Read the other reviews as of lately, they are right. Hope to see some updates soon, otherwise, everything else works pretty good. If I’m mowing the lawn or feeding the animals I’ll probably miss it because it will make a small noise and then just stay on my phone, but if I don’t look at it till I come back in the house to wash my hands, then I’ve missed it. Reminders and calendar events don’t always work because they don’t make enough noise. Yours on the other hand, works no matter what. And if my alarm is to remind me of something during the day, unless I keep the other app open all day, it won’t work. Yours works even if my phone is silent and I forgot to set, but it has to be for every Thursday, when the alarm I might need is for a meeting or a flight that is 3 weeks or a month away. My other alarm does that, but I have to remember to open it before I go to sleep. Some simple suggestions would be to add options to the alarm like to set it for every other Thursday, or for a specific date. I had to download a separate app for that, and I wish I didn’t have to do that. what I don’t use if for is an alarm because there are not enough features. I use this app for many things, timers, stopwatch etc. I think this app has just been neglected or de-prioritized and is in need of a little TLC by developers or more people are going to stop using it. Either way, after being a lifelong apple clock app user, I am considering deleting it and finding another one. I can’t remember when exactly I started noticing this but I think it may have been after an update. I now have to use multiple alarms, as I can never trust the snooze is going to work. I know lots of people use calendar reminders for this reason, but why not build in a calendar to make the alarm app more functional?Īnother issue I’ve noticed more recently is, the swipe to snooze is so touchy that more times than not the alarm doesn’t swipe down properly and turns off rather than showing the option to snooze or turn off. For example, when I find out I need to wake up early for a flight 3 Fridays from now, why don’t I have the option to set the alarm for the day I need it to go off? The current option forces you to set it for every Friday. It would also be nice to be able to set an alarm for a particular date rather than just the standard day of the week. It would be cool if there was a way to group alarms for various tasks/activities into folders. I’ve used this app for as long as I can remember and the long list of alarms I set for various reasons gets to be confusing. You can also choose to set a timer that stops any music playing in the background-perfect for getting to sleep with your favorite playlist. Or count down using multiple timers, and add labels and distinct sounds to each. You can see how much time has lapsed with either a digital or analog stopwatch face, and you can quickly record laps or splits throughout the time.Ĭount down seconds, minutes or hours. You can also adjust your wake up alarm and sleep schedule from Health right in the Clock app so you can wind down with a Sleep Focus and make sure you always wake up on time. When your alarm goes off, you can choose to play from a selection of sounds, or pick a song from your Apple Music library. Choose to set them to repeat on specific days, give them a label and select the sound that plays with each. Or quickly see the time difference compared to your local time to make coordinating across time zones easy. Check the current time anywhere with World Clock, make sure you wake up on time with Alarms, or keep track of passing time with Stopwatch and Timers.Ĭheck the current time in cities around the world. So if you're looking for an alarm that forces you to wake up by annoying you, this one's it.Clock helps you manage your time on iOS, iPadOS and macOS. It also has a Don’t wake my spouse option that turns off the alarm sound for 10 seconds-just enough for you to run outside your room and turn your noisy alarm off without causing your partner to wake up. The app will send you notifications to tell you to return to the app and turn off your alarm. Since the app will still run in the background, the best way to cheat your way is to simply close the app. The app registers the slightest movement, so just moving your phone around would do the trick. The good thing, though, is it doesn’t need vigorous shaking. Worse, if you snooze and stop moving mid-alarm, the count will climb back up. It won’t shut off even if you turn your phone on silent or stop the app from running in the background. Motion is another alarm that doesn't stop until you move for a specific amount of time.
