Editor's review of Alarm RP

- Reviewed on: March 20, 2009
- Version reviewed: Alarm RP 3.5.8
Simple and reliable, this free desktop alarm is one of the better ones we've seen. Users of all levels will appreciate the useful features that it brings to the table.
Alarm 3.5.5 offers a basic, digital-style display. The program comes with a large selection of themes that really only change the color-scheme. Drop-down menus let you quickly set the hour and minutes for the alarm, but the minutes can only be set in 15-minute increments. If you don't feel like going through the trouble of manually setting the alarm, the Quick Alarm feature lets you set it using preset time increments. Once you set the alarm, the current time is replaced by the alarm time. The default alarm sound is rather harsh, but we were able to quickly and easily add our own MP3 files to replace the sound. If you are a fan of the snooze button, the program lets you adjust the snooze time, as well as the number of allowed hits. We especially liked that you can set multiple timers at once, which appear as a new window on your desktop.
The program doesn't offer any real help, but we doubt you'll need it thanks to its intuitive interface. If you're looking for a straightforward alarm clock with useful functions, Alarm 3.5.5 is the one for you.

Pros: Playlist to put in all the songs you ever want to wake up too, Alarm time memory, multiple alarms, low profile and has all the needed and wanted features, minimize to tray or display as a clock on desktop, snooze button, reminder message pop-up.

Version: Alarm RP 3.5.8
"Not much difference over-all from 3.5.5"
Pros: Still a handy tool.
Cons: Doesn't seem to play all the (mp3, wma) music you enter. Still looks plain and the alarm taking the place of the real time display could become confusing.
Summary: If you go to settings/general//display all minute possibilities and check the box, this will over ride the fifteen minute default increments of your minute alarm settings.
I have several clocks that do various things (that alarm rp doesn't) bu... read more >> - See all 2 user reviews Write review
