Precise and easy to use!
Smart alarm clock is all in one clock that not only keeps track of your sleep cycles but also records all noises that disturbs 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. The newly added meditation audios and Binaural beats is also a welcome change. I would love to see some clock themes as well as option to set multiple alarms being added as future update. Overall, one of those apps which will become an integral part of your daily routine.

Since the apps are identical, I left the same review for both.

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!

I love having this on my iPhone but I use the one on my iPad the most since it has a weather feed on it. It's nice knowing exactly what the weather is like right when I wake up. Sure, I could open another app, but it's much more convenient having it right there. Besides, I'm usually using the iPad at night anyway so it's just right there.

If I could make a few suggestions:
* 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.

Smart Alarm Clock is the only alarm clock you'll ever need! It does practically everything: tracks your movement, records any sleep disturbances, and wakes you up on time feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. I enjoyed the numerous features this app provided, including the ability to choose preloaded nature sounds or music from your library as your wake up call. It was great that alarm gradually increased volume, instead of just immediately blasting into the air.

That being said, there are a few minor recommendations that I would make for this app. I think that it would be helpful to have the ability to manually preset the snooze time for the alarm. I would also like to see the integration of multiple alarms in the future. I would also recommend the addition of the ability for users to switch between digital and analog style clocks; I would much rather prefer the digital style since it is easier to view and process.

Overall, Smart Alarm Clock is a great alarm clock, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for help waking up in the morning.

The best sleep cycle clock I've ever used.
The UI is very beautiful and localization is great and accurate which is very thoughtful for non-English speakers. 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 healthy sleep.
The full alarm mode is great and it is free for the iPhone version.
Highly recommended.

I have used the iPad version before. Now I have the app in my iPhone4.

The app has a very cool UI. You can use the app as an alarm clock or an app to help you get asleep. You can choose the built-in sound tracks or music from iPod Library. You can also buy sound track packs as In-App-Purchase.

The basic and the smartest function is the alarm. You can use it to record sleeping sounds as well.

In a word, the app is excellent and I highly recommend it to you all because it's only 99 cents!

Some Suggestions:
1. When switching tabs in the app, sometimes there's a sound effect, however, when you switch quickly, the sound will disappear.
2. When switching tabs in the app, you can always see the system volume icon shows up. It is annoying.
3. When changing the alarm mode, the descriptions cover the time table in the background.
4. Add language switch in the app. Now the app detect system language and there's no way to edit the app language unless change the system language.
5. Add preview of all song packs.
