Early Bird Alarm Clock for Android
As a nurse working 3 12-hour shifts per week my schedule changes each week. The calendar feature is amazing for people who don't have a regular schedule, but still want to have a 'set it and forget it' alarm clock. I love the snooze feature too which tells you the time when it wakes you up again. So helpful! Those are just my favorite features. All the other features you would expect are there and more.
This app is reliable. I love being able to schedule my alarms to suit my lifestyle. My only complaint is that on some theme colors the android buttons don't show up very good, so exiting the app becomes impossible if you cant see the buttons. I've been using it for over two months without being able to get out. Now that I've changed my theme colors, I finally see that it was far easier this whole time.
Oh my goodness!!!! I started setting up this alarm after sleeping from 12 in the afternoon to 6:30 the next morning and totally missing the time I was supposed to pick up my toddler from daycare, by God's grace my best friend had her phone in her hand when they called!!! Usually she would have been asleep with ringer off!! So I couldn't take another chance since I will be working graveyards for 3 days out of the week and going to school too!
Amazing app. Best of all is the timer, where you can add minutes in increments, instead of awkwardly entering the numbers. And the alarms of course are great, with all the details covered for any minor adjustments you'd want. I tried this app after my last app didn't agree with the android update, and it was so much better than I expected.
I love the features, but I wish I could see two improvements: 1) I wish I could have recurrences based on the date (i.e. every 28th day of the month) and an iteration of a day of the week during the month (i.e. every second Friday of the month). 2) If an alarm is snoozed, I would like to be able to still access and edit the other alarms. Other than that, keep up the great work!
This is exactly what I've been looking for. I always have trouble getting up in the mornings and this app has helped so much. I especially love that the ringtone is silenced while you work in the math problem or sentence so that you don't accidentally wake up everyone in the house.
At 1st I really loved this app. It could be true again if the problems were fixed. I'm only allowed to set 4 alarms & now the calender will not show.( even after deleting 2 alarms.)because of my health issues I have a lot of appointments. This seemed like the perfect app. I hope these issues are resolved soon.
Almost the perfect alarm. The one issue is the only difference between snooze and off is a swipe left or right. And only a small icon tells me which way to swipe. That's a bit too error prone at 6 am. A large snooze button on the lock screen and using the power button as the off button would be perfect. I'd pay a lot for that combo!
I have narcolepsy and getting up in the morning can be a real challenge. I stumbled across this app last week and it has changed my life! I am no longer fearful that I will sleep through alarms! And such an easy format to the use....! If waking up is your problem, YOU MUST TRY THIS APP! Susan in Worthinģton, OH
Simple, Works - just make sure not to also have normal Android alarms at the same time as the app alarms. It could make it troublesome dismissing the apps alarms
I love the brain games that make sure I don't just hit snooze or turn the alarm off. These games wake up my brain and make it so that's awake, and then I can't get back to sleep so I get up anyways.
Great app... gets me up at 4am????????????.. and keeps nudgin me if I don't get out my warm, comfy bed first time.. thank you early bird ... you get me to work on time????????
I love this app it wakes me up every morning but before i had this on my normal alarm i used to just go to sleep bit now i have this alarm clock i eill wake up every day for school definetly keeping this app better than my normal app by the way samsung is the best.
Hands down the absolute best alarm. Don't know where to start. Every aspect is spot on: design, alarm features, timer widget. Can't say enough. Easily one of my top 10 apps. Thank you, developers!
Love this app.... This is the one of the only app that I don't feel that I am forced to buy the Pro edition, and for that I am actually buying the Pro edition because I have such respect for the developer(s). Thanks for making such a great app! Look forward to seeing how this app improves in the future!
This app would be great, but alarms set for today (e.g. 1hr from now for a nap) don't go off, even after I've double checked they really are set for today and not tomorrow or a particular day of the week. Instead, they just stay in the alarm list and then the next day still say they'll go off 'today'. This has messed up my sleep schedule twice now and completely kills the app for me.
Love that you can completely customise this app, add as many alarms as you like, and I also love that there aren't many disruptive ads. This is the best alarm app I've used, simple and charming, I don't think I'll find anything better!
Taking into consideration that I am a VERY hard sleeper,I am rather impressed. I have downloaded half a dozen of these sort of apps and this one is the most user friendly and will not stop going off until you finish the task you put forth. lol I have actually shut off my phone because I didn't want to finish them! But it gets me up at the buttcrack of dawn and that's the important part!!
Good variety of options for waking up- can choose from a bunch of ringtones and different ways to turn off the alarm. Personal preference, but I would prefer to choose any number of "snoozes", like 2 instead of 1 or 3
Superb replacement for Google clock, great functions, ui and very reasonable pro price. 1 thing that would made it perfect for me is a notification for the stopwatch (like you have in the timer), use this frequently in Gclock, hope you consider this. Many thanks
Google Clock kept crashing so I tried Early Bird out. Works well and has no app breaking ads. Will continue to use.
This app is great in that I can set up a sequence that needs to be completed of a variety of things. I love the copy one. If you add the option to disable phone shut off (like Alarmy has) I will rate five stars and buy the Pro edition. That's a promise
Love the feature that announces the time. I sometimes lose track of how many times i hit snooze and this lets me know exactly how much time i have left.
The lighting is perfect never failed me on the alarm so very easy to use I've gone through a lot of them this is number one
I like the alarm a lot, the fact you can say any QR code is good,and the calendar and weather are nice to see when I wake up..I wish there was a power off disable.. I am a hard sleeper and have powered my phone off before and slept too long. Other then that it's great.
Tried quite a few alarm apps and this one was by far the best, especially on the feature front. Great alarm time, increasing volume, read out the time and reading or a memo (that's been a life saver a few times). Free to use but this was an easy purchase to support the Dev for me.
Love the timer widgets. Only con is that the alarm takes a minute to load after it starts ringing I just have to let it ring for at least 5-10 seconds before I have the option to snooze or dimiss it.
I like that it tells you the time when the alarm goes off and that you can adjust the volume of each. I do not wake up well to annoying sounds, so the volume adjustment is key.
I like the QR code scan function because I taped a QR code to the coffee maker! In order to turn off my alarm I have to walk to the coffee maker, so I end up never hitting the snooz button because I'm already out of bed and in need of a cup of coffee to start the day.
I think I have a lot more exploring to do with this app after reading the other reviews. I had no idea it has other functions. For me it has been a great alarm. The voice reminder keeps me from sleeping through the alarm. Good job! Thanks!
Great alarm,very loud I love that I can adjust the volume. Best alarm app I've had.
Pretty awesome, very loud. Wakes me up evetytime
STOPS WORKING THEN I'M LATE FOR WORK BECAUSE THEY WANT A REVIEW
Sometimes it doesn't ring at all, despite it was supposed to. It isn't in a log either, so I'm sure I didn't just dismiss it. edit: Finally works, thank you.
Great, if you wanna wake up! It irritates the sleep out of you.
Why it doesnt work when my phone is off? I've enabled the option in auto-start management
Great, has all the features i need, skip next is the best, the schedule you can set is better than most by a long shot, plus it is hard to accidentally dismiss the alarm, so you multi snoozers are safer with this app.
Just what I need before my morning coffee that's some one to wake me up. Does it jobs perfectly and better than other applications used as this atleast doesn't crash
Sometimes the app will not run the alarm in dnd. I've missed 2 tests because of this and the alarm log always says it was instantly dismissed . Used to work great

What I most loved about the factory installed android clock (before it stopped working reliably) was that it would turn my phone on.. I can't find any other clock I like as much as Early Bird. Only downside is it won't work when my phone is in airplane mode, but huge thanks to the developer for helping me try to figure out why.. if anyone else using Lollipop has this issue please email the app developer. .
