FreakyAlarm — Games & Barcodes App Reviews

I have been using this app daily for over 5 years. It has been the best alarm I have ever used as you can do so much with it, and it really gets you up in the mornings. However, iOS 10 seems to have broken the current version of the app to where your alarm will play even after you have turned it off, making you continuously do the problems to turn it off. For me, it also continuously shows that you missed an alarm on startup. I had to delete the app just to keep it from going off all the time. I really hope you fix it soon and make it iOS 10 compatible so I can re-install it, because no other alarm app comes close to competing with yours.

(iOS10.0.2 still didnt fix the bug for me...) This app is impossible with iOS10... please please PLEASE fix the bug!!!! Essential for all fellow snoozers. Just remember to bring the barcode along or disable that feature if youre sleeping away from home... Learned that one the hard way

This is the ONLY alarm I have been able to consistently and successfully use. It is the only alarm that not only allows you to set the "turn the alarm off" settings so difficult that by the time you finish all the tasks, youve essentially already had your morning coffee -- but it also allows you to change intensity, so you can wake up from a nap without having to spend 5 minutes forcing yourself out of bed. As a person who has struggled to get up before 5am his whole life, and is now enjoying the sunrise regularly, I highly recommend using this alarm. (Only problem is my half asleep self has taken to actually DELETING the app if hes tired enough upon waking.... I need to find myself a way to keep that from happening)

Very effective alarm, but with the latest iOS update, it has become unusable. I would normally give this five stars because I do love this alarm, but I dont think the developers will see or notice how big of a problem if they continuously get five star reviews. The issue is that the alarms will NOT shut off. I can answer all the questions and have the alarm go off but a few minutes later, it will go off again out of nowhere- even if the app says the alarm is shut off. The only way I was able to stop it was to force close the app and then quickly delete it. I will be sure to download it again and adjust my rating once the issue is addressed.

This is the only alarm clock that has ever worked for me. Sadly, the iOS 10 update has killed it. Please fix as soon as you can. I really have come to rely on this app!

Alarm wont stop going off even after I complete the puzzles!! Please fix on 10.0.2, still doesnt work.

If you hit power button when your alarm goes off, it goes off forever until you unlock your phone (aka hours after it was supposed to wake you up). Fix this issue, and dont blame it on iOS because barcode alarm sends multiple notifications every few seconds if you hit the power button

Alarm is great at being annoying and getting you out of bed. Only one problem, I can just turn the volume down on my iPhone. Not sure if thats on Apple or the app but if this app had system override for volume control (i.e. turning down phone volume doesnt affect app volume) that would make this a game changer.

A great alarm with a couple kinks here and there that could be smoothed out with an update or two. PLEASE FIX WIDGET. Thanks!

Very unhappy since iOS 7. Its finals week for my daughter & shes been late 2 days now. When I first bought this app it was the best alarm ever because it actually woke her up. FIX IT & my rating will go back to 5 stars

This app is a piece of crap- do not buy it. All I wanted was for it to be able to allow me to take a picture or scan a QR code. Instead, you must solve 5 problems that if you get a single one wrong, you must start all over. Then it promises you can play your own music, but it still plays the obnoxiously loud sounds. Practically gives you a heart attack. AND all you have to do to shut it up is put your phone on vibrate! Do. Not. Buy.

I used to love this alarm. But after updating to iOS 7, it simply stopped working. The app doesnt even show up in the iOS Notification Settings. Please get this fixed so I can go back to loving this app.

I didnt hear it and it doesnt work when your device is locked. It only gives a notification! DO NOT BUY!!! Its a waste of money!!!

But it no longer goes off in the morning! If I solely relied on it to wake me up I would be late to work every day. I have to set the built in iPhone alarm to actually count on something going off in the morning. I havent changed any settings to make it change from going off to not going off. I open the app and sleep with it running in the background. In the morning after my iPhone alarm goes off, if I open freaky alarm it then does go off but by then Im already awake and its annoying to have to do the 3 math tasks to shut it off. Please fix this issue and Ill change my review to a higher rating.

Deleted the app after one use.

First alarm that works perfectly for me. The puzzles are annoying as hell. Works like a charm because Ill do anything to get it to shut up. I know a lot of people gave it poor ratings because the app is crashing and whatnot, but I havent had any problems with it. I also dont update things though... so... yeah.

Volume all the way up. And ringer on. Nothing. A little moo is all that trys to wake me up. Dont buy

I missed work because the alarm didnt make a sound. For whatever reason, this alarm app doesnt always go off; sometimes it goes to notifications instead. Useless junk software. Good idea, crap for execution.

This is a fantastic app! It actually succeeds in waking me up in the morning, which is no easy feat. The only thing holding me back from giving this 5 stars is the fact that in the part where you have to copy down a code, the number 0 looks too much like the letter O. I have often made the mistake of thinking an O was a 0, and visa versa, then having to start over because I got it wrong. I suggest the developer remove those characters from the app entirely. Otherwise, this app is awesome. You should get it.

This is a great alarm app. It is extremely difficult to shut off, and it disregards the silent mode which is perfect for heavy sleepers. My only issue is that the alarm does not play music. You have the option of adding music; however there is a bit of a glitch so the alarm only plays blaring car alarm sounds
