Loftie Reviews
Experience
The alarm sounds are so incredibly lovely - the steel drums are my personal favorite - and they make such a positive difference in how I start my day. Would highly recommend if you’re looking to get away from using your phone as an alarm clock. The app could use some work (updates seem a little buggy), and that’s the only reason I didn’t give it a 5.
Experience
I love this alarm clock, my only complaint is that sometimes my phone doesn’t connect to it, and I can’t sync the alarm. Other than that, it’s made beautifully, and my partner agrees that waking up to it is a much better experience than any standard alarm clock.
Experience
can not NOT recommend this clock enough. had it for a year and loved it. then one night it lost connection while the sound machine was on and I was asleep and my alarm did not go off the next morning making me late to work. for a clock that helps you get your phone out of your room, doesn't work if you can't rely on it to wake you up. the clock was frozen until it died...which wasn't long since it basically has to be plugged in at all times. will absolutely be looking for a new clock to replace. aesthetically pleasing yes, but not worth the money at all.
Experience
What's good is great, and what's bad makes this something I can't yet recommend to others. I love the aesthetic and the features (gentle awakening, lots of non-abrasive alarm sounds, meditations), and that it gets me to be able to put my phone across the room when I sleep. The app definitely could use some work, though. I don't find the UX to be intuitive while setting it up and navigating the features. It also took me months to get the clock to sync with the app, after many back-and-forths with CX. The alarm has also not gone off a few times due to the syncing being disrupted for some reason—causing me to have to set a backup alarm on my phone many days.
Feedback
Improve the app UX and syncing mechanism, reduce the size of the power cable wall brick.

I love this clock so much it was the first thing I retrieved after my apartment had a fire, thankfully only with a tiny scratch! I think it does a good job for me now but would wish, like others, that the light could turn on in the morning with the alarm as well—I hope that's an update to come. I love the library of white noise and the amount of personalization options it has for volume and alarm tones. I can't live without it!
Experience
It looks great - that is the primary appeal. The interface isn't the most intuitive though. The light underneath it is good, but I agree with others and wish the light would turn on when the alarm goes off. Some nice ambient sound options.
Feedback
I also wish it would display the weather on the screen.
Experience
I tried this for a few days and immediately decided to return. The app isn't intuitive and I just couldn't get it set up the way I wanted. The goal is to put your phone further away, but I just couldn't rely on it for that to be possible. I love the concept, but just can't recommend and probably wouldn't give this particular company a second chance.
Experience
I bought a refurbished Loftie about a year ago. I use the brown noise feature, alarm, and light almost every night. I like that it's simple, sleek, and does what it's supposed to do.
Feedback
I would love it a bit more if it connected with Bluetooth so I could wake up to music or play a podcast but I understand the goal here is simplicity. It only connected with a 2.4Gz wireless connection so I had to turn off my simplified network and create a separate wifi line just for the clock which was frustrating. Overall decent clock, but definitely expensive for what it is.
Experience
I wake up to birds in NYC. The clock face goes 100% dark. The best alarm clock ever.
Experience
I loved the clock, BUT there was a software error earlier in the year where alarms didn't go off. The error wasn't resolved that day: I was still getting emails for at least a week about them "looking into it". I eventually stopped using it bc what is the point of using an alarm if I have to set my phone anyway? It's a nice clock, I just have lost trust in the alarm ngl
