Wake light really works. Unfortunately today it randomly started at 1.57am even though set for 6am. No idea why but now am wide awake which is not helpful

I have been working at a job where I have been having to get up before dawn and this app has been great in helping me get up on time and not feeling sleepy/awaking me in the right part of my sleep cycle. It slowly gets brighter, mimicking the reds of sunrise, so it's a more natural awakening. Plus, I have mine playing birds that slowly get louder. There is one bird that is loud/alarmish, and the rest are chirping normally - just like they do at dawn. In sum, its a slow wake process vs the jolt of an alarm whilst one is in deep sleep in a dark room. With this app, I am almost always up and about before the max noise/light/vibrate goes off. Yes, there are actually lights you can buy that do the same thing, but for 10$ for the pro vs 30$, this is the better deal and (for me) works just as well. As far as I am concerned, it is a good bargain. The one thing I'd love to see added in the premium is a way to combat jet lag, so if you are traveling, you can slowly change your time before your trip.

Great idea - trying to decide if I actually want to buy a wake up light and this is the closest thing! Awesome. I wish there were more sounds available though...:(

Having only 5 birds repeat the same call over and over again, tells me that you've never been outside. It is not a relaxing way to wake up in the morning.

Almost as effective as frozen marbles or an espresso enema, if this app were a vacuum cleaner it would be a Dyson.

Great app that outperforms off-the-shelf alarm clocks that cost at least 5x more. The slow build-up of alarm volume and the light make for a peaceful experience rather than being jolted awake. Leaving the clock on screen with red text is a nice touch that lets you check the time without burning your eyes at night. After a week's use, I did experience a one-time bug where my screen brightness is locked at maximum after the alarm goes off, but restarting my phone cleared the issue and it hasn't happened since.
