Impala has lost touch with customer experience – Alarm Clock HD - Pro Review

I’ve used this app for years, and it’s always worked a certain way: push a button in the top right corner to set the alarm, and then push the big red button to silence the alarm. Now, pushing the top right corner leads to ads for this developer’s other products. There’s really no good reason for it, other than the developer knows I will tap on this exact spot out of habit. Worse, when the alarm goes off in the morning (when many of us are asleep and not functioning at 100%, and maybe our eyesight isn’t that good) the big red button is still there, but is now just a very brief snooze. To turn the alarm off, you have to hold down on a tiny white button just below the big red one. This is kind of like getting my car back from the shop and finding out the gas & brake pedals have been reversed. Finally, the long fade-in of the alarm now takes about 5 seconds. This morning, my family had been awakened before I figured out I was hitting the new Snooze button and held the off button. I always support the app developers, so if there was ever an option to purchase this app, I’ve done so. At this point, I will now be looking for another alarm clock app. It’s hard to believe anyone would so drastically alter the basic functionality of an app that was working fine for years.
