Conclusion
The two apps reviewed this time each have their own advantages. I can choose based on my own laziness level / personal preference~
If you really want to force yourself to get up early, I would recommend Alarmy, because its alarm sound is truly loud, and the requirements for dismissing the alarm tasks are quite high and diverse. Especially for me, who is terrible at math, the math mission is really difficult, but after doing the math problems, my mind is indeed clearer ;)
(My mental math has also improved, not sure if it's related)
But if you want a more relaxed wake-up, and don't want to be too "chur," I would recommend Shake-it Alarm. First, because the polar bears and penguins are really cute~
(Back to the main topic)
Actually, it's because its alarm dismissal tasks are less complicated. Plus, if you're like me and suffer from decision paralysis, Shake-it Alarm has a "random mission" feature, so every night you only need to set what time you want to wake up tomorrow~
Waking up early means you can have better time management. If you have a DSE study schedule, you can also ensure you successfully follow it~
Learning and improving yourself this way can potentially save a lot on tutoring and reference books, killing three birds with one stone!
