Pros and cons of Light Alarm app for iPhone and iPad

Light Alarm app good for

What a great way to wake up. Ive always hated waking up to alarm clocks, so much I never use them. I love the soft slow wake up of this app. Good job!!
Could really use a setting so you can pre-set for certain days and dont have to manually set each time.
I love that there are different sounds to wake up too. Waking up to the sunrise effect makes me feel more refreshed than a loud buzzer.
Seriously the best alarm clock ever - wakes you gently with an easy transition from deep to light sleep to wakefulness. I love it and thank you!
Desired features: random sound each morning. Select a song from iPod library. Good product! Much cheaper than hardware alarm.
Lots of options for sounds, colors, snooze, and volume. Works everyday I use it.

Some bad moments

Very nice way to wake up but such a shame the app has to be used with the iPhone on and plugged in to the mains... The screen glowing on all night is a pain...
I like this alarm but mostly I like the idea of it. It still needs some work. The thing that baffles me is when something obvious is left out of the programming. In this case one thing, but its a doosey. Once the alarm is set, my ipod touch emits a lot of light in the alarm clock view regardless of how much I dim the numbers. I dont want my room lit up while Im trying to sleep. Please fix this in an update. Simple - no light when I sleep, lots of light to wake me up. Add to that, the amount of light that is being given off during the night is a major drain on the batteries.
I love waking up to the sound of birds, as it reminds me if a summer day with the windows open. BUT... There is way too much light coming off of the iPod at night. So much, that I have to turn it away from my face to go to sleep. Kind of defeats the purpose of the wake up light.
I used to love this alarm, but ever since I upgraded my iOS the app just crashes (and I sleep in)
the "dark" screen kills of the battery pretty fast and it isnt exactly dark. i dont know if it is possible to turn the screen off completely on the iphone and then light it up, but this apps dark screen is just the same brightness as the sunrise screen, only the color is different. its so bright, it has been impossible for me to even fall a sleep for a little while. its a shame, since its a nice app with all the alarm sounds and stuff, but it just doesnt do what its supposed to.
it should have different sounds to choose from. The bird´s sound can be quite annoying after a while. you will want to kill the bird who woke you up instead of "embracing the morning" . better buy the alarm clock where it wakes u up with your favorite music.
