AppWatch Review

     Everyone needs a way to wake up in the morning. Our old reliable friend the alarm clock has been by our bedside for many years. It serves us well despite the obligations it forces us to awake to, leaving our dreams behind. Luckily, technology always finds a way to take what exists and improve upon it. Unfortunately, most phone alarm apps are not really as simple or efficient as they could be. That is why you should look no further than the SleepControl app made in Germany. It is designed to make setting your alarm a cinch. We tried it out dozens of times and can set an alarm in around 3 seconds on average. This easily makes it the fastest alarm app out there.

     You can customize the app by changing the color. For example, you could set the theme to be red to communicate a sense of urgency, or blue to lessen the blow of your wake up chime. Speaking of chimes, does that standard ding not ring with you? Integrate your iTunes music to decide what you wake up to. With its professional battery management function the app will trickle charge your phone overnight while it is plugged in, allowing your device to charge slowly to improve battery life. If you're having trouble saving battery life the app offers advice on how to preserve it. It also monitors power usage and calculates remaining battery and charge time. If the current battery level is not sufficient for the active alarm, SleepControl will initiate the battery emergency alarm or put the iPhone in a power saving mode to schedule a background alarm.

     The SleepControl app is available on iPhone and iPod touch devices for free with in-app purchases. Search for SleepControl in the appstore to download yours today.
