Gentle Alarm Clock App Reviews

Ok. Easy to use, but doesnt compare to Gentle Alarm by Mobitobi for Droid. Would like a vibrate only option and to download my own music.

This has everything u could want except for one key detail; the alarm will NOT play if ur phone is on silent mode. Make sure that u turn the sound tab (top left corner) on or u will be late to work. Please fix this issue with an update.

Nice sounds, easy to navigate, but randomly changed the alarm date to next week so the alarm didnt sound when it should have. This happened twice- its weird.

This app doesnt work well. It didnt sound I guess because the phone was on silent and it disactivated my regular phone alarm that I had put on just on case.

Despite the not so great reviews I gave this app a chance because I wanted non-jarring alarm clock sounds. As others noted, if the phone is on silent (muted by the slider upper left on phone) no alarm. When the alarm goes off it gives you message alert which you have to click, it opens the app, and then you click again to turn the alarm and sound off. Which you will want to do because the sounds are super lame. The bowls and bell-type sounds are jarring, mostly high pitched except for one particularly ugly low pitched wind chime sound, and many others are like circa 1980s new age music. The bird calls are among the most pleasant options. Im deleting the app and wish there was a refund for clunky interface and poorly selected and executed sound.

I ignored the bad comments and thought Id give this app a chance. The results: Great. Alarm works well, and very relaxing wake up tunes. I only gave it 4 stars because I wish there were some more sounds.

Its just what I was after and its exactly what it promises to do. Reliable, relaxing, zen, but not too soothing to where it doesnt do its job of waking you up. Lots of sound options.

Why wont the alarm sounds play? I cant even get the sound samples to work. Worthless piece of crap app.

I love waking to the sounds of birds! Fast, friendly and personal service from tech support!

I wanted to love this app because I loved the sound options, particularly Random Sound. But, first, the UI is pretty lackluster, and second, the second night I tried to use it, the alarm kept going off and the app kept crashing when I tried to reset it. Too bad.

It stopped working after the first day!!

Beautiful sounds to wake up to. Have had no problems with the app

Didnt work for me. Didnt wake me up. The very short section of music & other sounds was annoying not gentle. I also did not like that you had to reset the alarm everyday. great idea, poor execution.

Very happy with app

Inexpensive but had to say we didnt find any of the sounds "gentle", strident and piercing maybe! -but then they didnt have one that said, "sorry to wake you, sweetie, but breakfasts ready!"

Luckily I also set my phone alarm because this one never went off. I also do not like that you cannot mute your phone for this to work. Waste of money.

I use the random setting... there are only a few (so far) that I dont particularly care for... but they are all better than the ugly blare of the alarm clock... I just always make sure that the volume is up... wakes me up just fine.

This app needs a lot of work. Tested alarm. It worked but couldnt shut it off. Finally got it tuned off, reset for the morning and it never went off. Followed all the directions for notifications and my phone was not muted. Waste of 99 cents.

A really nice variety of sounds. The random feature is great. All the additional sounds were a nice addition and definitely worth the buck. You definitely dont need to reset the alarm as one user said, it has day of the week settings!

I think some users may have their volume down or mute switch on, this alarm works perfectly! Ive had it for several updates and each one improves either the sounds or interface. Good stuff.
