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) but the bottom line is it being free, who could ask for more.

If you do have feature suggestions, I would be happy to put them in the next major version. I try to be pretty accommodating to the people that use my software. Use the bug reporting email address.
Also, I'm aware of the problem with the different mp3/wma files not playing. I am sure that it will not play protected wma files and some mp3 files simply will not play no matter what I do. I'm looking into a solution for this in the next major Alarm release (probably using a different playback method). Rest assured, however, that as long as there is at least one song that will play, the alarm will still go off. I've made sure of that.
As for the alarm time taking the place of the actual time, that will be corrected in the next major version. I think that changing it in say, 3.5.9, would be more confusing to the users than waiting until, say, 4.0.
Thanks for using Alarm and providing helpful insight. I do appreciate it.
