Alarm is Unreliable

I’ve been using this app full time as my alarm clock for about 5 years now. I put it on whatever is my “previous” iPhone, put it in a dock next to my bed, set the display to never sleep, and presto, an awesome smart alarm clock with modern features alarm clocks should have, and no wood paneling!

But over the last month or so, it’s had a big problem. The alarm doesn’t make a sound! About 50% of the time, when the alarm goes off, no audio comes out. Visually, you can see that the alarm is going off. It’s totally random: sometimes if you hit snooze on a silent alarm, the second alarm 10 minutes later WILL make sound. Sometimes it’s the opposite of that. Sometimes neither will make a sound. Sometimes both will. It’s totally random and totally unreliable. And yes the problem isn’t my old phone’s volume.

I formerly loved this app for years. However it is an alarm clock, and it randomly can’t wake me up. Thus it has gone from the best alarm clock in the world, to the worst alarm clock in the world. Gotta give it one star, and now I’ll be searching the app store for a replacement. “My alarm clock app has a bug!” is not going to be a valid excuse for oversleeping and being late for work, sadly.
