Sleep better and start the day with your favorite tunes. Are you curious to see how much you slept? Then, track your sleep in the app. Alarm Clock HD is the app to help you enjoy restful sleep and wake up worry-free. How Alarm Clock HD helps you sleep better: • Unlimited Alarms: Apple Music or Alarm Sounds • Customize Nightstand display colors • Sleep Timer • Local Weather Information • Instant Flashlight - shake the device • Full watchOS 2 support • Screen Saver - for devices with OLED display WAKE UP ON TIME: Proper Alarm Settings • Keep the app open and running always to have your alarm go off and play the sounds you’ve set for ‘Music'. When your app is open, you can use the volume slider within the app. When the app is in the background, use the device volume to set your volume. • Make sure your battery is charged and have your notifications turned on before you go to sleep, when the battery level goes below 30% it might not sound. This is due to prevent the device from dying and the alarm not going off. • Keep your Apple Music available on your device The music you can select consists of everything you have available on your ‘Apple Music' app on your device. If the music is saved on your iCloud, and not on the device itself, it won’t be available. NEVER MISS AN ALARM When you close the app and do not have it running in the background, the alarm will use the device volume instead and play the notification sound system. The app will close itself automatically after 10 hours of inactivity. This is due to prevent the device from dying and the alarm not going off. When your device is muted, set to ‘Do Not Disturb’, or your device volume is set to 0, the alarm won’t play properly. It will still show the notification without any sound. This is due to Apple’s restrictions as we are unable to access the app settings when the app is closed, only when it’s open or running in the background.

This is an all-in-one clock learning app for children that includes a clock, alarm, and timer. We also recommend this app for seniors who are looking for a clock app with a large display that is easy to read. By using this app with your child, they will naturally acquire a sense of time and will be able to act calmly. They can also learn how to read a clock correctly. We hope you will make use of this app at home and at school. [ MAIN FUNCTIONS ] - Clock Both analog and digital clocks are displayed in large size and are very easy to read. There are various functions that are useful in learning how to read a clock, such as dragging the hands of the clock with your finger to move them freely and switching the clock display mode with a single button. - Alarm The alarm screen displays both the current time and the scheduled time, making it easy to keep track of the time remaining until the scheduled time. Each alarm can be assigned an easy-to-understand label and image, so it can be used as a simple scheduler. - Timer The timer features a circle-shaped meter display for easy visualization of remaining time, and four buttons for quick and easy time setting. - Customization The settings screen allows you to customize all functions related to the clock in detail. You can also choose your favorite design from more than 10 different color themes. It is also possible to adjust the color of the text, the color of the hands of the clock, etc. [ TARGET USERS ] The main target users are between 4 and 12 years old, but the app was developed to be easy to use for people of all ages, from small children to seniors. The app is also compatible with various accessibility features, so we hope that it can be used as a support tool for people with disabilities. [ NOTES ] - When a small child uses the app, please use it with parents or guardians until the child becomes accustomed to its operation. - If Focus mode is ON in the device settings, the alarm sound will not sound. In that case, please register this app as an app that allows notifications in Focus settings. - For convenience, the app does not automatically sleep while the clock, alarm, and timer are in operation. Please be aware of the remaining battery level, etc. This function can be turned off in the settings within the app.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Alarm Clock HD at Free against Learning Clock Timer's $3.99. Alarm Clock HD also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 24 months). Learning Clock Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
