CARROT Alarm - Talking Alarm Clock App Reviews

I kinda love all the carrot apps, but I also love finding messed up questions to ask Siri so clearly I am very easily amused, lolz, but when u find ur self bored out of your mind the carrot apps never fail to make me smile

Im revising what had been a poor review due to a couple of weeks when CARROT had inexplicably stopped working. At the time I was frustrated because I wasnt getting answers quickly enough, however I was on the impression that a corporation put out the app. It turns out its a very clever individual. The inventor is also the help desk and customer service rep. Those are a lot of hats to wear. Just as inexplicably, the app has started working again. Im not sure how this happened, but I am enjoying being being brutally awakened again. I think the bottom line here is that CARROT offers a unique and fun awakening experience, but it smart to keep a backup alarm on, just in case it runs into a snag.

Never ceases to entertain me or wake me up.

I love this little app! The idea that I must perform a series of tasks is ingenious. To just hit the alarm is no longer an option. "Are you still alive, meat head?"

Snarky and fun!

Edited my review from a four/five star love-rant to two for the new voice. Terrible and annoying; miss the old version. Would recommend replacing the current with the old or allowing selection between the two.

Great app

All of these Carrot apps claim accessibility support for voiceover, however, I’m finding that this one is only about 20% accessible. Setting the alarm itself is a major chore, and don’t even attempt to turn it on without visual aid. Then there’s the alarm itself. It is literally impossible to do the tasks to make it shut up if you rely on voiceover. Unless and until accessibility support is added, I can’t give this app a good rating.

This app is really nice for an alarm clock. It has changing, various music tracks to wake you up so its never too monotonous, it can get interactive just before you go to bed, and it really knows how to push your buttons when you dont push its. But it has some...flaws. Unless you leave the app open, the alarm just doesnt seem to work, as in it just never seems to go off. That presents the problem of not being able to actually wake you. The other thing is that it uses a leveling up to unlock things-system, which usually gets you like 100 points per wake up. But if you SNOOZE, it takes about 50 points away instead of adding any, which if youre a heavy sleeper, is a major issue. However I think you can farm points to level up by setting random alarms and then "waking up" to them to level up faster, or use it as a regular alarm system.

Makes everything so much more interesting! Love it!

I love the idea of this alarm clock, however, the implementation of it I find to be opposite of what I actually need. I need the app to make *hitting snooze* difficult. Once I actually am ready to get up, I just turn off the alarm on my way out of bed. This on the other hand makes me do exercises to turn it off. My issue is endless snoozing, and this alarm does not seem to mind the number of times I hit snooze, so it doesnt actually help me get up!

When it works, this alarm is terrific! You will wake up and its kind of fun and silly. Only complaint is that the app may crash/get killed overnight so I usually set a backup.

It can help that kind of people who have a heavy sleep to wake up

Love this app

Im a hard person to get out of bed and this app is great at helping

It NEVER occurred to me that I could be fond of an alarm clock. No issues with performance.

I thought that I would get a kick out of this alarm app, but twice in the first week it has failed to make any noise when it was supposed to go off. Both times I had followed instructions and left it in the foreground, and both times the screen filled up with notifications but didnt make a sound, and the app crashed when I tried to open it. I wish I hadnt spent the money.

I like falling asleep to music but I cant have music from iTunes or another app playing and trust Carrot to go off. Also, the chores for disengaging the alarm now require reading and word scrambles... That means I have to find and put on my glasses first. Some of the comments are funny which is why I still use it, but things like "cut off prisoners pinky toe" - it is just gross I will be searching for a new app if I level up much farther and it keeps getting more complicated.

This is the best alarm clock ever.. I have used it for over two years, I am over level hundred and I still wake up to it without issue every day. Im a meatbag and carrot is almighty. Thanks for helping me make it to work, oh great one.

I hate getting up so the harshness of this app at first made this very much not love at first site but it works well and it grew on me especially after I was able unlock more levels.
