Review on 🕗 NexiGo Sunrise Alarm Clock with APP & Voice Control, Bedside Reading Light, Dual Alarms, 9 Special Lighting Modes, 5 Natural Sounds, and 11 Sleep Aid Sound Night Light by Stephanie Burgos

I chose this because I needed a more natural way to wake up than a shrill alarm clock. I'm a little disappointed because first of all, as you can see from the photo, the time is actually a bit blurry and it feels like seeing double. And so all the time, which is strange, but nonetheless. The application can definitely require a lot of work. It was easy enough to download, but once installed I kind of felt like it. What now? It's easy to set an alarm or multiple alarms, but unfortunately you can't preview any of the settings! It really sucks because there are about half a dozen color options and half a dozen sound options, but you can't see how they look or sound until the alarm goes off. So I sat on my bed for about 20 minutes and set my alarm a minute ahead of the current time so I could check everything before deciding which combo to use. My biggest problem is with the controls in the application. I have a light across from me on the dresser because I don't want the sun to come up right next to my face. So the plan was that I would just use this app like any other alarm clock app. Not at all. There is no way to simply stop the alarm once it goes off. You either postpone it or turn off the alarm clock completely. This of course got me in trouble the next night when I forgot I had to turn everything off in the morning so I went to bed without an alarm clock. Don't worry, I still made it to work on time. But that's stupid. I don't have to go into the app every night and set an alarm. This is to be repeated. That's the whole point. I was also under the impression that this light would mimic a real sunrise. Gradually increase the brightness. nope Once this light comes on, it's like landing on the surface of the sun instantly! The "sun" color scheme is pretty and all, but it's too fast. I am definitely disappointed and will continue my search.
