Instant Wake Up - Alarm Clock

9 out of 10 times, this application is truly brilliant and is one of the few (free) mobile solutions I’ve found that are able to get hard sleepers like myself to get up. The app itself is easy to use, feature-rich, and has an interface with a great balance between cleanliness and customizability. I like it so much that I decided to pay to get the ad-free version of the app. However, I have had a couple of days where the application crashes in the middle of the night and is unable to work with any of my alarms, missions or not. Thank goodness I had set backup alarms in the stock iPhone Clock app and that these application failures were on days where I did not have work. That said, I am fearful to use this application as a standalone solution to “crushing” my sleep, so to say, given the fairly high risk for app failure and an interruption of the function of background mode for unknown reasons. So for now, I will have to resort to using it as more of an adjunct to the stock alarms until a future update (hopefully) reduces the frequency of crashes.
