## Description

Simple Alarm Clock makes waking up effortless. Set an alarm by selecting a time and you’re done. The app groups options by meaning—pre-alarm for a gentle wake-up, repeat intervals, and multiple ways to dismiss—so the essentials stay simple. It also includes reminders and a built-in calendar to track tasks and events, plus a countdown timer to know exactly how long until the alarm rings. With one-tap cross-device sync and customizable themes, you can tailor it to your routine.

Extra options give you flexibility: play any melody or a random track from a folder, dismiss by flipping the phone or using volume buttons, a gradual volume pre-alarm, and a vibration-only mode for silent mornings. Simple Alarm Clock is designed to make mornings easier and your days more productive. Developer: Maxim Kazantsev.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise Simple Alarm Clock for its minimal, easy-to-use design, reliability when it works, and features like gradual wake volume and customizable snooze. However, multiple reviews flag reliability issues, update-induced regressions, and usability frustrations (small snooze button and hidden options). The app shines in simplicity and wake-up control but suffers from intermittent reliability and consistency problems after updates.

### Pros

- Simple, minimalistic design that is easy to use.
- Reliable wake-up when it works; often more dependable than the OEM clock.
- Gradual/soft-start wake volume that eases waking.
- Highly configurable snooze and alarm settings (flexible intervals and durations).
- Pleasant sounds and useful widgets/visuals.

### Cons

- Alarm sometimes fails to go off or wake you; reliability is inconsistent.
- Update regressions that affect alarm dismissal or require unlocking the phone.
- Snooze/dismiss UI usability issues (small snooze button, hard to tap when half asleep).
- UI changes after updates hide or move features, making them harder to find.
- Older versions limited snooze to 1 hour, reducing flexibility.
