Changed my life ~
I honestly love this alarm clock. It works without wifi, although I did connect to wifi during the set up. Of course the app (which is wildly simple and not necessary) does not work if the clock is not connected to wifi. This alarm clock allowed me to get rid of my white noise machine, and the easy on/off soft light will be a blessing when the new baby comes, no more harsh bed side light at night! The 'start to wake up' option (10 minutes before the real alarm) is honestly great. It gently kicks you out of your sleep cycle, but lets you have a few more minutes of rest, then the real, non jarring, alarm gets you up. Buttons are easy to use on the top, and it has a ton of white noise, classical music sounds and alarm sound options. I have not used the meditation function yet, mostly because my husband would say "ok WTF is that?" If you can afford to spend $150 on an alarm clock, I really recommend this alarm clock.
