Alarm Clock App needed for Samsung Galaxy III
June 13, 2013 12:52 PM Subscribe
So we had the Motorola Electrify 2 and I loved this phone because it had a preloaded Alarm/Timer app. This was the best alarm clock because A. it had a nice pleasant sound B. It has a progressive ring, it slowly got louder- so it was gentle on waking. C. If you hit snooze three times the alarm clock doesn't just disappear and stop going off. BF "upgraded" us to the new "better" phones and I over slept again, I need that app!
Any suggestions. thanks!
I like this one. I have mine set to Mbira tone (it's mellow) and it allows for sound fade in and I've never had a problem with it in 3 years.

I like DoubleTwist Alarm. When combined with Caffeine (to keep the screen on when plugged in to a dock) and the Doubletwist player and Swiss Clock theme, you can approximate the gentle glow of an illuminated dial Braun alarm clock complete with your own choice of mp3 wake-up.

We use Smart Alarm. It's part of the Clock app on your phone. Snooze can be set to repeat up to 10 times (which is a whole hour) but no more. It fully meets your other criteria.

Sleep as Android is another option and can even force you to do math problems, scan a barcode (like, a code in your bathroom, for instance, so you have to get up and walk the phone into there), or other things before turning the alarm off.

I've been using AlarmDroid for a couple years, now on my Galaxy SIII, previously on my SII, and it's never failed me. It has many options including a progressively louder ring, and you can hit snooze as many times as you want.

For some reason, DoubleTwist (which I otherwise loved) kept going back to a crappy, default alarm tone on my SIII. I switched recently to Alarm Clock Xtreme Free and haven't had any problems.
