LOL, that's insanity wolf territory. I'm not sure if I can handle that.

Thank you for the kind words! I hope your app reaches the success you hope for it.

More motivation not to snooze =)

All kidding aside I would hope that it wouldn't be interpreted as spam. It's a novel way to help someone get up in the mornings, and I would like to assume friends would find it humorous.

Thanks for the feedback damon_c. A friend of mine had similar ideas. I'd love to add features like this. I can use all the help I can get. Can you shoot me an email [email protected], or I can contact you.

LOL, definitely. I can see this in a future version for sure.

Definitely more efficient. You are right, I will change it.

I really like this. In the end I definitely want BetterMe to focus on positive reinforcement rather than negative ones.

Standard Clock = Using 12 hours with am / pm. You can have it display military time if you like.

I see you point, and with the advents of social media there is very little left for privacy. I suppose though in the end its a matter of personal choice. No one is forcing you to use these app.

I built this app because I wanted the extra motivation in the mornings. So far it's been working. I wake up with a smile on my face knowing that I won't be bothering my friends, and that now I have no choice but to get up.

To be exact:

I am weak willed. I set an Alarm for [ 03:06 PM ] but instead I have decided to snooze ( this is an automated message from BetterMe: www.bettermeapp.co )

Just to give you a heads up, you spelled weight incorrectly in the third to last paragraph. Great article!
