Having come across so many different alarm clock apps in the Utilities and Productivity categories of the App Store, I’d have to say that this is almost definitely one of the better developments of its kind.

There have been a couple of complaints regarding the snooze button becoming ineffective when the device locks, so you’ll want to check out the Pros & Cons section below for more information, but aside from that I would very much recommend checking out this app.

Wake Up, It's a Beautiful Morning!

Best Alarm Clock is a wonderful app that has been designed to act as an all-in-one alarm clock and bedside utility.

There are 15 integrated alarm clock sounds to choose from, or alternatively you can import tracks directly from your iTunes Music Library so that you can enjoy waking up to some of your favorite songs every morning.

 

Weather Forecasts, Cool Quotes, and Lots More

On top of acting as a simple alarm clock, this app also provides a detailed weather forecast by using your device’s integrated GPS, and it will also automatically detect and display the correct time in 12- or 24-hour format for your geographical region.

Cons                                                      

• This app has generally been very well received by users on the iTunes description page, although there was one minor complaint that I thought was worth mentioning: “I didn't give it five stars because the snooze failed to work when my phone locked after I hit snooze. You can go into the advanced settings and set the preferences for if/when the phone locks when the program is running and there are seperate settings for on battery and plugged in. But it isn't easy to find the advanced settings. I went in and set it to not lock the phone when the program is running and now the snooze works fine as long as I'm careful not to close the program after I hit snooze.”

 

Final Words

Best Alarm Clock is a very decent iPhone and iPad app that I would definitely recommend taking for a spin.
