iOS 14 Alarm/Clock Issues

This is unbelievable! Mr Jobs would have slapped you guys in the face for that. SIMPLICITY has been the idea from the beginning. As said before: do not fix things that works, it couldn’t be more simple as it was, now you took simple thing as setting alarm, back like 20 years.

And thats not just in alarm, same stupid tiny time setting and dial in calendar.

Right, what is with all these idiotic dials? Why not the nice simple row of buttons.

It’s as if the phone is saying “I don’t serve you, you serve me! You must now master this weird new interface! You must do my bidding to perform a task that used to be simple.”

It really does feel like some fool is trying to justify their job. "Look, now the user has to spin this little wheel to set a time! It's much better! I know it seems worse, but it really is better, I promise!"

I don’t like Alarm and Health app linking together, making a lot confusing, I want to off all alarms but I need to check all hidden alarm too. Why I need to choose minimum a day. Apple was famous for simplicity but iOS 14 messed up it. Alarm setting digits are too small. We are using FINGERS, pls design FINGER FRIENDLY. I’m very disappointed this irritating alarm setting since changed to iOS14 but no changes were made till iOS 14.2????????

This is a horrible solutuon to a problem. Why do I have to reset all settings just to fix the alarm issue?

Alarm only goes off occasionally. It's impossible to set it to anything else ( like a song form a PlayList), but only the default Sounds. Setting a Timer also might not work, it will reset itself without users knowledge.

I have overslept so many times time, it's already giving me anxiety.

Why make changes to a such simple feature when it worked fine? (SOMEWHAT)

The small clock setting UI is just aweful and take too many clicks to set.

The phone should perfectly perform simple features: making a call, checking you voicemail and set alarm clock. All these fundumental features are buggy and slow throughout all OS versions.

Agree with everyone, the digits are too small! Also before the update I would ask Siri to set an alarm and it would set for the upcoming closest time. For example, if I’m taking an hour lunch and it’s 12 noon I would say set alarm for 1 o’clock and previously it would set for 1:00 PM— now it sets for 1:00 AM which is annoying when you’re trying to set a quick lunch or break clock and almost miss clocking back in at work! Why does it keep going to AM automatically??

If anyone from Apple reads this, please fix the new alarm UI. It is extremely annoying. The old one was great. It now takes me significantly more time to set the alarm because the new UI is so fiddly and awkward. Why this need to constantly change things that work well? It wastes time and it’s stressful to have to figure out how to do routine things over and over again. This also creates unnecessary barriers for older people or those with accessibility issues. I see this with my father, when he is trying to figure out these pointless updates on his iPhone all the time. Technology should make life easier.

This is absurd! It was working fine.. Why do I have to go in and enter all kinds of health info to use alarm? What were you thinking? SMH Now my alarm is worthless. Im not entering my health data or acquiring another app to use something as simple as a alarm on a phone I already purchased.

Horrible Idea

This is totally unacceptable. I've bought a totally new iPhone 12 that costs more than 1200 euros and I cannot even set an alarm, it sounds like a joke.... I've seen solutions with Siri and changing timezone, but it's totally not acceptable that after months this bug haven't been fixed! It's a lack of respect for customers from specific timezones.

So annoying!!! There is so much dead space around it. Whoever put that in needs sacking. Accessibility is an important thing - some people don’t have child fingers and this is very hard to function.

Yes!!! Why did you make the numbers so small??? Hard to scroll and see now! Please fix this!

I absolutely agree. It was perfect before. Why change a winning team...

Yes I agree 100%, totally useless update to the alarm as digits too small to accurately set

Plus there is no widget at top of screen once alarm is set to show its active

Agree
