I have uploaded a new version for Alarm Clock Wise 1.2.1. I tried to fix daylight saving's bug. It would be available soon on Google Play as google said. I would be grateful to you if you could tell me that has it been fixed or not.
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
Installed and quickly checked, difference in time bug is solved.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Thank you for checking :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Updated Version available at Google Play.
[Android Apps and Games] timelessjohn7:
Good work

hi. I tried your application and found it very useful. I was using another alarm clock app for long time, but after downloading your app i have shifted to alarm clock wise :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
It is really great that you like my app. Suggestions and reviews are always welcome and wont be over looked )

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] timelessjohn7:
you should add an icon on status bar to notify that an alarm is activated :)

If any other suggestion will come in my mind, i will let you know :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Thanks for the suggestion.. i will add it in the next upgrade and will notify you :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] shadabt:
Can you add NFC barrier? So alarm is dismissed only when i scan the nfc sticker.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I agree with this. An icon would be great when the alarm(s) are turned on so you can easily access then from the pull down. :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
i was thinking to use QRCode to stop the alarm. But it is a quite annoying procedure. You have to wake up, open a website generate a qr code and till that alarm is ringing. and if you are not in a home, may be in some hotel or some place where you dont have a pc to generate QR code then you would be in a great difficulty to stop that alarm ;)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I am working on this :) and it will be available in next update. :)
[Android Apps and Games] wolfgrrl:
Looks very nice! Testing now. Could you please use proper capitalization in the "alarm name" area? First letter should be capitalized. Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Thanks for pointing out the issue :) I will get it fixed in the next update :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I have fixed the Capitalization issue as you pointed :) I have uploaded the new version on XDA-Dev and google Play. You could download the new version from google play soon :)

I would be grateful to you if you could give some reviews about my app at Google Play.

Hi!

After tested it i have few suggestion for option that i miss a lot.

-I want the possibility to choose the music on my phone with my file explorer. I have tons of music and it's very hard for me to scroll for like 15minutes to select my favourite one.

-I miss progressive volume to wake me gently :rolleyes:

-When i stop the alarm i want to stay in the app to edit/add another alarm.

-Alarm clock ring but the screen doesn't wake, i should turn on the screen, unlock my phone then i can stop the alarm.

Add extra functionality

Hi, excellent design, well constructed but ( theres always a but :) sorry ) I'm me missing the "ramp volume up".

Is there any chance to add this function?

Thank you,

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] smanet:
5 starred on Play, really nice app. :good:

With the "ramp up volume", may I suggest a minor tweak? ie the 24h format instead of am/pm . TIA!
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
Myself I personally prefer the am/pm style. Maybe add it in the preference to be able to use either 12 hour or 24 hour.
[Android Apps and Games] simple4me:
Woww.. Its awesome..

And its worked great on my xperia Z

Thanks mate..
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
My next priority will be adding ramp up feature.. You will find this feature in a next update :)

Thanks for the suggestion :)

Feel free to give reviews and suggestions as i won't overlook them :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] vikas112:
Good work

Great work.

Would it be possible to add Tasker/Locale plugin. it would be great to supend Alarm based on calendar event using Tasker/Llama etc.
[Android Apps and Games] tmoore73:
I second this request, but with a little clarification. I'm a nurse, and my schedule is sort of all over the place. I put my schedule into my google calendar, under its own calendar, and I share this with my wife. Is it difficult to read a calendar, say, "Work", from my google account and have an alarm to go off two hours before each entry?

A tasker plugin, I assume, would allow me to accomplish the same thing, except I don't know if you can pass an event like "turn the alarm on" from tasker to another program.

I love the design of the software!
[Android Apps and Games] jclendineng:
Would it be possible to have the option of using phone speakers even if headphones are plugged in?
[Android Apps and Games] Salman Babri:
Very neat interface. I like it. :)

I have a feature request. In hurdles, there should be an option to use barcode reader to disable alarm. For example I have pasted a QR code in my washroom, so the alarm should only stop until I go to the washroom & take a snap. :) You could use third party app for reading QR code like Quickmark.
[Android Apps and Games] smanet:
Oh, yes, sorry, I meant something like that - not a fixed 24h format, just a way to choose.
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I will add an option for 24hr method in the settings for the people who prefer 24 hrs method :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] rubaboo:
Please hide the notification bar icon and message when no alarm is active. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I agree. While you can swipe it to remove it, I would rather it just hide/remove when you disable/turn off all alarms.

Still one of my favorite alarm apps by far. :D
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Glad you like it :) Its and honor for me :)

Suggestions are always welcome :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I am really sorry, but i dont knw anything about tasker, i will try to learn it asap :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I have added this feature in todo list :)

and you will find in next updates soon :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] frwan:
Glad to see your app is better at each update.

Just a quick review with the last update:

-Ramp up volume work well, i appreciate my screen wake up when the alarm ring.

-I still miss the possibility to choose music with my favourite file explorer or directly in a chosen folder.

-When i stop the alarm, it doesn't take me to main activity automatically, it quit and i can see it in recents apps.

-When i open the app in recents apps, the alarm begin ringing like i didn't stop it the first time.

-To edit/add an other alarm i should touch the alarm notification bar icon or restart the app.

I appreciate the fact that you listen user suggestions ;)

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
much thanks for pointing out these features.

I have added the file manager feature, and you will find it in a next update.

however i cant understand what you want to say from other points.

I have added the feature to take you to the main screen when you snooze or dismiss the alarm, and its working fine with me. If you are using a any lock i.e pattern etc, you will find the main screen when you will unlock the screen.

and i cant get you, what you meant from this point, i would be grateful to you if you could explain me the following point.

-To edit/add an other alarm i should touch the alarm notification bar icon or restart the app.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] frwan:
Thanks a lot i appreciate it! :)

When i dismiss or snooze the alarm it quit but i can see the app (the screen with stop or snooze) in recent apps.

When i open it in recent apps the alarm ring like i never stop the alarm or touch snooze button.

The feature to take me to the main screen when i dismiss or snooze the alarm doesn't work for me unluckily.

To go to the main screen i have 2 solutions:

-touching the alarm notification in notification bar

or

-kill the alarm in recent apps and re-open it.

[Android Apps and Games] rhorho:
good, i have that now~ thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:

[Android Apps and Games] powinmo:
I usually do not have a problem with a free app using ads to help support the devs. However, your choice of switching to Airpush was enough that I had to uninstall your app due to the sheer amount of junk pushed to my device within the first few minutes of installing/trying v1.3.2. The latest incarnation of Airpush ad libraries is brutal enough that most current ad detectors do not even recognize it yet.

I was not able to use your app long enough to try it and provide any real useful feedback...
[Android Apps and Games] Hippie459MN:
I updated and all I got was the regular ad at the bottom of the screen but now they just look like different ads (different subject material). Other then the ads in the normal location I dont see anything else being pushed to my phone as a result from the displayed ads.

EDIT: If I do start getting ads in my notification drop down though, this app is long gone! Its been 2 hours since I updated and so far nothing.

Hey DEV, might want to check out the links in this post about AirPush - http://androidforums.com/android-lo...o-you-want-ads-in-your-notification-tray.html

BAD IDEA!!!!!
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I understand that notification ads are annoying, therefore i didnt put any notification ad in my app :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
i can understand the push ads are annoying, but my app doesnt uses push ads, surely it would be some other app that generated Push notification.

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
AirPush ads removed. Only two banner ads by admob are being used in this app..

Update will be available to you in few hours or you can download signed apk from the thread's main page :) Thank you :)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Enjoy :)

I see that you are working on a holo theme and 24h format, it's really cool. :good: :good: :good:

I have uploaded the new version 2.0.0 with holo theme :) It would take bit time to get uploaded through out google Play. How ever I have uploaded the screenshots on the thread's main page and uploaded the signed APK there.

I would really like to listen reviews from you for my efforts :)

Little bit further modifications are required like toggle button etc, i will be updating that in next few updates :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
Hmm, it looks slightly holo. I hope it'll look a lot more like a Google app in the future. Maybe some inspiration from Google's clock app, Mailbox (iOS), Any.do and other apps that just look extremely clean and polished. The app has so many perfect features, it just needs to look perfect! :)

Thank you for the effort :)

Sent from ThePureHeart's I9300 Boss Edition
[Android Apps and Games] frwan:
True, good example, i love Mailbox and Any.do UI.

True, you work hard, i just tested the version 2 and i don't have issues for the moment.

I like the new UI, settings are clearer.

I encourage you, completely change the user interface of your application is not easy.

Your efforts will bear fruits :fingers-crossed:

[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
Sorry man, this is not to disappoint you but to share what I believe....

When I first show this app, it was very simple to use app with only 600 kb size. This really impresses me.

Once I asked you to make dark theme, which you denied saying that you have consciously choose colour and things which best suits scientifically any alarm clock app, I appreciated that.

But now seems this app is going away from its original objective....

It crossed 1 mb in size, new white theme....

In short, I am not finding any great difference or attraction from other established alarm clock app.

What I look for any alarm clock app is...

Simplest to add or edit alarm

Simplest to on/off alarm

Gentle wake-up by increasing volume...

Flip to snooze to avoid real interaction with phone...only for snooze...

Limit no of snooze...beyond which you can't use snooze, or flip to snooze. You have only option to open your eyes and dismiss alarm

Thats all.

The feature which was not in my list but I appreciate is speak time after snooze. So, its nice to be there.

Anything else which makes things complicated to be avoided.

Especially don't want to see alarm in notification bar. It only occupies space without any additional use.

This is my wish list, may differ person to person.

You are the one who should decide.Only thing, more people will use this app will have more requests. You should not be biased by what people are asking. You should stick to your original objective of this app.

Best of luck.
[Android Apps and Games] penfold:
why does it need permission to use the camera?
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Thanks for the appreciation. I will try to make it better in future :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
Glad you like my work :)

Due to increasing demand of requests to make it look standard, use standard fonts etc i have to take the decision. How ever i am really worried about app size now :p because using actionbar sherlock has caused an increase in app size.

But after listening reviews from you people, i am bit satisfied. I will further be waiting for your suggestions :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I can understand that increase in size is drastic, but due to large number of requests to make this app look more of standards like changing fonts to Standard TypeFace etc i have to take the decision.

You are right about what i said about doing research, while changing UI, I kept it in my mind to keep it bright so that the whole idea didnt get disappeared.

I have already taken notice on your suggestions :)

I am working on it to make it more quick to set alarms :) As you can see i have added few of the features from your suggestions, like gradual increase, simple On/Off, however i already had thought before about no of snoozes, but what i concluded is that many of us if dont see snooze button, they Stop/Dismiss the Alarm and sleep again. Thats why i didnt added this feature. Atleast if you keep snoozing, you have to do a certain task that will help you to wake up, but if you are feeling sleepy and have reached no of snoozes and then you have to dismiss the alarm and you will sleep again and wnt hear Alarm again :)

Waiting for your suggestions :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
The Camera permission is used due to flashing light effect of this app :)

Thank you :)
[Android Apps and Games] thefinancemaster:
Just installed it, and it looks great. I didn't play with it much because there's no landscape mode that I could see. Auto-rotate would allow me to use your app. I use my phone on a dock, and when I wake up I'm not really awake. It's confusing enough to try to do puzzles to shut off my alarm when I'm not really awake. It will be impossible if they're sideways! LOL :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I didnt made it set to auto-rotate because usually while lying this auto-rotate feature is annoying. And the puzzle is whole concept of this app. If you are a heavy sleeper you can try a small math activity, ascending descending etc task to activate your mind or you can simply disable.

Give it a try for few days and i assure you you wont be disappointed :)

Thanks for the reply..

Suggestions are always welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] ghpk:
Good App,

Certainly "No Bull****" types Android people like the most.

as you asked for suggestion

1). please make a option to disable the "Notification" android 4.1.x can disabled from app properties but it should be custom

frankly I don't wanna see this notification in the bar 24x7.

2). If possible add some more flashy stuff like "Screen Changing Colors" which mix and go instead of Flash, this would also attract the no-camera-flash based phone

3). Multiple Logo's for the main screen.

4). A donate button in menu, if you don't need, have it for some organization which you can support, which will be unique.

Just my 2 cents, if they are worth considering, I'll be glad to see it.
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
I am working on the 1 and 2 features you mentioned.

I think there is no need to add Donate button on this app, I guess a better option would be to launch an adfree Paid version of this app when the app reaches few thousand downloads :)

However i couldnt understand about your 3rd point.

Thanks for the suggestions :)

More suggestions are always welcome :)
[Android Apps and Games] frwan:
I'm waiting for it :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:

[Android Apps and Games] strongiukas:
OK, After setting an alarm for the first time, have some suggestions:

1. Need a settings option to choose between time formats. I use 24h format and I often forget to switch between AM and PM.

2. An option in setting to remove status bar notification.

3. Maybe integration with system's alarm clock???? maybe somehow it is possible.

4. Volume ascending.

5. Of course widget with sleep-time left.

6. When I set up an alarm, and saved it, I tried to edit it and in option "Alarm tone type" was left "None", but ringtone is selected.
[Android Apps and Games] saqibvohra93:
1, 2 and 4 are almost done :) You will find it in a next update :)

There is no use of setting it with system's alarm clock, because system's alarm clock has so less features.

I will make a widget soon :)

and about 6, i will fix it asap :)

Thank you for the suggestions :)
