Developing application for S3- requesting feedback

[frangoya]

Hi guys, I'm in my A2 year of school studying Computing and am wondering if anyone is willing to spare their time to help out a stranger on the internet

I'm designing an alarm clock application for my Computing coursework, as it allows for a good degree of complexity without being too difficult to build. I've taken this thread to the S3 forums because I am developing using my own S3.

Currently I am researching for feedback to features that I can add to the application. I wrote up a questionnaire to be answered for the coursework. If I get responses to this it helps my marks a lot in the Analysis section of the coursework. If anyone has a few moments of spare time to answer, that would be muchly appreciated.

Questionnaire:

1. Have you ever used your default alarm clock application?

a. If yes, continue with questionnaire​

b. If no, please take a moment to review your alarm application.​

2. Do you find the alarm to be an effective application?

3. Do you use it as an alarm in the morning? (Skip if 1b) Is it effective at waking you in the morning?

4. What is the best feature about the application?

5. What would you improve about the application?

6. Have you ever tried any other alarm clock applications for you phone?

a. If yes, what application(s) and how did they perform?​

7. What is your preferred method of getting up in the morning?

8. Would you willingly pay money for an alarm clock application?

Every day

a. If yes, continue with questionnaire​

b. If no, please take a moment to review your alarm application.​

2. Do you find the alarm to be an effective application?
Yes

Almost never.
Is it effective at waking you in the morning?
Yes, when I've used it.

Easily reachable from the Notification bar.

I can't think of anything.

Yes.

a. If yes, what application(s) and how did they perform?
​

Can't remember, but about the same.

7. What is your preferred method of getting up in the morning?
I'm retired, so I wake up when I've had enough sleep. Before that I used a clock radio.

8. Would you willingly pay money for an alarm clock application?
No, since the one that comes with the phone (Note 3, probably the same one on your S3) works well enough.
