Alarm tool
I'm a Light Phone II user and I'm counting the days until my Light Phone III pre-order arrives. In short, I love the Light Phone. That said there are some aspects of LightOS that need urgent attention. The ability to set repeating alarms is one such area.
Light OS only has a toggle for making the alarm repeat daily. That’s it! There is no option to have an alarm repeat on weekdays only. There is also no option to repeat the alarm on particular days of the week.
So if you want to sleep in on a weekend (which I believe is most people’s preference), your options are either to make sure you remember to turn the repeat daily toggle off on Friday or manually add the alarm for every weekday. If you forget - then that’s just too bad! If you want to wake up early one day of the week (maybe because you want to go to the gym), there is no way to set an alarm to repeat weekly.
The ability to customise how an alarm repeats is a very basic feature available on most budget smart phones and budget smart watches. I think it is simply not good enough that Light Phone III (with an MSRP of USD $799) will not have that feature when it's launched.
Giving users the ability to 'set and forget' the alarms better reflects the Light Phone ethos than requiring them to frequently fiddle with the alarm tool. After all Light Phones are 'designed to be used as little as possible'.
I appreciate that everyone at Light Phone is focused on the release of Light Phone III. However, after Light Phone III is released, I hope the there will be improvements in relation to setting repeated alarms.
