What makes this different from the rest? Travel Clock Pro is more than an alarm clock. I travel quite a bit to different locations and found the alarm clocks to be quite lacking. So we gathered all the things together that would make a great alarm clock and created Travel Clock Pro. Travel Clock Pro is NOT a background alarm app. It is designed to be running while plugged in, similar to a regular alarm clock. What it IS NOT is a replica of those annoying bedside alarm clocks that you can never figure out and are left wondering if you even have to the time set right, is the alarm even on, did you get AM or PM right , or if it does go off you won't get blasted out of bed with whatever music the hotel maid was listening to! So what does it do? It is designed to be easy to use. Get up everyday at the same time? Sure. Once you set your alarm, just launch the app and its ready to go. If not, quickly set the alarm time with one button push. Easy to read display showing you everything without looking like a searchlight next to your bed. Date, day, time, timezone you are in. Time at home. Your alarm time. On, Off, snoozing? How much time is left until it goes off? All there in one glance. Too bright still? Simply slide your finger up and down the face to change that. The alarm goes off with everything you need to start your day. Weather for your location. News from your favorite RSS source that you can browse through and read. Do nothing and it will reset to snooze if you have it set on. (have you tried "inspiration" yet?) Hate it when the outlet you are plugged into to charge your phone goes out when you turn off the light in your hotel room? Phone dead in the morning? Yeah we hate that too and monitor for it. One of the many things this app does. You can easily set what you want to wake up to from the built in alarms, have it talk to you (try the "inspiration" setting!), or if you upgrade to pro, your iTunes library. Also with the pro upgrade pick your color, font, display options, and favorite news feed or use your music library for your alarm sound. This basic version is free so what do you have to lose!
