Puzzle Alarm Clock ⏰ for Android
I have reliably used this app for about 2 years but in the past week it has just stopped working and I've overslept every day. The alarms just don't go off anymore, no idea what's going on, need to find a good replacement app...
When it work it's works brilliantly, however it seems to crash frequently on the Samsung galaxy 8, however from my experience, so does every other popular puzzle/quiz/game alarm app. The alarm will go off yet there will be no way on which I can turn it off, I have to go into settings and force quit the app
I have used this app for over a year, on my old phone (galaxy s5),and I've loved it. But on my new phone (galaxy s8) it crashes after the alarm goes off.
This app worked perfectly on my old phone. Now I can press the dismiss button and it goes off right away without doing any of puzzles
This is the perfect alarm for school. Short of turning off my phone or waiting an hour, there is no way to disable the alarm without solving the puzzles first. Pro version is definitely worth getting, can add tons of puzzles and get some cool add-ons too.
No more missed work and no more parking tickets in the morning! I HAVE to get up because I can never solve the damn equation so early in the morning. I love it.
Crashes constantly. Sometimes alarms just don't go off. Very unreliable.
The alarm app I've been looking for! It wakes you up with a tune of your choice, and than pauses it when you are completing puzzles to wake you up.
Best alarm I've ever had. Ads can be a bit invasive, but they have to make money somehow.
I went to use a premium feature only to discover I don't have access to it. I purchased this before the in app purchase happened. Otherwise it's been a great alarm.
I hate this alarm so much. It's perfect.
Best alarm app I've used. The puzzles are challenging, not impossible and demand attention. Just what I need before coffee to get me out of bed.
If I wake up in the middle of night,i will switch it off and sleep,due to tiredness
Its a great app. It wakes you up if you fall back asleep. after awhile you'll never fall asleep after waking up
I actually really like this, but it stopped working. Alarm clocks should NEVER stop working.
I can get up now! It makes me think.
I added two NFC tags to an Alarm. Its recognising only one NFC Tag. Its not recognising the second NFC Tag. Very upset with this.
I can't wake up with the help of this alarm clock
Love this. Best alarm for getting me up. Love the puzzles, it makes sure I am awake. Thank you
Super solid app. Highly recommend this
The 5-minute check feature saved me this morning, 5/5.
Doesn't work in iran
First alarm that has ever worked for me!
So far great! Will need to make a long term test now :)
Most annoying thing in the best kinda way
I used to always miss my bus to school but after this I have never missed my bus!
I LOVE YOU ❤❤❤❤
It is by far the most amazing app I have ever used
Amazing alarm
Awesome and flawless
Excellent App
Well developed
Good
Amazing
Love it
Cool alarm with a lot of tools to help keep you from over sleeping and sleeping through the alarm. One annoying thing is that for some reason sometimes after you turn off the alarm it keep going for like 5 to 10 seconds, which can be loud and obnoxious at times. Other then that it is a great app and I would suggest it to anyone who sometimes sleeps through their alarms!
EDIT: It claims now to have custom NFC tag locking. Unfortunately, this does not work for me at the moment. The UI is there for it, but it does not do anything. I downloaded the app and bought the NFC tag pro feature, thinking it would be perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, there is no way to specify a specific NFC tag to be used to unlock it. Instead, simply placing **any** NFC tag on the phone will wake the phone. This completely defeats the purpose of such a feature, as it negates the need to get up and walk to the bathroom where I have placed a tag for waking up, as I could easily just tap it against my wallet instead, which itself contains many NFC cards. I'm giving this two stars because the app *does* feel extremely polished, and having features like a poke to check you're still up is really useful. But unfortunately, unless the above problem is fixed, I won't be using this app. I've already issued a refund for my purchase.
Review 2.0: saved a barcode to use for turning off my alarm and then tested it; it failed to recognize the barcode. This app has lots of great ideas and hit or miss implementation. It's just not reliable 100%. Don't rely solely on this app for important alarms. Review 1.0: Another victim of the "alarm error" deleting the changes I made to my alarm (time, alarm sound, and "power up") and therefore not waking me up. Luckily the thing I needed to wake up for was not super important, though it did ruin my morning.
I didn't need a super noisy alarm clock ever again because of this. Found a problem once where if I failed a puzzle and try to stop the alarm and start a new puzzle quickly, the alarm will keep playing until I finish the puzzle instead of being silent while I solve puzzle.

Its a great idea for an app with all the features you would think you'd need. The only problem is you can fiddle with the tablet buttons and get past the alarm. Then all you have to do is turn the volume down and go back to sleep. When I'm tired and I wake up I will do just about anything to get more rest and more than once now I just bypassed the app and turned the alarm volume down.
