Pros and cons of Alarm Clock - ZenAwake app for iPhone and iPad

Alarm Clock - ZenAwake app good for

For all you snoozers out there, this is the alarm clock youve been waiting for. Itd be perfect if it had scheduling and if it could bypass ringers volume, but waking up early has never been So smooth.
Great! It wakes me up early in the morning and Im not the least bit tired or in a bad mood - Just feelin great and full of energy! :D 5/5, one of the most useful Apps I own!
A very nice and designed app that works awesome for me. It wakes me up peacefully with really calm and gentle sounds effects. There are a few different options for different sleepers, I like the Om one myself. It also has daily inspirational quotes as well. Worth downloading! 5 stars!
Ive been using this for a few days now and getting out of bed in the morning is no longer a draaaag. Soothing chimes to wake me out of a deep sleep rather than the default iPhone alarms is a pleasant addition to my sleep routine. Im a light sleeper so this wakes me up perfectly. AMAZING communication with the developer as well.
After many mornings of feeling extreme fatigue, even after 8 hours of sleep, I gave ZenAwake a try... Its currently the only alarm clock that I use! The "Golden Ratio" as described using the 10 minute interval is truly a wonder. No more buzzing or the sound of blaring music for an alarm clock, but instead, a perfect bland of harmony and acoustics. Overall, ZenAwake works exactly as described - wakes you up in a state of "Zen" ready to tackle the day ahead! The inspirational quotes to start the day are encouraging as well! ;)
Love the app, but needs an update! Only goes off half the time. Other than that, its a really stylish and sleek application!

Some bad moments

The alarm clock doesnt work properly. Although everything is set right it just doesnt go off. Thats poor!
What good is an alarm clock if youre not sure if it will go off 8/10 times? Bug fixes then maybe it would be good.
The volume adjustment slider has no effect on the alarm volume which is really too loud.
Chose to wake up to the zen ringtone and was jerked awaking by the loud gong noise it was horrible
I have tried using this alarm for weeks and it never works... Not sure if it doesnt work when the phone is on a docking station but it should. I was really looking forward to this but am very disappointed ...
I set the alarm for a time a few minutes into the future the alarm works. If I set it for 710 am it doesnt go off. Hasnt properly worked since purchase.
