About Wake-up Light
This app turns your Android device into a wake-up light. Just set the alarm and leave your device by your bed.
Your light will start about 20 minutes before wake-up time at minimum brightness and then slowly increase towards your wake-up time. When your alarm rings you will wake up smooth and naturally.
This app will also play sounds from the nature, which increases in volume in sync with screen brightness. This helps you wake up even more easily!
New: You can now choose what color the wake-up light should be!
NOTE: This app works best when used on devices with large, bright displays. Tablets are perfect! I've tested the app myself with the Samsung Galaxy 10.1, Nexus 7 and other tablets and it works great!
Several new features are planned, stay tuned!
You can configure how long before your alarm rings the light should start. A good value here is about 20-30 minutes.
Connect your device to a charger to avoid draining the battery.
Please send me an e-mail if this app does not work on your device or if you got a suggestion for an improvement.
Note: It's not recommended to use custom screen locker apps together with this app, as they may conflict with each other.

I strongly dislike blaring alarms and this light has yet to fail to wake me up. Plus, since I got it, it has been upgraded to allow you to choose your days. I use this on a Samsung Galaxy Tablet 2 10 inch.

Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2. Test function works fine, comes on fine when tablet is already in wake state. When tablet is asleep, only comes on at preset light level, no sound.

I used to love this alarm, but recently I have found the sound no longer works (no noise all). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as per other reviews, but this had no effect. Samsung galaxy S4, so it's not like I'm using a strange device.

Bought the app last night. When it started this morning there was no gentle gradation., it was just full on. It was like a flashlight in my face. Please fix.

When this application works I like it but lately it's been quirky. Can't test light, sound is instantly full blast not a subtle increase in volume. Though some days without making any changes to anything it just works fine. HTC DNA user

I tried it this morning and I woke with the light but will add the sounds in tomorrow for a little more umph to my alarm. I don't like that if I touch my screen at all it turns off the alarm instantly; I wish there was one more step to ask for confirmation that I want to turn it off. Good so far, will be better once I play with my personal settings.

Exactly what i was looking for. Would love the ability to set multiple alarms (I have different wake times). Also would like integration of camera light, in the event I put my phone down the wrong way. Thanks for the app!

Great app, works as it should. Really pleased someone had the idea to do this as an adroid app! So much nicer waking up to light instead of jarring noises! Thank you!

Use this every day, to get a better morning. I only wish the screen would fade in from black to the color you have selected. I usually wake up just after the screen is turned on. Since it starts with a bright color on the screen, there is much light when it turns on. Will change to 5 stars if this is implemented!

This app seems full of bugs, sometimes the alarm doesn't go off at all, sometimes it goes off in the middle of the night, and sometimes it just constantly flashes and won't let me turn it off. You can't change the brightness of the light either. If I could return it I would.

I really appreciate the idea, it is the kind of alarm I've been looking for. I think it will be even better to include snooze and set the time for individual days.

Great waking up method, this morning I didn't suffer at all to wake up. If/once you can set weekly waking up patters I will upgrade to 5 stars

Running it on a 4.1 tablet, a 4.0 phone and a 2.3.3 phone. Just wish that the settings icon in 4+ also showed in 2+ version.

I have a HP Touchpad and a Samsung Vibrant. Tablet is awesome but the phone not so much because the screen doesn't light up the room as much. Great!

A warning to those that secure their GalTabs, this wake-up light gets eclipsed by some lock screen applications -- like WidgetLocker. I'm not willing to unsecure my GalTab so this app can work properly.
