Version: 15.0
Among the many bugs created by updating to macOS 13.2 [grumble!] is one that causes Alarm Clock Pro 15 to throw the following error upon opening: "Failed to update system calendars as the local source could not be found. Please ensure this app has adequate permission to write to the local system calendar." - - I have already verified that all permissions required for Alarm Clock Pro 15 are ON. Therefore, I've written to Koingo Support, with screenshot of the error box, seeking assistance. I'll post here any response I receive.

I don't own this product, but just some consumer feedback....I would NEVER pay $22 and a monthly fee for an alarm clock.

Version: 13.0.2
Koingo charged me correctly via PayPal by 29.Dec.2020 7,50 $ for old guys (I'm 80)
Koingo charged me unauthorizied by 16.Jan 2021 18,00 $
Following up to my complaint they set up a ticket but never replied to my reminders.
Now the the ticket has disappeared. "You have no open ticket".

Koingo is going to subscriptions. - -> "USD $0.83 PER MONTH (BILLED ANNUALLY)" for Alarm Clock Pro 12.x.

The previously listed price was incorrect. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Ugly, really ugly. I know that should not be a big deal but it was so ugly and primitive looking I had to get rid of it. What can I say?

Version: 12.1.1
How hard would it be for Apple to add basic functionality to the menu bar clock? Both iOS and watchOS have timers and stopwatches, so why not macOS.

It seems, that 99% of the ratings are spam-ratings to push the app on the top

A paid upgrade to a .01 version??? Right there that tells me I don't want to get involved with this product.

Major Bloatware reporting for duty, Sir!
It’s nice that it offers more alarm options (streaming) than Awaken (at twice the price), but it does TOO much and you’re paying for many functions you’ll never use and would never expect to find in an alarm clock.
An alarm clock is supposed to be a clock with alarms.
It’s fine if it also includes reminders or other functions that are closely related to its primary purpose (stream music for alarms etc).
But it should not do all this:
"Routinely take screenshots or web cam shots and have them
e-mailed to yourself, ping web pages, launch URLs, open files, erase folders, execute shell commands, and perform a variety of other tasks."
It’s trying to do far too many completely unrelated tasks. Might as well rename it the "Wanna Do-It-All Thingy with Alarms."
There’s no logical reason for the menu to include shortcuts to all other installed Koingo software. What makes them think that when I’m using their alarm clock, that I might need to quickly open a wifi signal locator, display resolution controller, property cataloging app or any of their other software? I don’t.
There’s also no reason for there to be a separate menu item just to view the license details - it’s visual clutter and a complete waste of space!
And a subscription service? For a $20 app that’s often available for half price? You gotta be kidding me, Koingo! Greedy much?

Can anyone explain why the icon appears to be a gyroscope?

Version: 10.2.8
This app is awful because they cripple the most important feature for me and then ignore support emails. I was given a license to this app but have purchased other Koingo software. My support emails have gone unanswered for weeks.
The referenced crippled feature is text message alerts. The app allows me to set this up but the developer cripples this feature. All the user gets is an error message stating I have passed my quota of text messages (which is supposedly 10 per day). It does not allow me to even send 1 per day.
The developer asked to have me send a copy of my drivers license to increase the 10 per day limit. In these time of identity theft I do not send my personal information like this. All I want is the 10 per day limit.
Support doesn't get worse than completely ignoring your customer. I am all done with Koingo. I am switching to Onyx and TinkerTool System from MacPilot. Software that does not work along with zero customer service equals .5 stars. That is even being generous.

Jesus, MacUpdate.
I can't download this without you shoving your malware down my throat. wtf.
Why is there no direct download option?

Version: 10.2.8
Stay away from this crap and these scammers!
My extremely low rating is due to the fact of the following things:
- When I originally bought this software I was billed a recurring anual subscription without asking me first!
- The applications uses constantly an average of 3~5% CPU on an rMBP 13" 2.9Ghz Early 2015;
- The support was close to non-existant, I guess that they decided to reply to end the constant flow of my complain emails and tickets (yes, I had to spam these faceless thieves in order to have an answer).
I of course ended up returning this crap and as you see screaming to whoever wants to listen my beware message about Koingo.
Who would say that a nice country as Canada had such stone faced jerks!?

Version: 10.2.3
After all the difficulties as previously discussed (Arise), the current version 10.2.3 is proving to be reliable. There is one problem I have had, and my lower rating is due to the fact that you can get no support at all. I have two support tickets open. The first is over a month old asking a very simple question. The second is two weeks old and just asks how long before anyone response. Neither have ever been addressed.
Dec 15 2015
Version: 10.2.1
I've used Alarm Clock Pro for years. Then Koingo stopped supporting the software and sent emails to all their users that the replacement software was called Arise, and that everyone should buy that. So I bought that. Then Koingo bought Arise, tossed it aside, and started supporting Alarm Clock Pro again. So I paid for the new new version of Alarm Clock Pro, and thought all was well. Now Alarm Clock Pro forgotten my License and won't run. I can't get it working, and Koingo Software is not responding to support tickets. It's been days. I don't have time to fiddle around with a $20 alarm clock widget, so I'm going to go shop around for an alternative that contains functionality and comes from a responsive developer.

Version: 10.1.9
The misunderstanding with Koingo's team was resolved and my licenses reinstated to the Utility Package as advertised and purchased back in 2008. Thanks Josh.
Jan 31 2015
Version: 10.0.9
I'm leaving a comment rather than a review mainly because I'd like to make a couple of requests, but also because my impression is that this app is still a work in progress as Alarm Clock Pro is merged with Arise. My requests are all to do with the stopwatch (I'm on a bit of a stopwatch crusade today):
1. Reduce the CPU consumption of the stopwatch. I can't use the stopwatch as is because I can't deal with loud computer fans.
2. Move the stopwatch function to the dropdown menu.
3. Show the stopwatch progress in the menubar.
Thanks!
