Best Alarm Clock + Weather and Temperature
“Boring!” I hear you cry, “Every device already has an alarm function” you persist, and you are of course correct. However Best Alarm Clock is a reliable wake up must have, failing to meet that first deadline of the day can leave you struggling to catch up, no matter how dedicated you are to your Wunderlist.
Those affected by the iPhone’s alarm failures will be especially appreciative of this dependable app’s features. You can set multiple alarms and even set different ones to go off on different days, you also get to find out what the weather is like without staggering over to the window.
For me there are two crucial features of this app which make it essential, first of all the beloved snooze button that is explicitly missing from the built in alarm but also the ability to use your own music from your iTunes library as alarms.
I set Don’t Stop ‘til You Get Enough for my 7am wake-up alarm, I have never shot out of bed so fast (to dance in my pyjamas) in my life.
Which apps do you depend on?
