What annoys me most is hitting snooze by mistake, you then have to open the clock app to toggle it off and on. Otherwise you alarm goes off while you are in th

  The default android clock app will give you a notification about an upcoming alarm, and give you the option to dismiss it in advance (once of course) without having to open it.

    iOS gives a notification, but swiping it opens the clock application instead of disabling the snooze. Oh, and it removes the snooze notification. To disable the snooze you have to remember which alarm triggered and switch it off (then back on)

  You leave my shower alone!

    Your right, fixed :p p.s. This one was intentional.

  That annoys me too! Maybe that can be in part 2 of the article :-)

  This is my problem with snooze functionality. Not very often would I actually like to snooze. I'd prefer to eliminate the option as a whole and simply set my alarm back for N minutes if I decide to sleep longer that morning. That also helps a little with the problem of snap decision making that happens so often when it comes to how many times to hit snooze. If you actually have to think about how much longer you can sleep and set an alarm for it, then you're a lot more likely to make a good choice.

    On iOS at least, you can disable snooze entirely on a per-alarm basis. That's pretty much essential for other alarms than wakeup, even regular ones.

  related to this, if you have a daily alarm and wake up 2 minutes before it, you have to remember to toggle it off before getting in the shower. Anyone know an app to get around this problem (like a "skip today" button) ?

    I got up one mintue before mine today, sat there waiting like a lemon for it to go off.

    Android (at least the Nexus 7) has a 'dismiss now' notification option. Very handy.

      Not specific to the N7. It's a feature of 4.4 (probably one of the later dot releases).

  On stock Android the snoozed alarm is a notification. You can dismiss it directly from the notification panel.

  Yes! As someone who never intentionally hits the snooze button but does it accidentally all the time, snoozing should never hide the option to turn it off.
