Is your iPhone your alarm clock?

I use my iPhone stock app (marimba) as a back up due to crazy weather & in case I forget to set my traditional alarm. I love beging able to set a repeat alarm Monday-Friday....no need to set the iPhone alarm each day. Note: on company paid hoildays i had to remember to turn the alarm off the day before :eek:. I also use the timer option to keep track of my lunch hour.

My phone is my only alarm.
I use the stock app.
I used music to create some custom tones to use. I like to be gently woken up, not startled.

For everything except work. I use a normal alarm clock for days I have to work and my alarm clock on my iPhone as a back up in case power goes out or whatever else.

Yes. I use my phone for my alarm clock. I quit using snooze after I kept turning my phone alarm off, so I have a new idea...

Each one has a different ring tone for an alarm. When I get to Celtic Woman, I know I'm screwed and about to be late for work.

Beautiful Clock Radio

I use to use the stock app for my alarm but have moved on, I now use Beautiful Clock Radio, It is much better in my opinion. Easier to set, easier to turn alarm on or off. I use it to listen to my radio station and see the weather. My alarm sound is KPCC or sometimes I use the BBC to wake up to, i like hearing the morning news, it helps get me out of bed!

you can see some info here,

i use it as my alarm and switch between the stock app and Alarm Clock for the nice time display. I recently downloaded Wave Alarm for the function of waving across the phone to snooze. Pretty cool. Oh and I usually use a custom sound set very low with vibrate because I prefer to only have vibrate as my alarm but it's not an option with the stock app :(
