7:39 agreed! The subscription should come with the device itself. They can make a standalone subscription for just the app. But it makes no sense to penalize a customer base that literally just showed support by paying nearly $200 for an alarm clock, of all things. The only reason why I will be buying this alarm clock is because I work overnight and miss sunrises etc, working double shifts and overnight…you become desperate to get that sense of normalcy. Otherwise I wouldn’t recommend this for people. Too many cheaper more affordable apps that only require your phone, but do the same thing.
I absolutely hate subscriptions of any kind. I agree, it would make more sense for them to offer a standalone app subscription that plays noise directly from the phone, and let customers who buy this have full and unlimited access. With that said... now that the initial magic of all the sound options has worn off for me, I mostly stick to the same few free sounds anyway and don't have much interest in the premium soundscapes, so I guess it's all good in the end.
so once you set the wake up time through the app, you don't have to worry about it being connected to WiFi? It's ridiculous to me that my alarm clock needs to be connected to WiFi to wake me up. So, just trying to clarify that point
Correct, I'm pretty sure that's how it works. I've lost wifi before due to a storm power surge and I'm pretty sure it still ran my preset routines. The reason I was personally annoyed was because I couldn't figure out a way to CHANGE the routines without wifi, and I didn't want to be woken up at my regular time the next morning. I also dislike that particular feature.

Damn.. I need to get a Hatch restore 2. My iphone alarm is miserable to wake up to

The sound effects in the video are too loud and feel kinda childish for a view review on a more 'premium' alarm clock, thats my only suggestion!
Noted! Thanks for the feedback. I suck at editing but will have to hire a pro soon 😂
