wake me up when it's ready

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: One Month

Recommend Product: NO

For an alarm clock-type app i'm really hoping for something a little more reliable. Power Manager looked very promising but seemed to work off and on :) I reckon it failed to play anything in iTunes for at least 80% of the time - although it did wake the 'puter up admittedly pretty reliably. I'm trying to get it automatically play a certain radio stream initially on wake up and failing that would fall back to a regular playlist. I created a new playlist with one entry for the radio station but still no deal.

i really want to pay for this but i'm absolutely fcked if i'm going to fork over my cash for the privilege of being a beta tester. giving up on power manager for now...

Re: wake me up when it's ready - keaka

I use my app to wake up every morning and it has never failed to play iTunes. However, I don't use radio stations so I have not tested/programmed for that scenario yet. I suspect the problem lies with attempting an internet connection immediately after waking from sleep. Thanks for the feedback, and I'll look into the problem! --Keaka Jackson
