What is the best alarm app for iphone 5? - 1

I want an alarm app that will just wake me up in the morning. I'm not a heavy sleeper, i don't want to track my sleep, and i don't want a complicated app. When i had an android one of my favorite things about it was the alarm clock, (sorry apple, your clock sucks.) I'm okay with buying an app, but i want a guarantee that it:
-has customization or soothing noises to wake up to
-can be set once then i never have to worry about setting it again or leaving the app open over night
-(this is optional) a volume override, if i forget to turn my phone off silent, the alarm will still go off in the morning.

Gonna ask a stupid question, but have you tried the Alarm that comes with the iPhone? No other app needed. Just click on the "Clock" app, select the "Alarm" tab, and then you can set a number of different alarms, such as one that wakes you 7 days a week, or just on weekdays. You can have more than one alarm, you can select the sound from any of the ring tones on your phone, and there's an option to allow or not allow a snooze button.

I don't believe that you need to leave the clock app open, just set the alarm to active.

As for a silent mode override, I'm not sure any of the apps are allowed to do that. You'd have to see if that's even possible. My impression is that the silent mode is meant precisely to prevent sounds from happening no matter what. But since you say you are not a heavy sleeper, if you leave the phone beside your bed on a night table, the sound of the vibrating phone on the wood is probably enough to wake you.

  • Will my iphone alarm still go off when i have an app running overnight? I've had sleep cycle on my phone for around 5 months now, but I haven't had the chance to try it out yet. I'm normally a very heavy sleeper and I have to get up super early in the morning which makes me even more sleepy. I want to see if it will work for school or if my 4 normal alarms will wake me up.
  • Which free iphone alarm app has snooze on a locked screen? I just can't seem to find any, I want to lock my phone at night but I want the snooze button to appear without me having to unlock it and everything
  • Perfect alarm app for iPhone ios8? Looking for an app for iOS 8 for my iPhone 6s that does the following: 1. Alarm starts of very low and slowly gets louder 2. Works when app is closed 3. Works when phone is locked 4. Works when phone is in silent mode same as the iphone's built in alarm app 5. Easy to shut off without having to unlock phone, open app etc. Searching the iOS App Store is terrible and Google hasn't helped. I'll pay whatever the app costs.
  • Is there an alarm clock app for iPhone that launches a radio app? I like to listen to a morning radio station on the Radiopup app and need an alarm clock that can launch that app. I have Radiopup set up to automatically launch to the station but need an alarm clock to launch Radiopup. There may be times where I want to wake up to Pandora, iHeart radio, or TuneIn. Does anyone know an app that will launch another app?
