Progressive Alarm Clock App Reviews

I’ve had this alarm for years and love it! Recently, there have been days when it doesn’t go off and will turn off the alarm or sometimes reset itself for the next day without alarming for the day it was originally set for.

Very plain. Expensive for the features.

Please add dimmer for display

I’m a picky software tester. This app is great.

I generally use my golden retriever as my alarm clock, but for winter mornings this alarm is so gentle. I wish it had an all weekday setting, but overall it’s delightful.

This app is so much nicer than regular jarring alarms!! Makes waking up so much nicer. I set it five minutes earlier since it starts out so quiet and gentle, but it has never failed to wake me. So amazing to wake up in serenity instead of fight/flight. Try this App - you’ll be so glad you did❣️❣️

Been using this app for years and love it! However, over the last several months, every several weeks it stops with. It won’t open when I click the icon. I have had to delete and reinstall it.

I love this app. So much nice waking to meditative brass bowls than harsh alarms. Starts my day out right

Works flawlessly for 5 months now

My old alarm app was no longer supported, so I needed something new. My top criteria was a fade in alarm with a pleasant sound. What I found were apps with so many bells and whistles that I couldn’t imagine peacefully using every day. This app is perfect. It met my criteria and works every day.

I have been using the Apple phone alarms for years and finally said I needed to stop doing that because they were so jarring for my nervous system. I love the gentleness of the different progressions that this alarm app offers its users. It’s so soft and gentle and subtle. Progressive 4 is my favorite setting because I literally uses 1% sound increase increments.

Love this app but it is frustrating that it often cancels out/goes black and then has to be deleted and reinstalled

Good alarm, does the job and wakes me up much smoother than your typical blaring alarm. Happy with it so far.

I enjoy the modifications that can be done with the app & It works well for me because I don’t need jarring alarms to wake up. Once you understand that the app can’t be closed like other apps in order to still work. e.g.: any stock alarm will go off REGARDLESS whether the app is open and active; whereas this app MUST be left open or it will fail to go off. That’s the main and only issue I have, although it’s kind of a big deal. Alot of ppl close out their apps to keep everything “clean”, but if

Love the app, the only thing I would change is that it should be able to independently from other phone functions regulate the volume. Currently the high volume for waking up applies to all functions. So e.g. falling asleep to music at a low volume will translate into a low alarm volume for waking up.

Like the tone and ease of setting the alarm. Just a wee bit frustrating to have to log into the phone first to shut it off. I’d really love an interface that could easily shut off the alarm without having to enter my 6-digit passcode into the phone.

Can you please confirm that the $.99 is the only charge for this app. When I first opened the app it was offering a 3 day free and $9.99 per week. Please advice the price on this app. Thank you, Rozzielub

one of the best investments i've made ever. so much gentler on the nervous system, offering such a kinder and more joyous beginning to the day. the bell progressions offer the option to softly prepare your body and mind for waking before reaching the higher volumes to ensure you wake up. the journal function (and morning reminder option) are so well thought out and helpful. thanks for everything friends!

Overall this is a great app. Very nice to wake up gently instead of the typical jarring alarm sounds. BUT it is missing a critical function - the ability / setting to have the alarm to shut off after a limited amount of time - say 30 minutes. If you get up before the alarm time or go away for the weekend it will run / ring the alarm the entire time you are gone. Seems ridiculous not to have the alarm auto shut off after a reasonable amount of time . Please fix this glitch ASAP.

I hold weekly, virtual counseling sessions and this is THE BEST mechanism I have found to help keep me on time. Yeah, I still “turn it off” sometimes and end up going over, but that is a function of MINE and certainly no fault of this GREAT timer application! THANKS SO MUCH for a SUPER alarm!! I have no need to look any further.

What a nice, calming way to awaken. Has worked perfectly for me!

As a light sleeper, I live that it doesn’t jar me awake with a sudden loud noise, because I don’t need that and my partner certainly doesn’t.

What could be better than waking to the gentle sound of a Tibetan bowl? I really appreciate the gradual reentry to my Earthly life. I feel like I am able to remember my early morning dreams easily and clearly since the bowl creates such a gentle transition.

This alarm has the most wonderful resonance the bells softly ring and continue to vibrate afterwards. It is a beneficial way to slowly wake and be present. There is a calmness and mindful state you start your day. Thank you. So many can benefit from this app.

Some apps just work. This is one. It’s a classic. This app just straight up works. I’ve kept using it through multiple iOS versions at this point. I noticed the last app version update was five years ago. I only hope that the app continues to run forever on future updates.

I used to have a manual clock like this. I’ve had the app for years and it’s a very gentle way to wake up.

No problems, nice gentle tone to wake up to. I always set a back up alarm with my phone’s standard clock app, but Progressive Alarm hasn’t failed me. Would recommend.

I wake up to this alarm app each morning. I wrap myself in a saffron robe and walk to the ashram of my guru Yogananda Nathan Josephson. I have given over all of my possessions to Baba Nathan, but I need little besides my tracfone and His Blessings.

Snooze “Button” should be larger, otherwise an excellent app.

Very gentle but not as flexible as it might be

Best alarm I’ve ever found. Wakes me up gently and I’be used it for years with no problems!

I have used this app for years, and love it, but just discovered that it doesn’t adapt to daylight savings time changes. It went off an hour late this spring when the clocks changed

I like the app, it has a lot of good features and functions, but I am blind and use apples voiceover for accessibility, and the app does not totally work with this accessibility technology.

I wanted a gentle, ascending chime to peacefully wake me, as well as a white noise generator. This one awesome app does both, with no freaky “sleep schedule manager” mumbo jumbo or annoying ads! Yay!

This is the perfect app for waking up gently. Devs, please never stop supporting it!

Always dependable and easy to use.

My iPhone only has so many alarm tones. All of them are jangle-y or flat out annoying. Waking to the prayer bowls is so peaceful and gentle. Best alarm I’ve ever tried!

One of the best wake up alarms I’ve ever used . Just wish some lower sounding bells were available, the high pitch ones are too much. Great app though! Well worth getting

Needed to allow it permission explicitly to work in do not disturb mode after the upgrade. LOVE this app. Saved my marriage after being yelled at for my prior jolting alarm clock.

I think this alarm is fantastic, when it works. Today was the third time in less than a month that it failed to ring. Fortunately, I’m retired, so I wasn’t late for work.

I tried a few free ones, but I like this one because it starts soft

I’ve been using this app for years. I love having progressive chimes that wake me rather than jarring alarm sounds. And the variety of chime tones, available. I also like it for my meditation sessions.

Best alarm app I’ve used. Top shelf. Been with them for a super long time, won’t use any other. I love all the customisations, the interface and, of course, the progressive alarms.

... could you please implement or add a timer. If I want to take a quick nap for 20 minutes, I don’t have to spend time figuring out... Thank you!

Unless I plug in my phone overnight, this app usually drains the battery. I like the progressive feature, but it needs something very simple like one chime every minute, getting progressively louder. The patterns are so convoluted that it doesn’t make any sense. I don’t understand why Apple can’t create a free morning alarm clock that has something very gentle like birds singing or ocean noises. When I had my Samsung, I had dozens of choices. With Apple, it’s essentially this one or noth
