Ok I'm up. Voice recognition is hit or miss. I told her to snooze -snooze for 10 -please snooze - for the love God snooze -I'm going to throw you against the wall. Then I reached to grab my phone and she snoozed. So wave to snooze works great

Hi,

I did what you asked:

Removed new beta installation, installed old version from Market, configured settings and updated to new beta version. Did not go so smooth :


1. New alarms where also still on AP/PM -format/mode(i had already checked option for 24 hour clock mode). I needed to remove old alarms before 24h mode activated.
1. Old alarms where still on AM/PM -format
3."Alarm activated" speech everytime i create a new alarm, i had disabled "voice" from options menu.
4. Most important, I tested if alarm/wake to snooze would still work(as somebody reported some FC-problems) and it was OK.

So, maybe there is an issue with configuration settings between old and new version ?

This made us laugh histerically.
We're just adding it to the tutorial right now, but voice command works on pickup. :X

Oy looks like it'll have to land tomorrow.
It'll be the same link.

We just changed the API key, so it won't be loading anymore for the current beta version which has the deprecated API key.

Hi, cant wait to try out the new version.

I really like this software, much more gentle alarm clock than the others. Also, wave to snooze is just brilliant(i wonder why nobody else has thinked about this earlier).

There is only one problem, its too easy to snooze(almost didnt get to work in time after waved 4 times in a row) =)
Maybe I need to set alarm to go off little earlier so I can do more waving :p

You guys are too funny :D


Just a quick update. I've got an anatomy practical followed by another 4 hours in the lab. I'll be out at 5. We're just about done with the update. We'll be sending it out around 7:00 (11 hours from now) provided everything goes smoothly. :D

Any news?

On my case, there is no rush with new version as this beta works so well(I dont use voice commands). But it is nice to have latest version to play with.

Voice recognition works on pickup. We smoothed it out pretty well. There was no other way :(

Fixed. It was a bug for 2.1-2.3 devices. I'm surprised you all aren't on ICS already. I thought this was XDA :p

    Wayk is back!

    Wayk - Play Store Link - Mobile - $4

    Got any ideas, suggestions, fixes?

    //////////// WE'RE BACK!

    Hello again everyone!

    After a far too long hiatus building out the Whisper app, (whisper.sh, check it out). We're back for some Senti madness. We've learned a hell of a lot over the past year and are ready to drop some delicious app goodness on you guys. We started by rebooting Wayk. We rebuilt Wayk from the ground up to be a lean, mean, Wayking machine. It's working wonderfully, and we're soft launching this puppy one more time. We've got some sweet features and upgrades in store for you guys and just can't wait to get it all out!

    Glad to be back,
    Cheers!

    Hi everyone,

    This is Zed, a noobie developer at Senti. We just soft-launched our first app and I wanted this wonderful community to help us test it out and gather feedback before we started to promote this bad boy.

    The app is called Wayk. What we've done is try to completely revamp the way you interact with your alarm. We've created an actual wedge clock that makes setting most alarm times only two taps away. We've also made it so that you just have to wave your hand over the phone to snooze it in the morning. You're greeted with a voice response. We've added your calendar and news feeds for you to read when you wake up in an easy to read format.

    We've got a lot to add to this app, but we wanted to guage your interest before putting in the time, because we do have quite a few apps in the labs right now.

    We'd really appreciate bug reports, feature requests and improvements you might have!

    Thanks!


    P.S. You can see screenshots in the market description or on our website http://senti.in

    Looks cool, will also test tonight.

    Edit:

    Downloaded, installed without a problem. Ran a test alarm. Initially very impressed with the app design and modern style. The wake up voice addressing you by name and telling you the weather and opening Cnet was awesome. The swipe to snooze feature works for the most part. In the morning in a groggy state I don't see it working well enough to be as convenient as a quick mindless swipe, you would actually have to make sure to slowly go directly over the sensor for it to trigger properly. However I need to actually sleep and then try it before I make any real comments.

    The only negative things were that on my mdpi HTC Aria on cm 7.2.0 the first pane of the tutorial goes below the viewing area and you cant swipe down to see it and cant go landscape. Also that on the alarm time set screen with the radial menus, the listed alarms and times go below the viewing area so that to save and finish the alarm you need be careful not to mess up your alarm settings while doing so which I did a couple of times on accident.

    Also, on the radial menus you can set any time by five minutes, but how do you set them to any number in between? For example I want to set an alarm for 7:33 in the morning, so I tried messing with the smallest inner circle bar and could barely ever get it to move when I wanted it to and ended up going to another interval five minutes later.

    Overall really impressed over the improvements from the default alarm. Will try tomorrow in a real sleep and then wake up setting to see if everything is still good.

    Love the app so far.
    Just did a quick test to see if it works, and it does.
    It did have a problem loading my Calendar, it just said Loading...
    The waving thing worked :D

    Some suggestions:
    I really like how to overall UI looks, when you start the app it shows ALARMS in a organized manner and thats really good, but when the alarm actually rings, I think you should change the sign from the sun to something else, or that in HD because it showed up really LOW res on my phone.
    Also Make the MENU button options icons like NEW ALARM, SETTINGS etc. a better suited color. Green,red, etc does not look good on this simplistic white/blue UI.

    Another problem; When selecting what time the alarm should be go off on, we cannot choose by exact minutes, or am i doing something wrong? You should probably add the feature to just press the [TIME] and keyboard pops up and then you can customize the time.


    Also how does the voice work? I'm going to sleep right now, and do not want a weird voice talking to me and freaking me out in the morning so i've turned it off for now, but i'll report on it later.

    edit: also you should probably add a alarm clock icon to the notification bar and make it optional to remove/keep it so people know if the alarm is active or not.
