The "Stop" button, used when testing, needs to be more... conservative. Until I click "Set Alarm" I have no idea what those icons at the bottom do. Title them so that I can also click them. It will save users a bunch of time. I know I shouldn't, but if I type www.sleep.fm/[special_char] I get a 503 page. Make that fancy or forward it with htaccess. I really like the voice, as well as, it telling me my flight, weather ect. All of that is awesome.

Hi thanks so much for the feedback. Re: icons at bottom yeah they are just static - they add color to our dark design. Though I have heard this comment before, so I'll c how it looks without & a bigger clock window. Re: [special_char] ... when it goes live will get our alarm links working as they do on live site (http://Sleep.fm/7am http://Sleep.fm/7am, http://sleep.fm/8am http://sleep.fm/8am, etc). Maybe that' what u meant? Not sure what you meant by "Stop," button. Is it too big? thnx again

  A fellow Raider! I'm doing my final semester of Criminal Justice, along the way I learned how to program and I'm too lazy/far in to change majors. Here is a rough idea of what I had in mind: http://imgur.com/5HHOQ.png http://imgur.com/5HHOQ.png . The Rooster is active so the "Test" link appears under it. When you click "Weather Alarm" a test link will appear under that and disappear from the under the Rooster. You can arrange the icons any way, but I think labeling them would help the user know what they do. I wasn't aware you weren't fully live yet, it looks nice so far. I would recommend creating a nice 404 page so that users who go to http://sleep.fm/<&#62 http://sleep.fm/<> or http://sleep.fm/7 http://sleep.fm/7 are either directed back to the homepage or to a pretty 404 page telling them they messed up. >Not sure what you meant by "Stop," button. Is it too big? Yes :). A simple stop would be more than enough, although the big button did work- i.e. I knew how to stop the test alarm. I see potential here. The name is awesome, there are some nice design aspects. Give it a few more features- tweet the alarm time, intergrate pandora/last.fm/grooveshark- and I think you have a nice piece of work. Good luck!
