For any alarm clock app to work properly it in very necessary that you take care of this one thing. If you are using any Android Task Killer app like Advanced Task Killer then you need to put the Alarm Clock into Ignore List of task killer app.

I am presenting these here and going to talk about what features are supported by each. I am leaving it up to readers and Android users to try these out and decide which one they like and which one they want to use for their Android mobile phone.
Alarm Clock++ :
This is one of the best Alarm Clocks available for Android phone. It is very simple to use, equipped with many required features and it is free.
Problem with most of the Alarm Clock apps I have seen is you need to tap or drag some button on screen to snooze the alarm. Alarm Clock++ provides a very great feature to snooze the alarm without opening your eyes. You have to just flip the Android phone to snooze the alarm. I love this feature and this allows me to snooze alarm for couple of times before I wake up.
Alarm Clock++ allows you to define customizable shortcuts to launch your favorite apps from clock main screen. It gives you control to switch the display mode between day and night. Some important features of Alarm Clock++ are,
You can select either ringtone or music as your alarm sound

This Alarm Clock app is feature packed and if you are looking for any specific feature in Alarm Clock app then probably you would find it in this app. It has very nifty features like snoozing on phone shake, snoozing after predefined time, decreasing snooze duration after every snooze and so on. It is well designed to wake you up without fail and with as gently or harshly as you like. As name suggests it is absolutely free.
One of the interesting features of Alarm Clock Xtreme Free is "Nap timer". This could be very useful when you want to take a quick nap and want your Android phone to wake you up on time.
AlarmDroid :
AlarmDroid app too is feature packed. This app has many wonderful features like Alarm by date and time, provision to control the snooze and stop by flip, shake and power button.
AlarmDroid provides "Speaking clock" feature. It is very nice feature where you can select how frequently you would like the app to say the time. Once set it would speak a time at specified intervals.
"Backup" feature of AlarmDroid allows you to take the backup of the app database and also allows you to restore the data from previously backed up file.
One more interesting thing about AlarmDroid app is, not only it allows you to select the days of week for repeating alarms but you can also select from between odd or even weeks when alarm should be in effect.
