      Exactly it’s wilddddd. Can’t we go back to just buying a product in full??

    Thank you for that ! Just in case you need to read this: Keep making videos, I really liked your CZcams description (Simple honest and brave).

    Thank you for this review. I especially appreciate your honest feedback on features you wish it had and what you dislike about the clock and app.

    Thanks for the informative and honest review. Have you tried reaching out to the company with your ideas? If software updates can fix most of these issues, then there's really no excuse for how poorly thought out the design of this "clock" is. Like, I get it if they can't install time-keeping or brightness, but surely the other issues you mentioned could be easily resolved.

    That’s nuts you can’t actually set the time from the clock itself. Great review btw!

    Great review and attention to the details that matter from an practical everyday use-case.

    This was very helpful! Thanks! I wish I could've heard second phase in the two-phase alarm sound. I'm looking for an alarm clock that doesn't make the typical harsh beep sound.

      Here are some of the alarm sounds from their website: byloftie.com/pages/alarm-101

    Why does it need wi-fi.. not being able to change my clock time sounds annoying. You have convinced me to invest in a vintage Braun alarm clock.

    Exactly the review I was looking for. I wonder if there's a good alternative to Loftie that you could recommend? Literally my main thing is wanting to change the alarm ON the device with something that's modern and looks good, so i'm hesitant on this product.

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Happy I could help! Honestly I wish there was a viable competitor but I have not found one. Right now I am using a homepod mini because it has night sounds built in.

    Just got one, one thing to note, the clock does have an auto brightness feature. It is kinda dim during the day though.

    • @graysontate_
      @graysontate_  Před měsícem

      Oh, that must be in a newer version. Mine doesn’t have that.

    Just bought this clock then found this review. Big difference, bought it on ebay for $70. At that price I would say it's worth it. I think the subscription is what i have more of a problem with. I want what the subscription does, but seems like an unnecessary cash grab.
