Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 23 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied because they were unexpectedly banned from the website, often after years of consistent use. This led to frustration, as they found themselves unable to access a service they relied on for alarms and timers, with some even reporting being late for important commitments. Some people also felt that the banning system was unfairly targeting legitimate users, or that it was overly strict and misconfigured, leading to entire internet service providers being blocked. This caused confusion and inconvenience, as users believed they had done nothing wrong to warrant such action.

Tldr; Site is great, but bans randomly. The site is pretty good and simple for what it is. Just an online alarm, and it's free. Had used it for around 3 years to wake up for work. If I had r... See more

Longtime user of the site. I love the memes I get whenever the alarm goes off and I end it. I am sad that when I moved and got a new ISP that I was somehow blocked. I'm guessing it was a ranged thin... See more

Life saver

I like all the different sounds. If I keep my alarm the same sound every day then I get use to it and it no longer wakes me up. This alarm is perfect. I just wish my speakers were louder. But even though my speakers suck this alarm clock still wakes me up with the different tones and stuff. I am forever thankful for the site. Without it I would definitely be without a job

longtime alarm user with mixed feelings

its a really great alarm and i used it for years... but the memes they choose after you turn the alarm off are sometimes misogynist and tbh i don't really need that in the morning. i wish they'd cut that out. i'll look for other alarms in the meantime

Hi Jadyn, thank you very much for using us and thanks for the review.

We're really sorry if some of our Memes are a little too dark-humor oriented for you and we will defintely try to keep this reigned in going forward!

Each meme is only live on our site for 24 hours...so if you don't like the current one, it will automatically self-destruct on the following day :) If you don't like seeing our Memes at all, please try simply closing your browser tab once the alarm comes on. This way you'll avoid the Memes entirely.

We hope you'll continue using us and thanks for the valuable feedback!

Hi Glen, it's great to get some appreciation not just for our alarm clock...but also for our timer!

Regarding the bad jokes, based upon your criticism, we just fired our joke writer.

Wait a minute...that's me.

(Oh well, time to work on that resumé again.)

Sad, no longer funcitonal

Like others have said, IP banned out of nowhere after religiously using the site since... geez, must've been 2016 at least. I eventually even reached out to their 'info' email address, having previously had a feature discussion with 'em years back (re: a barely audible noise generated by its tab), but three weeks later and total radio silence from them.

I don't think a one is fair, 'cause if it WAS still working I'd rate them as highly as they come, but like... it's a bit like an old friend ghosting you out of nowhere, you know?

Simply One of the Best, if not the Best

Honestly, I've been enthralled by this site and I have it on my second screen all the time. The owner is very polite and responds in a timely manner, which is to my surprise because I didn't expect this level of professionalisim and dedication, for, at a glance, a simple alarm clock site. I appreciate the service this site has done for me, so I'll do a service for the site and leave a positive review for that fact.

This online alarm clock works very well and I can hear it go off, unlike other clocks. It is beneficial to me.

Alarming!

My go-to alarm when I've stupidly left my phone at work again and have to use the PC in my living room like some kind of barbarian. Even over the city noises and my intentionally loud fan, it works great!

They fixed it! (great, useful site in general too)

Was having the same ip ban issue as the 1 star reviews, somebody from the site emailed asking for further info and, it seems to have been fixed! Had to do a quick captcha the first time, but now the site is working for me again!

So, updating my review to reflect it. The site had a major problem, and when called out about it, they responded, and promptly fixed it, which was great customer service!

Beyond that, it's always been a simple if very reliable site, that I've used for the better part of a decade, and with this hiccup fixed, I plan to keep using it for another decade or more!

I use the trainhorn sound to wake my ass up

I use the trainhorn sound to wake my ass up for work everyday, Im a VERY EXTREAMLY heavy sleeper most of the time onlineclock works witch is better then any other clock. I also like that the volume level of the sound isn't maxed from the site rather the computer speakers. and the dad memes are a must have every day
