Progressive Alarm Clock App Reviews

I feel like most alarms stress me out because they scare me awake and I feel like I have to turn them off quickly, but this one just wakes you up and leaves you in peace.

Considering it's low priced it does what it is supposed to do

I have been using this alarm for what feels like over a decade but I don’t know if it really has been that long! It’s a freaking alarm clock so I inherently hate it but it’s by far the most gentle way to wake up in the morning. Starts so quietly, so many options for how to progress it… gets loud and annoying enough to not be able to fully ignore it. Thanks!

I’ve used this app for years and found it to be very dependable. Progressive alarm makes waking up each morning a much more pleasant experience than most alarms. An excellent product.

Works perfect when you’re in a silent hotel, and you need white noise.

I hate having to wake up with an alarm clock in the morning. One of the worst feelings of my day is hearing that alarm to wake me up. BUT… I love this alarm clock, and I don’t mind the lovely chimes gently rocking me awake in the morning. For me, this is a must have app.

This is the only alarm clock I use. I hate the sound of baring alarms and this slows me to pick a soothing sound that starts low and progresses louder. I would give 5 stars if a sunrise function was available.

Apple doesn't provide a suitable alarm for my iPhone. But these folks do. I am not a heavy sleeper and this gentle wake up call is perfect. Thank you!

I’ve been seeking out purchasing a clock like this. Instead, I found the app at a very reasonable price. It gently wakes me up without any harsh sounds and I know I can rely on it.

The gentle wake up is a life changer. My partner likes to wake naturally, and this lets me wake up early and he keeps sleeping. I would love to see one Change on the app: I would like to be able to set the alarm clock volume separately from the phone volume. Sometimes I want to listen to something quietly when I'm going to sleep, but that turns the alarm clock volume down too low. PS it's not appropriate to call it an alarm clock anymore- we have to call it a wake up clock or a calm clock. ;)

Such a beautiful way to wake up in the morning.

Each night, one has to remember to start the alarm. There is no way to set repeat or to set a different time for, say weekends. Meditation chimes and progressive/fade-in are its primary value-add.

I’ve used this app for years now. I always hated being violently woken up. Now a gentle bell draws me out of the dream world and makes for a better day!

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

It has some nice features, but you can only set one alarm. It doesn’t matters if it is a week day or weekend.

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
