    Default Alarm Clock App

    Hey hey hey!!!
    I'm new here so firtsly I would like to say hi to everyone !

    I need some help with finding any good alarm clock app... I have this huge problem with getting up in the morning _^_"... It's getting really embarassing to be late at work every day... I used to use the original iPhone alarm clock but it isn't working very well for me. Since then I tried few different apps but none really helped me :/ (I tried even the one where you have to solve the math problem!)

    Maybe someone knows of any alarm clock app which would make me get out of bed in order to turn it off? (it doesn't really help to put my phone on the other side of the room.. i just don't here it... my roomy does and she only gets pissed when it rings for 2 minutes...)

    What about an app like Sleep Time? You put the phone under your mattress and the app uses the accelerometer to determine when you've tossed and turned to find the optimal "wake up" time for you within a window. So if you want to get up by 7:30, and your tossing and turning indicates you're half awake at 7:10, it will start to alert you then, as well as at 7:30 if you aren't up yet. Supposedly it helps you wake up at more natural points in your sleep cycle.

    Good luck!

    The natural point to wake up in my sleep cycle is 1 pm.

    Beware using any iOS device as an alarm clock. Over the past several years, I remember reading that iOS has been plagued with every leap year bug known to man.

    I'm afraid if I had to solve a math problem at 6am, I would have one iPhone embedded in drywall. Do you have it turned up all the way? Have you tried the most irritating sounds? I have an issue myself where I keep snoozing it, instead of swiping it. Perhaps its just best to get either one of those alarm clock bases for the iPhone, or a separate alarm clock (with a backup battery). I have a bose radio, thats turned to default to wake the dead, and its across the room.

    I have used Best Alarm very successfully. I also have used Sleep by iHome which is great if you use one of their products. I have never had a problem with the built in alarm clock.

    An app I really like is the MultiSnooze app. It allows you to tap the "snooze" button multiple times and then receive that many contiguous uninterrupted snooze sessions. You can also wake to your iTunes playlist. It also allows you to customize the length of your snooze session and allows you to enable a "softwake" feature which chirps when the MultiSnooze is transitioning from one snooze session to the next.

    Hello,
    Well, I have a similar problem as Romi has. Usually it's really difficult to wake up in the morning. I unconsciously turn off the alarm and go back to sleep... and snooze function is not so good because then I press snooze like 100 times and never really wake up :P
