★★★★ Vampris Rose 5/3/2026 v12.5.00.46
after having my phone for years this app stop working. the app wil automatically lower the volume of my alarms. i keep going into the settings to turn it up and well it lowers it self where i can't hear it. i had to download another clock app. i have contact support havent heard anything from them. i almost lose my job and honestly this aint the first phone i had that this clock app automatically stop working and damn near having to force me to buy a new phone.
★★★★ Smiths 5/2/2026
was still installed even tho not compatible, reported this app
★★★★ Darla Guarderas 5/2/2026
when I first got the phone (yrs ago), I used the Clock ⏰️ worked great. Then it started acting up, ringer wouldn't go off, set the timer when too wake up, or the snooze, the volume would be up, nothing, i'd be waking 😴 up late. and I've been trying for yrs now to uninstall, and it just keep installing right back. uuuugggghhhh not satisfied 😒
★★★★ Yasar Kaldane 5/2/2026
very cheap not working on time to alarm
★★★★ Emily Freeman 4/30/2026 v12.4.10.10
it won't go away
★★★★ Tracy Sutter 4/30/2026
All of a sudden No warning it stopped working and I missed several important events. Went to try updating ad it says this app is no longer compatible/supported on device. I have a Samsung galaxy s10
★★★★ jp 4/30/2026 v12.5.00.46
timer paused itself while running making the point of a timer useless
★★★★ Sandor Bagoly 4/29/2026 v12.3.00.30
minimizes on presses for no apparent reason.
★★★★ Kaylana Dragmire 4/29/2026
it doesn't always have sound! sometimes it will go off, but it's silent! sometimes it happens after I snooze it! I have dry eye and my eyes burn in the morning so I have to hit snooze in case I fall back asleep, but then it goes off again, but without sound and when I do fall back asleep I oversleep!!! very inconvenient!!!
★★★★ Robert Gary 4/29/2026 v12.2.15.12
can't Delete and it's incompatible
★★★★ There's No m In Sandwich 4/28/2026 v12.2.15.12
TOTAL FAIL on snooze evey single time! USELESS BLOATWARE. NO SETTINGS OR OPTIONS CONFIGURATION WILL HELP THIS APP.
★★★★ Dylan Jones 4/28/2026 v12.5.00.46
No matter what I adjust, alarms are super quiet when I'm on a call. I really like to sleep call with my girl who lives an hour away. It feels like there's no workaround for this at all. They really need to fix this annoying issue. only solution i found was downloading another alarm app.
★★★★ Paula Knight 4/28/2026
I have to open ap in playstore since the ap is no longer on my phone but clearly the alarm for my Samsung phone. how do I re download ap to my phone?
★★★★ Fabrizzio 4/27/2026 v12.4.10.10
failed to do it's basic function, a LOT of the times the alarms don't go off. No notification of missed alarms so It's not me sleeping through them
★★★★ Cimona Dsouza 4/26/2026
y is my clock not showing on the display
★★★★ Emi MagRan 4/24/2026 v12.5.00.46
I can't even begin to imagine how one of the biggest tech companies manages to make the shoddiest clock app on the market. I wouldn't even ship this out as a joke.
★★★★ Mardi Singleton 4/24/2026 v12.2.15.12
The app is now suddenly incompatible with my device, and the alarm didn't go off. I ended up missing an entire 4.5 hour shift because of this.
★★★★ Ian Loya 4/23/2026 v12.5.00.46
Alarm randomly doesn't go off. 👎🏻
★★★★ Jodie Martin 4/23/2026
I SHOULD BE ABLE to uninstall this app if it's not compatible with the phone I have now!! Not possible no option.
★★★★ Karilyn Putt 4/22/2026 v12.3.21.3
sucks. with this past update you now have to leave location on for the time to be correct, which drains your battery. Please change it back!
★★★★ Patricia Morgan 4/22/2026 v12.3.21.3
my time on my cell is 4 minutes ahead which is so annoying
★★★★ James Vick 4/22/2026
Alarm shuts off after one minute, that is even if it goes off. Half the time it doesn't even set an alarm off and just gives a missed alarm notification instead of going again.
★★★★ Lin E 4/21/2026 v12.5.00.46
I rarely need to use an alarm and this one worked fine for about a year, but for some reason it has occasionally started going off on it's own. And I can't delete my sleep routine that I don't use either, which decided to wake me up just now at 3:00 a.m. Very annoying. I'm uninstalling this app. Now I need to find a new, free alarm clock, one without handing over anything I regard a private, and doesn't make you listen to ads you can't turn off. Ugh!!!
★★★★★ Deepti Prajapati 5/8/2026
bad app
★★★★★ IMRAN KHAN. 5/6/2026 v12.3.21.3
This app is not displaying on my screen
★★★★★ Cynthia Afrifa 5/4/2026
Remove the background colour, that black or white and leave the number only. that would make the screen more visible and beautiful.
★★★★★ Catalin Calistru 4/30/2026 v12.3.21.3

★★★★★ Sadiya Altaf 4/30/2026 v12.3.21.3
good
★★★★★ Isabelle 4/29/2026
Still not able to choose to set an alarm every odd week or different intervals which is very annoying!!
★★★★★ nik t 4/27/2026
The app is functuonal but no longer showing as an app therefore, I cannot get alarm notifications on my samsung watch. Not sure what happened but it is a feature I very much needed.
★★★★★ Brandi Hinds 4/27/2026 v12.2.15.12
This clock worked well for me for years and now suddenly the past two weeks my alarms have not been going off while on silent. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, checked all settings to make sure the sound will come through on mute, and still it only vibrates. It only seems to work when I set a new alarm everyday(sometimes)not just having it continuously set. I need to find another clock now because this jist isn't reliable anymore.
★★★★★ Gala 4/26/2026 v12.2.12.7
I hate how I can't make widget backgrounds white or black. Why are forced to only have blue widgets :/
