Great concept, however. – Smart Alarm Clock : sleep cycle & snoring recorder Review

For those of us using VoiceOver, which is the onboard screenreader for iOS, this app is at this time unusable by the blind. While most of the elements can be read with Voiceover, it is impossible for us to be able to set the alarm, which is an important part of making this app work, affectively. Perhaps in a future release you may want to consider making the hour and minute set-up into picker items that are easily operated with the single finger swipe up or down for VoiceOver users. I highly encourage any and all app developers when developing apps to perhaps take a little time in getting educated on the accessibility options under settings, and learn about such things as Zoom for magnification, VoiceOver for speech and braille output, and assistive touch for those who may be motor impaired. Yes, even blind people have sleep issues, some of which is due to light deprivation. So, with that in mind, this app could be a help. However, with accessibility issues as they are, we are being left out. Hoping this problem will get better, since this is a possibly great concept in helping us maintain a decent sleep cycle with a refreshing wake up. There are other access issues with VoiceOver as well, such as one or two impropperly labeled buttons. One of which I managed to surmise, added time to the soothing sounds for nodding off. Another one was a button that said "down-arrow." Not sure what that was for. But, since I was unable to affectively set up the alarm and so forth with speech, it's hard to tell if this can be useful. Hope this gets better.
