Updated my review as iPawn4 in the US Appstore.

I've been using the iPhone version for quite a while now and loving it. It's my stylish alarm clock and monitoring app when I am sleeping. It was fun to know that I make noises when I am sleeping. I am so glad that an HD or iPad version finally comes. Now I can enjoy the app in a bigger and better screen. I can place this beside my bed and use this as my alarm and monitoring app. I also love how you can use built-in music or your own ipod library music to use as a background music when you are going to sleep. Time to put my iphone4 to rest and use this version instead. Thanks!

The best improvement for my sleep is the feeling to wake up in the morning is not that awful like before. Gentle music with right timing allows me to wake up gradually from deep sleep to light sleep to total wake up. The process is smooth and fresh. It will not brings you awake suddenly from deep sleep. Very nice and thoughtful !

Another thing is that I can see what happened during my sleep. Sometimes I just feel tired after waking up but don't know why. Now at least I could tell I didn't sleep tight from the graphic. The recording sensor is sensitive. It generally grab almost all movement at night to graph.

Evenmore comes. There's weather forecast integrated in this beautiful alarm clock. How come!! Just have to say, thank you to bring all necessary features into one app and make this app so great!

Best Alarm Plus
I'm glad this is available for the Pad because so many of the great app are usually only for the IPhone.The name says it all it's a Smart Alarm meaning you get so much more than a great alarm clock, which look great on the IPads large screen.

First off you get different Alarm Modes that registers any and all disturbances while you sleep, monitor sleep cycles, and wake you up before or at the exact time you set. You get different set tracks to use, Chillout tracks which play before you go to sleep, then there's Wake up tracks that can be set to start playing when the alarm sets off, you can set how long they play and even use songs from your IPod as your tracks even Audio books.

The apps records and stores statistics about how you sleep each night , you also get a 24-hour mode and the ability to choose the clock theme and you can select any of your pictures to use as the background.Its a great app I get more than I could ever want in an Alarm

I'm glad it has the snooze function but the one thing missing is the ability to set more than one alarm, also it would be cool if there was a mode that did a slideshow with your pictures for some reason that puts me right to sleep

After bought and tested various sleep cycle app from AppStore , i can say i have wasted quite some money to some bad developers because of their description with actual app performance do not work as claimed but this app is exceptionally good and two thumb up! I have been using this app since the iPhone version for quite sometime and it really works great, i am in marketing job so everyone know marketing job are very stressful , which cause me to have very bad sleep quality and i must say in the past few years i am been very tired because lack of quality sleep till i have to rely on sleeping pills in hope to get more rest but i was very wrong, so i have to stop by my doctor advise.

I came across this app from one of my best friend who also suffer the same thing with me , and decided to try since i have an iPhone that time. The result was seen just after 5 days continuous of using this app during sleep and woke up. Surprised to hear such horrible snoring from myself and i showed this record to my doctor and say this was a symptom of insomnia with prolonged lack of quality sleep.
This app has help me to get over with the biggest problem, adjusting my sleeping time from sleep to wake and some natural music to make my sleep deeper. The nature sound really soothing and nice to hear because before it end i would be deeply in sleep already. This app also record every single noise from my room like people walking outside , when i turn my body , snoring , and my ceiling water pump sound ! All are shown in a neat statistic graph with date and all necessary data.
This app also has a very polished user interface and by far the prettiest i have ever seen to date with a nice weather forecast. Packed with all the goodies plus custom preference to suit every one taste i can say this is an app for everyone.

Hope coming update include some more health related especially stress releasing method, and also the updated retina display for the coming new iPad!! This should be the most anticipated update i am waiting for my coming new iPad next week! A gorgeous display should pair with a gorgeous looking app like Smart Alarm Clock!

Great Health Benefits!

"Being able to optimize your resting time by utilizing useful tools to help obtain healthier sleep habits is what Smart Alarm Clock for iPad is all about. A good example to use here is, if you talk or snore loudly, noises are recorded from your idevice using the application. When the morning time comes, you'll be able to review recorded findings and identify any sleeping disturbances or problems. You can even use Smart Alarm Clock for iPad as an alternative alarm to wake you up with it's included sounds or use your own ipod music, however some more added features in this department such as enhanced snooze options or more varied sounds would be perfect!

The ability to set up various profiles would be a fantastic addtion to this already perfect app. That way if my alarm goes off, my girlfriends is still set and can go off a few minutes or hour later if different from mine!"

Thank you very much for the contest!

Best iPad Alarm Clock App!

Smart Alarm Clock for iPad is a rare great clock app. There may be other apps which provide features like Smart Alarm, but they are usually only designed for the iPhone. This app takes the full advantage of the big iPad screen and proves itself to be a very good competitor.

When I first opened the app, I saw the interface was quite intuitve. You have a nicely designed weather gadget sitting at the left upper corner, albeit it doesn't provide any information about chance a rain (like Magical Weather, which hopefully can be added in the future updates). You can change the themes quite easily. Although the themes are a little limited, you can change the background picture when you tap "Custom Theme".

The most interesting feature is Alarm Modes, which is similar to what the Sleep Cycle alarm clock provide. The app can monitors sleep cycles and disturbing factors while you sleep, and wake you up at the right time or at the exact time you set. However, I don't understand why the designers made four alarm modes, (the full mode requires IAP, but it is quite worth it!!!) which is a bit confusing. As I see it, the app only needs to provide two option:
1. To allow it to record the disturbing factors, or doesn't record anything. (But, of course it will monitor your sleep cycles).
2. To wake you at the exact time you set, or wake you at the right time. (I really want to call this Smart Mode instead of full mode, or sleep cycles alarm mode. Please make it less of a hassel. I don't see why users have to pay again for the "smart" mode if the had already purchased the Smart Alarm. Isn't this business mode absurd?)

The app has two music modes as well. One is chillout mode, which is supposed to be played before you go to sleep. The other is Wake-up mode, which will start playing when the alarm sets off. You can also add own iPod tracks as chillout/wake-up music. Besides, you can purchased sound packages directly from the app, which is very thoughtful.

The best part of the app is the statistics feature. Since it records so many information regarding your sleep, the presentation of such data must be as equally important. The app generates beautiful charts concerning your sleep phases. And these information can even be shared via email or facebook or twitter. I don't suffer from insomnia. But I guess a patient will be glad with this feature, since his doctor can get a professionally looking chart as soon as possible. Smart Alarm will decides the number of light/deep sleep phases you have. This is way more than I'd expected from a clock app. But information as such become very helpful as soon as I start to use this app. I usually overslept on weekends. Now my sleep quality has been significantly improved. I can tell when and how I didn't sleep well directly from the graphic. If you snore too much, the app can also record that.

The overall design of this app are very thoughtful. I am glad to see finally the big screen of iPad is taken seriously for a clock app. Some people might argue that the iPad is not good for being used as a clock. But I think the term post-PC coined by Tim Cook is probably correct. I just can't put down my iPad. And fortunately my bed is not too small to place an iPad. I am sure there are people like me out there. This app does what it says and it has done a splendid work for me. Since Viaden also has an iPhone version of this app, I hope the data of the two app can be synced. Since the iPhone screen is too small to do some complicated statistical analysis, I think the iPad version has a lot potential. I hope the full mode purchase will be removed. But I think the developers can add some IAPs to add features like morning todo list or additional themes or breakfast of the day.

The developers of this app are very thoughtful to make such a thoughtful app. The UI isn't the most sophisticated but it definitely ranks top among its peers. It is packed with soo many features that I had never thought I'd need them one day. But it turns out they help me to live a healthier life. So thank you very much!~

The only alarm app you need

Wow.

If you're like me and have been using the iPhone version of this app, the first thing you notice is how magnificently the developers of this app have incorporated their Smart Alarm clock for the larger, crisper display of the iPad. The interface is brilliant, and the ability to choose your theme for your clock is a welcome addition to the iPad version.

The app provides all the features you would expect from a 'Smart' alarm clock plus much, much more. Other than just being your everyday alarm clock, this app is capable of monitoring your sleep cycle and keeping track of all the sounds made throughout the night you wouldn't otherwise hear. The data is presented beautifully which you can then use to optimise your sleeping environment and schedule.

Best of all there are a large amount of tracks you can use for your alarm. You are not limited to simply the tracks listed, and have the ability to select any track from your music collection! If you decide to, there are also several other tracks you can purchase from as little as $0.99.

A simple suggestion would be for the help page to pop-up when you first use the app, especially the important do's and don't's that would help ensure you get the most out of this app.

Otherwise, this is a fantastic app, and is the only alarm app you will ever need for the iPad! 5 stars!

The functions and settings Smart Alarm for iPad offers are incedible!
You can record your sleeping habits during the night, view charts to identify the algorithms and so much more!

Are you coughing or gasping loudly for breath like me sometimes?
No problem, these things will be detected clearly and will help identify occurrences.

Need a gentle guaranteed wake up call with many customization options?
Smart Alarm for iPad has it all right here!

The sound bar charts it displays are a welcome feature, making it easy to identify the sounds.
Retina graphics are present topping off the level of polish for this app.

Love to see future updates containing more wake up options and sounds.
Adding in a chart or profile that keeps track of your sleep problems over time for monthly averages would be helpful.

My review by AG4S :

It's a great alarm clock, complete with sleep cycle function and daily statistics.
It has a nice interface and a lot of bonus features such as free weather forecast (useful from time to time) and noise recorder.
If the dev wants to give more bonuses, perhaps morning inspiration quotes, infos and faqs about sleeping, and guide for sleeping postures can be added.
Thanks for this wonderful alarm clock.

Awesome alarm for iPad!
I have used smart alarm clock for iphone and now when I saw this app for iPad I immediately bought it, because there are a lot of alarm apps in AppStore but this app is more powerful and functionality than others. The design is great! The app shows a full-screen clock face with adjustable themes: classic, analog and digital. You can change background picture to any photo from your camera library. Weather widget is very cool feature which shows the current weather conditions as well as a forecast for the user’s area for the next 7 days. Also one of the great feature is noise recording. this app allows you to play back the noise disturbances, overlaying the recording with the sleep cycle graph and you can shared stats with friends on Facebook or Twitter. This app contains a lot of chillout and awakening tunes for awakening and falling asleep. you can also own tracks from iPod library. Very cool alarm clock app for iPad! Worth app!
Some suggestions:
- I'd like to see more different types of clock themes, like sand glass, another types of analog and digital clocks.
- It will be great if you add a speaking clock
- More than one alarm and can you make function for each alarm different wakeup tunes

Fantastic Smart Alarm Clock for the iPad!
This app is such a fantastic and amazing alarm clock on the iPad! Definitely the best alarm for the iPad! Even better than the iPhone version as to me myself since no worry about radiation.
This app is so smart that it knows the best time point to wake me up, with various pleasant soft alarm tunes, not simply alarms at the set time like other alarm apps, which greatly improves my sleep quality. Also, the built-in feature which can accurately record the noises and sounds helps to keep track of my sleep cycle and status precisely, and the data visualized in form of graphs are more clear and easy to read on the iPad than the iPhone since a larger screen on the iPad, sweet and super awesome! It's my favorite feature! Helpful and cool!
As it must be mentioned, the user-interface are neat and fresh, makes this app easy to use and work like a charm even for new users. Awesome innovative and humanized design!
Also I am able to show the data off on FB or twitter and share with friends due to the share fuction. Built-in clock with various themes and weather widget is also covenient and considerate!
Now I feel so good and full of energy all day with the help of this app!
Never miss this perfect app If you have ever had difficulties with waking up or getting asleep, this app would be great help!
Highly recommended! Grab it ASAP before its price goes up!

All in one alarm clock!
Smart alarm clock for iPad is an all in one clock that not only keeps track of your sleep cycles but also records all noises that disturb your sleep and show it in form of various graphs so that you can fine tune your surroundings which in turn ensures a healthy sleep. The app has over 20 in built tunes with an option to add your own along with option to share your stats via social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Further the app includes weather forecast and some extra features like Binaural beats and Relaxation sounds can also be purchased via in app purchase.

Some suggestions which I believe if incorporated can make this app even better are:-
1) It would be great if the app offers some sleep tips to promote a healthy, sleep-filled, lifestyle.
2) Some games can be added to increase the versatility of the app like where users try and touch a moving target on the screen right after waking up. If they slept well, they will be more alert and do better playing the game while a lower score indicates a poor night's sleep and grogginess.
3) Lastly it would be great if we had matching background wallpapers (even better if backgrounds could be animated) to the different inapp tracks like fireplace, rainforest, Niagara.

Overall, one of those apps which will become an integral part of your daily routine.

5 star review in the US store by _burn:

This has become my default alarm clock. I have this app for both my iPhone and my iPad and love it. If you can't tell from the screenshots, this app is beautiful. You can tell that a lot of thought went into the design. It's funny, once you get used to using this and you go back and look at the default alarm app you wonder why anyone would use that thing. There is just so much this does ... the awesome sounds they found for it are amazing, the graphics and navigation are just beautiful, the ability to not only wake you up in the morning but it also has relaxing sounds to put you to sleep. One of the greatest things this app does is wake you up at the right time. You give it a window of when you want to get up and it will determine the best time to do so. And it doesn't just blare sounds at you, it starts quiet and slowly increases the volume so you wake up feeling rested.

Speaking of sounds, there are a few awesome games out there that were designed around binaural sounds .... and this app has them. I haven't tried them yet but they're on my wish list!

If I could make a few suggestions:
* I would love a theme that gives the screen real-estate to the weather and has the time in the top right. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, I would use animations to bring in more realism to the weather. Something very similar to Weather HD. It would be so nice to wake up to an image of what it looks like outside instead of the same old clock I've been staring at for years.

* Something I do when I first wake up is check my Facebook feed. Maybe you could incorporate a few options of what to do after you wake up like check the local news, read through your Facebook or Twitter updates, catch up on a few web comics ... basically something that will stimulate you and get your mind functioning before you get out of bed. For me, I have a hard time getting out of bed in the mornings even if I am getting up between sleep cycles.

Having something like "Good morning burn, I hope you slept well. How would you like to start your morning? Could I interest you in a little Facebook, maybe the local news, or perhaps you would like to see what Tycho and Gabe are up to today over at Penny Arcade?" would be awesome.

* Another thing that would be awesome is the ability to sync your settings (wake-up time, sound preferences, etc) via iCloud so you can make a change on the iPhone and have that same change immediately synced to the iPad. For example, I mainly use my phone during the day and if I need to make an adjustment to my alarm it would be nice to make it on the phone and have it automatically synced to my iPad.

The best sleep cycle clock app finally made its way to the iPad. I've been using the iPhone version for a while. With no doubt it is the best sleep cycle clock I've ever used. The algorithm is smart that could track and monitor your sleep cycles and wake me up at the best moment which makes me feel very comfortable. It did a far greater job than other sleep cycle clocks. It also provides you the option to record noise while you are sleeping. You could play it back to track your snores or to find out what may disturb your health sleep. Comparing to the iPhone version the UI looks much better in HD quality. Since it is on a bigger screen more information could be shown. Now it could show your local weather in the main screen along with the big beautiful clock. Also the weather details and 6 days of forecast could be shown in a separate screen. Unfortunately the 'Full Alarm' mode becomes IAP comparing to the iPhone version. The statistics looks better than on the iPhone. It is great that gesture control is provided for iPad version, for example you can slide up & down to make the clock screen lighter or darker.

Some suggestions:

1. Localization is great and accurate which is very thoughtful for non-English speakers. Could you provide more like the iPhone version?
2. Although I could use pics from camera roll as background and the 3 default clock themes are good, it would be better if there are more clock themes.
3. I want more gesture controls. Like slide left & right to make the menu bar/mode bar/calendar bar show up and hide.

Highly recommended if you have an iPad.
