AlarmDroid (alarm clock)

Like lots of other users, I have been using this app for years & loved the reliability but now it's far from reliable! Doesn't always go off when I need it to so I'm having to set a backup alarm on the phones on alarm clock... Pointless having this app now if it's not going to do what it's supposed to! Also, I tried contacting the developer about this issue & never got back to me.... I paid for the add version as well so really not a happy camper!

Have been using it for years and loved it. With the latest update however, I (as do many others, apparently) get no sound. Unfortunately a silent message saying "Cannot play back audio file" won't wake me up In the morning.

Love the app, have used it for years. However, since I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S8, the alarm has been going off at random times during the day. Today I was at work and my 6:50am alarm started going of at 10:15. It has done this at random times probably a dozen times over the last month... Luckily it hasn't done it during a meeting yet.

I have used this app for years and I loved it. Last two weeks it is not working, blinks really quick and resets itself seberal times, and then never goes off to wake me up. Tested it to see what was going on, did the same thing. I rely on this too much.

It is annoying to set Alarm sound for every schedule. Please do it in such a way that one can choose the alarm sound of one's choice and make it a default "Alarm Sound" for all. Fix this in your next update and you will get 5 stars from me.

It's EXTREMELY customizable, maybe even too customizable. I wish it had different modes: "simple", "light customizable", "extremely customizable". I had been with this app since the beginning but it just became too much. Plus the ads became very annoying, 2-3 clicks on the app = ad. I'm switching to an ad free simpler alarm.

Not reliable anymore. I've been using this app for years! Loved it. I have the Note 8 now and it's failed me 3 times. I'm uninstalling it after this review. I was late for work, late taking my daughter to school and late taking my nephews to school. I've tried different setting and it just keeps failing me.

I use it for speaking clock... you broke it and filled it with adds... thanks, you made my clock a money hungry paperweight. I guess i'll find an older version somewhere, and remember why i don't do updates to software that works... you used to rock, now you suck... back to the black screen version.

Used to love this app. But over the last few versions and two different phones I've had problems with it randomly not responding to taps in configuration menus. I waited for it to be fixed in newer versions but finally I give up. Uninstalling.

I have used this alarm for many years. Until a few weeks ago when I bought a new phone the note 8. I have a couple alarms set to wake me up in the morning. But ever since I have installed it on my new phone. The alarm has not been reliable to me. There has been multiple times it hasn't went off or one alarm will ring twice and then shut off with no notice. I have changed many settings with no luck in resolving the issue. I would like the issues fixed so I could continue using this app with no worry.

Pretty simple to figure out how to use. Unfortunately, the current temp and the forecasted high are always wrong. Said it was 49° with fog. Actually, it was 57° and clear. Unfortunately, I will uninstall. Suggestions: 1) Perhaps you can use zip codes to be more accurate with "Today's Max Temp" and "Today's Weather Conditions." 2) add different speaking voice options; a gentleman's voice would be nice. 3) stop the ad from scrolling at the bottom; it's distracting and may use up a lot of battery juice.

Have had this app for years and now it only works when it wants to! I see it's very common with the new update hope they will fix soon as I have been late to work 3 times not realizing that the app wasn't working thought I just slept through it :(

Lots of problems the past few weeks. Alarms don't go off. Has become too unreliable and will be finding another app. Hope they fix it because it was great until now.

I've happily used this alarm for years and loved it. However, for the last few weeks my alarm turns off within a second without my input. I have missed the alarm making me late on a few days. Sadly I'll have to stop using what was the best alarm on Android.

I have relied on this app for years and loved it. Don't know what happened but now it freezes, I can't select an alarm and edit it, I can't create a new alarm. I'm really frustrated and will have to find another app. So sad!

This worked beautifully with my Sony Xperia Z3 compact. With my new Samsung galaxy j3 no so good. Alarm sound level is always max. No matter the setting in the or phone when alarm starts it is 100% sound level.

Have loved this alarm for years, right up until the latest update and now it doesn't work! Spending so much time now trying to find a replacement that has all the options I like about this one. I emailed the developer, no response. With so many complaining about it not working now you would think they would fix it.

I love this app. 3 months and its awesome! Edit: had for a very long time. Recent updates screwed things up and now it's as unreliable as a Ford vehicle. Look elsewhere and uninstall.

I've used this app for years also. Now it has become unreliable and regularly does not work. Same settings as always... fix it please!

8/4/11 update: App suddenly STOPPED working . Alarms don't go off. What happened??? Samsung Epic 4G. 12/19/17 New review-App stopped working after update. No alarms are working-class. What happened?? (Again). Galaxy S7

Like other users, I have been using this app as my default for years and I could understand when they started filling it with ads, but now it very often doesn't even go off during its scheduled time. I thought it was me until it failed to wake me for work for the third time and I decided to come and check the reviews. Do not download.

Loved this app for years... Hurry up and fix it so it can play back audio files again and wake me up... I've been late for work too many times now on random occasions... Using another app instead.

I used to LOVE this app. But this past week, it hasn't been working. I set the alarm before going to bed, in the morning I find that its turned off but never rang. And I have obstacles set, so I would remember if I had shut it off.

Was good and reliable for a lot of years but recently doesn't play audio so have to choose a new song. Also had it not go when it was set so kind of useless if I can't rely on it.

I've been using this app for years, and at the beginning of this week it just stopped working. I can run a test alarm and it will work but for some reason, my morning alarms do not work.

This has been working great over a year. With the update no sounds. I get an error message. Unfortunately I am going to have to uninstall as it has stopped working. Gave 3 stars as it was working until the update

Worked well for years but this week it failed to go off twice. Nothing like scrambling to get to work on time.

It seems that the more that Android is updated, the less reliable this application seems to work. This used to be a 5-star app, but it has fallen quite a bit in the last year or so.

Used to be my favourite alarm, however since my new phone and thus new version of this app (autoupdates were off on my old phone) it isn't accurate anymore. Too bad.

Use to work awesome but since last update it will not keep the ringtone sound I set for alarms. Uninstalling because I am so disappointed.

The app is amazing, but giving it only 3 stars because of a major bug in my opinion: When my phone is paired with a blue tooth speaker, and the alarm goes off, it will off on the phone as well, as if the phone was not paired. Fix this and you get 5 stars

Still the best alarm clock app by far. Been a user since Motorola Defy was first released. 5+ stars!

Just adding to all the other recent reviews here that this app is no longer reliable. Was almost late to work twice because it didn't go off. Don't bother taking your chances with this one. Uninstalling!

Used for a long time but has stopped working. As an alarm is so important, I have no choice but to use a different app now.

Used to work really well and now it does. Sometimes alarm work and sometimes it's not. Not reliable at all. Uninstalling after 4 years of use.

Alarm not playing sound!! Made me late for work...says can't play audio file Love the new update works well and looks a lot better, just miss the 'shorthand' alarm countdown widget.. 6h46m instead of the full words or it would be 5 stars!

Need to fix ASAP! I've used this for 6 years and bought the pro version - now it says it can't play audio file. Nearly missed work because of it! Please fix.

Have been my go to alarm app for years but stopped working (no sound). An alarm app that cannot be relied is simply unreliable and can have unfortunate consequences! Too bad, uninstalling.

Great BUT - the latest version, under Android 8, a 7:55 alarm went off at 8:03. Phone was stationary for an hour, so it sounds like a background issue with Android 8.

Note 8: this alarm used to work every time. Now it bypasses certain days. Tried deleting and replacing the same days, it will work for awhile then it doesn't work. This app was once my favorite. Now I have to find a different one. I can't be late for work.
