Alarm Clock Plus★ for Android
nexus 5x, marshmallow: multiple alarms, many settings, gentle volume rise feature, works okay. major issue is there is no alarm indicator on task bar, and does not use new Android 6 Doze API... it works okay when plugged in, which activates Daydream mode, but even then a 6:47 alarm doesn't ring until 6:50. I have since replaced this with Caynax alarm clock which also has gently interesting volume, plus uses Doze API correctly and has more sophisticated scheduling options.
Frequently will not go off when scheduled. Ex if scheduled 5pm, I pick up phone at 5 03 to see what time it is and then it alarms. Or i set the alarm and it literally does not go off. It is an old ap. and I don't think it functions well any longer. It was consistent with daily alarms but it completely missed one today. It nearly always fails to alarm on the one time alarm.
A simple but sleakly designed alarm app. Multiple alarms can be set and customized. (edit: Apr 2016. On samsung galaxy s7 edge, sometimes does not play and may be off. Such as my alarm going off 40 minutes early and only playing for 5 seconds.) Would be 4 stars without this issue.
This used to be my favorite and most recommended app but it doesn't work right anymore. Several times over the last few weeks my alarm just doesn't go off. At first I thought maybe I had slept through it or accidentally shut it off but it started getting more frequent. The past few days it's not working at all. I've tried deleting and reinstalling but nothing works. Had to change from 5 star rating to a 1. Recommend finding another alarm that is reliable.
It's abandon-ware. I really liked (and paid a relatively high app cost, for what this is) the Ad-free version. It USED TO BE a great alarm clock app. Now the main app has a tendency to get hidden when the alarm is going off, and the is no way to snooze or dismiss. You have to either force stop or easier (so as not to annoy those around you) restart your phone. Also no way to get the paid-for "No Ads" version.
I have used this alarm app for years, it has been pretty reliable probably about 97%. Suddenly it is not doing well at all. Maybe not compatible with my new Samsung phone? It works some days, but sometimes it is late and some days it doesn't go off at all. I set 3 morning alarms just in case one doesn't work, but some days none work. I'm going to have to download a backup app. ☹
I had used this app on my old phone for two years. It was reliable and easily customizable to meet my needs. HOWEVER, I upgraded to the S7 and Marshmallow last week and ever since, the app has proven unreliable and only works some of the time. After scrolling through reviews here and other alarms, I realize it is Marshmallow at fault, not the app. I would appreciate an update soon so I can have my favorite app back again. Until then, 3 stars.
I've been using this phone alarm clock for a few months now. It has many excellent features. It also works well, without conflicts with my other apps. So I would give it 5-stars, except for the highly inappropriate advertising it keeps displaying. My phone does not have a computer virus, nor does it need cleaning. These are the kind of adverts that make me suspicious about the people who wrote this alarm clock app. To be sure, I'll probably delete it in the next day or so.
I usually set multiple alarms for the morning so if I accidentally dismiss one, I have back-ups. For the last two days, my back-up alarms have not gone off. Has anyone else had this problem? If I can't rely on this alarm to work properly all the time, I will need to find another one. Edit: Only works correctly 1/3 times. Uninstalling and looking for something more reliable.
Change my rating to a 1 -- after using the app for more than 2 years, both my wife and I have had the alarm randomly stop going off when set. Cleaning cache, reinstalling nothing worked so now I just uninstalled it. Love that I can put in more than four alarms and love the nap feature.
I had to wipe my phone and needed to reinstall an alarm clock. My short memory had me forgetting what I had previously. So I tried a half dozen of the top free apps, every one of them couldn't meet the sound level needed. This widget, although multi-useful, is exactly what I need to wake me out of a deep sleep. Kudos to this app.
Update as of Oct/16: Still loving this app. Now that I have a real job though, that has an irregular schedule, it would be amazing to have a feature that lets me set alarms to certain days of the month instead of only repeating weekdays. Would have been handy in college too! I seriously love this app. Its got everything I could ever possibly want in an alarm clock, plus other fun features I never would've thought of. No real issues, easy to use, great features, and very effective.
Looooove this app. I love that I can have the flashing light in addition to playing my own happy music to wake up to. Just discovered the nap feature, too. There are so many features I haven't even taken the time to learn. It's one of my favorite apps ever and missed it when I was on an iPhone. Honestly was one of the reasons I switched back to droid. Not sure if it's iPhone-friendly now or not. Wish it worked with spotify to play for a lullaby and automatically shut off after a set time.
I used to be this apps biggest fan; however, since at some point it went from being an ad free platform to now having ads. I got this app because the free version was great and it was ad free. Now I've sent 2 emails to the developer over the past two weeks with absolutely no response. As soon as I find a new one I'll dump this one. My advice: BUYER BEWARE!!!
UPDATE This app used to be the best! Now it only works intermittently. Alarm times are only accurate 50% of the time - when it works. Alarms don't work half the time. This app is awesome! I travel a lot and this app helps me stay on time. The nap function is great. If I'm on the road and can't drive any further, I just find a safe place to park and set the nap timer. I'm back on the road in 60 or 90 minutes and have avoided putting myself or others in danger.
this is absolutely my fav alarm app, but lately the alarms no longer goes off on time, its usually a few minutes late and sometimes the snooze wont even come back, these functions are kind of important for an alarm to have. After reading others comments, I realize that this is an update issue and has yet to be fixed. I'll check out the app again in the future, but for now, im going to switch to something more reliable. You also can't preview the alarm tone sound.
This alarm can be configured to do most of the schedules I need it to - with a little creative forethought - but it loses a star for reliability. Over the last few years it has failed to go off at the specified time on at least a dozen occasions. It wouldn't sound the alarm until I opened the app up to verify if it was set and then suddenly it would start buzzing/flashing/ringing. Because of this, I use a second alarm in conjunction with this one for important occasions. Overall I'm very happy with it.
Just what the title says. Seriously not okay for an alarm clock app to randomly not go off. I've reinstalled, checked it the night before, made sure it's the default alarm, etc. Running stock rom on a Galaxy S5. Just no point on keeping this when I just have to keep setting a second alarm or not sleep well because I'm worried about it not going off. Does have good features though. I really like the gentle wake up & music alarm.
Was 5 stars easily. Never had an issue for 5 years. **Update** my phone and the app both updated recently and now the alarm doesn't always go off. Sometimes it does, sometimes not. I set multiple alarms now and I can't rely on my phone anymore to wake me for work. This was a great app for years, now my wife and I both have nearly been late for work on several occasions because of the issues with the alarm. Waking up in time is too critical to leave to chance. Please fix this so I can sleep without worry!
I have loved the app for 4-5 years but this most recent update has me down a star. I cannot edit the time directly unless I scroll with the number wheel. If I type an alarm and save it-nothing changes and I usually don't notice til I am late. Now I have to check my alarms over and over to be certain they actually saved correctly. Please fix this so I can be confident I am making my deadlines. HTC 6.16 android
I loved this alarm clock. It used to be very reliable. I had a few instances where I wasn't sure if I maybe slept through my alarm or if I somehow turned it off without knowing. I'm a very light sleeper so I really didn't think this was the case. It seemed to happen very sporadically untill lately. The last 4 nights in a row my alarms (I started setting multiple alarms to be safe) did not go off. If this gets fixed i will give more starts
One word of caution though. If you start an app like Pandora is best that you NOT use WIFI but rather use your phones data stream. Never can predict when that router may fail. It's been a while since I experienced that lesson. The makers may have corrected the issue by using a fall back option.
Perfect for my needs. Best part is the nap feature ! ***Update*** like others have said with the last update the alarm no longer is dependable to go off at the accurate times. Often it DC 5 to 15 minutes late. I've had to set multiple back up alarms to ensure I'm not late to work. I had to remove some stars in my review as a result. Please fix bugs!

My regular Monday through Friday alarm has simply not gone off a handful of times. Even the backup one with a different song was a no-show this morning. Installed a different one till this is fixed. I also wish there would be a symbol in the notification bar that tells you the alarm is set and a little pull down message. I keep having to open and check that it's even on.
Love this!! I use it all the time to wake me up every morning. The nap feature is great as well. Couldn't live without it. **EDIT** I have been using the app for years with no issues but then after the last few updates I have been noticing that my alarms don't always go off when they are supposed to, they go off sometimes 20 minutes later than they should be. This is causing issues as I use it to wake me up for work and for school and it's caused me to be late a few times. Once this is fixed then 5 stars.
Was one of my favorite apps until I went from a Galaxy S4 to a Note 4. Now it's not working properly! Changed from 5 stars to 3. First review: This alarm has never let me down! I love all of the options to customize it. The best feature: if I forget to turn my volume back on, the alarm(s) overrides it & goes off anyway!
I've used this app for over a year and it was great, but over time the alarms started going off early or late, and recently as much as a half hour off, and a few weeks ago started occasionally not going off at all. I downloaded a different app (Alarmy) last week that's been working fine. Looks like this app just isn't being maintained or updated anymore.
I have used this app for years and years since my first smartphone. It is been wonderful and reliable up until just recently including this morning. My alarm didn't go off until 23 minutes after it was set. And this is the same saved alarm I use every morning not a new one. Other times it's just not gone off at all. I'm so disappointed I feel like I'm going to have to find a new alarm clock now.
I gave this a 5 star a year ago. But a few months ago, the alarm stopped working periodically. I would wake up a few minutes before the alarm, the time would pass the alarm time and yet no alarm. Not sure if this is related to Marshmallow update or not. Now I have to give it a 2 star. Precious review (2015.07.15): I use it not only when I travel, but at home as well. Great number of options.
What I like about this app are all the features that it has. The best part for me is that you can set the alarm volume to be separate from the system volume, which also prevents you from turning down the volume as it is going off. Other alarms I've used don't have this feature so a lot of the time I would end up sleeping through my alarm since I would somehow turn the volume down in my sleep. I also really like the "nap alarm" feature that allows you to nap without needing to set up a new alarm.
This app is awesome! I travel a lot and this app helps me stay on time. The nap function is great. If I'm on the road and can't drive any further, I just find a safe place to park and set the nap timer. I'm back on the road in 60 or 90 minutes and have avoided putting myself or others in danger.
Was a great app. Till I got a new update 2 weeks after a new Android, and it's almost cost me my job. The alarm simply does not sound, no bar notifications, yet everything is set just like I have been for quite a few years now. Hope you fix. Have to find another alarm app that will wake me up at 5am in the meantime. :/

This is by far my favorite alarm clock application. The only issue is the weather option stopped working with the latest update of Google's weather and news application. I had to restore the previous 1.X version of the application to restore the weather function. I would have given five stars if the weather function did not stop working with the latest update to news and weather. I have lowered my rating to 3 stars because the weather no longer works. Please update the app to fix the weather.
One MAJOR flaw. It appears to only allow you to set alarm for next 24 hrs. (There is only an hour option not a day option in the alarm settings.) How could such an otherwise great alarm app miss this??? How can I set an alarm for an appt reminder for next week etc? It it is possible, it is not obvious in a user friendly way.
I love this product. It's easy to use and has a marvelous, gentle tone option. My original ratting was a 5 out of 5. I'm dropping it to a 3 because lately I can't trust it 100% to work. I think this is due to updates by the Android operating system or by Samsung. Nevertheless, it creates some anxiety when I can't count on it to always notify me when time is up.
Best alarm clock! Now I don't have to use my annoying cell phone clock! I love that I can use my personal music to set as my wake up alarm! You get an option when you hit the snooze to let you pick how long you want to snooze, if you want more than the automatic ten minutes... freakin' sweeeeet! I LOVE THIS APP!!!!!! (Note: the ads don't bother me, because they don't show up if you shut off your wifi!)
I used to love this alarm. I've had it since my first android. Big snooze button and all. In fact I had given it 5 stars. However after my recent update, this alarm just kept going off past the time I set it for. If I set it at 645, it goes off at 703 etc. I have several alarms already from before. And they all used to work fine. I'm giving it a few more days then I will uninstall if I can't find the reason why. BTW, I have updated my note 5 OS. Please find out why.

Been using this reliable old buddy from 2011 on Android 2.3 to now on 5.1. The only thing that keeps it from a 5 rating is due to age: I'd like to see the newer clock-style time picker instead of the spinner. It's also been more than a year and a half since an update. Add that new time picker and I'll stop looking for replacements. :)
