When you get ANY alarm from the app, the app will override your device's MEDIA VOLUME to the MAX. Not only does this mean that the alarm is played at max volume, but so is whatever you were listening to prior to the alarm going off. I've lost track of how many times I've had to yank out my headphones in a panic because my music volume had suddenly shot up and threatened to BLOW MY DAMN EARDRUMS OUT. Beyond the alarms, I like the app. It does its job. But these alarms are making me go deaf.
