[FREE APP] [iOS] UNIQLO Wake Up - Wake up with music that changes with the weather

Today FREE APP is UNIQLO Wake Up App.


This App, I believe, will be permanently free.

UNIQLO, even though its main business is selling clothes, is now making so many free apps that does not have any relation to selling clothes.
One of the free app is UNIQLO Wake Up.

Here is the icon look on iOS:

This app has quite standard features for an clock/alarm app. It even almost the same as iOS Stock Clock App, except this app has World wide menu and a nice alarm song! Continue reading to find out more.

The app greetings:


It has 4 main menus:
  1. Clock menu
  2. Alarm menu
  3. World wide menu
  4. Settings menu

Clock Menu
Simply to shows what time it is now. First time opening the app after installing, it will ask to have permission to your location, this is needed to detect 2 things, the local time and the weather at current location.


Alarm Menu
To set an alarm. This is what makes the app is different from many of clock/alarm app.
When the alarm is ringing, the app will detect your current location and grab the weather information.


Then it will sing for you like this, my alarm is set at 6.30am and partly cloudy: "Good morning, it is 6.30am and the weather is partly cloudy".
When the time is moving from 6.30am to 6.31am and I didn't snooze or dismiss the alarm, it will sing the new time: "Good morning, it is 6.31am and the weather is partly cloudy".


World wide menu
I'm still not quite get what's this menu does, but from what I saw, it shows you peoples from all over regions, america, europe, africa, asia, australia with their own time or perhaps alarm time.


Settings menu
In the settings menu, the following can be configured:
  • Location > to detect automatically your location or to set to certain location manually
  • Alarm music vocals > to set the music vocals to English, mandarin or without any vocals
  • Temperature > to select between Celsius or Fahrenheit
  • Social media > to share the stuff to Facebook, twitter or other social media

One thing this app (and other Alarm app) lacks of:
The app must be always opened or stay in the background.
If the app is killed/clean from the taskbar, then the alarm won't sound at the time it should ring the alarm.
