As a general rule of thumb, I don’t set it for the regular 15 minute increments, because it probably won’t go off. Today, I set it for 10:37 and it went off at 10:46! 😠

IThere’s a pretty simple way to test the alarm, make it go off when your awake and waiting for it. Say the current time is 11:57, set the alarm for 12:00 and sit and wait for it to go off.
That won’t tell you if the alarm app is being affected by something like doze which would only happen after the phone sits idle for hours
Wow thanks! I don’t know how I never thought of doing that.
How do you know it wasn’t going off if you weren’t awake? I’ve had situations before where mine went off but my brain incorporated it into the dream I was having for a little while before waking me up.
It’s a light up one, it lights up slowly over around five minutes. I think I woke up at 6:36, so I would have seen it anyways.
Maybe it has a setting to gradually start the noise as well? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense for it to introduce the light gradually while also blasting you with the sound.
Yes, but there’s an indicator light that comes on when the alarm starts, and as I said it came on nine minutes late.
Ah, I see. Well I couldn’t tell you then. It’s probably specific to the model of clock.
(Assuming you are using your smartphone) check your battery saving options. Sometimea battery saving for the entire phone or for the clock app can make it less “respondent” to times
Thanks, it’s a physical alarm clock though. This one specifically
