Alarm Clock Connect Wakes You To The Information You Want - Plus A Chance To Win A Copy
August 14, 2010
What if you not only had an alarm clock that allowed you to wake up to any of your iTunes songs but also gave you a quick look at all of the important information for the day? Alarm Clock Connect by McLean Mobile Solutions wakes and provides you with weather, calendar events, latest social networking news, and even a sticky note reminder to help you begin the day well informed.
The alarm clock feature is exactly what most would expect. Set as many alarms as you want, with the choice to pick which day(s) of the week they repeat. As an alarm, choose any song, podcast, or audiobook in your music library, or one of the six included musical shorts: acoustic, groovy, lightspeed, salsa, rock, and annoying. Alarm Clock Connect even utilizes iOS 4's local notifications to allow the alarm to sound if you close the app.
Along with the typical alarm sound, you can have a sticky note message appear on-screen for a specific reminder. After you manage to open those eyes and finally glance at your iDevice, you'll be able to quickly check your to-dos and what's going on in the world by simply swiping left or right. View any events you have set in the Apple Calendar app, see the current weather and immediate forecast, and even check out the latest post on your Twitter and Facebook feeds.
We're not completely through yet. To dim the screen when leaving the app open over night, just swipe to the very left pane. One last feature to mention, there is a built in sleep timer for those who prefer to listen to music to fall asleep.
Things to note. You can only use one of the built-in musical chimes when utilizing the out-of-app notification system for the alarm. Waking up to your own music requires that you leave the app open. You'll want to connect your phone to the AC adapter if you plan to leave the app run all night. Finally, Alarm Clock Connect requires iOS 4 and is designed for use on iPhone and iPod touch.
