Exactly what I was looking for, no unnecessary bells and whistles. I love the skip feature for one-offs. Great work! One feature suggestion would be to have a persistent notification that shows the next alarm and the adjust/skip buttons so I don't have to go looking for the app. UPDATE: Almost a year later, I still use this app every day! So perfect.

Installed and set up an alarm for a few minutes down the line to test it out, and so impressed! So intuitive to set up. No ads. No crazy permissions granting required. And best of all, integrated into my Pixel phone's default alarm clock in pull down notification shade area. So no need to juggle two different alarm functions on my phone. Wakening does it all. Just click from pull down shade area. Brilliant. And free! Developer is responsive and accountable and cares too. Don't see that often.

I really like this app, but there is one thing that would make it so much easier to use. Instead of sending a notification of the alarm when the phone is in use, please just have the alarm itself appear! I have to set several alarm reminders for my medications (I love this alarm for the color change visuals), so being able to just press one button during inconvenient times instead of fumbling around with the notification would prevent much frustration. Thank you!

As we discussed by email, some older apps still pop their screens over other apps, but this is no longer allowed. And some alarm clock messages that popup are just large notifications. I've increased the size of the Wakening notification, so it should be more visible and easier to interact with, so I hope that helps!
