![]() ![]() ![]() Do yourself a favor, keep looking for a replacement if you have to go one by one, because this one does not cut it. I’m sick of this app, I thought it was the stock app that came with the phone, and although it probably did come with it I wasn’t even sure it was deletable until today because I never bothered to look. This is not a supermarket app with Coupons where when you’re scrolling you can accidentally activate something no loss no gain really. It should at the very least and I stress the very least ask you if you are sure you want to delete it. Left and right swiping to delete alarms really needs to go, it’s an appropriate tool for something this important. Additionally, I missed a doctors telehealth appointment this morning because of this app, which is why I’m here looking to download replacements. And sometimes the alarm goes off but it’s not a very low rate and we don’t know why. I don’t know what happened to this app in the last few years, but lately in just the last two weeks alone, I have “lost“ several alarms it disappeared mysteriously. Read the other reviews as of lately, they are right. This is one-star behavior for a clock app however, I gifted it two stars because the timer and stopwatch have continued to work well for me. I hadn’t touched anything since confirming they were both on just 15 minutes prior. Sure enough, checking the alarms again, both the alarm and the backup were turned OFF. I lay there waiting for the alarm to sound again, but it seemed to be taking longer than 9 minutes. I hit the snooze button for the first alarm, was awake enough to think to check on the alarms, and both the first alarm and the backup were on. ![]() I finally just confirmed that it’s not me-it’s the Clock app. I’ve been wondering whether I have somehow in my sleep been managing to turn the alarms off rather than hitting snooze after they sound however, I don’t always remember them having gone off at all. (Trying to remember when this started happening, but it was within this past year, I think.) I even started setting a backup alarm for 30 minutes later than the first, but still sometimes ended up waking late to find all alarms off. I’ve overslept a number of times recently, in spite of setting an alarm. I think this app has just been neglected or de-prioritized and is in need of a little TLC by developers or more people are going to stop using it. Either way, after being a lifelong apple clock app user, I am considering deleting it and finding another one. I can’t remember when exactly I started noticing this but I think it may have been after an update. I now have to use multiple alarms, as I can never trust the snooze is going to work. I know lots of people use calendar reminders for this reason, but why not build in a calendar to make the alarm app more functional?Īnother issue I’ve noticed more recently is, the swipe to snooze is so touchy that more times than not the alarm doesn’t swipe down properly and turns off rather than showing the option to snooze or turn off. For example, when I find out I need to wake up early for a flight 3 Fridays from now, why don’t I have the option to set the alarm for the day I need it to go off? The current option forces you to set it for every Friday. It would also be nice to be able to set an alarm for a particular date rather than just the standard day of the week. It would be cool if there was a way to group alarms for various tasks/activities into folders. I’ve used this app for as long as I can remember and the long list of alarms I set for various reasons gets to be confusing. ![]()
