What buyers say?
What Google knows about it.

What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—reliability & durability—directly echoes critics' note that the device relies on WiFi for updates and has limited battery backup, creating potential failure points.
In their words
“Loftie is a sleep game changer!! I will never again use my phone as an alarm. Waking up to the gentle sounds and light has completely changed how I start my day. It sets the tone for the day, I’m more relaxed in the morning not having been jolted out of sleep by an annoying cell phone alarm and the horrible blue light from the screen. Loftie isn’t only helping in the morning it also sets the tone ”

“Listen, I waited a long time to write this review because I know that bad reviews hurt companies reputation. However, after giving them six opportunities to remedy things, I can confidently say this is not a product or company to support. I've gone through two clocks in two years and both have stopped working.”
