Snooze is the dangerous one. : )<br /><br />I tried making another Alarm screen with buttons of equal size, something like this — <br /><br />Alarm<br /><br />Snooze<br /><br />Stop<br /><br />— but I couldn’t make up my mind about colors. Stop should be red, I’d say. But what should go with Snooze?

But in the case of your phone app, when in Alarm mode, "Snooze" is the most important button and when in Timer mode, "Stop" is the most important, so I think they got the proportions right. The problem is that you had the wrong mode on and didn't notice. I'd suggest having the modes represented in different colors would be a more appropriate choice, since you'd notice when setting the timer that it was orange instead of the expected blue.<br /><br />At any rate, I don't use apple products except professionally so I don't know what the app store is like, but can't you just look for an app where the entire screen is "Snooze", and you have to swap to another page to turn it off and every mode is a different color, like I can?ChasMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-52461083216327451012022-01-07T11:38:21.565-06:002022-01-07T11:38:21.565-06:00I’ve never used a clock radio, honest.

Therefore I believe your assertion that the stop button be bigger to be incorrect. Hitting stop accidentally at 7am is worse than snooze while cooking diner.ChasMnoreply@blogger.com
