Three Best Alarm Clock Apps For Android : App 1 - Alarm Clock++

In last ten posts I have talked about the ten best apps for Android. If you have not read it yet and interested in reading it then check the blog archive.

One of the most frequently searched Android App by almost every android user is "Alarm Clock". There are many Alarm Clocks in Android Market today and question is which one to use. Here I am going to talk about three of the best Alarm Clock Apps which Android users would like to use. Today I am going to talk about first of these three Android Alarm Clocks.

Alarm Clock++ : This is one of the best Alarm Clocks available for Android phone. It is very simple to use, equipped with many required features and it is free.

Problem with most of the Alarm Clock apps I have seen is you need to tap or drag some button on screen to snooze the alarm. This is very stupid user interface because if you open your eyes to perform snooze then you are already awake and then what is the use of snooze feature. Alarm Clock++ provides a very great feature to snooze the alarm without opening our eyes. We have to just flip the Android phone to snooze the alarm. I love this feature and this allows me to snooze alarm for couple of times before I wake up.

When you start the Alarm Clock++ it displays the FAQ screen with frequently asked questions by app users and it provides very useful information.

Alarm Clock ++ FAQ Screen

Above screenshot shows the FAQ screen of Alarm Clock++ app when it is launched. This screen can also be seen by tapping FAQ menu of the app. One of the important information to note and take care of from FAQ screen is if you are using any Android Task Killer app like Advanced Task Killer then you need to put the Alarm Clock into Ignore List of task killer app. You can read about how to put a app to Ignore List of ATK at Advanced Task Killer post.

To set the shortcut, you need to press and hold the + (plus) icon for some time and it will allow you to select one of the apps from your phone. For example first two positions of the shortcuts are set for Calculator and Calendar app from phone.

Alarm Clock Display Mode

The small sun / moon looking icon at right hand top of the screen allows you to switch the display mode of the app from bright to dark. This is also called as day and night display mode. Tap the same icon again to switch the mode from dark to bright.

Alarm Clock ++ Menus

When you press the menu icon of your Android phone you could see the available menus for Alarm Clock app. These menus are displayed in the screenshot above. FAQ menu we have already seen in the first screenshot and it provides the useful information which app user should read and understand. Weather menu allows you to enter the name of the city and displays the weather information in that city. Out of these the most important menu is "Alarms". As name suggest Alarms menu allows you to set multiple alarms of different kind.
