Needs improvements. Overall I love the CARROT apps, but this one falls short. It always talks loudly whenever you just open the app, which is very annoying. It must be left open, with the phone sound on, to actually wake you up. If you leave the app open but forget to take your phone off silent or forget to turn the volume up, it won't wake you up (it only buzzes if the sound is off). Once you open it, the app turns the sound wayyy up which seams unnecessary. It always says "the time is 12:00" no matter what time of day it is. I love the idea of having to do certain "chores" to shut it off, but it doesn't need to literally speak them. There should be a way to shut the voice off permanently. Reading the chores is enough, plus it ensures that you have to actually open your eyes! I find myself setting a backup alarm every day because I usually have my phone sound off all the time and usually forget to turn it on even if I remember to leave the app open. I really want to like this app but it definitely needs improvements to actually be a reliable alarm.

Much better!. First and foremost, I love CARROT. She is hilarious and makes my mornings a little less sucky. However I was having trouble with getting the app to sound the alarm. Sometimes the app was left in the background. Another time it didn't go off because there was an alert to update iOS. This new update fixed that. Thank you CARROT developers for fixing that! I'm excited that I no longer need to use the stock iPhone alarm to wake me up a minute before to make sure the CARROT app is ready to really wake me up.

Love my Carrot. It's good to see I'm not the only one that has had it not go off. I thought I had done something wrong. But aside from that I love this app. I don't snooze it because I hate to upset her but then the issue is I don't snooze it and then go back to sleep! But that's my issue not Carrrots. I wish there was some way she could sense if I went back to sleep or that I was insincere about waking up. Lol but I think that would be asking for AI on my phone and that in itself is alittle scary. But I love Carrot and on the days I do actually get up its with the help of Carrot.

Too Unreliable. I used to love Carrot Alarm, but over the last year or so it's become too unreliable to use as an alarm. I've been using it in tandem with the default alarm, because of how frequently it does not go off. That was annoying enough, then it started having issue in which it would go off on time but it would immediately go into hard mode as though I'd slept through it and was shutting it off late. The last straw for me was the word scramble chore. I've never like having to unscramble a word with no hints first thing in the morning but over the last two days I got letters that could make more than 1 word (salve, slave, vales, etc.) I think 'slave' was probably the correct answer but not what i saw first so I got it wrong. Additionally I got 8-9 letter words the last two days. I don't know about you but I can not unscramble that amount of letters with no context as soon as I wake up (if at all)... In summation, it used to work very well, but now it's unreliable and annoying certainly not worth paying money for an alarm that may or may not go off!

Not optimized for meatbag ears.. Bought the $18 Carrot pack, but I really wish I could get my money back for this particular app. Several reviewers have it right, the app asks you to keep it running in the background, which, ok.. fine. But then the alarm itself is nowhere near loud enough to wake anyone but the lightest sleepers. Once you open the app it gets louder, which means it could be louder all along. You can unlock features, but since it only gives you one minute to catch the alarm, you never get to unlock them. I really like Carrot apps, and I like the concept, but it doesn't actually work as an alarm clock. Soooo... what's the point?

Carrot is awesome!. The sound of the alarm pierces through the room. I wake up in panic. A feeling of dread rises up in me. “Oh no.” I say. “I’ve overslept.” I slowly walk over to see the cause of my terror. My phone flashes and buzzes and as I turn the screen over I see Carrot. No being serious here Carrot is probably the best thing that could happen to me. I have been able to get up on time and be far more productive. I do, however, have some grievances with the app. The ability to use Siri, for one, to turn on Carrot from across the room would be fanatic. Another issue is the fact that Carrot can get a bit repetitive. If there was more variety in the rewards then I would be a bit happier. Another thing that would be nice is if the app could take me to CARROT⁵ (Weather) after I turn off the alarm clock so I can check the weather for the day. My final suggestion would be a follow up alarm. I often find myself going back to my bed, so an alarm that goes off 10-20 minutes later to make sure I stay up would be great. Thanks, Carrot! I wouldn’t be able to do it without you!

Not reliable. Failed my third night using the alarm. I followed the directions and left it on that screen when I went to bed. I woke up and it said “T minus 23 hours and 30 minutes”. It completely skipped my alarm time. Luckily I set some backup alarms on my phone because I was afraid that after I did the “chores” I’d fall back asleep. Tried it a few more nights to make sure it wasn’t just a mistake on my part. This has been totally unreliable not to mention a horribly uncomfortable way to wake up. Love that you can’t try it before buying, they force you into buying it whether you like it or not.

Only thing that's ever worked. I am not a morning person, and after 32 years I'd all but given up. Hitting sleep all morning long has become a decade-long routine, and even if I really needed to go in to work extra early I'd talk myself out of it. Even putting an alarm clock across the room didn't work. Since this app has about a million five star reviews, and I really wanted the weather app, I got the bundle. Yes, there have been a few bugs, and I do still have a backup alarm just in case. But every time I have needed to get up, I get up. It's amazing. My coworkers are shocked. I'm shocked! I hit sleep once on purpose because the extra chores and yelling help, but seriously. 32 years, and this is the only thing that's worked besides my mother/roommates yelling at me.

Not Ideal For Me. 1. You have to unlock every single tiny feature or pay more to unlock them faster. This is very slow unless I assume, you but every single little task you do (even if you complete them immediately) into the app. 2. The app is so slow to open. The app lets you know it’s angry with you when you open it, then let’s you reread it over again, then tap a dozen times, then again, then see all Carrots other apps/store. Now you can add a task. (This is the same on an iPhone X & 8 Plus, I know... Apple Fanboy Problems...) 3. Where’s the personality? The first couple times it’s funny, I prefer the sarcastic remarks. But the AI gets bored with it almost faster than you do. After days of ‘okay’ and ‘hmmm’ responses I question why I use this app over any other. So that’s why after buying the bundle I am keeping the weather app and deleting the rest.

Awesome, but set a back-up alarm. I'm revising what had been a poor review due to a couple of weeks when CARROT had inexplicably stopped working. At the time I was frustrated because I wasn't getting answers quickly enough, however I was on the impression that a corporation put out the app. It turns out it's a very clever individual. The inventor is also the help desk and customer service rep. Those are a lot of hats to wear. Just as inexplicably, the app has started working again. I'm not sure how this happened, but I am enjoying being being brutally awakened again. I think the bottom line here is that CARROT offers a unique and fun awakening experience, but it smart to keep a backup alarm on, just in case it runs into a snag.

CARROT: MAKING YOUR LIFE MISERABLE SCINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIME. Aren't you sick of your boring alarm clock? Don't you hate it when your alarm doesn't wake you up? Well here's the solution. The CARROT alarm clock. It has features like, purposefully ANNOYING you, having someone to TALK to and the most important feature, a alarm that will NOT shut off EVEN if you use the VOLUME on your phone, unless is you do a SERIES of TASKS! but wait, there's more! Don't forget about BEDTIME STORYS,, SONGS and much much more! Get CARROT today for $2.99 plus shipping and handling! But in all seriousness This is a great app but I have to say, it gets you very FRUSTRATED in the morning.

Doesn't work. It's supposed to function if you enable notifications & sounds if you leave the app running in the foreground but lock the screen. It doesn't. This was according to instructions from the app itself. Didn't happen. All I got were a bunch of silent, progressively insulting notifications and was late for work. So next, I left the phone unlocked with the app running. Unfortunately, I can do Carrot's "chores" in a state of near consciousness & once I get her to shut up, I'm back to sleep in a matter of seconds. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

This is an awesome app. This app is awesome but if you snooze it it is too loud. When it wakes you up after snoozing it it could just use the same sound that it used before. This is a great quality app because it actually wakes me up but it make me mad by calling me a “meat bag” in some of the notifications. If it could just be a smidge nicer that would be great.

Crazy cool. I've been actually waking up on time, which is a crazy big deal for me. What a clever idea and fun way to start the day. It's literally a godsend for someone who finds mornings generally dreadful. Perhaps it's too soon to be gushing--I've only had it a few days--but it feels like it's working in a way that every other app I tried hasn't. Brava!

Great idea with a couple minor flaws. I really love this app overall. I am hard to wake up and constantly abuse the snooze button. The daily chores to shut off the alarm are great for waking me up and of course I want to get up on time lest I offend the robot. Only problem is there are some usability issues. Opening the app at all causes the robot to speak loudly, making it awkward to set an alarm when others in the house have already gone to bed. Despite her loud voice the alarm itself is a little too quiet by default and often by accident I sleep right through it thus upsetting the robot. But the menu to adjust the volume is unlockable meaning you have to level up by waking up on time to make it louder, thus being a bit of a catch 22.

Love the idea.. not reliable. I’ve tried three times now to use the Carrot alarm, but all three times, it has failed to go off. It seems to be crashing during the night, or something. I have insured that my volume is not muted, I have had the app running in the foreground, my phone is plugged in, and I leave my phone unlocked and face down. Sometimes, when I do wake up, I see a number of messages on the phone indicating the alarm thought it was trying to wake me. Sometimes, it just doesn’t appear to do anything. I love the idea of this alarm... I just wish I could rely on it. I think the requirement of leaving the app in the foreground and sound enabled is unnecessary. Other alarm apps seems to manage without these requirements. I never have a problem with the Sleep Cycle alarm, and that is what I will continue to use, unless/until Carrot can figure this out.

App broken. This app is largely broken after the iOS update. Not only is the wonderful voice gone and replaced by Stephen Hawking (no offense, but liked the female voice better) but I can’t get the app to work right anymore. It used to be that after I locked the screen for the night the phone would ring the “good” wake up call and I’d be able to unlock the screen and play the games to make Carrot happy. Now my alarm doesn’t even ring until a minute or two after my alarm time and it’s only the mean alarm. When I pick up my phone there’s 20+ notifications on the screen, but it didn’t make a peep until mean Carrot came out. Today instead of locking my screen I left it on all night. I wanted to see if that would make a difference and it did! The “good” Carrot actually woke me up, but when I reached for my phone to pick it up, simply lifting it was enough to trigger the snooze setting. That’s not what I wanted to do. I wanted to play the games with good Carrot and be done, but once again I got mean Carrot. I love this app but as it is now I don’t think it’s acting as intended. I’m hopeful that they fix these issues, but until they do I’ll be looking for a new alarm app.

Interesting and fun approach. Waking up is not easy and it's not fun, but Carrot has found a way to change it a little bit. Whenever you wake up you need to do some "chores" to stop the alarm, which are enough to actually make you move and think a little bit and make the waking up easier. I am not a huge fan of the leveling up to unlock features, specially when some of them would be super useful (like recurring alarms). My only big complaint is that the voice when you open the app is not muted when the silent mode is enabled in the phone, which can be a problem when you remember at midnight that you didn't leave the app open and your wife is already asleep. I hope a future update fixes that.

SO annoying, which is the point. I rarely buy (or even download) apps that haven’t had an update in more than a year, but this was part of a bundle. Now I use it everyday. Other reviews that “like it, but...” nailed some of the problems: has to be open/cant be running in the background. The voice is always loud, even when I just turn it on, which is a big problem if you’re sharing a room with an early-to-bedder. (Same w/ all the apps; I don’t need all of Starbucks to hear my to do list.) But working with those in mind, app gets me up and going because it is SO annoying. The tasks are the right amount of hard, but not so hard I have to be alert already to do them.

Doesn't go off if your phone is locked. I was really excited for this alarm app, I have always been terrible at waking up. But the alarm doesn't go off if your phone is locked. I followed the instructions to have the app open and not in the background when you lock your phone for the night, but the alarm didn't go off until I unlocked my phone 20 minutes after it was supposed to go off. The support section also says to make sure you have notifications on for the app, but it doesn't show up in the notifications settings section. Hope they fix this.

Really, Really, want to love it more.. I love the sadistic nature of the alarm, the abuse, the sarcasm, being called a meatbag in the morning. Sooo many features done right. But hear are my major issues. 1. Will not go off if your alarm is on silent or vibrate. 2. Even though you have to pay for the app. Most of the features require you to "rank up points" by waking up to unlock very ESSENTIAL AND BASIC features. Like being able to fine tune the wake up time in 5 min intervals, and reoccurring alarms that reset automatically. 3. The big one - this app has to remain open and on top. So if you have trouble falling asleep and like music like me (typically someone who needs an alarm like this has issues involving sleep), then too bad, no music apps will work in the background as this app cancels their audio output. Additionally, if you set this alarm, and check another app - and then forget to put it back on top or fall asleep - it doesn't work. Too bad. I Really Really Really want to love this app. Please unlock the features, allow it to force through silent mode, and allow some way to have music on when falling asleep.

dysfunctional. as much as i want to give this a 5 star rating, i can’t bring myself to do it. i love the idea of the carrot apps, and i love the to do list app, however the alarm clock app just doesn’t make the cut. for it to wake you up, you have to keep the app running, turn on the ringer, and turn off do not disturb. this is a problem for me, because i will be woken up throughout the night by other apps (which i can’t turn off notifications for as they’re kinda important). my solution to this was keeping the volume low, however then i couldn't hear the alarm go off. if it would vibrate as well, then it would be great, because the surface i have to keep my phone on when charging causes the vibration of my phone to be extremely loud, but alas- it doesn’t seem to vibrate. the other issue i have with this app is that over half the time the alarm will not go off, even though i have the ringer on, the app open, and do not disturb is off. also, i’d appreciate if the app wouldn’t turn the volume unnecessarily high when you do the wake up tasks, as i wake up before others in my house, and i have received complaints about how loud it is. i have turned the app’s volume adjusting feature to 25%, however it doesn’t seem to actually make it lower. overall, when it works properly, the app is good, but there are rooms for improvement.

Pretty nice app. Has its flaws.. This app is really nice for an alarm clock. It has changing, various music tracks to wake you up so it's never too monotonous, it can get interactive just before you go to bed, and it really knows how to push your buttons when you don't push its. But it has some...flaws. Unless you leave the app open, the alarm just doesn't seem to work, as in it just never seems to go off. That presents the problem of not being able to actually wake you. The other thing is that it uses a leveling up to unlock things-system, which usually gets you like 100 points per wake up. But if you SNOOZE, it takes about 50 points away instead of adding any, which if you're a heavy sleeper, is a major issue. However I think you can farm points to level up by setting random alarms and then "waking up" to them to level up faster, or use it as a regular alarm system.

Watch side of things needs work. I just woke up with this app for the first time this morning. As far as my phone goes, it worked as expected. But there is a disconnect between the phone and the watch. At the alarm time my watch vibrates. There is no option to snooze on the watch (there should be) all you can do is dismiss it, in which case it just re-fires the notification immediately. So I pick up my phone and tell it to snooze. Then before the snooze period is expired, I pick up the phone and successfully go through the process (chores) of proving that I’m up. But.. minutes later, (at about the time the alarm would have sounded again) my watch starts going nuts again. Dismiss and it just keeps re-notifying and vibrating at me.

Paid for it and I still have to unlock features. I would have rather saved my measly 3 dollars to purchase 1-ply toilet paper as it would be more effective of doing its job than this app. I saw the app and it’s features and thought I would give it a try. I rarely purchase apps at all, if that tells you anything. I’ve tried several other alarm clocks including alarmy, which does get me up, but also everyone else in the house too! I thought I’d give this a try with similar features, no ads and good reviews. So I bought the app to find out waking up is a game, I have to level up to open up all the features. At the very least I was severely disappointed with this game. Having trouble with Circadian rhythm disorder I was hoping an alarm clock app would be that, an alarm with varying features to separate itself from the other. Not a game to where I need to level up to unlock features that should have been part of the app to begin with. There are several free apps which already include these.

iOS 12 changed Carrot’s Voice. I have been faithfully using Carrot as my alarm clock for years. My wife hates it, but the fear of her wrath gets me out of the bed in record time, and the small manual tasks are just enough to break through my morning fog. Simply put, it works for me. With the addition of iOS 12, though, everything went pear-shaped. Once upon a time, Carrot’s voice was the perfect combination of snide and commanding. Then, changes in iOS forced her to use the standard Siri voice (disappointing but tolerable). Now, iOS 12 has changed “her” voice into this strange, male, robotic thing that pales in comparison to the Carrot of old. Dear developer, please address this! Should Carrot “get her groove back,” I would be happy to change my rating back to the five stars this app usually deserves.

❤️ love carrot. I purchased all of the CARROT apps. I use them all and love the snarky comments! They work great together to help this lowly meatbag get stuff done and keep track of what I’m doing. I look forward to waking up, checking the weather, going over my to do list, getting in a workout, and keeping track of my calories, playing the AI game, and caring for my cat. These apps brighten my day!

Almost…. Good implementation of the idea, but I wish for the ability to do the following two things: 1. Set the alarm for a time that falls outside of the 5 or 15-minute increments by which I can adjust the time. 2. I wish Carrot would talk to me as the alarm is going off to repeatedly announce the current time, intermittently switching between the time and alarm tone itself, so that in my sleepy haze I could be more aware of what time it was in the moment. Knowing the time reduces the chances of me hitting snooze, going back to bed, and losing my job from having had accidentally overslept.

New update got me to use this again. I had written off carrot alarm due to my work policy making my phone automatically lock if I want to get corporate email on it. This meant that the alarm wouldn't work. This is now fixed! I also don't have to remember to check my dnd setting if I have to wake up really early. I have to say to all the people that have had it not go off while trying it, I've been using it again since the update and haven't had it not go off but why are you guys not setting a backup alarm when trying out a new alarm?!? It's going to take a lot of trust for me to 100% trust any alarm which is why even when I used the apple alarm I had a real alarm on my bedside also.

Update. I have happily been using this alarm clock for about a year now with no problems, my alarm always went off and I never woke up late.... Until I got the update. Now on some days my alarm doesn't go off. I do the same thing every day like I always did but it still doesn't go off. I don't know what's wrong. Please fix this

Best alarm app around. This app is the most effective and fun alarm app I've used. Unlike other alarms which you can just snooze, this one requires you to do tasks with loud music and bright screens which keeps you awake. I love everything about it except one thing. On weekend nights, I don't use the alarm, so I'd like to be able to set the repeater to only repeat on certain nights. That would be awesome. Thanks for all the hard work!

Bad alarm clock, good comedian. I love Carrot’s other apps so I tried this one. This is a barely functional alarm clock that says funny things and thinks it’s a game (You have to earn points to unlock practical functions). If that’s your thing, get it. Personally I want an alarm that lets you set multiple alarms, adjust settings as to how it goes off and what sound plays, etc. apparently this does SOME of those things if you earn it. I don’t have time for that.

Unreliable. I hate to give this such a bad review as I do love carrot apps as they are very entertaining. But as I rely heavily on my alarm to wake me up, I have to say this is a miss. It does not always ring even with the phone not on silent mode. After setting the alarm, even though it knows how many hours till you have to wake up, if you click on it to check what time you should be waking, it would glitch and show you your previous alarm time. I would really appreciate it if this can be fixed as it’s been more than 2 years ago since it last updated. Other than that when it does ring it works well.

Good app, would tweak tho.... I love the idea of this alarm clock, however, the implementation of it I find to be opposite of what I actually need. I need the app to make *hitting snooze* difficult. Once I actually am ready to get up, I just turn off the alarm on my way out of bed. This on the other hand makes me do exercises to turn it off. My issue is endless snoozing, and this alarm does not seem to mind the number of times I hit snooze, so it doesn't actually help me get up!

Great idea, but disappointing app.. I think the voice is hilarious, and love the wake up exercises! It truly does get me out of bed and wake me up....when the alarm goes off. I've only had the app for a week, and have been setting the alarm for every morning, but it has only actually gone off twice. When I finally do get out of bed, I'll see the notifications from the app even though I heard no sound. I leave the app open and volume on as suggested, yet I'm still having problems. I love the concept, but I do wish it was more reliable - especially since I had to pay for it.

For the hard to wake up. This app does not tread lightly with your desire to ignore it. Try if you dare! If you have a partner with a later schedule even better. You jump out of bed, run into another room to perform the ' daily chores". Too bad I did not have this when I was in the working world. Now am retired but still busy and love getting up before the sun. Love that the app is always being tweaked for fun.

Please Update!. I love CARROT Alarm Clock, CARROT's snarky attitude, dubstep and fun synth rhythms. The task based alarm clock helps me get out of bed whenever I need too. Unfortunately, CARROT's been pressed with the "please update for future compatibility" iOS message. As CARROT Alarm has been an integral part of my life (like any good AI ;P), I'm begging the developer to update it. I know the rest of the CARROT pack was updated, please don't let this fun & funny alarm die! And I know nobody reads, but CARROT does not "not work" even on ios 10. Make sure silent is off and the "do not lock" option is also on. She works only while you want to hear her. (This is convenient for ignoring her on days off, but she will spam with notifications.) Notifications do work, but only if silent is off and will sound at the "Ringer" volume level (not "Music" volume level) which can only be adjusted if no sound is playing. And finál, 3 requests. 1) make CARROT's volume in-app adjustable again, I'm already awake, no need to continue blaring at 100% volume, this was previously adjustable but no longer. 2) Burn the word scramble game with fire (or at least let me turn it off) or add hints. 3) please update!

Doesn’t work with newest iOS update (12). I downloaded Carrot weather and not only loved it, but laughed hysterically at it. I decided to purchase the bundle of all the Carrot apps because I wanted that snark on multiple levels of my life. Unfortunately, the alarm app did not work at all. I followed instructions by putting opening it and turning the alarm on, leaving it open as I locked my phone to go to sleep. For 3 days in a row, the alarms did not go off. My rating is 2 stars to hopefully bring attention to this so it’s looked into by the developers and fixed.

For the HARD to get up people. This is truly the best Alarm clock I have ever used. There are several nights I only get 3 to 4 hours of sleep so when the alarm does go off I would hit the snooze button for that few extra minutes of sleep. Well usually I end up falling back into a deep sleep thus over sleeping. The problem with most alarm clocks was you don’t have to be awake to hit the snooze button. With this app you do have to be awake to answer or complete the tasks. Since I started using this app I now only need one alarm and I do get out of bed right after taking care of the challenges. The Bonus is it has the Carrot personality. Kudos to the Carrot creators.

DO NOT BUY! ABANDONED APP!!!. This WAS the signature Carrot app way way way back in AppStore equivalent to earth’s Jurassic Period. Apparently Carrot’s parents have been somewhat preoccupied with the weather over the past few years and are still milking the four stars their clock app has for every sucker that will pay $2.99! The app was abandoned and hasn’t been updated in over THREE (3) YEARS. Archaic clunky interface and the developers should pull the app off of the App Store if they aren’t going to update it. This WAS a great app and could be again if the developers could get their LAZY A$$3$ OUT OF BED early enough to squeeze a few extra hours into their day to update it. Perhaps you guys could use that todo list app you built??? ;)

Love the app, but needs one change. I love this app. It's fantastic and does exactly what it's supposed to do. The only critique I have is that in one of the recent updates, Carrot's greeting was added to when you switch to the already open app. Previously she only greeted when the app was first opened. It makes it inconvenient that in the middle of the night if something needs to be checked, Carrot is greeting me in all of her glory. Please fix!

Alarm with an ATTITUDE. This is one of the best alarms I have used. She says something sassy when you open her and then if you make any mistake while setting the alarm you will receive a silly sarcastic statement. You earn points each time you successfully get up and do her "chores" and those points go toward unlocking various elements. Do not snooze. She warns you about this. She gets "mad" when you do not get up. This will in turn give you more "chores" to do in order to turn her off. Remember to always leave her running in the background or the alarm with not work. However, there are codes for this and I hope that the developer figures them out so that this app can be more useful. It also does not always override the volume, so if you forget to turn your volume from mute she may or may not work.

Get Serious About Waking Up!. Point: to wake up! Goal: waking up! App: wakes you up! Carrot Alarm is going to wake you up. If you don't know how to keep your phone/device in sleep/silent/Do Not Disturb mode, then please research the numerous ways and how-to's that do not interfere with Carrot or any other alarm-type app. The point of an alarm is to wake you up and is therefore, annoying. If you don't want to be annoyed, get rid of your alarm, never wake up and ... Carrot rocks BECAUSE 'She' is annoying, loud, obnoxious and makes you want to smash your phone/device to bits (like an epic fitness trainer). If you don't like the brilliant (Yes, that's correct: they thought this thing through) interaction you are 'forced' to deal with when utilizing Carrot, ... maybe you should just stay in bed.

Cool idea, shoddy outcome.. I gave this 2 stars because honestly I love the CARROT weather app. The alarm clock.... Not so much. The limited functionality is my biggest reason for not liking it. Though I’m sure it gets better with future unlocks. The degree in which I can customize my original Apple alarm app for a variable schedule make it way more useful to me. Things like unlocking normal app features such as menu access and fine tuning wake-ups could also probably be re-evaluated. Save your money and use a different alarm clock.

DON'T DO IT!!!. I know it sounds amazing. You, like me, probably have trouble waking up. This alarm is not your savior. Even after giving all permissions, the app will still ONLY WORK IF THE APP IS ACTIVELY RUNNING with your phone unlocked. Even if it's running in the background it won't work. If you wake up, look at another app, and forget to make it the open one before you fall back asleep it WILL NOT WORK. Most settings are "unlocked" by waking up via the app over days of use, INCLUDING VOLUME CONTROL. If this was a free app these problems would be more understandable. On a paid app it's ridiculous. No wonder they don't have a preview version because no one would pay for it. >_____<

Can't wake up without CARROT alarm. This is the best alarm clock I have ever had. I have always had trouble waking up in the morning and no other alarm clock has reliably woken me up. I've tried setting several alarms, using different kinds of alarms, and moving my alarm clock around the room, but I still manage to "sleep walk" & turn it off in the morning without actually fully waking up and becoming conscious. At first I didn't really like CARROT because it can be so obnoxious and downright mean (verbally berating you), but now I set it every night. It's amazing. The alarm sound is so blaring, loud, and grating, that it always wakes me up enough to want to turn it off (and the tones vary so I can't get used to it enough to be able to tune it out). Then the tasks that it makes you complete before it will turn off are perfect for waking me up the rest of the way. When I wake up I'm so sleepy and bleary eyed and sometimes I don't even know who I am, where I am, or why it's important for me to get out of bed, but by the time I have completed CARROT's tasks and successfully turned it off, I am fully awake and I remember why I need to get up (to go to work, etc), and I actually get up!! I have struggled with waking up in the morning all my life and this app has made it possible for me to reliably and independently wake up every morning (without relying on another person to make sure I've gotten up)! I would definitely recommend this app!!!

Very Entertaining. This is a creative App and funny to interact with. Just wish the color selection and fonts were more reader friendly for those of us who can’t see without our glasses in the mornings. I struggle to read the small light font and get yelled at for getting it wrong! 😂 Fun way to wake up.

Will upgrade to five stars with the option to turn off certain unlockables.. I am chronically late to work, as in fear of losing job chronic, but I just can't will myself out of bed. Carrot has solved my problem. But! I hate that I can't turn off the shake to snooze and shake to turn on flash lite options now that I've unlocked them. Due to the plug situation in my room my phone stays at the foot of my bed instead of a nightstand and shaking is inevitable, making these really annoying "upgrades". The base level version of this app actually worked better for me.

Almost entirely perfect. I hate mornings with a seething passion. I don't like to wake up and I don't like to interact with anything or anyone before 10 am. However, in using Carrot for the last week, I'm not only awake, but chuckling away, almost cheerful. I've used snooze just the once, and was equally amused at it. The one caveat: if you don't remember to leave it open as you go to bed, it doesn't go off and your left with quite amusing notifications, but no alarm. Set a backup alarm, or get to the point that it reminds you to leave it open and running. Very helpful, that. When I can leave it running in the background, I will most certainly change my review to 5 stars.

I love Carrot, but.... The app is suppose to work while running in the background. It does not. I must leave the phone open to the app for the alarm to sound. Normally, this isn’t a big deal unless I need to use the white noise app to get to sleep in the first place! While running in the background, Carrot sends me all kinds of progressively more and more irate text notifications about waking up. Somehow, this just doesn’t do it for me.

Creativity at its best!. Worth buying just for the intro when app is first run!!!!!

Serious battery problems. The idea is great, Carrot is great, sassy and sarcastic as all hell. The chores are sound too. But the inability to adjust volume is bad, and the need to charge overnight or sacrifice 30-40% of battery life is terrible. Even when left charging, my phone heats up way more than normal charging, and to what feels like a dangerous level.... Money back would be ideal.. if only.

Bleep Bloop. I love her ;),, would consider in app purchases to unlock current locked levels :D lol

Incredibly loud. CARROT is fun. She's funny, she gets you out of bed to shut her up, poking her eye is inadvisable but probably too amusing. My only issue is that this app is WAY too loud. I live in a dorm, and every time I use CARROT as my alarm I get up quickly in a panic that I'm going to wake up the whole floor. I've got my iPhone volume on absolute minimum, and the app alarm at its lowest setting, yet it's still ear-bleedingly loud. I'm a light sleeper - just my phone vibrating is enough to wake me up, so the volume being so loud is unnecessary. Any chance of a better volume system?

Annoying. Use a regular alarm unless you sleep like the dead. This will no doubt get you up, but also annoy anyone sleeping next to you. It presents tests to wake you. Nothing intuitive mind you. Too expensive too; and not as clever as the developers think it is.

Perfect. Carrot is the only alarm that always wakes me up fully

Best Alarm Ever. The sheer contempt of this alarm to the human condition makes it the best alarm ever. Hilarious approach to waking up, making this app quite possibly the best way in which to be roused from slumber. Given the complexity of the tasks required to turn the alarm off gives you the best chance of waking up and staying that way. Nothing but praise for this app.

Great. It's different and a good alarm. I like

Best Alarm Clock Ever. It gets me up and awake in seconds it sorta annoying though but it's still great but fix the bug where the alarm doesn't go off sometimes :) pls it would be Appreciated anyway i love the carrot apps there just funny and so cool 😎

Carrot did not force me to swipe right and rate her.... I went from cursing daybreak to embracing it, carrot has made me a happier human.

Smash your sleep inertia!!!. Love it - this actually cures sleep inertia, makes me laugh AND annoys my husband - all at the same time!! NB - you don't actually really need to leave it open

No more snoozing. I the app, I had a big problem with snoozing. After doing daily chores to turn it off I'm up

Great concept. Love the app, but it's wayyyyy too loud & you can't turn it down. I'm a light sleeper & I don't need it so loud. I can't use it incase it wakes the whole house up! Great concept though.

#⃣1⃣ Dayum 👌👍. Out of all the alarm clocks I tried this Carrot lady always seems to wake me up unlike all the other meatbag alarm clocks. I was quite sceptical about purchasing this app as I don't buy many things from the App Store, but this is probably the best decision I ever made 😊. I cannot thank the developers for waking me up and not getting me late to school everyday. For those who have read this far high five ✋ and if you are searching for an alarm app this is your #1 choice. P.S This is my first ever review on an app so please like it 😋👊👌

Hilarious and fantastic!. Makes me look forward to my mornings :)

Love it. I highly recommend this app, there is nothing like waking up to carrots gentle insults :)

Room for improvement. Great app but could be improved to the same standard as CARROT⁵ Weather.

Last updated 2 Years Ago.... Really?

Have to keep your phone unlocked. This app would be grate but if you lock your phone and/or its on do not disturb mode, you can't hear carrot and after a while she quits and cancels the alarm. Unlike clock (Apple's app) you need to have the volume turned up instead of ring. Carrot is also not compatible with Apple Watch...

Best. Alarm. Clock. App. Ever.. This is the only thing that'll wake me up now.

Most fun alarm in the known universe. Hint to Portal fans: its like having GLaDOS wake you up each morning. Hilarious insults and rewards and mysterious things to unlock. This morning one of my chores to turn off the alarm was to caress my phone sensually while another was to release the kittens. Instruction messages are hilarious too. Wake up to humor.

Heart attack. I am pleasantly surprised. This confusing, sarcastic, teasing app is just about the best thing I've got all day.

Great but annoying. I love CARROT and all the apps but this one is annoying only because it needs to be running the whole time and I can't lock the phone overnight or forget to have it charged. In case you didn't know, your iCloud syncs, software updates happen when it's charged and locked. And leaving the phone charged all the time kills the battery!!!

the best. the only way to wake up, 100% worth it, best alarm app there is :)

Good app but needs work. This is one of the only alarms that is great when you are in a deep sleep, the only issue I have is when you get on a high level and can’t solve a puzzle it needs a skip option or to change the puzzle type if you get it wrong. I ended up having to delete the app just to turn the alarm off.

Sarcasm. I love it meatbags. This alarm thingy is great. I think Carrot is Siri's evil cousin. She has noises ur mind will not get used to and ignore in the morning. The levels one is motivated to move towards is fun and in this day and age it is wonderfully politically incorrect in some places. A refreshing change ha ha. It would be funny to hear "her" say those wake up comments, at least on the first alarm ring :-). Will look at carrots other products now. As if I haven't enuf apps.

Guaranteed to wake you up. This alarm would wake Sleeping Beauty. I have great difficulty waking up properly in the mornings & have tried numerous alarm clock apps to overcome this problem, but they've woken up everyone else in the house except me. Carrot is great because not only is it loud enough to wake the deepest sleeper, it is interactive so you must complete several tasks before you can turn it off. Also, if you choose to snooze, you lose!

Love it. Just the evil start I need!

Not bad. I like these guys, their design is always on point.

Clever & Entertaining. A great attempt at addressing the unpleasantness of having to wake to an alarm. This is the least likely alarm to make want to throw my phone out the window. Need Aussie voice.

Great!. A really great app, some-what disturbing (turn down the insults) but fun and a great motivator

It works!! … and is fun.. Sure gets the brain to “stimulated” status, and cuts through the morning fogginess. I find myself looking forward to my alarm going off.

Environmentally irresponsible!. This app could be good if only you didn't have to leave the app open and on charge over night as the instructions suggest. This is environmentally irresponsible. As if there isn't enough carbon emissions contributing to global warming.

Forefront sadness. I like listening to soft music to help me sleep however as soon as I put Carrot in the forefront the music stops. So I can't go to sleep the way I like to... I wasn't woken by my alarm clock but she was still angry about it anyway

Very effective. Carrot really helps me to actually get up when I say I will. Very effective, especially if you have to put glasses on to turn her off.

Oh dear.... I'm actually really enjoying this app!

Actually gets me up quickly in the morning!. Love this app, really quirky and fun (yet sadistic) way to wake up!

Carrot's awesome. No matter how big of a cow carrot can be, I'll always love her.

Landscape option?. On the whole this is one of the most effective and amusing alarms ever! All I want is a landscape view

Works for me. I can sleep through almost anything, but Carrot gets me up in the morning!

Worth the $8.. This alarm clock is the best alarm I have ever used and is the only thing that wakes me up at quarter past 6 everyday. I only gave it 4 stars though because I can’t set custom alarm tones. I’m moving away from this app because of that. Even adding it as a reward at a certain level would be better than not being able to do it at all. Apart from that however, great app.

Fantastic. Im guilty of constantly hitting snooze, but with Carrot's morning chores, it forces your brain into gear and i wake up first time every time. Humerous and loud, the best alarm ive had

Feature request. Is it possible to turn the strobe function off? My partner can be subject to seizures :/

Turns itself off. Does not wake me up. Turns itself off after a period of time. Jokes are terrible, and ineffective. Problem solving period not long enough.

Wake Up Smiling. Carrot never fails to deliver unique humour every day. I look forward to waking up with her!

Love it. Great app Definitely worth the dollar

Good app. I recommend this app.

Love it. This is the best alarm app I've ever downloaded. It's hilarious to begin with which is nice cos alarms are not fun things, but its also the most gentle and effective wake up ever! Carrot doesn't make me grumpy all morning with a harsh wake up, its a nice change, not being screamed awake by my phone!

Brings joy to my mornings! 🌈. Totally worth the money. Carrot is hilarious yet sometimes can be quite annoying but that's what makes this app unique. Highly recommended! 👍🏻

Imagine you at your best. All the time. Picture yourself at your sharpest and most productive. Your most alert and focused. Your most lucid, creative and confident. At work. At play. In every area of your life. Add Mind Lab Pro® v4.0 to your daily routine and uncap your true potential. Buy Now!

Nothing special. So the synthetic voice is sometimes funny, I wouldn't buy this app again. The wont you be my minion is kind of annoying when it is not actually sung. I'd pass on this one.

Great app when it works. I've had this alarm for a year or so now and initially it was good but something (either iOS or CARROT update) has made it so that the alarm will only make noise if the phone is unlocked and the app is open. Pretty useless if you have to leave you phone unlocked all night every night.

Never sleep in again. I've had this app since November, and thanks to it I've never slept it.

Amazing little alarm clock.. I love the app, but my daughter hates it. Why? Because it’s annoying as hell and she has to get out of bed to turn it off (I leave it on the other side of her room lol) The only reason why I gave it 4 stars is because I wish there was an option to set more then 1 alarm. Add that and I will change to a 5 star rating ☺️

Funny, but it didn't wake me up.. I set the alarm, made sure my volume was all the way up, and do not disturb was set to turn off 15 minutes before alarm time, and made sure the app was running, and locked my screen. I woke up an hour late, to the sound of someone starting their vehicle outside. Nice idea, but it doesn't actually seem to work.

I use it every day. If you are thinking about getting it, get it! It's awesome. PLEASE MAKE A CALENDAR APP Please. I will use it all the time

Ok with problems. Love the Carrot to do list but wish I'd read reviews before buying this. Some alarms are too quiet to wake you. Also, be aware that your phone has to be plugged in and charging w the app running to use this clock, which by itself is enough to make me revert to the iPhones built in alarm.

Great. Wakes me up all the time

Awesome alarm clock!. It's very funny and the little games help you wake up.

DND has to be offfor this to work?. Would be a great app if do not disturb didn't have to be turned off . Not worth sacrificing a peaceful nights sleep without your phone bothering you for a cool alarm clock . Otherwise this would have been the best alarm app I've seen by far. Do an update!!!! Fix DND thanks :)

Great app, but could use more. This is a great app. I wish it allowed for more chores upfront instead of waiting for more to be unlocked

Alarm Clock married Gladdos.... And spawned CARROT. Enough said.

Good, except... I really like the whole idea of it, and I use her every morning. However, my volume is always down to the lowest it can go, but it still is extremely loud and kind of hurts my ears. Please change it.

Orphan Annie Alarm App. No updates in 7 years? Neglected app needs rework to align with latest large screen iPhones. Developers asleep at the wheel. App should bid adieu to the App Store. 🤬

Wakin' wit 'tude. She's saucy and lippy but gets me outa da sack every morning!!

Good. It works - thats all that matters isn't it? PS: I like the additional perks of the built in AI - makes me laugh.

The Best Application. ***** I give it a five star✌ 😊

Love it! (Hate it when I want to sleep in). It's like you want to sleep but some keeps bugging you until you give up and get up.

She knows things…. Great update. You have to do 'chores' to ensure you're awake. A gimmick, but it's kept me up. You get small rewards when you use the app. An enduring AI personality.

An alarm shouldn’t require daily work. It’s Apple’s fault, I’m certain, that Carrot Alarm only works if it’s the foreground app running on your phone when you lock screen at bedtime. Problem is, I like using Calm’s ambient sounds and/or sleep stories, but both apps can’t be in the foreground simultaneously. So I’m annoyed that this alarm WON’T wake me if I forget or choose not to put it in the foreground before sleeping. That’s the entire point of an alarm, to set it and forget it (Thanks Ron Popiel). Apple’s own alarm works AND rings even when the DND switch is in Silent Mode. Not so Carrot Alarm. Leave the phone in silent mode so you don’t hear the beep of random messages or tests of the emergency SMS system and you WON’T hear Carrot Alarm either. This is really crappy. I wish there was a way to Make Apple’s own alarm wake up Carrot Alarm as a workaround. Alas, if I want to wake up, I have to rely on Apple and not the Carrot. Sigh.

Orange Potatoes. I like it as much as I like orange potatoes. It throws me out of bed the same way that throw potatoes. Orange potatoes

Random notifications. Occasionally, I'll get notifications from the app in the middle of the night, despite not having opened the app in weeks. Very strange.

iPhone X screen. Update for iPhone X screen

Does the trick. Nothing like being called a meat bag first thing in the morning!

Great alarm app except.... I really like this concept. However, I cannot control the volume on it! I choose 25% and it still blasts! I even turn my phone volume right down. I want the alarm to wake me up not my entire house!

All hail CARROT. Simple & superb! All it needs is some layouts and it'll grab 5 ⭐️'s! UPDATED REVIEW: No longer works as this app doesn’t appear in the notifications settings.

Good app. At one point there was a glitch that made it impossible to complete tasks, but it seems resolved now.

Awesome app. Awesome CARROT Is an Amazing idea

Alarm does not go off!!!. I am using this on an iPhone 8 with iOS 11.4.1 and I have made sure that my DND is disabled before the time the alarm goes off. With the app running in the foreground, if I hit the power button to turn off the display, the alarm makes a little noise and pops up notifications saying I must be dead, but it does not go into full alarm mode. I have tried this while on the wireless charge and while plugged in. I contacted support and they suggested I leave it running in the foreground with the display on. This does work but it’s not an acceptable solution. It lights up the room even with the display brightness set to minimum and it’s not good for the lifetime of the backlight. I contacted support again and no response. Disappointed with my purchase.

Doesn’t work properly. If you have a newer phone or update your phones to the newest IOS don’t bother with this app. Seems to be the developers don’t update the app enough for new devices or software to work. Whenever you lock your phone, even with the app in the foreground and phone on sound, (although I’d prefer my phone to be on vibrate when I sleep) the alarm won’t sound.

Please support iphone X. Please support iphone X

Crashing. It crashes before I could even open it, could I possibly get a refund?

Pretty darn good. Works very well. I'm notorious for oversleeping and this app has helped huge.

She's funny. The app is really cool and the noises she makes are really annoying and definitely wake you up but I don't like how you can't lock your screen if you want it to actually go off. Please fix that.

Amusing Alarm. This alarm brings the irritation of waking up but brings a little sense of success when you beat her chores. The one thing that would be nice in update is being able to have the alarm in horizontal view and not always vertical.

It would be great…. It would be great if it actually made noise in the morning, but it doesn’t… it seems that it doesn’t work properly on iOS 11

My backup alarm. This is the perfect app for those who, like me, are afraid of snoozing through every single alarm unconsciously. It is brutal, but it worked. At least, for me.

Major Flaw. I really want to like this app. When it actually works, it is very effective. However, the alarm was only actually going off about 25% of the time. I contacted app support and was told that in order for it to work I would need to leave the app open and the screen unlocked all night. I am not willing to trust an alarm I can't set and forget. Having to remember to leave the app open and change my device settings every night (in order to leave the screen unlocked) is a deal breaker, not to mention a huge security risk.

Great concept, taken a bit too far.. Paid $4 for app... Can't use many features or obtain certain bonuses until I level up first. Want to have the $4 app remind you to turn it on before bed? Nope, gotta wait until you're level three first. Want the $4 alarm to vibrate your phone as well? Noooope. Gotta be level 8 first. Heck, I had to google how to access the menu/settings because apparently Carrot doesn't even 'reward' you with this information until you're level two. I loved the Carrot weather app, so I thought this one would be an instant win... But I haven't even used this to wake me up yet and it's already frustrated me. The weather app impresses me because while it had this awesome, sarcastic, evil robot at the helm, it still offers every feature that a solid weather app needs. This alarm, however... particularly for a paid app, seems to be a bit too much. I can't seem to do basic things that my current alarm let's me do like choose a consistent tume to wake up to, and other basic things are locked behind a 'reward' system. Don't get me wrong, many of the unlockables seem to fit well, but many should not be blocked in a paid app. Will give it a solid shot anyways since my money is gone. Who knows, maybe this initial frustration will wear off and it'll become a new favourite. I have a feeling I'm going to be back to my tried and true favourite pretty quick with this one though :-(

Amazing meatbag. Funny and effective app. I have never had a problem waking up with my alarm. The little chores are fun to wake up to. Great app.

Go away. Basically it's just annoying and to use settings you have to advance through its levels of progress.

Clever app to wake up. A perfect app that forces you to look at a bright screen, waking you up for some simple chores. I've never been so awake!

Carrot. Great app

DON'T SLEEP IN.. I liked the todo list app, so I gave this a shot. It's great. It stops you from both sleeping in (getting angry and stuff) and falling asleep again (daily chores). This is the most useful app I have ever downloaded!!

Carrot, you naughty. I like this App, really do. I get the dark humour part, but felt that the comment this morning was not appropriate: "every time you push snooze I will kill a kitten". Just disturbing....

This is no ordinary Alarm Clock!. I love it!, AI is great all around smooth amazing App!, amazing Job! May I addi just started this morning & I'm hooked!

Great app. As someone who feels like I am trying to wake up from being anesthetized every morning, this is the ONLY alarm that will get me past the initial "make the noise stop" into a more aware mode. Fantastic app for heavy sleepers. Criticisms: you should be able to adjust the time to 5 minute increments upon purchasing. Not impressed that you had to work through levels to achieve such a rudimentary feature. Also - it would be helpful if you could add a chore or two to the list. And ultimately - it would be RAD if you could add your own voice for a final note! Like a reminder to self why you were really wanting to do something at such an ungodly hour.

Effective!. It's meant to be an irritating that will get you out of bed and it does just that! I like how the alarm sounds change every so often as do the activities you must complete. I really dislike the voice and the start up spuds/voice.

She's a Keeper. I get used to _any_ alarm clock every few weeks & it no longer wakes me so I change alarm systems frequently. Not so with Carrot! I get almost 6 weeks of waking up on schedule thanks to her nagging voice, her morning chores and the fear of her retaliation! She's just like Mom, lol. Thanks! :)

Great app!. You have to perform a series of small tasks when your alarm goes off. It definitely wakes you up and keeps you up. I haven't slept in yet.

Who cares about getting to work on time?. Apparently not me. If I really cared about getting up and going on time I would've downloaded a better app. You know, like the other alarm clock apps that actually go off when they've been set to go off. I was excited because this app seemed fun, a way to make mornings a little bit more lighthearted. The first two days this alarm actually worked. The third day, different story. There won't be a fourth day.

Best alarm ever. I love you Carrot!. I have all carrot apps weather and Aron clock are my tops. I love to sleep and I love how carrot wakes you up talking with cool techno music then do chores. One thing I ask is to make the wake up music louder so I don’t lose points. I’m a deep sleeper due to medication. Other then that this app is fire and on point. Love it!

Best Alarm Ever!!!. This alarm put me in morning boot camp! I had so much trouble getting up in the morning, to the point where I was missing a lot of class. This alarm helped me so much!!!

Has issues. I like falling asleep to music but I can't have music from iTunes or another app playing and trust Carrot to go off. Also, the 'chores' for disengaging the alarm now require reading and word scrambles... That means I have to find and put on my glasses first. Some of the comments are funny which is why I still use it, but things like "cut off prisoner's pinky toe" - it is just gross I will be searching for a new app if I level up much farther and it keeps getting more complicated.

Amazing and hilarious app.. Just got this app 10 minutes ago and it is already making me laugh so hard in bed. Voice is hilarious and teasing.

Great alarm but I wish it did more. Perhaps I just haven't unlocked it, but I wish CARROT had the ability to create a timer and stopwatch like on the Apple clock. Its the only thing that keeps me from fully moving over to carrot.

Great App. I have always had a hard time waking up in the morning because most alarms couldn’t fully wake me up. This is one of the only alarms I have ever had that actually fully wakes me up in the morning.

Cool idea. I bought this app because it looked like it would help but i don't like that it has to be running in the background. I close my apps subconsciously all the time. This morning I didn't wake up. I also would want multiple alarms and alarms during the same day. Unless there already there and I just don't know how to use it. The interface is kind of confusing.

Fix the foreground lock limitation and it’s golden.. I’m sorry, Carrot. I’m just too unreliable and stupid to remember to leave it open in the foreground. Most of the time I fall asleep amusing myself with some match-3 game or watching other meatbags sterilize themselves while trying to do stupid stunts or just staring at the pretty lights on the screen and wishing I knew how magnets worked. Please don’t kill me.

You WILL wake up!. Carrot is a sadistic task mistress who will make you wake up in a hurry, especially if you value your sanity. Make sure you experiment with her BEFORE your first use or you may find yourself with a long list of chores to finish - should you decide (in your innocent ignorance) to snooze instead of wake.

Somewhat amusing. Been using this. Somewhat amusing. Reminds me of a Euchre game I used to play where you could set the personality of you computer opponents. So I make that suggestion to the developers. How about one of the rewards being able to set personality? Setting to sickly sweet or ultra religious (like SNL's Church Lady), or even like the Terminator - like Waz did recently - as movie tie-in - could be fun. Variety is the spice of life! Update - still using.

I really like it (one issue). I love the concept of this. Getting out of bed and not snoozing has been a big struggle for me. The issue I have is that it's not very intuitive to use. The first few days were great. But I'm a heavy sleeper and started sleeping thru it and not hearing the alarm at all. I had to go thru the app support FAQ to figure out how to turn up the volume on the app.

Broken. This app used to work great, but lately it’s become extremely unreliable. Some days it works and others I wake up to more than a dozen angry notifications about sleeping in when the alarm never even went off. This morning I just happened to be awake when it was time for the alarm to go off and all it did was beep at me four minutes late with 11 notifications. Until it gets fixed, I can’t use it. 🙁

Unreliable. The first morning It worked fine and woke me up. The last three it made very little noise if any at all and didn't wake me up. I double checked that my phone wasn't on silent and both my regular and alert volumes were all the way up and the app volume is at 100%. There's definitely just something wrong with the app. Fortunately I've been setting my normal iPhone alarms for 15 min later and those have been getting me up no problem. I'll keep trying this and update my review if they fix it because I like the idea of it.

One alarm clock to rule them all.. Every time someone complains about their alarm clock, I show them CARROT. It's the perfect alarm clock app for your enemies and friends alike! My only issue used to be that you can't lock the screen and have your custom alarm wake you, BUT this was fixed in the newest update! Get this app and All Hail Our CARROT Overlord!

Absolutely hilarious & oddly motivating!. I just downloaded the entire bundle & its awesome! I laugh even harder with each app & ive already completed some tasks that I've been putting off forever! I also just did a 7-minute workout! Absolutely hilarious! Great buy :D

Annoyingly well done. Precisely what I needed to wake up in the morning. It's obnoxious and sporadic. The controls are nice and clean. The only thing I absolutely hate is having to earn reminders or schedules. I just paid you for a darn alarm clock, I shouldn't have to earn reminding myself to set it tomorrow. That is not cute.

Pretty good!. I really like this app already and I just downloaded it. My only problem would be that you have to unlock levels for it to repeat your alarm daily and other things that would be very convenient. Other than that it is very helpful for sure:)

Wish it was a desktop clock/alarm. Love Carrot. This is an effective alarm clock. I wish it combined with the weather app that could stay on as a persistent desktop clock app. Better yet! Voice activated Siri replacement!!! Take over the world Carrot!!

Best. This is one of the best alarm apps I have ever used if your like me and are usually one that hits snooze after the first alarm this will help wake you up with small tasks to wake your brain up

Disappointed. As a huge fan of the Carrot Weather app and the developer’s frequent updates, I decided to ignore the negative reviews and purchase this app. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t work. I’ve tried it three days in a row, with the sound on, the alarm set, and the app left open, and each day it has flooded me with the same stream of notifications and not made a single sound. Hoping for an update soon...

No sound!. I thought that I would get a kick out of this alarm app, but twice in the first week it has failed to make any noise when it was supposed to go off. Both times I had followed instructions and left it in the foreground, and both times the screen filled up with notifications but didn't make a sound, and the app crashed when I tried to open it. I wish I hadn't spent the money.

Actually wakes me up. Before this app, all I did was snooze for about 40 minutes every morning. Now I'm up. The simple chores force your brain to react and then once it's off, there's no snooze! Thanks to Carrot for ensuring my alarms go off even in DnD mode! Now, just add some unlockables above level 100(level 127 now and still going). Love this app!!!!

Garbage. This app is completely garbage.. It has maybe woken me up once or twice and I have had it for about 5 months. It never goes off even if you have it off Do not Disturb and your volume all the way up. It just leave silent notifications. I have the default alarm on and the Carrot alarm. The default always goes on without a doubt. I just wanted something fun when I wake up and to make me get up, but it just lets you down. Is there a way to get your money back....? 👎🏼

Literally got fired.... I got this app after hearing and reading great things about it. Downloaded it, tested it, and made sure that I had it in the foreground when I locked my phone... Lo and behold, I wasn't awoken to the sounds of this alarm, but to the panic if me being late for work. The alarm hadn't even gone off at all. When I got to work, I was fired for being late. It's a nice app, but it caused me to lose my job.

Works well, as long as you leave phone charging all night. I have a long held habit of NOT leaving devices charging overnight, so I often forget, and whatever it does all night in background it drains battery and then: no alarm! If this was not an issue I would leave 5 stars because it's great at waking you up!

Need a divorce, FAST? Then this is the alarm clock for you!. Just ask satisfied customers, like my non-morning person wife of 20 years. Panic mode to shut off the alarm clock? NOPE! Swiping, silent switch, volume button...ALL disabled by this thing until you bow down to its demands. Attempt to dismiss it and it comes back with a new, more annoying alarm sound than the first. Trying to figure out how to "pinch" a screen when half awake wasn't easy. Thanks, guys! I'll be sending you my attorney bill. Seriously though, a panic button or command for angry spouses would be a useful enhancement. Think about it. *continues retrieving clothes from front lawn*

Could be 5 stars. I bought this app and love the idea and when it works. I would have a back up alarm set just in case. The few things I want to see fixed are the alarm not going off and making the alarm louder. It's an alarm app, it should be loud enough to wake someone up. Great idea just needs a few improvements.

Nice Concept.... All of these Carrot apps claim accessibility support for voiceover, however, I’m finding that this one is only about 20% accessible. Setting the alarm itself is a major chore, and don’t even attempt to turn it on without visual aid. Then there’s the alarm itself. It is literally impossible to do the tasks to make it shut up if you rely on voiceover. Unless and until accessibility support is added, I can’t give this app a good rating.

AMAZING. It has trained me to wake up and feel energized. Truly incredible, I use it on and off whenever I really have something important to wake up for I make sure I use it.

New update is AWESOME!!!. All the complaints about carrot wasting your battery and not allowing you to turn on do not disturb are GONE! Now you can leave the device locked and it will still go off. Love this update and the app, now is the time to get it.

Lame. Ineffective. Waste of money.. I purchased this app in hopes that it would be as good as it is being advertised as being. It doesn't work well. I have another app called Wake that is much more effective at waking me up. This app just talks and makes the sounds, but it's not as interactive as I would have hoped, and it's just a basic alarm clock that requires more work than what should really be necessary. I wouldn't buy this again if given the choice.

Nice little app. I really like this app a lot. I even find myself thinking "I need to level up so I better wake up before it starts getting mad"

Buggy. This is too buggy to use. The “sensual caress” chore stopped working. That was annoying, but I reported it to the developer so that he could fix it in the next version. The recurring “Wakey, Wakey” alarm went off this morning even though the alarm wasn’t turned on. I tried turning the alarm on and off to get it to shut up. I even tried turning off notifications, which also didn’t work. I finally had to uninstall the program completely to stop it. I will not be reinstalling it.

Super app for iPhone. CARROT (I should say Grailr) has done it again! Everyone needs an alarm clock and this one is guaranteed to send meatbags into shock (or at least palpitations).

Failed to work with silence switch. Bought app to seriously wake up in the morning and stop snoozing, and even though "working with the silence switch" is listed as a feature, it simply failed to work. Terrible first impression; will try again without switch and revisit this review. UPDATE: failed to work once again, do not recommend.

So I finally made it to the ultimate reward.... I am not sure how to rate this after soany years so I guess 5 stars simply because it has functioned. I think I would like to remove it now though.

Never worked. IOS-14, iPhone 11 Pro-Max. This alarm has never worked. Even leaving it open before going to bed. Why would I need to check to make sure the app is open before going to bed is beyond me. I work 16+ hours a day. Last thing I think about is making sure my alarm is open before going to bed. And seeing that is has never worked, this is a waste of money.

Works for me!. I have developed the bad habit of subconsciously pressing the snooze button on my iPhone alarm without even waking up fully. This app prevents me from doing so. It also provides witty, entertaining dialogue that reminds me of GLaDOS from the Portal franchise. Alarm clock apps aren't often described as "fun," but this one fits into that category.

Finally an alarm that I wake up to. Finally I get up and actually hear my alarm. I have tried almost everything but I sleep through it. This is the first time i hear and realize that it is time to get up and start my day.

Didn't like at first. I hate getting up so the harshness of this app at first made this very much not love at first site but it works well and it grew on me especially after I was able unlock more levels.

NEEDS AN UPDATE!! NOT WORTH $3. It’s been SEVEN (7) YEARS since the last update…. It states you can use in silent mode- tested it out and it vibrates once per notification. Even when sound is on it dings for a second then stops- it’s not continuous or annoying until you open the app. There’s no chance it will wake you if you’re a hard sleeper like myself… VERY DISAPPOINTED

Great Alarm. Although I don't currently use this as my daily wake up alarm clock I do use it as a reminder alarm clock. It serves this purpose well. Where I may miss the calendar notification or a medication reminder Carrot does the trick in a funny and annoying way.

You killed CARROT² with iOS12 update!?!. I used to LOVE this alarm. I’m at level 199 and had her for almost 5 years. I use this alarm everyday to wake me up for work. But with the newest update HAL is horrible and I can’t wake up now. It’s impossible and boring and I oversleep. Please bring Her voice back! It’s the only alarm that actually wakes me up. Btw- I barely write reviews for apps. I’ll give you 5 stars when she’s back. Until I dunno what I’m gonna do about an alarm..

Help!!!. I bought your app thinking it would be a life saver. I set multiple alarms normally and while yours wakes me up there's NO backup. This morning I was an hour late because I completed the challenges and promptly fell asleep again. Sure I leveled up but I was still late. There needs to be improvement. Maybe consider requiring accelerometer movement for a period after the alarm is disabled to show the user is out of bed....kind of upset at the moment. Please update

Please update for Iphone X and up support.. I LOVE the app, but my one problem with it, is it feels a little outdated. With the new iPhones, the app doesn’t fit to the screen, which leaves these big clunky black boarders in the app. I would love to see this app refreshed and updated because it is GOLDEN, and I love it, just outdated.

I love my alarm. I have been using this alarm for the past 3 years and I have never had anything but good things to say about it. Until this morning when the voice was different. Why dose Carrot sound like a man now?

Only a snooze or wake up button. I used this for one night and it never required me to shake, pinch, or do anything special to try and wake up. It only gave me a “snooze” or “wake up” option. To which, of course, I snoozed :) Not sure if there is anything I need to do within the app to make sure it’s more interactive?

Annoyingly, sarcastically perfect. I have used CARROT To-Do for years. I added the alarm for the days I worry I'll ignore my other ones. I hate the things I have to do to shut up the alarm which is perfect as my brain fog clears! I'd give it 5 stars but I hate typing in commands for things as I am a lazy human

I want my records back. CARROT still awesome (she coerced me to say that). Haven't had any of the problems other users are reporting. Still works as expected on latest IOS update. Pro tip: don't hit snooze.
