Off-label use in meetings and lectures to avoid disruptive alarm sounds
Great app. I use the green alarm needle as an end-of-meeting marker that is easy to view without distracting other meeting members. For example, if the meeting is supposed to ends at 2:45 pm I set the green needle to the 9 position on the dial. I can then with just a glance easily judge how close the current time is to the scheduled meeting end. I do not want an alarm to sound at the meeting end time, as this is disruptive and frankly rude. I can gently and politely announce the meeting end when the minute hand meets the green needle marker.
I also use each alarm in an analogous fashion to mark the end of my lectures. I do not want to use a sound alarm because students are prompted by the ringing to stop paying attention and start storing books and electronic tablets in their backpacks. This cause an unwelcome sudden disruption in the lecture room, where chit chat background sounds become prominent. The NN Alarm allows me to be visually aware of how close I am to the end of the lecture, allowing me to make timely final statements free if background disruptions. As I teach 3 lectures, each one ending at a different time, the availability of 3 alarms allows me to set an end-of-lecture marker for each lecture
Request for improvement: the green needle does not align perfectly with the white marks in the clock face in my iPhone XR. For example, if I try to align the needle with the rectangular tick mark corresponding to 9 on the dial, the green needle will leave either the upper or lower part of the white tick mark exposed, even if the digital alarm read out shows exactly 9:00 pm. Although this mismatch does not matter if the only objective is to get a sound to ring at exactly 9pm, it reduces the quality of the app interface and suggests an undeserved perception of lack of workmanship and lower quality standard. The visual mismatchMakes their user wonder whether the alarm has been set at 9:00, 8:59, or 9:01 pm. I hope you can fix this problem.

App does not seem to work
Keep getting error msg saying alarm could no be set
Spg
The app needs an update: you can’t add background pictures to the clock on iOS 14. (Using an iPad Air 2). Can you fix this please?
Great Clock App!
Definitely one of the beat clock apps to be had!
Background setting
Cannot set background. Just getting a cropping screen and the app hangs.
Tried putting it on iPad and the same problem. It just doesn’t work.

I can’t get the alarm to set 😞
Light and practical
Good app
Phew!
What a huge relief to find an analogue alarm clock in amongst such a plethora of digital bells and whistles. I’m a tremendous fan of practically everything the digital age has to offer; I could cheerfully spend all day and night excavating the gold mine of the internet, and I cannot resist gadgets. It’s just a great pity that I’m too old to work in the computer industry!
However! I’m afraid that digital alarm clocks (or anything that tells me the time in a digital format) are simply WRONG, and no amount of money/free holidays/bribery will persuade me otherwise. I know exactly what the time is when I look at a real (analogue!) clock face, because of the shape the hands make. Show me a timepiece like this 🕒 and it shouts 3 o’clock - show me a timepiece like this “15.00” and it doesn’t even whisper 3 o’clock. It says “fifteen hundred”, and that’s a totally different time.
So thank you for providing me with a method of seeing the real shape of time.

Great
Does exactly what I want and not too bright to disturb my sleep
Stupid 9 minute snooze feature
Was looking for an alarm clock app that doesn’t conform to Apple’s ridiculous in un-customizable 9 minute snooze alarm. Guess I didn’t find it here with this app, which is a shame because it’s a nice design. I want my snooze alarm set at 10 or 15 minutes. These people are really going to tell me I can’t have it and force me to conform to Apple’s sense of nostalgia based antique mechanical clock design? Seriously?

Screen Burn.
Really good app, just wondering if it will cause “Screen Burn” if left on for long periods?
Hi
Two things needed to make this alarm clock perfect multiple alarms at the same time off and snooze button. Other than that I like it. Oh and one more thing repeating days
Great app
Great app! But could you include vibration.to make it perfect.regards Tom
Effective without clutter
This is simple and effective without a bunch of unnecessary clutter.

Very nice
Not as bright as some others. Looks great and sounds great. I love that I can put my own background
Simple & Easy
Love the clock and alarm but it dims out in the middle of the night. If I wake up in the middle of the night and want to know the time, I must fumble in the dark to find my phone. The app needs an option to leave the screen in all night. Love the dimmable screen option!!
No gradual alarm
I got this app because I thought I could do a gradually increasing alarm with it, but it didn't do it at all, even though the appropriate setting was on. It also only worked when the phone was unlocked and in the app. Any other time it would send me a silent notification that I had an alarm - not very useful! Nice sounds though, and a simple and attractive interface.
