Q: Bedtime does not work

Two nights in a row now I have tried to use this dumb feature as an alarm clock and two times now it hasn't worked.  Do I have to say some secret prayer to make it work?  I recall when I tested alarm noises they were barely audible at normal volume so I cranked the volume all the way up and it was at least audible.  This seems like a nice feature but so far it appears to be completely useless.

 

Oh yeah and just noticed while I was typing this - we're on the 10th iteration of iOS yet the help site still runs like trash on it.  I picked the wrong category because this thing is impossible to navigate on an actual iOS device.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

    Can you explain what you mean by "hasn't worked"? Did the alarm not go off? Did something else not work as expected?

     

    Jive, the developers of the software that this forum runs on, to the best of my knowledge, don't have a mobile version. There are a very limited number of software packages that will run a forum of this size so Apple, to some extent, has to take what they can get.

    It could either be not going off or just too quiet to wake me up even though I have the phone's volume at max.

     

    Also there were no alarms set for the same time.

    First, the obvious (i.e. The most often overlooked). Did you have all days of the week selected under Options? Have you tried a forced restart of you phone?

     

    Have you tried a different alarm tone?
