The author can also buy one of the many alarm clock apps in the store in which will avoid this issue. It's a reoccurring issue as it happened when the time changed in the fall.

Pardon shameless plug but we have an alarm app that wakes you up & speaks the status of your airline flight(delayed, canceled or on-time). We use flightcaster.com as our data resource.

Thanks for the plug. They can be useful. But:

1. Why use "promotional pics" rather than screenshots of the actual program?

2. Ugh, why use non-native controls?

3. The Facebook and Twitter icons look low-res, which would make for an ugly appearance on my iPhone 4.

There is no chance I would buy this app without an accurate screenshot representation of it, and there's further no chance I would buy it if it really does look the way it does in the screenshots.
