Loftie 4+

Impressive — but I have some feedback (devolopers please read)

Highly impressive, and a stunning experience. The Loftie Smart Alarm clock has such a variety of sounds and playlists. On the other hand, I have a few suggestions that wouldn’t be too hard to follow through with. For one, a little bit of animation between different menu items on the clock would make the UI and display feel much more intuitive. It would also be great if there was a option to connect your Loftie Smart Lamp to your clock so that we could control our lamps directly from our clocks to further eliminate the use of screens. My final suggestion is that we can upload custom audio files to our clocks to play music tracks, ebooks, and other meditation tracks. Honestly, it really wouldn’t be that hard, and I would hope a company like Loftie would do something to work to add these suggestions. Is this possible? A response to this would be great, thank you! All in all, amazing product!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. We're working on the lamp-clock integration. We've certainly considered the ability to upload files and will note your input.

New clock

I haven’t used it for its full capabilities but as for the multiple alarms it has worked great.
Every morning before bed I had to ensure the volume on my iPhone wasn’t too low or painfully loud. Having the Loftie I know it will go off on my different scheduled alarms (surprisingly hard feature to find in other clocks).
I work M-th and wake at 4:30am then I wake up F-Sun at 5:30 to go to the gym. So like an iPhone I can set separate alarms. This was the biggest feature I was looking for in a clock.
My only issue (which isn’t much of an issue) and maybe I can disable it, but it does an alarm then snooze for 9 min then a get up alarm. I don’t like snoozing and would just like the one alarm to go off. However, I just get up during the first and it’s not a big deal… all in all I am satisfied with it. $150 is a bit for the reasoning of just an alarm clock but I just don’t need the other bells and whistles. Some people may enjoy it, but not waking up to full volume panic phone alarm is worth it to me.

Great Product, Atrocious App Programming

I have nearly 50 smart devices in my home across 8 different apps. I am well versed in how to setup, maintain and customize these devices. The Loftie app is one of the worst I have used. It’s confusing to use, extremely complicated and not user friendly. The products are great. I have the alarm clock and two lamps. The programming behind everything has made those products useless sometimes. I have had to reset the WiFi on both lamps nearly a dozen times, sometimes back to back. The WiFi setup process in general is terrible. The app doesn’t remember WiFi networks or passwords so you have to enter it over and over. The alarm setup is way overly complex. You can’t set the sunrise light on the lamps to any color you want-only the colors they choose for you. You also can’t set multiple alarms to different colors. You have to choose one sunrise light and that’s all you get for multiple alarms. So if you wanted to have the lights change to a nice sunrise color in the morning and then a daylight at noon, too bad. Can’t do that. Loftie could have an incredible product if they would fire all of their current devs and relaunch the app under a more advanced UX Developer.
