Awaken

I have to say that until OS 5 this was the best and most reliable alarm app I had tried (and I tried a lot).<br/><br/>Regardless of Notification settings, the app can no longer be relied on to trigger when it should. Last update was in December of 2010, and I believe the current focus of the developer is on other projects.<br/><br/>Sorry to have to look for a replacement now.

When I test it by setting it for 2 minutes ahead it typically works, but when I set it to wake me up over-night it either doesn't come on at all, or plays some funky chimes instead of my pre-selected music. I've never written a review on an app, but I'm thoroughly dissatisfied!!!!

The only limitations this app has is caused by iOS. I don't understand why people don't consider this in their reviews.

… until it just stopped to play wake up tunes. Now, sadly, I have to look elsewhere.

When I first downloaded this app back in 2012 it worked great. I really liked being able to wake up to my own music and to have the music fade in over time. At that time, the app was very reliable. As time progressed and new updates were released, the app has become unreliable. I have arrived late to work and missed several other events because of this app. I would change the alarm time and save it. I would check the alarm several times to make sure the change was saved, which appeared to be. I would then fall asleep thinking the app would wake me up at the new time. Much to my dismay, I would wake up late. After checking the alarm, I would see that the change to the alarm wasn't saved. I have been unable to find any rhyme or reason as to why changes are saved sometimes and not others. At this point, I have reached my limit on frustration and will be looking for a new app.

I've stopped using this completely since it doesn't work half the time. It seems that the alarm will open and run but produces no sound. An alarm program that is not reliable is useless. There are alarm programs that are 100% reliable so it is possible. PLEASE FIX IT!

This app don't deserve a dime!! Use other

It's a sad day. I have to delete this now. <br/><br/>I've been using it for years; I sleep so soundly I need additional alarms to wake up. Awaken was my go-to for several years, but now, on iOS 10, it doesn't even function anymore. You can't enable alarms, and half the UI is broken. It used to be great, but it's time to move on. No updates in almost 4 years.
