This is one of the first applications I paid for when I got my iPhone 4 last year. When I got it, it worked great. I used it every morning to wake up. However, when it came time to update my OS to 5.0, this application became useless.
If you have OS5.0 or up, do not download this application. I have contacted their support team repeatedly. I have never gotten a response, and they have never fixed the issue. The problem here is that the alarm can not force the phone out of sleep/lock mode. Which is what you would need it to do. Unless you want your phone to be eating up batteries in active mode all night just to use this alarm. If your phone is locked (Sleep mode) the alarm will not go off until you slide the lock bar and turn the phone back to active mode.
Now, I do not know if this still works correctly for Android users. So if you use Android, you'll have to find out if this is glitched for you guys or not. My reviews are just for the Apple versions of these applications.
It's only fair to give you some info on how this worked before it got glitched from the OS update. So here we go...
Once it loads up you see an animated little Rilakkuma and Korilakkuma sitting on a clock. They sort of bob up and down. You can then set an alarm. You choose the time the alarm goes off, whether you want snooze on or not and how often that alarm should go off (Daily, only'y on Tuesdays, etc). So it basically works the same as the pre-installed alarm application. The difference being that it's far cuter.
You can edit, remove or add new alarms. I believe 5 alarms is the limit.
You can use the default alarm sound or choose an MP3 from your device to use as the alarm. That is what you will hear, when it's time to wake up.
When you turn an alarm on, the tiny teddy bears go to sleep in their basket above the clock. Just before it's time for the alarm to go off, they shift around a bit. Then at wake up time, Korilakkuma jumps on Rilakkuma's back to wake him up, as the default beep or MP3 you've chosen goes off in the background.
When this worked, I loved it. As I said, I used it constantly. However, as it no longer works correctly with the new OS, and they refuse to update it... I have no choice but to give this a rather low rating.
You 'can' use this for short term alarms. Say a 5 minute timer or what not. As long as it's short enough that your phone wont turn to sleep mode before it's time for said alarm to go off. Otherwise, I wouldn't waste your money. Maybe if it were a free application.
To be honest I think any application that hasn't been updated in a over a year should become free. It's obviously been abandon. Sadly this company has a habit of doing that with these applications. So always read the reviews before purchasing!
