User Reviews for Smart Alarm Clock for Watch

No longer working + developer no longer updating

The app doesn't not learn your sleeping patterns, which is annoying. Even after altering the sensitivity settings, it still just wakes you up at the beginning of the alarm window. So the dynamic wake time does not actually work for this app. Moreover the alarm can be turned off by a very very light touch, such as your wrist grazing the sheets. As a result many mornings the alarm isn't even effective because it's turned off in 1 second.The developer had said he'd make improvements a while ago, but has not actually done so.

Just doesn’t work

I wanted this to work so bad. It sounded perfect. I don’t need fancy sleep analysis, just a smart alarm that uses data from my watch on movements and heart rate to wake me in the best sleep stage. Sadly just does not work. The app on the watch allows one to set a time, but the button says “wait” and nothing happens when you tap the button. Setting a time there and hoping for the best does result in a haptic alarm in the morning but not in the as advertised up to 30 mins before the set time. Seemed to occur at random times often long before the set time. No data showed on the data screen in the app on the phone in spite of me allowing it full access to everything. No way to trouble shoot. No way to see or set the alarm on the phone. Sent an email to developers and no response. So I have deleted the app. How do I get my $3 back for this failure? Sigh. I hope they improve this app and make it actually work because it seems to be the only one that claimed to do what I want. Wish it did.

Alarm clock for my watch

So happy I found a smart alarm for my watch, I have searched a long time ever since I got my Apple Watch, this seems to be the only one that works. I do not understand why Apple does not have this built in, the watch is on your wrist, so it is perfectly suited to track your sleep stages, and wake you up when it needs to. Other wearable devices seem all have this capability, but not Apple Watch. Enough complaints about Apple Watch, let me tell you about this app. It has a super simple design: it only does two thing, bedtime alert and natural sleep cycle alarm. I like the bedtime alert, it keeps you in a regular schedule, but there is nothing earth shattering about it, except it makes it really easy to set up the alarm. If you answer the bedtime alert from watch, you can one tap set the alarm. Regarding the alarm, you specify a 30 minutes window, and the watch picks a good time to wake up when you are sort of awake. This works great, I especially like the gentle vibration instead of a loud sound, it makes waking up so much more pleasant. It seems the phone has to be nearby for this to work, so that is a caveat, but other than that, no complaints from me. Glad I got the app.

not writing anything to the Health app

It looks like Smart Alarm Clock for Watch is not writing anything to the Health app. I’ve used it for 2 nights now, and it’s waking me up as expected, but shouldn’t it be submitting data to the Health app? All permissions appear to be on as well as “background app refresh”. I do use “do not disturb” and “theater” modes on my Watch when sleeping, but that seems to be almost standard. Is it not supposed to write any data?

I’ve used it two days, won’t use it a third.

I’ve used this app for the last two days. I will NOT be using it a third day. It’s supposed to wake you in your lightest sleep cycle. Both days it has woken me in the middle of a dream (the hardest time to wake). I had no idea it was going to talk when I set and turned off the alarm, disturbing others around me. This morning I was awoken not by the alarm, but by someone telling me to answer my phone. The alarm went off on my phone, even thought it was less than three feet from my watch. Once I turned it off, my watch started going off every five minutes continuing to disturb a dream, causing the app that tracks my sleep to say I was awake when I was actually asleep. I’m not sure what this app is supposed to do, but it’s not doing it for me. It’s not silent. It doesn’t wake me in the lightest sleep, but the deepest. There is no reason for me to keep using this app. The last two days have been the worst mornings I’ve had since I was an over trained teenager. I’m done. I’m just sorry I spent money on this madness. There are so many other places that money could have gone where it actually would have been useful.

Doesn’t work, no ability to contact developer...

This app simply doesn’t work. Stopped working in November. When you go to app support it takes you to the developers support page which makes you enter the app/product, of which this app is not listed. I submitted for another app in the hopes they would monitor and see the issue. Nope. Months later and no response and no updates in the App Store. Just more folks without even developer acknowledgment or attempts to resolve. Also surprised Apple isn’t using some pattern analysis to see the recent comments that they have an app in the App Store likely violating there terms...

Apple Watch Series 3

This app used to wake me up before the WatchOS 5. Now that I’ve upgraded the software, I set the alarm before I sleep and the very next day, it doesn’t give me a haptic anymore, so it doesn’t wake me up, plus the back-up alarm on the iPhone isn’t working either and it is very frustrating. I check the settings and it says sensors are successful. It’s been 3 months since the last update of this application, which is very outdated. If you want to use this app as your main alarm and keep it reliable, I suggest you don’t update your software, because the more you update, the fact that it’s not going to work it’s charm anymore. Or just use the built-in IOS alarm, which is much more optimized and reliable. Make your smart move by not purchasing these smart alarms as they tend to be unreliable.

Please Update!!

Was a great app getting me up in my lightest sleep when I was using my Apple Watch S2, but now does not even work on my Apple Watch S4. Please update this app to work again!Update: I was able to talk with the developer on this app and they are very responsive and helpful! They allowed the app to now work on my new watch with WatchOS6. They have been able to work and fix out things on this app that allowed me to continue using this alarm as my number one go to for getting me up.

Not happy

I finally got an iWatch and was looking forward to having a haptic alarm on my wrist to wake me up, without waking my wife up as an audible alarm always does. I’ve followed all the instructions in detail and never once have I been awakened by this app. Maybe there is some troubleshooting to be done with the developer, but the only means of contacting is via a log that originates from the iWatch, and is said to reside on the iPhone, where it can then be emailed. When I hard press the iWatch to generate the log, nothing happens on either my iWatch or iPhone. So I am complaining here in hopes that there is a solution. The only thing I have considered is that instead of a repeated haptic vibration, the app produces only one single pulse within the half hour alarm window. I can’t imagine waking up from one single iWatch pulse. Wouldn’t it make sense for it to vibrate until the wearer truly woke up, as indicated from the wearer getting out of bed and moving around, which the iWatch is clearly capable of detecting?

Not as promised.

The alarm works, but not as promised. It sets up a 30 minute time window, but it either goes off at the beginning or at the end of the window — never in the middle. You wake up no better than if you had used a regular, set alarm. This sounds like a bug, and I reached out to the developer, but they have been unresponsive. Unless this is fixed, I don’t think you should have to pay for it.The best alternative to this is AutoWake. It does a much better job of intelligently waking you up.
