Complex? YES. Amazingly versatile? Double YES. Worth the price tag? Triple YES.
I took a long time wish-washing back and forth before finially deciding to purchase Alarm Clock Pro instead of some other alarm clock app. I cant speak for or against any of the other options out there, but Im LOVING Alarm Clock Pro. Yes, its slightly complex, but I didnt have any trouble figuring it out or setting it up to do what I needed.
The best part about Alarm Clock Pro is that it can do almost ANYthing. Seriously. Anything you need a reminder for, you can pretty much do it, and can have it execute the reminder/alarm in almost any way you can think of. Prefer your alarms to be visual in nature? No problem. You can set the alarm to pop up a visual reminder that takes over your entire screen. No way you can miss that reminder (unless youre not at your computer, of course). Want it to be audial in nature instead? Record yourself telling you what you need to do, then point Alarm Clock Pro at that file and it will have it play whenever you want it to. Worried that you wont be able to hear it over other apps? Not a problem either. You can have ACP turn down or mute the volume on the other apps first. Want to have your alarms/reminders be BOTH visual and audial? No problem.
You can also set your alarms/reminders to repeat every day, or week, or month, or hour, forever. Or you can set reminders for just today, or tomorrow, or whenever. You can have them repeat or not repeat as often as youd like.
At first I just wanted to set it up to remind me to take my medications, but now I use it for all sorts of things. I work for myself, at home, so I dont have a lot of external things going on around me to remind me what time it is, so Ive started uing it to me keep certain daily routines, or remind me that you need to stop working early today because Ive got to pick up my kid earlier than usual. Seriously, anything I need to have a reminder for, from the most mundane to the most important, it can do and do it in multiple ways. It has become an invaluable app to me and Im sure theres plenty I havent even realized I can use it for.
