Great app but pay VERY careful attention to directions

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!
