AndAlarm combines calendar And Alarm. It is better and easier to use.
Q: The differences between AndAlarm and Android built-in Calendar.
A：
- Android's built-in cell-based Calendar is more suitable for dentist-like. You have to scroll to the cell to enter an activity. Office workers usually have fixed major jobs. There aren't many activities. Grid-based calendar displays a lot of blank and the size of text is small. AndAlarm sorts activities by today, tomorrow, week. Items are displayed more clearly. Usually there is no need to scroll to view it.
- minimize clicks & drag
- The seconds, vibration, playing volume, mp3(music or recorded speech) of notification alarm can be set individually. You don't have to worry miss alarms.
