Walk Up Alarm Clock - smart anti snooze wake up App Reviews

This app sounded amazing. I have the worst time getting up in the morning and thought this would help. It didnt even go off!!! Ok,I take brag back, it did when I opened the app to try to see why it didnt go off. Good thing I set a back up alarm for 5 minutes later. I hate that I spent .99 on this app to use my music and the notifications... SHUT UP. I dont need a full 2 minutes of repeated notifications telling me Im "cheating myself. Tsk tsk tsk. I dont want the app running in the background all day sucking my battery life. Will be deleting this app. And that makes me sad because I really was hoping this would work.

The only free alarms are woman screaming, and man screaming. Who wants to wake up to that?! No one.

Dont you ever want to sleep in? Maybe on the weekends? Well, this alarm will not let you. Id LOVE to it, 5 stars level, if you could turn it off. If you try it literally sends you notifications every second. I just had to uninstall because it was taking over my phone. It works great as an alarm, but please let us have the weekends off!

A lot of people are complaining but the screaming wakes me up and I love how you cant shake it and count steps because if you could I would shake and go back to bed this forces me to get up and its exactly what I needed!

This changed my life until I figured out that I could simply delete the app and re download it to turn off the alarm. I like that you can choose the amount of steps, and while others may not enjoy it (my friends thought I was crazy when I told them about the app) I like the screaming because it gets me up. The only thing I think they should add is an option (again, option) to restrict leaving the app until the alarm turns off so the option to delete the app or close it is no longer an option. Because I always tell myself I wont do it, but well do anything when we want sleep.

What I hate most about the Walk Me Up app is that I have yet to find ANY way to control the volume. I am unhappy waking up every day to this blood curdling scream that only plays for max volume. Although this wakes me up, it also wakes up others in the house who would wish to sleep. I also cant stand the notifications you receive if you delete your app history shortly before the alarm is meant to go off. Constant vibration with the words "Youve only cheated yourself" is very annoying and unpleasant. I literally had to go to Settings and turn off my notifications from this app. Then when I went to use this app the next day (without ever disabling the alarm, just the notifications), this horrendous app made me walk 30 steps and as always did not stop screaming until I completed it. In conclusion, this app is super annoying and desperately needs some serious improvement.

The idea of this is great until you realize after you download it is that you have 2 options a man or woman screaming bloody murder unless you pay..... Waste of space

I purchased to play music for the alarm. There is no volume adjustment when the alarm goes off. This app should be banned from Apple searches it so horrendous!

Awesome concept. Bad execution. Once you actually get into the app the only available alarm sounds are a man scream or a woman scream that are so quiet Id never hear them. If you want different tones you have to buy them. I deleted it 2 minutes after I downloaded it.

Hate the screaming hate the horrible space theme and the horribly annoying t Telling. The screams are so stupid.

The app is a great idea - and effective - it was just poorly done. The guy screaming, the no volume control, you cant shut it off, you cant close the app without it forcing you to reopen it an the it goes off all over again, you cant turn it off for a day (its always on). Its so loud and annoying it wakes up MY NEIGHBORS, and the two days I used it it made me stressed and miserable. Tips for the company: allow other sounds, volume control, the ability to turn the alarm off for a day, and avoid push notifications.

I do not like waking up to a bunch of murder screams

But it is absolutely the worst sound to wake up to, extremely too loud, and only has a selection of other horror/Halloween sounds to wake up too. Less, "Im going to kill you in the morning," and more of a productive tool with some customization I would buy it out right - but this is... A good amount of overboard. There are some other ones out there just search wake and shake.

Love the idea, but Im not going to pay 1 cent, less 1 dollar, to enable a decent wake up sound. Good tech idea, bad business idea.

This app is great for getting me out of bed. It does an excellent job at that. The blood curdling scream makes my wife want to "punch me in the throat" so thats added incentive to get up. The only HUGE drawback Ive experienced is that this app drains my phone battery (iPhone 6+). When I check battery usage it used 56% of my battery today out of all battery usage and Im usually down to 20% or less by lunchtime. This requires me remembering to kill the app manually after I get up. It would also be nice to have it remind you to "save" your alarm if you forget to hit save. Ive done that a couple times and thank god I woke up on time. But it could have been much worse. Other than that if youre a lazy sleeper like I am and hit the snooze button constantly this is the best app to get your butt out of bed. Improve the battery usage and its a good solid 4.5-5 stars for me. Thanks for getting me to the airport on time numerous occasions! Just keep making it better!

If I could describe this app in a small phrase, it would be "simply awful." I was delighted to see that the app was free, but this is facade for several fees to come. What you already know is that you need to pay for your own music, and you probably know that the music doesnt work. But what you dont know is that it doesnt allow you to choose any of your alarm tones! So if I want to wake up to the iPhones marimba or something similar, Im not allowed to do that on the app. If I have a funny ringtone or custom jingle, Im not allowed to use that in the app. And if you exit out of this "lifesaver," it sends you constant nagging alerts, which means that I cant go into power saving mode and my phone is always burning juice! I was one of the poor suckers who got this app thinking it was great. If there are some serious updates, it might be great someday, but as for right now, I wouldnt even look at this app unless you like to wake up to bloody murder and love having a phone with no battery. DO NOT GET!

This app is not worth it!! Sure it wakes you up, but do you really want to be woken up but a horrible scream of a man/woman?! Not only does it scream until you finish the steps, but it plays on full volume and you cant turn it down! You cant do any other sounds beside screaming because you have to pay for them, and as for the steps you have to take, you have to walk like a giant to complete them and if you dont you end up doing 60 steps! Not how I want to wake up in the morning! ✋?✋?✋?✋?

Of all the alarm apps available that I know of, I prefer this one. The walking feature gets you up and moving, you can program up to 100 steps, and there is really no way for my sleep-muddled brain to disable it before I have a chance to get up, which had been a problem for me. Effective. This app still needs some serious work. Judging from the date the app was last upgraded, I question whether that will ever happen. Unless you pay for the in-app purchases, your only alarm choice is a screaming person - and thats not cool. My partner has an anxiety problem and Im afraid the alarm could negatively affect him (although he assures me its not a problem as long as I leave the room immediately). Its also embarrassing because its loud enough for the neighbors to hear in the next apartment. I can cope with the alarm but Im sure there are people out there who would have serious issues with it. Second, the sheer number of in-app purchases leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also had an issue when I set the alarm in "repeat" mode - since you cant disable the app once the alarm is set, I could never shut the app off and it was a major drain on my battery. If you use this app, I recommend you do NOT use "repeat" mode.

I was so pumped for this app, I thought "wow what an ingenious idea! It makes you walk away fro the bed to assure awakening." I am glad that I put this through a test run at 11:53pm before I was going to spontaneously set it for 5am and see what happens. I am happy I didnt because what would have happened is I would have wet the bed and probably have a heart attack. I was aware that the tone was going to be a scream, but FULL VOLUME?!?!!? Are you serious??? My test run consisted of me Frantically grabbing my phone, holding my hand over the speaker as hard as I could, running around the house heart beating out of my chest, praying my ill brother upstairs would hear and be awakened from his slumber......

Normally I love this app. Not much can wake me, and I used to turn off my other alarms while asleep. I never buy things in apps, but $0.99 to play my own songs instead of having screams of bloody murder ringing through my dorms sounded fine to me. For over a year, its been doing its job perfectly (albeit "perfectly" is incredibly obnoxious when I turn on the app at midnight to set the alarm and have to walk 30 steps with a blanket around my hand to muffle the noise). But every time my phone dies, I have a heart attack because the app makes a loud noise it scold me for trying to escape. Again, I try to avoid my phone dying. But today I noticed that 30% of my phones battery went into 2 minutes of the app being open and 11.5 HOURS of background activity. Fine, Ill risked taking 30 steps and close the app in the background. Then my phone starts buzzing every 5-10seconds to scold me for "cheating myself". The only way to stop it is to open it up again. I try not to complain about how the phone prevents me from turning it off while Im asleep, but my battery is gone! Over the past 6 days, its been on my scream for 12 minutes and in the background for 92.5 hours and used 34% of my total battery. Thats the most battery usage out of any app I have, including games and Facebook.
