Set the alarm time in just two seconds. This simple alarm clock app has been designed for maximum ease of use. Set your favorite music as your alarm and wake up happy! ALARM FUNCTIONS: - Snooze (3 - 30 minutes) - Vibration - Fade in alarm OTHER FEATURES: - Sleep timer (sleep music) - 12 hour and 24 hour time format - Vertical and horizontal modes MORNING: Use music of your choice or select one of the preset alarms to wake up happy and smiling. EVENING: Relax and fall asleep to the sound of your favorite song or one of the preset sleep music. APP FEATURES: Unique and intuitive interface is easy to use: launch the app and have your alarm ready in just two seconds. WHY WE DEVELOPED THIS APP: There are many alarm clock apps found on the App Store today. However, most of these require the user to tap through numerous screens just to set an alarm. Also, most of these apps use a built-in widget for the interface, making it hard to interact with them intuitively. If you find yourself regularly changing your alarm time, the existing apps out there are a real pain. That's why we developed this new app, which uses an analog clock for inspiration.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Cuckoo VO at none against One Touch Alarm Clock's shown. Cuckoo VO also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). One Touch Alarm Clock's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
One Touch Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Touch Alarm Clock has 11K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Cuckoo VO's written reviews are positive against 53% of One Touch Alarm Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Cuckoo VO ships an update every 17 months, One Touch Alarm Clock every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
