Smarter Alarm is a talking alarm clock. Instead of hearing an annoying alarm, you’ll wake up to the voice of a robotic British woman who will read personalized information to you, like "Jarvis" in Iron Man.
Would you like to know if you'll need to dress warmly today? How about the score to last night's basketball game? Smarter Alarm will read information that's important to you, such as weather, your latest emails, Google calendar appointment, stock prices, birthdays, the morning's headline news, and your own RSS feeds.
Feeds that Smarter Alarm can read to you:
- Current and forecast weather - Stock prices - The day's headline news - Your Facebook friends who have birthdays today - Your Google calendar appointments for the day (requires Android 2.0+) - Your Google tasks - Your latest Gmail emails - Your Facebook events in the next 24 hours - Custom RSS feed - What happened on this day in history - Quotes of the day - Make generic GET and POST requests
Additional feeds/information will be added to Smarter Alarm in future updates, including traffic, sports scores, and much more! Please leave in comments what you would like to see!

How to install Smarter Alarm APK on Android phone or tablet?
Download Smarter Alarm APK file from ApkClean, then follow these steps:
Update Phone Settings
Go to your phone Settings page
Tap Security or Applications (varies with device)
Check the Unknown Sources box
Confirm with OK
Go to Downloads
Open Downloads on your device by going to My Files or Files
Tap the APK file you downloaded (com.edwardkim.android.smarteralarmfull-v3.36-ApkClean.apk)
Tap Install when prompted, the APK file you downloaded will be installed on your device.
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading). As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

2 ★I used to love this app but can't use it anymore. Since I got lollipop on my Nexus 5,the home button and apps list disappear when the alarm goes on and I have to reboot or my phone becomes useless.
3 ★I authorized the alarm to read my tasks and enabled tasks, but the alarm always says I have no tasks no matter how many I have. It also does not update when I make changes to my calendar. After I deleted a recurring event for that date only, the alarm claimed I had an event even though it was not listed on my calendar. I made sure my calendar so was to date and synced(And they were), but still no luck. ??????
1 ★If you've abandoned this app please let people know. The last update was 3 years ago yet it still remains in the Play Store for $3.99. This app needs to be removed from Google Play or updated with new APIs. When it worked it WAS great
5 ★I really haven't noticed any difference from this one to a free one. It would be one heck of an advantage if this one read you your local weather forecast for the day. And maybe it does I just haven't had time to play with it I guess.. if it has audible weather for cast with the alarm, I could recommend this app.... still 5 stars though..bzzzzz
1 ★I had this app a couple years ago and absolutely loved it. Now none of the features that I want (birthdays, calendar, weather) work at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times over the last few months with no improvement. Very sad, it used to be a great app.
4 ★It's the most useful alarm available, given how it provides the time, date, news and reads your calendar events. If only it did everything it claims to do. Otherwise this would be the best alarm ever. Unfortunately, even the stuff that kinda works is not done well enough. Weather is always unavailable, whether I pick GPS location or enter ZIP code, and it won't read Gmail items. At least it gives me the news, and calendar events seem to get picked up. Hopefully in the future the dev can get it working right, and maybe even add traffic reports.
3 ★I use this app on my phone and love it. I'm loving the customizable comments. I have fun leaving a new message for my wife each morning! However, it doesn't work for the new Google Nexus 7. If the Nexus 7 is in sleep mode this app doesn't turn the sound on.
2 ★The parts of the app that work are great but it and it's developer has their issues. Most importantly, the calendar and weather features of the app do not work. I'm sure I have them configured correctly but thry are never included in the audio readout. I've emailed the developer about this and have yet to receive a response. It's a shame because the calendar feature is one of the reasons to buy the app instead of just using the free version. For this reason, I can't recommend this app.
4 ★Love this app. I jist switched to the Galaxy S8 and as soon as I hit the dismiss button it starts talking over and over again until I exit the app. Please look into this because it never did that with all my previous phones. Thanks!
3 ★Any little thing stops the alarm. Not good. Would be nice if also read ur appointments
5 ★I use this alarm on and off over the years and always come back to it. its the best in the marketplace I'm shocked that more people have not tried it
3 ★Love the alarm but I get a weird glitch that the 1st alarm I set for the day does not go off just make an unlocking sound all the rest of the ones in the day sound just fine. This happens only sometimes but if you miss you alarm that's kinda the point to this app. Please fix I am on a Note II.
