problems with G-Alarm 1.5.1

does anybody ever have problems when using this? i have the latest free version and i noticed that sometimes the tones will not play. i have them on the device i believe. i am wonderiing what is the problem. i have one sound file for ever one of my alarms, i have 6 alarms, and sometimes they play and sometimes they dont. what used to happen was my tone would change to a default one. i converted the file from .wav to .mp3 and that seemed to fix that problem. now sometimes they dont play at all, BUT if i set the phone to snooze and then fall back asleep the next time the alarm goes off the tone works.

I think there may be some compatibility issues with certain ROMs. I've never had a problem with it not playing the tones, but I have had trouble with it on some ROMs where it wouldnt go off at all.

I believe I had a very similar problem with 1.5.1 too. It would work reliably(wake me up), it just wouldn't play the music file I chose. I decided to upgrade to the pay version (2.1.2) and have found it reliable/stable and none of those issues have occurred.
I am reluctant to try 2.3 given some of the bug reports I've read on their forums - as minor as those reports are. Nevertheless, I like G Alarm more than some of the other programs I've tried.

how much is the pay version in USD?

G Alarm 2
4.99 Euro = $7.33 I think.

P.S. Hope this doesn't look like I'm shilling for this program... I do like it though.
