Ultimate alarm pro

Ultimate alarm pro an Alarm and reminder application application built for WP7.5 .I am going to describe something about this application.

Ultimate alarm pro has some incredible features that no other alarm application has for wp7. It is built using silverlight and C#. Some of the features of this application are as follows:

Pop up alarms : When you set an alarm a Pop up comes up playing the alarm tone. Now if you tap the pop up it will take you to Today’s portfolio which has every feature that you require after an alarm.

Unlike many alarm applications that require you to keep the application open and keep the phone plugged in as it drains the battery this application does not require this. You can set the alarm and and close the application. So basically your BATTERY IS NOT DRAINED.

Sleep Timer

My favorite of all the features. Many of us want to listen to some music before going to sleep. Sometimes I jus sleep with music on and the next day morning I find there is nothing left in the battery. Very annoying. So here is sleep timer. Listen to the songs in your phone set a time and start the timer the application will automatically stop playing the music and exit. So again No BATTERY DRAIN

Wake up test:

Even if the alarm is there we just press something and go to sleep again. So here is wake up test. If you enable this feature from settings then the app will keep playing the alarm tone till you pass the wake up test. The test is that you have to enter a number that is displayed on the screen randomly in a small size. So its mandatory you wake up and enter the number.

Today’s Portfolio

Today’s portfolio is the page which displays everything you need after an alarm occurs:

1. Weather and time : App reads the time and weather as soon as you come as soon as you tap the pop up (If you have enabled it). Weather is got using yahoo weather api.
   
2. Calendar entries : It displays the calendar entries of that day since you may want to have a look at what’s lined up for that day
   
3. News : Read the headlines offered by Bing  Top 10 headlines are displayed her.
   
4. Alarm associated reminders : Sometimes we need to do something important the next and definitely we don’t want to forget that. So while setting the alarm tap on the associate a reminder and that will be displayed as a message here. So with this you are permitted to forget it as the app will remind you

That’s not all there is a lot more.

Favorite alarms
