutes. No need to hit snooze anymore. Even with the volume on 50% it still wakes me up slowly but surely. The only thing is if you are married or other etc, you have to set this before their jolting alarm comes first or convince them to use this too..Version: 5.2.1

Lovely clockReally nice clock, great display and lovely chiming bells to wake up to. Only thing missing is ability to set repeat alarms and this is a big miss, please include in update and easily get 5 stars..Version: 0

Lovely start to the dayI love waking up to the gentle sound of gongs. It’s creates a calm feeling instead of the jarring feeling of a regular alarm..Version: 5.2.1

Great App, needs countdown timer with resets, would then be perfect !!Excellent functionality. Never fails to wake me. Tones are great-would like to have a few more ? On the progressive settings, takes a big long to get loud but this is a minor issue Would very much like to see a countdown timer with resets added as part of this app at the next upgrade. Would be near perfect then !!.Version: 5.2.1

AlarmI now wake up to a soft alarm rather than some crazy loud alarm making me jump.Version: 5.2.1

Perfect!! best alarm ever.I had a progressive wake-up alarm clock which i paid about $85 for and loved dearly for about 10 years- but alas, it stopped working. the idea is brilliant- why be jarred awake when you can be gently coaxed there, with a fool-proof loud sound at the end just in case- and while i preferred the gradually progressive nature sounds that came with my actual clock, this app basically has the same effect, and the sound of the bells is well done. i also love the options for choosing different progressions. bottom line, this is hands-down the best way to wake up in the morning, and for 99 cents it's an absolute steal. only gripe is that the app has to be open and running in the background and manually started every time you want to use it- would be great if they could integrate a way to make it recur on set days, or set it in advance for a certain date. either way, still well worth using, and in fact would consider it the best app i've ever purchased!.Version: 5.2.1

Excellent appThis is the alarm clock I've always wanted, a lovely gentle awakening rather a shocking noise..Version: 5.1.3

It’s a good way to wake up.It doesn’t startle me of a morning..Version: 5.2.1

My favourite alarm appReliable, easy to use and I love that the alarm sound increases in volume so you don't wake up to a horrible loud noise.Version: 5.1.2

RHCB 1960Great app. Have used it for years!.Version: 5.2.1

Love it!It's a nice gentle way to wake up verses a blaring alarm first thing..Version: 5.2.1

From snooze to lucidPerfect really - no longer am I woken mid-radio-rant or mid-mad-song. And no more artificial light in my bedroom while I'm sleeping! Just sweet, calm bells and total trust they'll wake me.Version: 5.1.2

Love itWakes me up so gently, I love it. Takes the annoyance out of an alarm clock. Ive used it for a few years and it's gotten better. Used to eat the battery, but it's improved so much with updates. In its current state it's awesome, just wish I could set it to go off on weekdays without having to be turned on every night..Version: 5.2.1

Great way to wake upNice app. Great way to wake up. Little heavy on the battery but other than that great..Version: 5.2.1

Worth Checking OutIt does the best out of all alarm apps as far as having an ascending alarm so it gets the job done if that is the most important aspect of your alarm, as it is mine. However I wish there were other relaxing tones available other than the ringing bowls. Also, it would be nice if the alarm’s volume could be set independently from other aspects of phone usage instead of it being the volume level of whatever level was most recently used by your phone no matter if it was this app or another. I recommend, but it definitely has improvements that seem simple to add, and would be worth paying a few bucks for..Version: 5.2.1

PerfectBasic looking and not the most modern looking interface, but the way it wakes you is perfect… so gentle you don’t even realise you’ve heard the first ‘bong’ but you’re awake… love it.Version: 5.2.1

A wonderful way to wake up.I would highly recommend this app, for those who would rather wake up gently..Version: 5.1.2

Simply the best alarm clockInvaluable app. Amazing sounds, awesome flexibility..Version: 5.1.2

NiceLove the soft start tones.Version: 5.2.1

Exactly what I was looking forThe progressively increasing volume of the bells is just what I was looking for. No more being jarred awake, and yet I can be certain of not sleeping through the alarm..Version: 5.2.1

AlarmI love this alarm!! It's the best alarm I've ever used and recommend it to everyone!.Version: 5.2.1

AmazingAmazing app. I enjoy it every time..Version: 5.1.3

Peace AwakeningGreat way to wake up with easy to use app.Version: 5.1.3

Simple, perfect.It’s exactly what I was looking for. A soothing, progressive alarm without all the added bells and whistles like tracking, journaling or meditation. Best of all, no need to keep your phone on a charger all night to keep it going. Great app!.Version: 5.2.1

Best app I ever boughtI've literally been using it for years, and would never go back to a traditional alarm clock..Version: 5.1.3

Been using this app for 5 yearsThis app is amazing. I have yet to find one like it. You’ll be softly worked up, and will feel much more energized in the morning! I love this all and recommend it!.Version: 5.2.1

ExcellentGreat way to wake up :).Version: 5.2.1

BrilliantWould love a few more sound options like wind chimes, but love this app, a very good way to wake up.Version: 5.1.2

Throw your other alarm clocks awayThis alarm is extremely customizable including the option to invoke the dreaded “Sure Wake.” I have slept thru fire alarms before so I need a backstop in case I sleep thru the standard alarms. You will not sleep thru Sure Wake. Most of the time, the Tibetan bowls suffice and I love the variety of bowls as well as the 7 different timing patterns. I have used a LOT of different alarms and apps - I got rid of them. This is the only one I need..Version: 5.2.1

Works great w/one flawThis app has been hugely beneficial to my scheduling. I just wish you could set a timer instead of punching in the time of day that the alarm should go off. A little annoying to have to close the app solely to check the clock on the home screen, then go back in to set the alarm for the correct time. Other than that it’s great!.Version: 5.2.1

MeditationI use this app to set a timer for myself when I meditate and I love the gentle way that this brings me out of the meditation..Version: 5.2.1

Very beautiful!Very beautiful sound, I'm really enjoying it! Plus it keeps bugging me to leave a review... ;-).Version: 5.1.2

Best alarm I've ever used.I've used this app for a couple of months and it works wonderfully! I wake up more gently, consequently feeling more refreshed as I start the day--that's something I can't say about the other conventional alarms I've used. And now the app runs in the background! This is, hands-down, an essential app for me. Five stars. Keep up the good work!.Version: 5.2.1

Years Of SatisfactionAll of my 20+ night shift years began being jarred out of sleep by the raucous sound of my typical, average alarm clock. Prior to smart phones and apps I invested in a Now And Zen alarm however it was so difficult to set I’d keep raucous set as well in case I failed. I found this app in my retired years however better late than never and I am sooooo pleased. The bells sound extremely realistic. Setting the alarm is a breeze. My setting is dark and my volume lower than max. I’m usually awakened by the first bell but I may listen to a few more for the pleasure of it. I can’t sufficiently praise this app. My only suggestion to users: If you use a Bluetooth headset don’t forget to turn it off unless you’re planning to use it. To the developer- Many Thanks 🙏🏻.Version: 5.2.1

SublimeAbsolutely sublime, a wonderful idea.Version: 5.1.2

Peaceful Way to WakeBasic app that wakes you up gently, gradually & reliably. Nice way to start the day..Version: 5.2.1

Great appGreat to wake up in such a peaceful way!.Version: 5.1.3

Nice appIt’s good but it would be perfect if i could snooze my alarm clock with the lock button on the right of my iphone bc in the morning i have to use the facial recognition and the screen light is pretty brutal. Otherwise the bolls sounds are really nice and the progressions options are very gentle. I appreciated the guide to use the app as well. Almost perfect..Version: 5.2.1

LovelyLovely to wake up to. The quality of the bells is outstanding and they sound beautiful..Version: 5.1.2

Least jarring way to wake up.I use this app all the time. I waited a while before rating because I had to determine if the challenges I was having were due to the app or to me. Eventually determined that the times the app failed were my error. Once I got the hang of it, I haven't had any problems..Version: 5.2.1

A gentle awakeningA great way to be woken up slowly. It sets the rest of the day up nicely..Version: 5.1.2

One thing neededIt’s good, but it needs to be turned off when the phone is locked. At the moment you need to unlock the phone and open up the app to turn it off..Version: 5.2.1

FaultlessSo easy to use and reuse.Version: 5.1.2

Best alarm program so far!Works like a charm. Love the graduated volume. Reliable. Thanks for this. I've never found an alarm I liked as well as this..Version: 5.1.3

Love it! I use it everyday :-)Great app!.Version: 5.1.2

Best wake-up experienceI love this alarm! It makes for a very pleasant entry into the day. I use the 6-minute fade in and the best part is that even at its loudest it’s not at all obnoxious so that I don’t feel any urgency to turn it off right away. This means that I can lounge in bed a minute or two to feel fully awake without having to hit the snooze button. I’ve had this app for years, and it’s still my go-to alarm. Highly recommended!.Version: 5.2.1

EssentialHave used this alarm for over 4yrs now. Always wakes me slowly & quietly. Thanks for such a great app..Version: 5.1.3

Realy nice to wake up.Tried a few different alarm clock systems including the obvious normal one, also sleep cycle. I didnt see much difference in waking up earlier with other alarms but the progressive system is great because it brings you out of a deep sleep leaving you feeling refreshed.Version: 3.1.1
