“Do You Have Any Problems?” Screen Makes It Too Easy

Awake✨ Small Improvements

If you take too long to complete a mission, the “Do you have any problems?” screen appears and switches you to the “Tap here 100 times” mission. This completely defeats the purpose of having a difficult mission to stop the alarm. Tapping 100 times is something you can do half-asleep with your eyes closed, so it undermines the whole system. This fallback should either be optional, adjustable, or replaced with something that maintains the intended difficulty.

    My daughter (11 years old) says the app doesn't work for her because she found the "I have a problem" button that allows disabling the alarm with 100 taps. Now she's not using it anymore. I understand there should be some way to stop the alarm in extreme cases (travel without QR code, for example), but maybe this is too easy to dismiss? I would suggest adding an option to disable this feature, and in extreme cases one can always turn off the phone or maybe choose another mission to complete. In my case (as a parent) a secret code would work.

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. In case of a technical issue, we need some kind of fallback for users to disable the alarm. Of course, we could make the fallback more difficult, but we think that it is the user’s responsibility whether they abuse this feature or not. One way or another, there will always be a trade-off, which is why we will keep the fallback as it is.

    We appreciate your understanding. 😊

      Thank you so much for taking the time to answer and for genuinely considering this point. I really appreciate the thoughtful response.

      I can’t quite hold myself back from saying that, from my perspective, I just can’t fully follow the argument. It’s obviously not that simple when it comes to responsibility, as you mentioned. The whole reason why this app exists is because people abuse the snooze button, and putting an easy emergency exit within easy reach of the missions is simply against the app’s core purpose.

      Of course, I completely agree that there should be some kind of emergency option, for example, if there are technical issues or if you’ve chosen a scan mission but don’t have the item with you because you’re not at home. But ideally, users could pick a different “mission” for it or make it available only after a longer time period. In my humble point of view, if it stays like that and you follow that logic through, the whole app stops making sense.

      That said, I fully respect your decisions and the direction you choose to take, and I really appreciate the open discussion.
