## What is Alarm Clock?

Alarm Clock turns your iPhone into a beautiful night stand clock.

What some of our 1.5 million customers say:

"Simple and elegant! Crystal clean. Great work"
"Elegant analog style. Fits well with iPhone sleek design"
"Easy to see, easy to use and I like the dimmer"

Also check the Pro Version with advanced features such as music alarm and snooze function.

WAKE UP IN STYLE

There are thousands of alarm clocks available on the App Store, but none has the simplicity, functions and style of alarm clock. The clock really focuses on the essentials. 

ONE TOUCH INTERFACE

With just one touch you can turn your alarm on or off. Simply tap and move the green alarm hand in order to set your wake up time. Setting your alarm has never felt so natural. Just like a classical analog alarm clock, the alarm will go off once the hour hand reaches the alarm hand. 

By swiping down with one finger you can dim the screen. This allows for an undistracted sleep at night.

-Turn on/off alarm with just one tap
-One finger slide for screen dimming 
-Automatic portrait and landscape display modes
-Set alarm time with just one touch
-Also works in the background
-Focus on pure functionality
-Gorgeous clock face design

Note: Please make sure that the iPhone is not muted, when the app is in the background. 

Made in Germany to be enjoyed by you!

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2024-06-21, version 1.4*

Love this because it’s simple and not trying to be anything other than an alarm clock. Does the job very well.

### 2/5 — Clocks change fail.

*2023-10-29, version 1.4*

As British Summer Time ends and the clocks go back I set the alarm for the time I wanted to awake. During the night the iPhone updated to GMT. The clock changed the green hand remained at 8:30 HOWEVER the alarm sounded at 7:30!

### 5/5 — A great clock and alarm!

*2023-03-01*

It’s perfect and amazingly similar to a small Casio travel alarm I previously owned, 
right down to the clock face and alarm.
I highly recommend this app to others needing a dependable alarm.

### 1/5 — Clock has been awesome for years

*2021-12-27*

I use the alarm clock pro for many years on my dedicated iPhone 6. I only use it for the clock function on my nightstand. It stopped working today and I haven’t made any changes to the phone or the app. I went through all of the settings on my iPhone but could not get it to work anymore. I contacted the developer but have not received a reply

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-07-14, version 1.4*

This is repeatedly telling me to ‘Sleep Well’ on a dark screen, in the middle of the day!

What kind of alarm clock if it doesn’t even know if it is day or night 🤣🤣🤣

### 1/5 — Wasted 3 minutes of my time.

*2021-06-09, version 1.4*

0.5 minutes spent on looking for the menu/options, and 2.5 minutes realising that instead of the settings, I’m presented with a link to pro version...
I just hope I don’t have any malware after interaction...

### 5/5 — Clock & Alarm clock

*2021-03-17, version 1.4*

An excellent clock feature, have used it for years without a any problems Well designed Thanks

### 1/5 — Alarm clock one touch basic & pro

*2020-10-28, version 1.4*

Neither one of these work!!! Basic has a better rating than pro. 

DO NOT BUY PRO!!!

You are wasting your money if you buy pro!!!

### 2/5 — Drains battery!

*2020-02-15, version 1.4*

I love the clock face, but I deleted the app because it drains my iPhone battery dead, even when it ran in the background.

### 4/5 — Lovely clock

*2019-05-23, version 1.4*

Downloaded this app as the one I had for 5 years suddenly started showing adverts after an update 
This is a lovely looking clock just what I wanted with no adverts, the reason for 4 stars only is as others have commented the green alarm hand is a little too bright
I have had this clock about 5 years now still brilliant at night when I’m in a hotel but lately the alarm has stopped working
It’s really annoying tried 2 nights running didn’t work either time
