DESCRIPTION
Alarm Clock Pro helps make managing a full schedule or a hectic lifestyle a breeze. With the sheer amount of functionality Alarm Clock Pro offers, it can easily integrate into nearly every aspect of your life. Speak or display favorite inspirational quotes randomly throughout the day, or even send them as text messages to your cell phone!

RANCHSTYLE Great basic alarm clock. Just wish it could play through my Express linked speakers. Then I wouldn't have to keep my laptop in the bedroom.

TANKKNIGHT Just installed v914 and all clock plugins became disabled because of some XML error. Tried a little fiddling to reinstall the plugins then decided that wasn't worth the effort. I went back to v913 and all is fine again. I really like ACP, but v9xx is so far not as good as v8xx.

KOINGO SOFTWARE As per the release notes, we've updated numerous clock plugins on our web site. Most of the old versions were corrupt from 8.x and we had to update them. They used to contain invalid XML, and now we use a strict parser. Updated clocks can be obtained from our web site.

GLW Is it just me, or does anyone else find three releases in one day to be just a tad excessive? If the program is that buggy, why not give it a thorough working over then release ONE update? It takes a lot of unnecessary bandwidth to download versions that are superseded before you even get a chance to install them!

KOINGO SOFTWARE Our apologies for the frequency of updates. We did put the program through rather extensive beta testing; however, some critical bugs slipped through 9.1.4 should be the last update for a while. Thank you for your understanding.

FISHERMAN23 $10 for a patch, seems a little pricey. I will continue to use my alarm clock, that works fine and it is free.

KOINGO SOFTWARE For those who missed it in the release notes during Software Update, or those who have not yet upgraded, Alarm Clock Pro 9 is a paid upgrade. This is the first paid upgrade to Alarm Clock Pro in 10 years, and we thank everyone for their support! Version 9.0 from the last 8.x release is primarily a bug fix release; however, we have big plans for it in the coming months, so please stay tuned. In fairness, we'll also be releasing a new 8.x point release containing these same bug fixes so that customers remaining on 8.x will have a final stable version of the product. Buyers of Alarm Clock Pro 8 on or after January 1, 2009, can obtain a free license at the link below. Also, all other users can use the same form to proceed to a paid upgrade page. http://www.koingosw.com/store-upgrade.php Upgrades are free for any buyers of the Utility Package, and the license should automatically be in your account. For users wishing to remain on version 8 and inadvertently upgraded, please contact us, and we'll offer you an 8.x download link.

CHRISWAN As an utility pack licensee, I found that the license for V9 already added to my account without me asking for it, and I'm really grateful for this However I really wish that the owners of V8 won't left in cold, they should get the crucial bug fixes (I'm not asking for fancy new features), in maybe 1-2 last point updates; so they can finally get a complete product they deserve I'm sure most of these people are the real customers (pay full price) instead the majority of Utility Pack users who got the pack from Mac software bundles

CHRISWAN That would be terrific Great customer service is the cornerstone of high quality products I'm sure this gesture will increase customer's satisfaction, which might resulted in migration to version 9 when the time comes Wishing you a great business in the future

LASZLO2 To charge $9.95 for bug fixes seems out of line. I'll wait until there are actual new features to pay any more money. The program is good, but not worth another $10.00.

ESPIRIDION I'm a fan of Koingo Software. They offer many great products and excellent customer support. Having said that, I'm surprised that this is a paid upgrade considering that it consists mostly of bug fixes.

KOINGO SOFTWARE This is the first paid upgrade in 10 years, and we thank everyone for their support. We have big plans for Alarm Clock Pro in the comings months, so please stay tuned! Additionally, Utility Package owners get this upgrade for free -- just ask one of our staff to add it to your account :)

ESPIRIDION I actually got the upgrade for free. :-) As I said, I'm a fan of your company and the support you offer. I think that the first Koingo products I purchased were Password Retriever, Contact Keeper, and PTE, many years ago and I'm a VERY happy customer. Still, there may be people using version 8 who don't get the free upgrade and are left with a program that is buggy. I prefer paid upgrades when new features are added, but not for bug fixes. That's just my opinion, and I hope you see it as constructive feedback. Again, I'm a happy customer and often recommend your company and your products.
