Can anyone recommend a good iPhone compatible alarm clock?

Because my iPhone one keeps letting me down! And I really need something reliable. I keep oversleeping and missing things because the alarm just doesn’t sound.

TIA

Why iPhone compatible? Have you considered an old fashioned alarm clock that uses batteries?

I use a Braun travel alarm clock. I don't trust phone alarms. If the phone has a system reset overnight, the alarms don't go off.

I'm deaf and I use the alarm on my Apple watch. It buzzes and vibrates on my wrist and I've never overslept. I don't hear other alarms.

How does your iPhone let you down? You set the alarm, it goes off.

if your alarm isn’t sounding you need to check your settings.

as for an iPhone compatible alarm, why does it need to be? Why not just get an alarm clock?

I just want to say mine lets me down too !!
I have no idea why, but sometimes just doesn’t go off at all, it’s really annoying.

I have a sunrise alarm clock. Love it and I wake up feeling less startled

Then again, my phone alarm used to be the song from Phantom of the Opera which explains why I woke up startled

I use a Lumie.

I've got an Alexa. Set it before bed & I get a pleasant enough jingle that goes off in the morning
Do you have your phone on silent at bed time?!
