1. Make sure it's "not optimized." Otherwise it won't alarm in the morning if the phone is not plugged in - apparently "optimized" means Android will disable the clock at night to save battery power.
2. Turning off optimization for this one app doesn't seem to affect battery life, and it makes sure the alarm works.This used to be a very reliable app but lately it hasn't been so much.
3. This glitch could have caused a big problem for me, which is why I'm sharing.Works well, but you need to go to settings > apps > Alarm Clock (this app) > battery > manage battery usage.
4. The thing that I don't care for is that the programmer made it so that the screen automatically dims as soon as you finish setting up your alarm and makes it very difficult to even see the buttons to go back to your desktop... That function in my opinion should be a user setting.I use this app every day.
5. The last 2 days my morning alarm hasn't gone off at all, and I've been late to work as a result.
6. I knew right away because I have used this app for YEARS as my alarm clock, and I woke to a nlank, black screen in the night.
7. If the reliability issues were fixed, this is a 5-star appThis app has had issues lately that have made the alarm unreliable.
8. It would be great if they could open up this app to use external access alarm tones.This app worked beautifully for a long time.
9. If you miss the initial option to dismiss or snooze, it disappears and you are stuck listening to your alarm until you can Force Stop the app, which is extremely stressful and aggravating.
10. I have to restart my phone after I turn my deactivate the alarm.
11. I had to install another alarm clock, so I can get reliable service.I have used this app for years.
