Wave Alarm is a utility application created by Augmented Minds. It is available on the iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. Although the initial price is free; you can upgrade for the full features and no advertisements for $1.99.

This is a really great application for people looking to replace their inefficient alarms. Wave Alarm lets you control your alarm by just waving your hand over your iPhone. This takes out the stressful part of your morning that involves fumbling around in the dark trying to push some button to turn off a noisy alarm.

Wave Alarm supports multiple alarms and motion detection controls. You can also slide your finger up and down the screen to adjust the brightness for optimal levels in the dark. In addition to all of these features Wave Alarm includes local weather information, which is really helpful to get you started on your day. If you use Wave Alarm you’ll not only have a smoother wake up process, but you’ll also be alerted about the weather in an instant.

The Good:

The interface is beautiful and the free version has all the features you need. Not to mention that controlling your alarm with a wave of a hand is a great idea.

The Bad:

While testing this app over the course of a week I was not able to find any glitches or shortcomings.

Conclusion:

If you’re fumbling around with your current alarm or iPhone, then maybe it’s time for a different alarm solution. Wave Alarm is free and simply amazing. The least you could do is giving it a try. What do you have to lose? Soon you’ll be upgrading to the full version because it’s really worth it.
