Top 5 Creative iPhone Alarms
SpeakToSnooze Pro
Wake N Shake
Nominated Reason: You have to shake it to turn it OFF The only way to shut it off is by shaking the iPhone like crazy. No snooze button. You can’t lower the volume. It’s an alarm with no mercy. Its a harsh but effective way to wake a person up. I can vouch that this app works after I installed it and showed up to work a half hour early the next day.

Mission Alarm Clock
Nominated Reason: Complete Mission to OFF Think about it, your alarm clock is screaming and you reluctantly stretch your hand out of your warm blanket just to stop it and go back to sleep. It’s too easy and that’s probably why a lot of people are late or rushing out the door in the morning to get to work. However, with this app, the only way to stop this screaming monster is to open your eyes and focus to complete missions like math and shake.

Sol: Sun Clock
Nominated Reason: Best Travel Tool I am going to Thailand next week and this app can show the golden time to take photos outside and the location. Not only is it a handy travel tool, but It also can be a portable alarm clock if you want to wake up when the sun rises to go for an early morning jog.

Rise Alarm Clock
Nominated Reason: One Shake to ON/OFF There are multiple merits for this app, appreciated by Mashable, Fast Company Design, Lifehacker, TUAW, Business Insider, The Loop, App Advice and many more. However, it can be snoozed or turned off by only one shake of the iPhone from lock screen. It also has 3 beautiful large clock styles: Night mode / Skyscape / Transparent (Live camera) with other personalized functions. With 4.5 star with 2353 reviews, it’s well worth the purchase.

Top 5 Free iPhone Alarms
Yocto Alarm Clock
Nominated Reason: 70 Built-in Melodies As the old saying goes, the best way to ruin a song is to set it as alarm melody. I don’t want to ruin my iTunes music and you probably don’t either. This app saves you from having to do that with 70 built-in melodies to wake you up properly. Download: https://itunes.apple.com/hk/app/yocto-alarm-clock/id508107926?at=1000lwqv
iDigital Big
Nominated Reason: Geek’s Favor Both the icon and the description in iTunes are apparently advertising that this app would be the geeks’ favor.

Sleep Time
Nominated Reason: Detect Movements This app has a sensitive ‘accelerato-meter’ which can detect your whole night movements that reflect your phases of sleep. It will then set off a alarm at the suitable moment, automatically.
