calm mornings. I have been using this app for years and it is fabulous. It wakes me up in a calm way. I also have set up one sequence that just rings every three minutes and I use it for yoga poses. It is the best!

Best way to wake up. Why wake up to harsh alarm clock when you can be gently woken up with Tibetan bells. I love this app and wake up so nicely everyday. Will never use a regular alarm clock again.

Great alarm clock that has been in use for two years now.. I love this alarm clock ....such a soothing way to wake up in the morning. I don't have the nerve to try the ultimately loud alarm though. My only beef is that somewhere along the upgrade line, the background on the stop alarm and snooze buttons disappeared. They use to be red, now there is no background. Does not impact functionality; however, it does make it harder to read.

Perfect!. I dislike waking to harsh sounds and music so I was looking for something more zen. I've been using the app exclusively for more than two years. For variety, I can choose a different sounding bowl. This app is perfect for me.

Excellent Alarm. I love to wake up to the gentle sound of the bells... Sometime the first, barely audible, chime will wake me.... Sometimes it takes a few more... But I love the fact that if I do not wake up then in 20 minutes it will ring full volume until I do wake up..... But I have never gotten to that point.

Beautiful alarm!. This is a terrific design for waking up gently, peacefully and effectively. It’s what I was looking for. Nothing else works as well IF you don’t like being jarred awake. Life’s tough enough. Even the cathedral bells I had used weren’t as calming. Thank you! Would be nice if the journal entries would date-stamp themselves.

Gradual and peaceful. I can't live without this alarm. There's nothing worse that being jarred awake by a screeching sound at your head. This app is gentle and soothing. Thank you.

Great alarm. I love this alarm app. It's easy to use, with many options to choose from. The progressive bells are a lovely way to wake up.

I LOVE this alarm, but.... It has become unreliable. On several occasions over the last few months it has failed to go off at the set time. A previous review mentioned a possible connection between the iPad announcing an incoming phone call on their iPhone and the alarm app switching from am to pm. I haven’t noticed this correlation, but there’s definitely something happening that causes the alarm to fail occasionally. I *REALLY* hope the developer addresses this issue. As much as I love this app, to the point I’d be willing to pay for an upgrade, I can’t afford to trust an unreliable alarm app. Spotlight Six...I hope you’re reading this!

Calm Tibetan Bowls. What a great alternative to loud buzzing and annoying alarms. Instead, wake up to a soothing Tibetan Buddhist bowl bell sound at a volume you select. Options in the timbre of the bell from low to high.

Almost there. So many things to like, but lacking three essential features: timer mode (to allow user to set a specific duration, say 30 minutes, rather than specific time of day); remember gong selection, rather than having to reselect each time; and show current time on main page. With these, five stars.

Great App. 1st app I bought waaaaaay back when I bought my first iPad. I use this as my daily alarm clock and I wake so calmly. Simple and elegant.

Soothing. This is a remarkably soothing way to start my day. Effective, and soothing. My hostility levels have dropped. It polite and persistent, and I feel better all day.

Best alarm ever!!!. I love how this gradually wakes me, and with gentle progression. It's a peaceful start to my morning. The only improvement I would make is the ability to dim the display more. I like my room really dark, and put my device face down on the carpet so there's no light 'leaks'. When I turn it face up in the middle of the night to check the time, it's just too bright for my taste. But I've never found an alarm I like better.

The best i have tried. I have tried many alarms and this alarm really does as it says. The slow progression of the bowls is great. Even alarms that allow for a slow increase of the volume it is still jarring to have that sound in your sleep. The bowls make a sound even at a higher volume that is not bothersome and really helps me to wake up even if i am in a deep sleep or having a good dream. It makes for a nicer morning using this alarm.

Alike able alarm. It sooth you to sleep or quick naps useful I use it often

A new way to wake up and come alive. Love this app! Is that was mentioned by a writer in the magazine poets and writers as helpful to slowly wake up and retain inspiration from the night before. I love the settings and features and it works just great. It's so nice to wake up to bells and chimes as opposed to a harsh buzzer or the news.

Love it!. I wrote the below review after I first got the alarm,,,BUT,,, recently the alarm has been “forgetting” to go off every once in a while. I love the gradual awakening, but I now set 2 alarms to be sure I get up. I set the second one ten minutes later as backup. Insight usually works. Today it woke me up an hour early, 4:30 instead of the 5:30 that was displayed! The trouble with most alarm clocks is that they won't give you a second to just wake up naturally without pushing a button. The ability to choose how long between gongs is a lifesaver for me. I set the gongs to be over a minute apart so I can slowly wake up and hit the "Stop" button at my own pace before a second gong strikes. I don't need an alarm clock to frustrate me awake! A gentle reminder is all I want. Progressive Alarm lets me choose how to wake up. Perfect!

Fantastic Alarm Clock. I wrote my original review after I first purchased the App. Everything in it still holds true for this latest version. This is the best Alarm Clock period. After the IOS update broke the volume control I was very happy to see an update come out to fix the issue. I still have the two items on my wish list and hope they are accommodated one day. I would even purchase a new version if it provided the extra functionality. **********below is my original review*********** This Alarm clock is great. The numbers are easy to see. The gradual increase in the loudness of the bells works perfectly and it's ease of use can't be beat. I use this app as my primary alarm clock even when I am on the road. Only two options I would like to see added. 1. I would like the ability to disable the alarm and simply use this app as a clock without having to worry about the alarm going off needlessly. 2. I would love to be able to occasionally select one of the songs on my iPad to use instead of the bells. The slow increase in volume would work perfectly for some "new age" soundtracks. Sound of rain forests, waterfalls, songbirds, etc. would be perfect to use in this app. Even without the two items on my wish list I still rate this app 5 stars.

My go to "Alarm". It's not alarming at all!!! It IS a great way to be gently woken up, especially on those days when you have to get out of bed a bit too early. I think the very quiet start allows the unconscious to get the body ready to wake up before I consciously hear it. On days when I really need a few extra minutes to get it, I just start to hear it 2-4 minutes later than normal. I mostly use pattern 4, and it takes about four minutes to wake me. When I do hear it, I generally think "Did I just hear something?" Then it rings once more and I realize I am awake. It has a snooze, I rarely use. It has features and functions I know little about. Check other reviews for the other uses. I am a happy waker.

Need to be able to set multiple alarms. I start work different times on different days. I need to be able to set a different alarms for each day of the week. This is useless to my otherwise.

Outstanding replacement for my broken zen clock. Over the years, I've purchased four progressive zen clocks. Beautiful sound but very pricy and they fall apart too fast. This app doesn't look as good as any of them, but it works well and sounds great, with way more tonal options and control of the patterns. And I saved over $200 by not replacing the zen&now option.

No support, doesn’t work. I would like to give this a 5 star rating but it doesn’t work unless the screen stays on. So, since it’s impossible to leave a device on all night, I can’t use it. I’ve downloaded this before, it had this problem and I deleted it. I thought it would be fixed by now, but it’s not. App support takes me to a website with summaries of the products offered only. I put this here hoping for a response. Really, it’s too bad. I do want this app.

Mindful Morning. The sounds in this app are beautiful! I was looking for an alarm that would ring once, like a monastery bell, and then stop. This does the trick! You can manipulate the settings until the ringing of the bells are spaced far apart. At the first gentle gong, I am awake. I have it set to ring at one-minute intervals, and it punctuates my morning routine as a reminder to be mindful. A lovely way to start the day!

The Alarm I Prefer to All the Others. I admit it. I'm not a morning person, and I'm a heavy sleeper. (Bad combo!) I quickly adapt to most alarm sounds and sleep right through. I've tried them all. I use this alarm when I absolutely have to get up on time. The progressive feature is nice, and the sound of the bowls is very helpful. They don't sound like all the other buzzing, beeping, chirping, and breaking glass alarms my asleep brain has learned to ignore. I can choose a pitch that will cut through the fog. I do wish it would still go off if I switch over to another app, though.

Great alarm but .... I've been using this alarm for years, and like most of the reviewers say, it is great and a subtle way to wake up. However on multiple occasions the alarm didn't go off and I just assumed I'd made an error because instead of saying 7am, it had been set to 7pm. What I eventually discovered is that if I set the alarm to 6am and get a phone call, when my iPad rings as a secondary notification that there is an incoming call, the alarm switches the time to PM! So this morning I needed to get up at 4:30am. Someone called around midnight. My alarm reset to 4:30pm and I didn't wake up until 7:20am! Other than turning off the feature where my iPad rings when I get a call on my iPhone, I don't know what to do. But this glitch is going to force me to use a different alarm app unfortunately! :(

Needs bigger buttons. Works as advertised but could use a bigger snooze button. I'd also like to see a mode that keeps the time display on at a configurable level of brightness.

Very Good. This is a good app if you're hard to wake. I use it with a soft, headband type of headphones and a volume amplifier. The alarm clock wakes me every time, no matter how hard I'm sleeping. It's good and reliable. I really like it.

Unreliable. Sounds pretty. But alarm didn't go off this morning as I set it to. I woke up and played around with it and got it to sound a couple times but now I don't trust it. Also, the feature where it's supposed to slowly light up doesn't work at all. Nice touch to be able to use your own photo, if it worked and if the photo stayed oriented properly. And you have to fumble around and find the app icon and open it to shut off the alarm.

Best alarm clock!. I've been using this for years, never bothered to get a new alarm clock app :)

So far, very good.... Only one wish: that other and louder alarm sounds were available. Perhaps I will have more to say later...

Not quite 'real,' but nice. The alarm sounds very nice, but lacks the fuller tone of my old Now and Zen clock. I enjoyed that sound for the four month period twenty years ago that that clock worked. That's my only negative comment. I like this app and its flexibility. And the sound's not *bad.*

Love it!. I've used this app for a couple of years now. It's one of my favorites. This is just how I need to be woken up.... gently.

Wonderful app. I've been using this app for well over 5 years and love it. It works well when I teach yoga as I can set the alarm using the singing bowl alarm combination I want, thus helping bring the class back from meditation or Savasana gently. I also use it as a morning alarm. Great app!

Best alarm ever. I wanted a zen alarm clock for years, but did not want to pay $80 for a good one. Well, now I will never need to buy one, because this app is just awesome, with great sounds.

Non-alarming, gentle alarm. I once paid a lot for a triangular shape Zen Clock that struck a progressive chime bell. It was nice and I used it for a lot of years. This was long before iPads, iPhones or apps. I much prefer the app with the soothing, gentle wake up alarms that you can choose from and adjust. It's my at home and travel alarm of preference.

Perfect!. I hate being frightened awake by traditional alarm clocks. This one does the trick. It slowly awakens me, making my morning experience vastly more pleasant. Easy to use.

Makes me wake up better. I am a horrible sleeper and mornings are the worst, but I really think this clock has helped train me how to wake up, which has led to me being able to fall asleep better, too. I use one of the longer ring patterns and I just wake up. When I first got the clock I did use the entire 20 min to wake, but now even when the tones are very quiet and have not built up to full volume I gently wake up. If you aren't used to this style of alarm clock, it may take a little getting used to, but completely worth it

A gentle wake up. Standard alarm clocks give my heart a big jolt. I hate them. This alarm gives a nice selection of beautiful bowls to choose from to start your day off right.

Linnylea. Absolutely love this app. It is so user friendly. I was actually online looking to buy a "zen like" alarm clock when this app popped up. I could beat the price and I am sure happy I gave it a try. I can't imagine how I managed to wake up happy with my old alarm. Give it a try!

Love it!. This is a great app! I have always wanted a progressive alarm and this is just perfect. Very adjustable in so many ways and I love the singing bells. I have been using it for a couple of years now and can't even imagine going back to a regular alarm.

Best alarm clock ever!. I used to use a battery powered zen alarm clock. I adored the gentle gradual wakeup it offered, but the ticking sound kept me awake at night. Then I discovered this app! It features a variety of bells to choose from, and a variety of settings, including one very similar to my zen alarm clock using the time ratio of the golden mean, along with a gradual crescendo of the Tibetan bell, gently drawing me out of my dreams & into my day. I love it.

Chimes alarm clock. I love this app. The chimes are the coolest thing to wake up to and they are a pleasant progressive chime...better than music or buzzing. Very easy to use. Instruction are right on the alarm clock. I really recommend!

Works great!. I wish I had this app about 40 years ago when I used to wake up for work every day with the typical loud, obnoxious buzzing alarm! To now wake up slowly and quietly with any number of singing bowls has been an absolute godsend. Bravo!

The best alarm ever!. We've been using this alarm for over two years and love it! It's so nice to wake up gradually and peacefully. Thank you for this wonderful app!

Wakeup. This is a great app waking up to Tibetan bells. The gentle rhythm is completely customizable and is a very healthful approach to begin the day. My only complaint is that the app sorely needs a facelift and made more contemporary. Hope the developers show some commitment to this great app

Love it. Use it daily, a great way to wake up, gradually louder bells are so much better than a sudden alarm. Sound quality is very good.

Use it daily. I used this app every single day. It's such a gentle way to wake up, but it still does the job.

Great app. This is a great app. It has helped in changing the way I wake up in the morning. Mileage will vary, but for me, the first bell generally wakes me up. No jarring, annoying Radar/Waterfall/Inane BS. A very quiet reminder it is time to get up.

Love it. This is a great alarm clock! Wonderful to wake up more gently with the progressive increase in loudness. I've never not wakened with it so despite the fact that the bowl sounds are pleasant the still wake me up.

Lovely!. Have been using this app for over a year. Has been so nice to wake up gently instead of being jarred out of a deep sleep. Better for nerves and the other people in the house ;-). Am thoroughly recommending it. It does what it is supposed to do, without problem. Thanks.

You've found it.. Not the best designed wake up clock in the App Store... but definitely one of the best wake up experiences. I have bought several alarm clock apps, but this is the one I have settled on.

Progressive Alarm. An excellent beastie: flexible, useful as a meditation timer, and the gentlest wake-up imaginable.

Almost fantastic.. I wish this app had two additional features; that I could see the current time when the app was open and that I could use it as a timer to set a specific amount of time like 20 minutes for a meditation or 5 minutes of silence.

What happened to the white noise feature?. I have this app on my phone and it has a white noise feature. Missing on iPad version. Very disappointing. 😐

Need to add a feature. Would love to be able to set different times for weekdays and weekends and just have them "on" so that I don't need to reset every day! Love the gentle wake up!

Overpriced and has limitations. I wish I had read Hawkfyre's review of this app before purchasing. You can't multitask with this app. If you do, it will not wake you.

Excellent product. The gradual increase of the bells wakes me up gently and completely every morning. The snooze is adjustable if you want to stay in bed. There are many more features on this alarm clock program that really do make it worth it's money. Its also gentle enough that it doesn't disturb my room mates.

Doesn't always work. I like waking up to the sound of Tibetan bells, but I always have to have another alarm because this one does not always work

Gentle Way to Ease into the Day. We just purchased this and, so far, are happy with it. It was easy to set up and there was a nice variety of options for the alarm clock.

Excellent. Fonctionne très bien et nous réveille tout doucement. Merci!

Very good. Use it everyday- nice easy wakeup.

Good. I would like to set multiple alarms.

Best alarm clock. This alarm clock wakens me slowly and gently. I love it, and while I've only used it on a couple of trips, I think I may use it at my bedside from now on. 5 stars so far!

Good Product. I like this alarm and I would love if an additional feature was added. I would like to be able to set the alarm to go off at the same time every weekday (similar to my blackberry). Thanks!

Easy reliable love the sound. Easy to adjust and customize....has never let me down I really like the progressive nature of the alarm ..the sound is different enough to be noticeable...yet not jarring i love it and recommend it absolutely!

Very lovely. This is a beautiful way to wake up. The only problem is that occasionally it doesn't go off but rather resets itself for the following day. I hope that can be fixed because when you're trying to get up for a meeting, and it doesn't go off, well this is a problem.

Un réveil doux et efficace. Je l'utilise chaque jour comme deuxième réveil.le son progressif permet un réveil assurée tout en douceur.

Nice Clock but the Journaling Feature is Useless. I like the gentle bell options and the progressive wake-up patterns. The 'Journal' feature is useless in that the text entry box has a bug (the info bar overlaps the first line of text so you can't read what you are writing and it is impossible to edit the text field). Also, it would be helpful if the journal auto-dated entries.

An easy way to wake up!. I've been using this application for a few months. It's reliable and has never malfunctioned or crashed. I wake very early in the morning and this alarm makes it easier because I'm eased out of sleep more gently. The application performs exactly as advertised: The alarm sounds a series of chimes, which become progressively louder and more frequent. I appreciate the many different options available, including different types of bells and presets. The journal function may be used as a 'dream journal' or to log notes about sleeping patterns.

Alarm. Use it every night

Works well. Workd

customer84. This is a really good app when you have to get up early and don't want to. I found it woke me without waking up everyone else in the house. Gradually lights up to reveal a picture that I selected, that always makes me smile. Haven't discovered any bugs. The alarm tone is awesome.

It hurts less to wake up.. So peaceful. The sounds are lovely. I also appreciate the design and functionality of this great app.

Great. Why wake up every day with a jarring alarm, this is a fabulous app and even works with my leather cover closed on the iPad. it has a backup alarm if you worry that on an urgent day it won't 'work'. I still put my iPhone alarm on as a backup for really early emergency meetings, but have NEVER had to hear it. This alarm is Fabulous and a great peaceful way to start the day. Imagine what goes on physiologically by a sleeping person being JARRED by a regular buzzer. You will love this app, feels good and restful to get up, feels right.

It's okay. To be honest I thought when purchasing the paid copy I would get more features for the price. You basically get 6 Tibetan bowl chime sounds and in order for the alarm to work, you must keep this program on top, so you can't do anything else. A major fault in my eyes. There are 6 pre programmed alarm escalation settings built in but if you want one of your own, one of these settings must be destroyed for you to make your own. It would have been nice to combine all the chimes into the sequence, but the program isn't that sophisticated. If you want an alarm program that runs while you're working, forget this. Otherwise it's ok, but a bit overpriced for the major limitations.

Progressive Alarm Clock and Dream Journal. I love this app. The sound is remarkably like real Tibetan singing bowls. I use it in the office to set the time for an appt to end. I haven't used the journal writing part, but what a nice option. Thank you for creating it. It would be nice if it had an option to ring every hour for several rings to end therapy sessions.

Best ever.. This is the best clock I've ever used. Well thought out.

Almost the best. I bought every alarm app possible for the iPad and this was my favorite because of the clear images and relaxing and peaceful method of waking me from my slumber. This would be amazing except I don't like that the alarm cancels if you close the app. If the next update could run the alarm even while the app isn't up would be MORE than amazing!!! Thanks a ton!!!

Great alarm clock. What a great way to wake up in the morning! The progressively louder gongs slowly wake you up. It's just a great way to start the day. My only caveat is that if you have a iPad 1 and keep your bedroom dark, you will probably want to cover the screen at night because it emits too much light. Even with a black background and grey numbers, it's like a bright night light. It's better with an iPad 2.

Excellent. I like three things about this alarm. The progressively louder tones make for a smooth wakeup instead of an abrupt one. The "touch to show time" option means the screen is dark and doesn't light up your room unless you touch it and it will then light up to show you the info for several seconds before going dark again. The last option I like is the "info box" (shown under the time) which tells me how much time is remaining before the alarm goes off. I travel all over the world and my sleep patterns get goofed up so this tells me how many hours or minutes I have left to sleep when I wake up at random hours because of the time zone.

Excellent. Works as well as the expensive clocks.

power consumption issues?. This is a great app, but it requires the iPad to be on throughout the night. Even when I tried with the visual cue disabled, there was still a warm glow keeping the room dimly lit all night. More importantly, my iPad battery went from 85% down to 37% by morning. For nightly usage, that's a lot of wear and tear. manually putting the device to sleep mode is required to avoid that, and it would be nice to have that done automatically. The alarm part is wonderful. When the bells got to about 50% I woke up. very effective and pleasant

Healing!. Woke this morning with screaming neck pain toxicity stress headache. Listened to the bell progression and got out of bed only to realize suddenly that the iron fist that had a grip on my neck and shoulders had simply left town. had a great day. Considering my susceptibility to working into migraines from almost any neck pain this seemed nothing short of miraculous. Hope others receive such sweet benefit.

awesome alarm. I love the feature where it awakes you slowly. I'm not a morning person hence this was bound to be my favorite functional nuance.

I can't say enough how much I love this app!. What a peaceful way to wake up! It never fails to wake me up and it does it gently. I love to lie in bed and listen to it as I make my plans for the day. The journal popup reminder is nice, however, it would be nice to have the option to have the popup reminder occur in the evening when I set the alarm. I like to make my journal entries in the evening. Just a thought.

Great. Wonderful way to wake up, or finish centering prayer.

Great. A most civilized way to awaken.

You will never use another alarm again. I purchased this app for travel, but the pleasant sound and gradual volume increase has made this our primary home alarm clock also. The ability to put the alarm in the background is a great addition. The only criticism I had prior to this release was it was too easy to switch to another app right before bed and then forget to start up the alarm app again. Now you do not have to worry about that making this app PERFECT.

WOW!!!. I work 16 hour days in Afghanistan 7 days a week. Needless to say, I hate waking up more than anything in the world. At almost 50 years of age, I can finally say "there's an alarm clock in this world that I don't want to Crush! the second I hear it!" This clock is awesome...period. I chose the softest, most pleasant bell (bowl) tone and built my own custom settings to awake slowly and pleasantly from my sleep. It's actually such a pleasant, warm tone that I found myself lying in bed listening to the soft, fading tones of each bowl strike...like some pleasant harbor sound way off in the distance. Very soothing! Kudos to the developer on this one guys! Great job. I have no complaints at all. In a future upgrade, I would love it if they added an option to "mix" the bowl tones...such as multiple separate bowls, and each timed the way I want them in the mix. But hey...you have my five stars!

Elegant and Practical. This is the first review I have written for any app. I am so impressed with this "clock" that I had to let others know they should get it too. I do not wake up easily. Before getting this app I used another app that "alarmed", a bedside travel alarm clock, a desk lamp on a timer and a clock radio in the bathroom. These four items were set to come on at different times and in a progressive sequence of increasing obnoxiousness. I have had this app for a week and now I am gently wakened by Tibetan bells. What a difference!!! My other alarm "system" is no longer necessary. I like pattern #2 the best so far. I feel welcomed into the day and wake up feeling ready to go but not rushed. Highly recommend this app. Thank you to the developers for a wonderful product - I enjoy supporting good ideas and gladly paid my $2.

Works well as advertised. The reviewer below who suggested this was a waste of money, is incorrect. His complaints have to do with a limitation of all apps until multitasking is enabled later those month with iOS4. This is a very good app as designed. Doesn't do 10 different things, it has focused on this task with it's bells and it does that very well.

Great app!. Love this app...been using it for years and has never failed me!!!!

LOVE. I love not having to be jolted awake. The chimes are very soothing and set you up for a great way to start your day!

The app is not universal!!!. It's a very nice alarm clock. It doesn't look fancy, I don't like the graphic of its clock face. Digits are too bright even in "Dark" mode and there's no way to dim them (and I already decreased system brightness all the way). The progressive wake up alarm is great, i use the slowest mode to bring me out of sleep slowly. One star rating is for not making this app universal, I had to buy it twice to have it on my iPhone as well. With a smaller iPhone screen I can tolerate the brightness of the screen. Otherwise this app is solid 4 stars, if I bought it for iPhone right away

Best Ever. Runs in the background, even with device sleeping, then wakes me up gently. I love this app.

Unreliable. Used to work great on my ipad2. Now just upgraded to iPad Pro & it only has worked 1 out of the 4 times I've used it. Can't trust it now. Have updated all my apps so that's not the issue. Lovely when it worked.

A beautiful way to wake up. If you are like me you go to the critical reviews to see the real deal about an app. Just ignore them in this case, they are posted by people that don't realize that developers can't run apps in the background. All you need to do is start this app before bed ( you can lock the iPad) and you are all set.

Nice, but.... Unreliable. Any Apple pop up kills it. I would like to love it, but I don’t need a 75% alarm clock- I need a 100% alarm clock. Sorry, but I’m moving back to the obnoxious clingy buzzy crap that works every time.

Brest for super sleepers. I am very hard to wake up and usually reset alarm clocks in my sleep. This helped me wake up slowly, and even blocked me from turning it off. If you have a magnetic cover for your iPad, you can fold it in half and that blocks the "dismiss" button, well as the menu button. Definitely a clever app and well worth the money

Progressive Alarm. This application clock is the most natural waking up experience I've had.

Peaceful Awakening. This is a great wake-up alarm... It doesn't mentally assault you like your standard alarm, but rather slowly and peacefully awakens you. To those of you worried that it might not wake you up, they have a special JUST IN CASE setting you can turn on, and you WILL arise immediately. The tones and variations make this a great progressive alarm system. I'm a bear in the morning if I'm awoken by any other type of alarm. Download this, you won't regret it.

Works great. No issues does exactly what you want it to do.

Great Alarm. I love this alarm. It wakes you gently and allows for a peaceful start to the day!

Love it. However, I would love a bigger snooze and stop button.

Great alarm.. Great alarm. Use it every day.

Delivers on it's promises.. This app does exactly what it advertises. I've never been awoken more peacefully. I've never used an alarm like this before and will never go back to being jolted out of bed again. For users complaining about the alarm being canceled when you exit the app - that's a fault of Apple not allowing multitasking, a fault that will be corrected with the new OS update coming later this month. That shouldn't be blamed on the app. For users complaining about how the screen locks, simply turn off the auto lock in the iPad general settings. You can also adjust brightness from there. Nowhere in this app's description did it advertise as displaying whether or being able to change clock displays - although those would be welcome additions. It saddens me to see reviewers giving an operable and useful app a single star - a rating that should be reserved for broken apps and scams.

Love it!. Love it! I really appreciate having this reliable way to awaken gently. I like the variety of settings.

Best alarm clock. If you want to wake up without a stress - this app is for you!

Awesome alarm! Avoid heart attacks! ;). This is THE perfect alarm! There are options to cover every need and I love the progressive volume of the alarms. I also like that you can turn the iPad completely off and it will wake at the appropriate time. Although it looks handy, I haven't used the journal but I have been using the alarm on business trips for over six months now and can't imagine anything better. Great, great job! Highly recommended.

Unfulfilled potential. This program delivers on the basic premise of waking one up gradually, and the tones it uses are beautiful. Unfortunately, the program has numerous shortcomings that cause it to ultimately fail as a bedside clock. Most importantly, the program blanks out the screen after displaying for a few minutes, even if the device is plugged in. This means that to see the time at night, you have to hit the home button and swipe to leave the lock screen. In short, it cannot function as a timepiece at night. Other issues are more matters of taste and style, but of course they still matter. There is only one clock face, for example. There's no calendar. There is no display of seconds. There is no display of current or predicted weather. There is no user-configurable dimming. All these are nice-to-haves, but together they provide the fit and finish that would make this a great app. I will increase my rating later if the product improves, but for now, it simply cannot do what I need in a basic bedside alarm; as such, I give it only one star.

Perfect app. I love waking up to a gentle chime vs a blaring alarm clock. I start the day with a MUCH better attitude.

Best Alarm App. Love this App... Best way to wake up. Has worked flawlessly for three years!

Incredible!. This is without a doubt the least objectionable way to be woken up ever devised. The ability to create your own progressions is a fantastic addition, and the sounds of the different bowls are so incredibly recorded that you can continue to hear the reverberations for sometimes over a minute (it seems, anyway). I love this app and can't think of a single thing I would change. This is my go-to alarm clock that I use every day, and it's even power-outage-proof! Absolutely highest recommendation! Try it!

Love it. Such a nicer way to wake up in the morning

A Gentle Wake Up. The progressive alarm clock wakes me up gently. It provides the closest experience to a natural wake up, while still waking me up on time.

Wake up!. I love this alarm! I do not like loud jarring noise to wake me. This wake me gently every time

A great way to awaken!!!. I used to own the Zen Timepiece. It was a pain to adjust the physical bowl on the base. This is the perfect replacement. It has authentic singing bowl sounds. You can customize the ring patterns and you can also snooze. Your iPad can charge over-night as you rest with confidence. Put away the old buzzing clocks and wake to the sounds of spirituality. This is a wonderful app!!!

I Like It. Real effort clearly went into finding and recording the alarm sounds. They are high-fidelity and "old world," but also very peaceful, and they can still wake you up. Personally, I wake relatively soon, before the volume increases. I do not use many of the fancy settings; I did pick a gong sound, and an escalation frequency which I like. This has never bombed, and has always worked alarm-wise. It is a quality product. I wish there was a version for iPhone 5, but perhaps the sound doesn't play the gongs with enough fidelity. Also, the settings may be hard to use on an iPhone 5. But I have not seen a progressive alarm for iPhone 5, so perhaps there could be a market for that device with less options? Bottom line, 5 stars.

Fantastic!. I was incredibly disappointed that apple didn't add an alarm clock to the iPad. Since I loved the one on my iPod touch so much, but now I'm glad they didn't, otherwise I would have never discovered this amazing app! It works great, when I barely open my eyes, I see the bright color on the screen when it turns on (I picked yellow) and the sound wakes me up instantly. For all of you who are complaining about having to basically stop using your iPad after you turn the alarm on? It doesn't matter, it's actually a good reminder that you have an alarm the next day, which for me is useful. Since I forget and get waken up. Love this app!

Excellent alarm. I love waking to the progressive chimes. I'd like to have volume control independent of system volume. It would be nice to be able to set the alarm at max volume and watch a video or listen to music at lower volume as I fall asleep. Third time I've made this request. If Apple's API makes it impossible, that's ok, but if it can happen, please make it happen. My previous two ratings of five stars stand, but this time, the app gets four because it still lacks this feature.

Best alarm clock ever. My favorite app

Gentle awakening.... The day goes by with smooth pleasantness like a spring sunrise smiling upon all of creation. Ditch those alarming alarm clocks and wake up in peace and harmony.

Gently Lifted not Blasted out of Sleep. The bells gently lift you out of sleep without the startle factor of a standard buzzer alarm, and without the urgent need to slap the snooze button to stop the hideous noise before you are awake enought to stay that way. But the gentle nature of the bells doesn't mean that they lull you back to sleep. The progressive nature means that it rings, you wake up a little, it fades away only to ring again in a minute or so to lift you a little further out of sleep, and again and again until you are fully awake. The ability to set your own progression is a great addition to the latest version (I set mine to start at 40% and increase 5% every minute to 100%, and then every 30 seconds at 100%). Without a doubt the most pleasant way to be awakened.

Great and smooth clock. I have been using this alarm for two days already and I like it. It is simple and does everything as promised. My only suggestions are as followed: 1. Please make the editing window a little lighter. Right now it is dark and hard to see the numbers. 2 the custom picture for background shows backwards. If you can fix this, it would be great.

Promising not reliable. Gentle way to start the day. Soothing but gets the job done. Update: after a year. Developer is nice, but no correction for this reported flaw with easy fix: if you wake up before alarm and leave then when it goes off it just goes all day long until your battery is gone. How easy to have it stop after half hour!! Suggested it twice now. Can't afford to lose entire battery charge that way. Otherwise nice. Six months since an update. Developer has moved on to other stuff.
