Still the best alarm clock. Great premium features and lets me buy what I need, and leave what don't. Also the bedside clock is one of the coolest transitions on a smart phone and it's dark enough for home and hotel rooms.
Nice way to wake up, easy to use. Not sure if it's a bug or deliberate, but after I swipe to turn off the alarm, I then cannot exit the app without first swiping right a couple of times to view the weather etc (which aren't even set up for my location as it's the free version) which is mildly annoying. Overall a good app for what I need it to do (wake me up gently with light).
The first morning I woke up and thought, "did I leave my window open? wait, it's not the season for birds." It was a pleasant wake up. However, this morning it didn't go off so I checked it and for whatever reason the time got moved from the morning to 9:48PM and the daily repeat that I had going had suddenly turned off?? I certainly didn't change it—in fact, I checked it before I went to bed and it said the time in the morning and daily—and I don't live with anybody so idu what happened.
Absurdly expensive.
