CARROT Alarm - Talking Alarm Clock for Negative User Reviews
✓ Random notificationsOccasionally, I'll get notifications from the app in the middle of the night, despite not having opened the app in weeks. Very strange..Version: 2.0
✓ Too UnreliableI used to love Carrot Alarm, but over the last year or so it's become too unreliable to use as an alarm. I've been using it in tandem with the default alarm, because of how frequently it does not go off. That was annoying enough, then it started having issue in which it would go off on time but it would immediately go into hard mode as though I'd slept through it and was shutting it off late. The last straw for me was the word scramble chore. I've never like having to unscramble a word with no hints first thing in the morning but over the last two days I got letters that could make more than 1 word (salve, slave, vales, etc.) I think 'slave' was probably the correct answer but not what i saw first so I got it wrong. Additionally I got 8-9 letter words the last two days. I don't know about you but I can not unscramble that amount of letters with no context as soon as I wake up (if at all)... In summation, it used to work very well, but now it's unreliable and annoying certainly not worth paying money for an alarm that may or may not go off!.Version: 2.1
✓ Love the idea.. not reliableI’ve tried three times now to use the Carrot alarm, but all three times, it has failed to go off. It seems to be crashing during the night, or something. I have insured that my volume is not muted, I have had the app running in the foreground, my phone is plugged in, and I leave my phone unlocked and face down. Sometimes, when I do wake up, I see a number of messages on the phone indicating the alarm thought it was trying to wake me. Sometimes, it just doesn’t appear to do anything. I love the idea of this alarm... I just wish I could rely on it. I think the requirement of leaving the app in the foreground and sound enabled is unnecessary. Other alarm apps seems to manage without these requirements. I never have a problem with the Sleep Cycle alarm, and that is what I will continue to use, unless/until Carrot can figure this out..Version: 2.1
✓ Forefront sadnessI like listening to soft music to help me sleep however as soon as I put Carrot in the forefront the music stops. So I can't go to sleep the way I like to... I wasn't woken by my alarm clock but she was still angry about it anyway.Version: 2.1
✓ Slightly ridiculousPatronising and slightly ridiculous. Deleted almost immediately after buying it..Version: 2.1
✓ Please support iphone XPlease support iphone X.Version: 2.1
✓ Cool idea, shoddy outcome.I gave this 2 stars because honestly I love the CARROT weather app. The alarm clock.... Not so much. The limited functionality is my biggest reason for not liking it. Though I’m sure it gets better with future unlocks. The degree in which I can customize my original Apple alarm app for a variable schedule make it way more useful to me. Things like unlocking normal app features such as menu access and fine tuning wake-ups could also probably be re-evaluated. Save your money and use a different alarm clock..Version: 2.1
✓ IOS 12 changed Carrot’s VoiceI have been faithfully using Carrot as my alarm clock for years. My wife hates it, but the fear of her wrath gets me out of the bed in record time, and the small manual tasks are just enough to break through my morning fog. Simply put, it works for me. With the addition of iOS 12, though, everything went pear-shaped. Once upon a time, Carrot’s voice was the perfect combination of snide and commanding. Then, changes in iOS forced her to use the standard Siri voice (disappointing but tolerable). Now, iOS 12 has changed “her” voice into this strange, male, robotic thing that pales in comparison to the Carrot of old. Dear developer, please address this! Should Carrot “get her groove back,” I would be happy to change my rating back to the five stars this app usually deserves..Version: 2.1
✓ Great idea, but doesn't work.It's a great idea, and the carrot humour is great. But time and again it doesn't work, no alarm just a series of angry notifications when I do finally wake up. I've used a rival alarm app (ie. Not apple), and that's worked pretty much every time. This is despite setting up as stated, top app open prior to lock. It's a real shame, but if you can't make a reliable alarm, the point of it really, then it's pretty pointless. A real shame..Version: 2.1
✓ I love this app but it needs to work in silent!I have been using this for a couple of weeks. It is good and gets me up without fail every day. However, last night I forgot to put my phone on loud and as a result the alarm didn't sound this morning. This is really frustrating, as if you launch the app in silent it still talks/makes noises so surely it should be able to make the alarm sounds too? At the very least it should play no sounds at all when setting the alarm so that you can realise that your phone is still in silent! This needs to be sorted out!!! Would be 5 star if not for this ridiculous issue!.Version: 2.0
✓ Great concept, taken a bit too far.Paid $4 for app... Can't use many features or obtain certain bonuses until I level up first. Want to have the $4 app remind you to turn it on before bed? Nope, gotta wait until you're level three first. Want the $4 alarm to vibrate your phone as well? Noooope. Gotta be level 8 first. Heck, I had to google how to access the menu/settings because apparently Carrot doesn't even 'reward' you with this information until you're level two. I loved the Carrot weather app, so I thought this one would be an instant win... But I haven't even used this to wake me up yet and it's already frustrated me. The weather app impresses me because while it had this awesome, sarcastic, evil robot at the helm, it still offers every feature that a solid weather app needs. This alarm, however... particularly for a paid app, seems to be a bit too much. I can't seem to do basic things that my current alarm let's me do like choose a consistent tume to wake up to, and other basic things are locked behind a 'reward' system. Don't get me wrong, many of the unlockables seem to fit well, but many should not be blocked in a paid app. Will give it a solid shot anyways since my money is gone. Who knows, maybe this initial frustration will wear off and it'll become a new favourite. I have a feeling I'm going to be back to my tried and true favourite pretty quick with this one though :-(.Version: 2.1
✓ CrashingIt crashes before I could even open it, could I possibly get a refund?.Version: 2.1
✓ PotentialLove the carrot apps and figured this would do the job of waking me up, sadly the alarm wakes me up sometimes, and if it does the tasks aren't long enough and I fall back to sleep! I don't know it just feels like it's missing a few features. Double tab and triple tap are a bit of a hassle too to register. Definitely has potential though!.Version: 1.0
✓ Nice concept, flawed executionThe idea behind Carrot Alarm is a good one, albeit not a new one—an alarm that won't turn off without some additional input. The input to solve is well thought out, funny, and just the right difficulty. Which is why it's a shame I can't recommend this app. Firstly the features advertised do not work as described. For instance it states Carrot won't let you Snooze and won't turn off until the tasks have been solved, yet there is a functioning snooze feature, which doesn't require any tasks, and even without solving the tasks the alarm disables after a short time. Secondly while I like the idea of levelling up to unlock new features this app locks some fairly core features behind a length levelling process. Things like repeating alarms. It's nice to have the levelling for new alarm tones and such but not for core features of an alarm clock..Version: 2.1
✓ Go awayBasically it's just annoying and to use settings you have to advance through its levels of progress..Version: 2.0
✓ Doesn’t work properlyIf you have a newer phone or update your phones to the newest IOS don’t bother with this app. Seems to be the developers don’t update the app enough for new devices or software to work. Whenever you lock your phone, even with the app in the foreground and phone on sound, (although I’d prefer my phone to be on vibrate when I sleep) the alarm won’t sound..Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn't workIt's supposed to function if you enable notifications & sounds if you leave the app running in the foreground but lock the screen. It doesn't. This was according to instructions from the app itself. Didn't happen. All I got were a bunch of silent, progressively insulting notifications and was late for work. So next, I left the phone unlocked with the app running. Unfortunately, I can do Carrot's "chores" in a state of near consciousness & once I get her to shut up, I'm back to sleep in a matter of seconds. I wish I hadn't wasted my money..Version: 2.1
✓ Amusing, but..Doesn't work if phone is locked..Version: 2.1
✓ Serious battery problemsThe idea is great, Carrot is great, sassy and sarcastic as all hell. The chores are sound too. But the inability to adjust volume is bad, and the need to charge overnight or sacrifice 30-40% of battery life is terrible. Even when left charging, my phone heats up way more than normal charging, and to what feels like a dangerous level.... Money back would be ideal.. if only..Version: 2.0
✓ OkayI love this app, it has funny notifications and asks you to do chores as you wake up. What I don’t like is having to deal with black borders in the top of the screen, also how tapping the ocular sensor doesn’t do much and always resets and how it doesn’t start to complain if you don’t answer the notifications like it shows in the picture..Version: 2.1
✓ Brilliant when it works but unreliableThis intermittently doesn't go off even though I set it up the same every evening in the foreground when I lock my phone. I have had to start using the iPhone default alarm as a back up which defeats the point. When it doesn't go off it puts text notifications on the lock screen which make no sound so do not wake you up. She is supposed to go mad if you don't click wake up within a certain time so sleeping in by an hour was not expected. I woke up to find a series of irate but silent notifications on the phone. This is a pretty nasty bug and really lets the app down. When it has gone off I've been straight out of bed cos she is not nice at all when she's angry. I'm normally a really bad snoozer so I was finding this app brilliant until it let me down so now I can't rely on it which is a shame..Version: 2.1
✓ Good app but needs workThis is one of the only alarms that is great when you are in a deep sleep, the only issue I have is when you get on a high level and can’t solve a puzzle it needs a skip option or to change the puzzle type if you get it wrong. I ended up having to delete the app just to turn the alarm off..Version: 2.1
✓ Major FlawI really want to like this app. When it actually works, it is very effective. However, the alarm was only actually going off about 25% of the time. I contacted app support and was told that in order for it to work I would need to leave the app open and the screen unlocked all night. I am not willing to trust an alarm I can't set and forget. Having to remember to leave the app open and change my device settings every night (in order to leave the screen unlocked) is a deal breaker, not to mention a huge security risk..Version: 2.1
✓ An alarm shouldn’t require daily workIt’s Apple’s fault, I’m certain, that Carrot Alarm only works if it’s the foreground app running on your phone when you lock screen at bedtime. Problem is, I like using Calm’s ambient sounds and/or sleep stories, but both apps can’t be in the foreground simultaneously. So I’m annoyed that this alarm WON’T wake me if I forget or choose not to put it in the foreground before sleeping. That’s the entire point of an alarm, to set it and forget it (Thanks Ron Popiel). Apple’s own alarm works AND rings even when the DND switch is in Silent Mode. Not so Carrot Alarm. Leave the phone in silent mode so you don’t hear the beep of random messages or tests of the emergency SMS system and you WON’T hear Carrot Alarm either. This is really crappy. I wish there was a way to Make Apple’s own alarm wake up Carrot Alarm as a workaround. Alas, if I want to wake up, I have to rely on Apple and not the Carrot. Sigh..Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn't go off if your phone is lockedI was really excited for this alarm app, I have always been terrible at waking up. But the alarm doesn't go off if your phone is locked. I followed the instructions to have the app open and not in the background when you lock your phone for the night, but the alarm didn't go off until I unlocked my phone 20 minutes after it was supposed to go off. The support section also says to make sure you have notifications on for the app, but it doesn't show up in the notifications settings section. Hope they fix this..Version: 2.1
✓ Annoyed!!Hardly ever works, iOS 10 as I understand makes it a lot easier for apps like this to work without all this nonsense of having to leave it in the foreground and such, clearly won't benefit from this seeing as it hasn't been updated in over a year ! I've just paid money for this very annoyed.Version: 2.1
✓ UninstalledInteresting concept but half of the tasks to turn off the alarm do not work properly. The only way to turn it off is to uninstall. Total waste of money.Version: 2.1
✓ Not a happy customerFirst time I've paid for an app and first time I've left a review. This alarm hasn't gone off either night I have used it so far. I do everything the app tells me and it still hasn't yet gone off. Desperately needs an update otherwise it's getting uninstalled..Version: 2.1
✓ It would be great…It would be great if it actually made noise in the morning, but it doesn’t… it seems that it doesn’t work properly on iOS 11.Version: 2.1
✓ Turns itself offDoes not wake me up. Turns itself off after a period of time. Jokes are terrible, and ineffective. Problem solving period not long enough..Version: 2.1
✓ Good, but far too limited & inflexible...... which is a shame, as I enjoy using this app. I realise that a non-apple alarm clock will (almost certainly) never be able to call the necessary API's to make it function properly, but at least give me the option to set days of the week and multiple alarms, even if a push alert is needed to open the app and active them every night. I'm gonna delete this now, but ill check back in a couple of months to see if things improve. Such a shame..Version: 1.1
✓ IPhone X screenUpdate for iPhone X screen.Version: 2.1
✓ Will upgrade to five stars with the option to turn off certain unlockables.I am chronically late to work, as in fear of losing job chronic, but I just can't will myself out of bed. Carrot has solved my problem. But! I hate that I can't turn off the shake to snooze and shake to turn on flash lite options now that I've unlocked them. Due to the plug situation in my room my phone stays at the foot of my bed instead of a nightstand and shaking is inevitable, making these really annoying "upgrades". The base level version of this app actually worked better for me..Version: 2.1
✓ AnnoyingUse a regular alarm unless you sleep like the dead. This will no doubt get you up, but also annoy anyone sleeping next to you. It presents tests to wake you. Nothing intuitive mind you. Too expensive too; and not as clever as the developers think it is..Version: 2.1
✓ Not 100% sure about this appWhen I first saw the app it seemed quite useful and amusing, which it is! It uses a unique way of humour to wake you up in the morning. There are a few problems though. The app is completely pointless if your phone is muted as it will not do a thing. But also this app is rated 9+ which I think Is incorrect. The app was giving me notifications such as "your p*ss**g me off now" and "who was that man that came to watch you while you were sleeping?" So after I received notifications like that Id thought is bought an adult app but now it's for kids too! Personally I disagree with this and that's for the three stars..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Nothing specialSo the synthetic voice is sometimes funny, I wouldn't buy this app again. The wont you be my minion is kind of annoying when it is not actually sung. I'd pass on this one..Version: 1.0
✓ She's funnyThe app is really cool and the noises she makes are really annoying and definitely wake you up but I don't like how you can't lock your screen if you want it to actually go off. Please fix that..Version: 2.1
✓ Really, Really, want to love it more.I love the sadistic nature of the alarm, the abuse, the sarcasm, being called a meatbag in the morning. Sooo many features done right. But hear are my major issues. 1. Will not go off if your alarm is on silent or vibrate. 2. Even though you have to pay for the app. Most of the features require you to "rank up points" by waking up to unlock very ESSENTIAL AND BASIC features. Like being able to fine tune the wake up time in 5 min intervals, and reoccurring alarms that reset automatically. 3. The big one - this app has to remain open and on top. So if you have trouble falling asleep and like music like me (typically someone who needs an alarm like this has issues involving sleep), then too bad, no music apps will work in the background as this app cancels their audio output. Additionally, if you set this alarm, and check another app - and then forget to put it back on top or fall asleep - it doesn't work. Too bad. I Really Really Really want to love this app. Please unlock the features, allow it to force through silent mode, and allow some way to have music on when falling asleep..Version: 2.1
✓ Useless app, want refundI used it as they say, keep app open then lock phone. Morning time comes and no alarm. The iOS alarm I set as backup went off and when I unlocked my phone the app alarm started. Double click and swipe and it stops. So no real point to this app or likely any alarm apps.Version: 2.1
✓ Carrot, you naughtyI like this App, really do. I get the dark humour part, but felt that the comment this morning was not appropriate: "every time you push snooze I will kill a kitten". Just disturbing.....Version: 2.0
✓ UnreliableI hate to give this such a bad review as I do love carrot apps as they are very entertaining. But as I rely heavily on my alarm to wake me up, I have to say this is a miss. It does not always ring even with the phone not on silent mode. After setting the alarm, even though it knows how many hours till you have to wake up, if you click on it to check what time you should be waking, it would glitch and show you your previous alarm time. I would really appreciate it if this can be fixed as it’s been more than 2 years ago since it last updated. Other than that when it does ring it works well..Version: 2.1
✓ Not goodUnreliable only goes off when it feels like it.Version: 2.1
✓ Alarm needs phone to be left on app screen all night?I've been using a fair few different alarm apps over the last few years with similar results. Set the alarm, lock your phone and no matter what you are woken at the right time. However carrot needs to phone to stay on the app screen all night. My phone auto locked last night and then failed to sound the alarm. The other suggestion is to disable "do not disturb", which will open my sleep up to a barrage of notifications. Disappointed this doesn't have flexibility to function from a locked phone like others do!.Version: 1.1
✓ DON'T DO IT!!!I know it sounds amazing. You, like me, probably have trouble waking up. This alarm is not your savior. Even after giving all permissions, the app will still ONLY WORK IF THE APP IS ACTIVELY RUNNING with your phone unlocked. Even if it's running in the background it won't work. If you wake up, look at another app, and forget to make it the open one before you fall back asleep it WILL NOT WORK. Most settings are "unlocked" by waking up via the app over days of use, INCLUDING VOLUME CONTROL. If this was a free app these problems would be more understandable. On a paid app it's ridiculous. No wonder they don't have a preview version because no one would pay for it. >_____<.Version: 2.1
✓ Bad alarm clock, good comedianI love Carrot’s other apps so I tried this one. This is a barely functional alarm clock that says funny things and thinks it’s a game (You have to earn points to unlock practical functions). If that’s your thing, get it. Personally I want an alarm that lets you set multiple alarms, adjust settings as to how it goes off and what sound plays, etc. apparently this does SOME of those things if you earn it. I don’t have time for that..Version: 2.1
✓ Great app when it worksI've had this alarm for a year or so now and initially it was good but something (either iOS or CARROT update) has made it so that the alarm will only make noise if the phone is unlocked and the app is open. Pretty useless if you have to leave you phone unlocked all night every night..Version: 2.1
✓ Good idea, doesn't workTurning notifications on still doesn't make the alarm work. All I get is a list of notifications on the screen. Pity, as the idea has appeal..Version: 2.1
✓ DND has to be offfor this to work?Would be a great app if do not disturb didn't have to be turned off . Not worth sacrificing a peaceful nights sleep without your phone bothering you for a cool alarm clock . Otherwise this would have been the best alarm app I've seen by far. Do an update!!!! Fix DND thanks :).Version: 2.0
✓ Not reliableFailed my third night using the alarm. I followed the directions and left it on that screen when I went to bed. I woke up and it said “T minus 23 hours and 30 minutes”. It completely skipped my alarm time. Luckily I set some backup alarms on my phone because I was afraid that after I did the “chores” I’d fall back asleep. Tried it a few more nights to make sure it wasn’t just a mistake on my part. This has been totally unreliable not to mention a horribly uncomfortable way to wake up. Love that you can’t try it before buying, they force you into buying it whether you like it or not..Version: 2.1
✓ Paid for it and I still have to unlock featuresI would have rather saved my measly 3 dollars to purchase 1-ply toilet paper as it would be more effective of doing its job than this app. I saw the app and it’s features and thought I would give it a try. I rarely purchase apps at all, if that tells you anything. I’ve tried several other alarm clocks including alarmy, which does get me up, but also everyone else in the house too! I thought I’d give this a try with similar features, no ads and good reviews. So I bought the app to find out waking up is a game, I have to level up to open up all the features. At the very least I was severely disappointed with this game. Having trouble with Circadian rhythm disorder I was hoping an alarm clock app would be that, an alarm with varying features to separate itself from the other. Not a game to where I need to level up to unlock features that should have been part of the app to begin with. There are several free apps which already include these..Version: 2.1
✓ Not optimized for meatbag ears.Bought the $18 Carrot pack, but I really wish I could get my money back for this particular app. Several reviewers have it right, the app asks you to keep it running in the background, which, ok.. fine. But then the alarm itself is nowhere near loud enough to wake anyone but the lightest sleepers. Once you open the app it gets louder, which means it could be louder all along. You can unlock features, but since it only gives you one minute to catch the alarm, you never get to unlock them. I really like Carrot apps, and I like the concept, but it doesn't actually work as an alarm clock. Soooo... what's the point?.Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn’t workJust used it for the first time and it didn’t work. I left the app open as requested, had my notifications on, my phone wasn’t on silent and it still didn’t work. I bough that bundle of Carrot apps and I’m finding all of them to be glitchy in some way. Waste of money and they don’t respond to enquiries by emails or twitter..Version: 2.1
✓ Funny, but it didn't wake me up.I set the alarm, made sure my volume was all the way up, and do not disturb was set to turn off 15 minutes before alarm time, and made sure the app was running, and locked my screen. I woke up an hour late, to the sound of someone starting their vehicle outside. Nice idea, but it doesn't actually seem to work..Version: 2.1
✓ Good, except..I really like the whole idea of it, and I use her every morning. However, my volume is always down to the lowest it can go, but it still is extremely loud and kind of hurts my ears. Please change it..Version: 2.1
✓ App brokenThis app is largely broken after the iOS update. Not only is the wonderful voice gone and replaced by Stephen Hawking (no offense, but liked the female voice better) but I can’t get the app to work right anymore. It used to be that after I locked the screen for the night the phone would ring the “good” wake up call and I’d be able to unlock the screen and play the games to make Carrot happy. Now my alarm doesn’t even ring until a minute or two after my alarm time and it’s only the mean alarm. When I pick up my phone there’s 20+ notifications on the screen, but it didn’t make a peep until mean Carrot came out. Today instead of locking my screen I left it on all night. I wanted to see if that would make a difference and it did! The “good” Carrot actually woke me up, but when I reached for my phone to pick it up, simply lifting it was enough to trigger the snooze setting. That’s not what I wanted to do. I wanted to play the games with good Carrot and be done, but once again I got mean Carrot. I love this app but as it is now I don’t think it’s acting as intended. I’m hopeful that they fix these issues, but until they do I’ll be looking for a new alarm app..Version: 2.1
✓ Great alarm app except...I really like this concept. However, I cannot control the volume on it! I choose 25% and it still blasts! I even turn my phone volume right down. I want the alarm to wake me up not my entire house!.Version: 2.1
✓ This App need an updatePlease this app needs an update fast. It’s a beautiful app but at its present version it’s draining the life out my battery... it need to be optimised to save battery life and for the current iOS version Thank you.Version: 2.1
✓ Last updated 2 Years Ago...Really?.Version: 2.1
✓ Watch side of things needs workI just woke up with this app for the first time this morning. As far as my phone goes, it worked as expected. But there is a disconnect between the phone and the watch. At the alarm time my watch vibrates. There is no option to snooze on the watch (there should be) all you can do is dismiss it, in which case it just re-fires the notification immediately. So I pick up my phone and tell it to snooze. Then before the snooze period is expired, I pick up the phone and successfully go through the process (chores) of proving that I’m up. But.. minutes later, (at about the time the alarm would have sounded again) my watch starts going nuts again. Dismiss and it just keeps re-notifying and vibrating at me..Version: 2.1
✓ Ok with problemsLove the Carrot to do list but wish I'd read reviews before buying this. Some alarms are too quiet to wake you. Also, be aware that your phone has to be plugged in and charging w the app running to use this clock, which by itself is enough to make me revert to the iPhones built in alarm..Version: 1.0
✓ Alarm does not go off!!!I am using this on an iPhone 8 with iOS 11.4.1 and I have made sure that my DND is disabled before the time the alarm goes off. With the app running in the foreground, if I hit the power button to turn off the display, the alarm makes a little noise and pops up notifications saying I must be dead, but it does not go into full alarm mode. I have tried this while on the wireless charge and while plugged in. I contacted support and they suggested I leave it running in the foreground with the display on. This does work but it’s not an acceptable solution. It lights up the room even with the display brightness set to minimum and it’s not good for the lifetime of the backlight. I contacted support again and no response. Disappointed with my purchase..Version: 2.1
✓ Not as accessible as the other carrot apps :(Hi: I am a visually impaired (blind) iPhone user, and I use all the other carrot apps. If the carrot alarm app was more accessible with VoiceOver, I'd definitely use it. Apart from that, it's a great app :).Version: 2.1
✓ Environmentally irresponsible!This app could be good if only you didn't have to leave the app open and on charge over night as the instructions suggest. This is environmentally irresponsible. As if there isn't enough carbon emissions contributing to global warming..Version: 1.1
✓ DO NOT BUY! ABANDONED APP!!!This WAS the signature Carrot app way way way back in AppStore equivalent to earth’s Jurassic Period. Apparently Carrot’s parents have been somewhat preoccupied with the weather over the past few years and are still milking the four stars their clock app has for every sucker that will pay $2.99! The app was abandoned and hasn’t been updated in over THREE (3) YEARS. Archaic clunky interface and the developers should pull the app off of the App Store if they aren’t going to update it. This WAS a great app and could be again if the developers could get their LAZY A$$3$ OUT OF BED early enough to squeeze a few extra hours into their day to update it. Perhaps you guys could use that todo list app you built??? ;).Version: 2.1
✓ Needs improvementsOverall I love the CARROT apps, but this one falls short. It always talks loudly whenever you just open the app, which is very annoying. It must be left open, with the phone sound on, to actually wake you up. If you leave the app open but forget to take your phone off silent or forget to turn the volume up, it won't wake you up (it only buzzes if the sound is off). Once you open it, the app turns the sound wayyy up which seams unnecessary. It always says "the time is 12:00" no matter what time of day it is. I love the idea of having to do certain "chores" to shut it off, but it doesn't need to literally speak them. There should be a way to shut the voice off permanently. Reading the chores is enough, plus it ensures that you have to actually open your eyes! I find myself setting a backup alarm every day because I usually have my phone sound off all the time and usually forget to turn it on even if I remember to leave the app open. I really want to like this app but it definitely needs improvements to actually be a reliable alarm..Version: 2.1
✓ Great idea, but disappointing app.I think the voice is hilarious, and love the wake up exercises! It truly does get me out of bed and wake me up....when the alarm goes off. I've only had the app for a week, and have been setting the alarm for every morning, but it has only actually gone off twice. When I finally do get out of bed, I'll see the notifications from the app even though I heard no sound. I leave the app open and volume on as suggested, yet I'm still having problems. I love the concept, but I do wish it was more reliable - especially since I had to pay for it..Version: 2.1
✓ Doesn’t work with newest iOS update (12)I downloaded Carrot weather and not only loved it, but laughed hysterically at it. I decided to purchase the bundle of all the Carrot apps because I wanted that snark on multiple levels of my life. Unfortunately, the alarm app did not work at all. I followed instructions by putting opening it and turning the alarm on, leaving it open as I locked my phone to go to sleep. For 3 days in a row, the alarms did not go off. My rating is 2 stars to hopefully bring attention to this so it’s looked into by the developers and fixed..Version: 2.1
✓ DysfunctionalAs much as i want to give this a 5 star rating, i can’t bring myself to do it. i love the idea of the carrot apps, and i love the to do list app, however the alarm clock app just doesn’t make the cut. for it to wake you up, you have to keep the app running, turn on the ringer, and turn off do not disturb. this is a problem for me, because i will be woken up throughout the night by other apps (which i can’t turn off notifications for as they’re kinda important). my solution to this was keeping the volume low, however then i couldn't hear the alarm go off. if it would vibrate as well, then it would be great, because the surface i have to keep my phone on when charging causes the vibration of my phone to be extremely loud, but alas- it doesn’t seem to vibrate. the other issue i have with this app is that over half the time the alarm will not go off, even though i have the ringer on, the app open, and do not disturb is off. also, i’d appreciate if the app wouldn’t turn the volume unnecessarily high when you do the wake up tasks, as i wake up before others in my house, and i have received complaints about how loud it is. i have turned the app’s volume adjusting feature to 25%, however it doesn’t seem to actually make it lower. overall, when it works properly, the app is good, but there are rooms for improvement..Version: 2.1
✓ Great but annoyingI love CARROT and all the apps but this one is annoying only because it needs to be running the whole time and I can't lock the phone overnight or forget to have it charged. In case you didn't know, your iCloud syncs, software updates happen when it's charged and locked. And leaving the phone charged all the time kills the battery!!!.Version: 2.1
✓ Refund please! Amazing concept one major issueThis app does not work, left my phone on loud, notifications set to alert, phone left on charge and the app in the foreground, with so many complaints about this problem why don't you try fixing it? Updates have come and gone and yet this MAJOR bug hasn't been resolved. Guys, this is an alarm app (with a great concept by the way) if I didn't have a back up alarm I would have been screwed for work, thrice! (3x).Version: 2.1
✓ Have to keep your phone unlockedThis app would be grate but if you lock your phone and/or its on do not disturb mode, you can't hear carrot and after a while she quits and cancels the alarm. Unlike clock (Apple's app) you need to have the volume turned up instead of ring. Carrot is also not compatible with Apple Watch....Version: 2.1
✓ Not Ideal For Me1. You have to unlock every single tiny feature or pay more to unlock them faster. This is very slow unless I assume, you but every single little task you do (even if you complete them immediately) into the app. 2. The app is so slow to open. The app lets you know it’s angry with you when you open it, then let’s you reread it over again, then tap a dozen times, then again, then see all Carrots other apps/store. Now you can add a task. (This is the same on an iPhone X & 8 Plus, I know... Apple Fanboy Problems...) 3. Where’s the personality? The first couple times it’s funny, I prefer the sarcastic remarks. But the AI gets bored with it almost faster than you do. After days of ‘okay’ and ‘hmmm’ responses I question why I use this app over any other. So that’s why after buying the bundle I am keeping the weather app and deleting the rest..Version: 2.1
