Reviews: What People Think About Kiwake: smart alarm clock

Rating: 3/5
This app really does work, I love the concept so much, and its not the worst purchase Ive ever made, but its definitely so buggy. Sometimes it doesn't actually go off in the morning which is important. You have to open the app separately to turn off the alarm in the morning, it doesn't just come up. One time the alarm was ringing and I couldn't get the app to let me complete the steps to turn it off because it kept crashing when I was trying to open the app. So it just kept ringing until I restarted my phone. Also, sometimes taking photos of random things works to shut the alarm off even if it isn't your designated photo, it'll register as a match after a few tries, which has decreased its power as a motivator for me significantly. I was just trying to adjust the sound after it didnt ring yesterday morning and the loudest on the scale isnt loud, then the middle is loud, and mute end is loud. Basically, The sound settings have some bugs. Would love to interact with the motivational phrase section more rather than just click through. I think the photo is the most crucial part, but you could also just set your alarm clock across the room and that would force you up. Overall love the concept and cant hate because it HAS worked better than anything else ive tried (including setting phone across room, Ruggie, etc) but its definitely needing an update

I’ve had the same experience as many of the other reviewers here. This app really does work to get me out of bed- when it works. Sometimes it just doesn’t go off - even when I have it open. Just to be sure, I also set the regular alarm feature on my phone.
At one point it quit working altogether, but when I deleted it and then re-installed it, that resolved the particular problems I was having at that time. Unfortunately, I can no longer change the order of the tasks. Getting up and taking the picture is always the first thing. I used to be able to order it so I did the game first. I prefer this, because it gets me mentally alert before I have to get out of bed
Since there are no responses to these many complaints, I gather that the developers are no longer interested in supporting this app. Too bad, because it’s a great concept!

I’ve relied on this alarm for YEARS, seriously the better part of a decade, I really love it. But there’s always ALWAYS some kind of glitch that can completely stop it from working on a given morning. Usually there’s some way I can work around it or they’ll release an update that fixes it. Finally got one I couldn’t figure out and decided it’s time to start looking at other apps, just so I can be sure I’m up for work in the morning. Oh, and the Feedback button is fake. Always has been. Usually it just crashes the app. I think once years ago I got as far as being able to type an email and the “Send” button just... wasn’t a button?? Seriously NOTHING happened it was like I didn’t even try to hit it, like it was just painted on. I also think I at least tried to look up their email address on their website once to send one manually and I either couldn’t find it or never got a response. I’m not having much luck with other apps but there always seems to be something that makes relying on this one risky, and I just can’t justify it anymore. I am incredibly sad to go but I don’t think I have a choice anymore. T-T

Let’s face it: regular alarms don’t work very well. You just hit the snooze button as many times as you can, then rush for the rest of your morning trying not to be late. What you really need is a coach that will help you build a strong morning routine, and that’s exactly what Kiwake is designed for.
Kiwake will drive you out of bed whether you want it or not! Like any good coach, it will give you a hard time if you don’t follow the rules, but also encourage you when you actually do. The more you stick to your routine, the less annoying it becomes.
HOW IT WORKS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Kiwake’s mission is to walk you through a brief but complete wake-up process to make sure you woke up:
1. Your Body, by standing up and leaving your bed.
2. Your Brain, by stimulating it and keeping it away from excuses you could find to go back to sleep.
3. Your Motivation, by reading your goals to start your day inspired.
Kiwake will request proof that you went through each of these steps:
■ Body wake-up: take a picture of an object far from your bed to prove you left it. This is an object that you already saved when you have set the alarm.
■ Brain wake-up: complete a quick mini-game that requires your full attention. Keeping your brain busy will stop it from finding excuses to go back to bed.
■ Motivation wake-up: read your main goals and give yourself an incredible motivation boost!
