The only thing that I did not like about this Windows 8 alarm clock app is the sound that we receive when the alarm goes off. It’s definitely not loud enough to wake you easily. You have to sleep alerted which is of course not possible. Hence, I am going to miss this app. Well, I have a got a very deep sleep, its impossible for this alarm clock Windows 8 app to wake me up.

Also, the app comes with advertisement that can be removed. As you click on the arrow to change the clock skin, the last page will come with an option to remove ads. However, you need to pay a small amount for getting it done.
