What's the best alarm app? I prefer that it works well and doesn't keep me in bed when I need to wake up
Thanks!

I've tried a lot, but I came back to the stock alarm clock.
What might help is finding a sample/sound bite/mp3 of an alarm that you like. You can google for those too. Just download it and put it into your sd card, and the option to select that "ringtone" will be available in the alarm clock app.

I have been using Cognition on my Samsung Captivate and upgraded several times. I am currently running 4.4.6
I am needing to run an application that arms my home's security system remotely: DSC Alarm Monitor by Robert Chou.
Cognition will not allow the application to contact the alarm, view the status or arm the system.
I have contacted the developer of the Alarm app and we have worked together to troubleshoot. I have tried the Alarm app on two other Samsung Captivate devices (not rooted to Cognition) and they work flawlessly.
Apparently there is something within Cognition that will not allow the app to remote into the Alarm system and interact.
I love Cognition and hope that this is an easy fix. Has anyone else had this issue and can you please provide a solution. Thanks!
So to say my wife is upset that Verizon/Motorola deleted apps that she uses with the update is an understatement.
The most maddening is the alarm issue. Jelly Bean deleted the Alarm app that was on her phone, and I remedied that by getting her one off of Google Play. The only issue is that the alarms set on the original Alarm app are still in place, and cannot be deleted from what we can see.
This is a problem because she has the alarm set for 5am M-F, but we don't want this thing going off this weekend at that time.
My first thought was maybe to find an .apk of the old alarm program, but I haven't been able to do so. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Use the stock jb clock.. tap clock ...set alarm.. repeat mon-fri....

It is unlikely that the update deleted user installed apps unless you did a factory reset after the update.
The update is written to the system partition, your data, including the alarms and all apps you installed would be in the data partition.
It is also unlikely that a non-existing app executes alarms.... With what if the app is uninstalled?
It is however possible that the update messed up something ...
My guess is, the alarm app is still there, you just don't see it.
Go to "Manage Apps"
There are three "views": Downloaded, Running, All
Carefully go through the "All" list and see if you can find it.

Actually, this isn't completely true. Although I agree that third party apps should not be touched, I can attest, that several built in Android apps are replaced. So far, I have found that the Gallery, Camera, Clock, and Alarm apps were replaced with new versions. For me, (I am using App Organizer) this meant that these shortcuts no longer worked.
Often the solution is to delete the unworking shorcut/widget/placeholder/whatever and re-add it, to get the new version.
Oh, I also had this problem with Car Dock Home V3 (icons that no longer worked).

The alarms are under the clock app.

I find it odd that you don't have an alarm function on the watch unless tethered to the phone. So I was trying out various alarm clocks for the gear, most did not fit well on the screen and some had time entry not compatible with the gear.
I found the following on Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.macropinch.axe&hl=en
Loaded it via Wondershare and it works a treat. Has 4 great looking clocks including a digital one with seconds and date, easy time entry, multi alarms and snooze function etc and works really well on the gear (with or without connection to phone.
Looks Very Good!
I had not so much time recently but the time to root and configure NOVA is coming...
Great find, thanks a lot. I've left a message on their facebook page and hopefully they should publish it officially on Samsung App store
They just added an app in the Gear store called ZDclock
Lets you set alarms/reminders for all different things.
Looks quite nice on the Gear screen.

Thanks. Yes that's a neat app too. I am keeping them both
I love the idea of an alarm app right on the gear but the permissions that app asks for seem way over the top for what it does. Does it need access to everything on the phone?

click in upper left corner of the app on the watch and you can choose the digital clock face there.

Does this app have to be installed on phone and watch, i like the zd clock app but its only available in 24 hour format. If this app is installed on the gear, it automatically installs and syncs with the phone.
Great little app ! Thanks for sharing.. Almost looks like it was designed for the gear.

App is installed on phone and/or watch, and it will synchronise but the beauty of it is it will run as a standalone app on the watch.
i have this app only installed on my Gear.
Digital clock looks good, but analog clock is very bad.
background is gray (not black) and clock isn't centered.:crying:

Is this a widget or I can use/install this on stock rom gear?

You can install this in stock rom too. It is a standalone app, not widget.
Weather doesnt work anymore. I noticed it updated quite a long time back, tried to force update(pulled down) and it didnt update. Also, trying to press a day or something to go to detailed weather got an expiret SSL certificate error. Deleted app data and now it can't even find city(any city) to show weather...App is completely useless. I installed Accuweather...
Also, Friday morning the alarm didn't go off, so I almost didn't make it to work in time. The main alarm dissapeared and only a useless 19:00 alarm was present.
L.E. it started working again today. The site must have updated, it looks more like the app
