Wake N Shake Alarm Clock App Reviews

This is an ingenious alarm clock app. You cant snooze and you have to complete the task before the alarm will turn off. When youre done you are awake and ready to kick butt! Most apps are all promise with very mediocre delivery, but this one delivers!

Works well enough I wake up some but having a shake "rounds" option would do the trick. Having to reach 100% multiple times to shut it off.

Its the only way to really wake up, whether youre ready or not.

Like the idea, if the app functioned as stated. The App says to have it in the foreground and open to work. I did just that and the alarm sent a tiny push notification, not the full alarm. Didnt wake up on time because of this. Also the interface was confusing and did not follow common conventions.

I got this app 3 years ago and its worked ever since but lately it hasnt been waking me up and I tested it out to find out it turns the ringer and audio low so I can barely hear it

This is the app Ive been looking for! Ive used it for a week now and its worked flawlessly. Its a great happy medium between regular alarms (actually, even those "smart" alarm clock apps didnt work for me) where you can hit the snooze button and those other crazy alarms that require taking pictures of things to turn it off. The alarm goes off (I use the Drill Seargant sound), I shake the thing and Im up. The "nap" feature is awesome too...if I want to just close my eyes for 20 mins, I dont have to setup a whole new alarm.

I initially wrote a 1 star review for this app because I couldnt get it to work properly. I thought I set it correctly the first night but my phone was still on silent, so nothing happened. Second night I made sure the volume was up but I only received push notifications instead of the alarm going off, so I overslept by 2 hours. The third night I set other alarms and decided to give this one last chance as a backup and Im very glad I did! The key to using the app is that you have to have it up on your screen, then you can put the phone in sleep mode (hit the power button). The alarm went off on time, vibrating, strobe light on and music up just like I was hoping for. I would have given it a higher rating but I basically had to figure this out on my own - theres a quick instruction screen when you first use the app but once you hit ok you cant access it again. I couldnt find any troubleshooting or faq info on the developers website either. It has a ton of potential but they have got to give better instructions!

Still my go to wake up app, but since iOS 10 it stopped working properly. If you leave it open it should stay open and go off in the am. Now it crashes overnight and sends alerts on your lock screen but you have to open the app again to shake it off. If you accidentally leave your phone on vibrate youre screwed, unless youre a light sleeper – and if you are, you dont need this app.

The app used to work fine and I used it all the time. Now its useless. Anytime I try to change the time of the alarm, the screen blacks out and when it doesnt, I still cant change the time. Its incredibly frustrating. If Im lucky, it only takes 10 minutes to update the alarm. Screw this worthless crap. They need to fix it.

***note: the App Store has a developer note that a fix is coming out for the "scroll issue," which is (I assume) the bug that made it impossible to set alarms. I look forward to that happening, so take that in consideration. I still cant recommend it until it is fixed, however.**** Its a great concept and when it used to work it was awesome. They almost completely lost my support when they added in-app purchases when Id already bought the app and had all its features, only to have what I paid for taken away. Now there are several issues that make it UNUSABLE and FRUSTRATING. 1. Almost impossible to change alarm times, cant touch minutes without closing the alarm edit and sometimes touching and trying to change hour immediately closes the alarm edit. Most frustrating, makes it unusable as an alarm clock. 2. Some great wake-up sounds were removed (why?) from the app after its big "overhaul." 3. Some issues with with the alarm not sounding properly at the alarm times. If this apps issues are fixed, Ill happily re-download and re-review it. I liked it when it worked but now its screwed up.

The sounds are back, and it runs smoother than ever. And I can make my own sounds! Thee best alarm app I have ever used, no drawbacks that Ive found so far, well worth my money

Im SO happy that the multi-alarms are back!

Now dont get me wring when U say this but this app has been giving me trouble with my new iPhone 6. The shake feature isnt working so I cant seem to turn the alarm off. Its annoying, yet I used this app EVERY MORNING on my previous iPhone 4s and it worked great and it was PERFECT!! I love it!! Great app, but if this shaking problem could be fixed on my new phone that would be great!! Now that may be my problem if something in my settings is off but otherwise it isnt working properly, but still my favorite alarm app!!!! Best one out there!!

Loved this on my iPhone 4, but it doesnt work on my new phone.

Great concept, just doesnt seem to work. Needs an update!!!

But keeps asking me to turn on cellular data. I sleep at home with wifi. You dont cellular data, so stop asking.

Good source of exercise to start off a day with. However, I cant change the volume on it other than changing the volume on my whole phone. and with that, it is not very loud at all. How about adding some extra volume controls to the app

I love this app but same for me, it worked wonders on my iPhone 4s but ever since the 6 the volume is weird. I can exit the app and just close it and the shake doesnt seem to be as responsive please fix! Thats would be amazing!

Same problem as another user wrote: worked great on my iPhone 4, just got a 5S & no matter how much I shake, it doesnt work. I get up to like 12% sometimes but I never had problems getting it to 100% every morning on my 4 & it would then shut off.

Volume is down on 1 bar and i cant turn it up. The volume display comes up, but when pushing up or down on volume keys, it kinda blinks the next bar but thats it. Wont change volume. Also, if you just hit home button in your sleep when alarm goes off, it shuts off.....kinda defeats purpose of app.
