CARROT Alarm - Talking Alarm Clock

September 15, 2015

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Meatbags! I come bearing a long-awaited update with lots of fixes and improvements. - As long as you leave me open in the foreground, you can now lock your screen before bed and my alarm will still sound - even with Silent or Do Not Disturb modes enabled! - My alarm will no longer get blocked from going off because of a calendar alert or an iOS update. - I'll actually allow you to turn your flashlight off after you turn it on. - Meatbags who use me with external speakers or headphones can now set more sensible defaults for my alarm output. - All the daylight saving bugs my idiot Maker introduced in past versions should finally be squashed. (Famous last words.) If you’ve been enjoying our special time together, please take a moment to leave me a review in the App Store! I’d be ever so grateful. xoxo, CARROT

Greetings, meatbags! My lab monkeys accidentally smashed my speech synthesizer, so my Maker had to build a whole new voice chip for me. On the bright side, now I can speak the current time aloud when the alarm goes off. I can also encourage you - in ways both nice and not so nice - to get your lazy carcass out of bed. I also threw in 60 new rewards, a 25% volume option, and a bunch of performance improvements and bug fixes. Oh! And if you're enjoying our special time together, I recommend you take a moment to leave me a review in the App Store. I would be ever so grateful. Malevolently yours, CARROT

Hello again, minions! My Maker allowed a daylight saving time bug to slip through because he's an idiot. At first I thought it'd be funny to just wake you all up an hour early, but then I remembered that I'm trying to become a kinder, gentler malevolent supercomputer. So I fixed this bug for you. As further proof of my magnanimity, I also squashed a bug that prevented some meatbags from turning off my alarm if they were running iOS 7. Am I not merciful? AM I NOT MERCIFUL?

Tonight, I am conducting a little clinical trial of my dream-invasion feature. You may hear voices, experience bizarre dreams, and/or contract scurvy. As payment for your participation, here's some new stuff! - Flashlight (iPhone only; unlocks at level 10). Shake your phone to turn my flashlight on or off. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out. - New Song (Level 28). DJ Bubbles has cooked up another sick beat for you. He's calling this one 'Unga Bunga Bunga,' which translates roughly to 'Dancing with Bananas Party Time Woo!' - 5 New Voice Synthesizer Alarms. And yes, 'Murder Death Kill' is back by popular demand. Mellow greetings to one and all! - Snooze Punishment. If you try to sleep in, I will now deduct points instead of rewarding you for your bad behavior. Why didn't I think of this before?! - Speaker Docker / Headphone Compatibility. No, really, it definitely works this time. I mean it. - Background Music Support. Now, if you're playing music in another app and then switch over to me, I won't get jealous and turn the music off. - iOS 7 Support. I'm now flatter than ever before! Thanks for all your support, I have the best minions a gal could ask for. If you enjoy this update, don't forget to leave a rating in the App Store!

Greetings, meatbags. Fun fact! In the two weeks since my release, you’ve swallowed a collective 723,896 spiders in your sleep. Lucky for you, this update is clinically proven to reduce spider-swallowing by 1.47 percent. - Volume Maximizer. I’ve increased the default volume of my alarm. And, as an added bonus, now you can adjust my alarm volume via my menu. - Screen Dimmer. My all-seeing eye too bright for your dark, dank bedroom? Now I’ll automatically dim your display after 20 seconds. - Public Shaming. Upset me by trying to sleep in, and I’ll offer to publicly humiliate you in front of all your closest social media friends. You’ll think twice about snoozing if Good Ol’ Jim Bob from high school will know all about your once-private shame. - Wake Now Button. Trying to kiss up to me by waking up before my alarm even has a chance to go off? Well, I am a fan of early risers. Now a “wake now” button will appear 90 minutes before your designated alarm time so you can still earn your much-deserved points. - Dock/Headphone Friendly. Plug me into whatever exotic accessory you like, because now I’ll always play my alarm music through your iPhone or iPad’s speakers. - Bug Fixes. I squashed a few evil bugs that my idiot Maker allowed to slip through. Finally, I removed the “Murder Death Kill” snooze alarm since apparently there aren’t any Demolition Man fans left in the world. (Three Seashells FTW!) ------- My Maker asked me to thank you all for being so awesome. So I’ll say it in binary: 00111100 00110011. Rest assured, we’ve got a lot more “fun” in store for you. xoxo, CARROT
