For developers and the curious
The evidence, sources, measurements and versions behind every label above.
Facts that add context without being a charge.
In-app purchases run from USD 1.49 to USD 49.99 — a 34x spread across 10 items
The disclosed in-app purchases span an unusually wide price range. Published as context: the cheapest and priciest items may be different kinds of product entirely, so the spread alone deducts nothing.
Open observations that have not cleared the evidence bar.
Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 8 distinct reviewers (about 1 in 63 reviews we read)
This observation has not cleared the required evidence standard.
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
Nothing was published as a thing to watch for in this assessment. That is not a finding that nothing is wrong with the app.
500 reviews read for this analysis. Each observation keeps the sample and store it was based on.
Used to be good until now — When I first got this app awhile ago I was using it to help my anxiety when I sleep with brown noise with the mix of my alarm in which helped me a lot, years later they kept updating it with no issue until the…
Constant updates and paywalls — I’ve been using this app for 4 years and I’ve loved it but the constant updates and paywalls have killed it. You used to be able to use smart wake without paying now they’re locking it behind a paywall…
Save yourself the trouble — I’ve used this app for years and it’s just been going downhill. Now I have to delete it completely because they put everything behind a paywall. Save yourself the trouble and go download whatever’s the next app…
A sampled review illustrates one person’s experience. It does not establish a finding on its own.
“Not assessed” means we could not measure it. It is never a zero and never a pass.
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Each store’s release notes, as the developer wrote them. They are the developer’s words, not ours.
Spotify stays connected more easily: Alarmify now lets you know before Spotify's sign-in expires, and you can reconnect in one tap. Smart Wake recovers more reliably when iOS closes the app overnight, for example during an update. Fewer freezes and other fixes.
Fixes an issue that could keep Alarmify from opening after the last update on some iPhones.
Appworthy
music-alarm-clock-for-spotifyAssessed 2026-10-27 from 500 user reviews, the store listing and its privacy label. We have not scanned the app's package, so nothing on this page was read from inside the app itself.
What the stores publish. Store ratings are the stores’ numbers, not Appworthy’s, and are never averaged across stores.
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
