While it's advisable to not actually slap your phone when the alarm goes off, that's just one of the options available with the Wake Alarm app. In addition to the slap feature, the Wake Alarm app can also be turned off by flipping it over or shaking it.
We're seeing a distinct shift with regard to alarm apps because consumers are looking for interactive ways to wake and programmers are learning fast that tactile interaction helps us rise more efficiently.
The Wake Alarm app features a sophisticated interface that's easily programmable to fit any and all schedules. Be careful when using any of the options with the Wake Alarm app because shaking could easily turn into throwing when you aren't ready to get up.
