Hey man, I want to thank you for this app, and not just that but i love how you're taking in all the suggestions. Great developer. Will be using this app for a while. thanks

My pleasure! This app is designed for you and I want to make sure you're completely satisfied!

this app is awesome...however is there a setting to make it so i have to press a button to disable the alarm...i think simply moving the phone is wayyy to sensitive...in a half-sleep state i feel like i could easy touch my phone and fall back a sleep...especially if im trying to "wave" and enable snooze

We've tried to make the wave as smart as possible. After a wave, the app waits 5 seconds before trying to recognize a movement for dismiss. The dismiss movement has to be about 1 second long before it'll be enough to cause a dismiss. We tried to make it so that dismiss only happens when you are actually reading your morning scoop or out of bed carrying your phone with you. Try it out and let us know how it works

Can't confirm it right now, don't have my phone, but there is a option to disable the waving feature but im not sure how you would snooze after that..

Correct, there is an option disable the waving feature. When the wave is disabled, you have snooze and dismiss buttons on the screen when the alarm goes off just like stock.

It's important that you let us know how the wave and smart dismiss is working out for all of you. We'd like to get the algorithm pitch perfect so that it does exactly what you want it to do!

p.s. big update planned for sunday

Hello, the app looks really nice and I like the concept, am looking forward to new versions.
Currently, I have the same problems as reported by someone else previously for a custom ICS ROM.

- The ringtone the alarm uses is not the one I choose but the stock one
- Except for the first time I used it, it force closes when snoozing and doesn't show any of the feed selected

Also,

- Calendar did not load when selected to show the agenda
- Would prefer an option to choose the weather display unit (I live in metric land)

there is...my complaint isnt with the waving...its with the touch to disable...im saying in an effort to "wave" to snooze i might accidently tap my phone if im mid sleep...i think a button to disable would work a lot better..simply touching your phone doesnt confirm that you are awake...you dont have to look at or concentrate on anything...thats why a lot of apps have math problems and stuff...im just asking for a button

Hmm... it seems our ICS support needs some serious work. It's strange that it's almost incompletely backwards compatible. Thanks for getting all those bugs pointed out. And weather unit feature will be added, thanks for the suggestion!

No, we're Senti not Sentio, but thanks for bringing them to my attention. They look promising!

I see your point. The dismiss is not a "touch" to dismiss, its a "shake" to dismiss. The shake has been set up so that you cannot accidently dismiss the alarm.

To all ICS users (and anyone else with force closes), I am currently uploading a new version of the apk that will help with bug tracking so we can get those squared away by Sunday. The link is in the OP. Please download the new version and get those force closes popping up! Thanks!

So I let it wake me up this morning. My impressions:

- The wave thing is maybe not as sensitive as I would like. My hand had to be right on top of the phone, nearly touching it, to get the thing to snooze. I mean I can do it, but half-awake me was getting a tad frustrated having to wave it three times at varying heights to get it to snooze.

- As someone else reported, it seems to be playing a stock ringer instead of the one I chose. Doesn't seem to be an ICS problem, as I'm running Touchwiz Gingerbread

- Despite having both Wifi and GPS enabled on the phone, and several widgets I have running that were able to grab the weather okay, the robot voice told me the weather was "unavailable" when I finally dismissed the thing. Where is the weather info pulling from?

- I like the news feed and daily agenda thing. I think it would be cool if it could read your agenda for the day too when it reads the weather, i.e. "Today you have appointment: blah blah blah at 2:30 PM"

What phone model do you have?

The ringtone will be fixed. We've juat been able to replicate the issue. It will be in the sunday update.
The weather is pulled from Google's unofficial weather API. The app currently only uses network location. Looks like we'll add a GPS fall back.

About the voice reading your agenda. We had thought of that but we're not going to implement it yet. Not until we get one of the other voice engines

on board with our app, since the stock voice is really hard on the ears.

doesnt seem like it takes a "Shake" to disable..even if its a 1 sec. touch disable...i think that i would probably grab my phone as a force of habit when it goes off in the morning even if i wanted to snooze...anyway...i suppose its fine how it is...just giving my opinion...a button to disable (while keeping the wave feature) would be great

No problem. We'll work on the dismiss!

P.S. The apk has been updated, so if you haven't downloaded it, please do! We need to get all these force closes completely squared away by Sunday

If you want i can translate the strings into german.

Downloaded testing now, will leave feedback as soon as I'm done testing.

Edit- I tried it out, works smoothly, no force closes. I love the UI, great job with it. Just one thing was bugging me, I just couldn't add a +1min to the time on the alarm clock. Also, there aren't any weather settings. So since I use the Celsius scale in my country, im not familiar with Fahrenheit.

thanks for taking my input into account...glad to see developers listening to the users

Implementation: Naming convention

Will you be implementing the function to Name the different Alarms according to their function ?

Example (8am - Time to get my mail)

So far so good, great job

P.s I have already replaced my stock alarm clock with this, love the simplicity and speed that would be the stand out functions for me!

The Samsung galaxy should have some primo sensors. No worries though, we're adding front facing camera support
in the next update!

Looks like that ICS support will have to be rock solid!

That would be absolutely fantastic! PMing now.

We're working on the +1 min for the next update (currently, you can +1 by tapping on the active 5 minute wedge). Thanks for pointing out the weather. We'll add automatic units in the next update!

Definitely. We're developing for you after all.

We felt that this wasn't a commonly used feature so we didn't add it, because we didn't want to clutter up the UI. But... since you requested it, we'll add it! It'll be an option in the settings

Again, thank you all for the feedback! The people of XDA never cease to amaze me. Rock on you guys, rock on.

I still can't change the alarm sound to say, a song that I have from gosms
When I change ringtones I have the option to use gosms and can get to my music from there, but it never sticks, it stays on my current system ringtone

Not a big deal though, I found a decent enough system ringtone
