Re: Why does Apple make setting a damn Alarm on the iPhone so complicated? - N-OS X-tasy! - 02-20-2023 I don’t use Siri and I was still able to set an alarm to go off every weekday morning. Not hard at all Re: Why does Apple make setting a damn Alarm on the iPhone so complicated? - rich in distress - 02-20-2023 Lennon would say “It's easy if you try”. Re: Why does Apple make setting a damn Alarm on the iPhone so complicated? - rgG - 02-20-2023 He wants to wake to a podcast not just set an alarm. That’s why it is not easy. I am sure Paul could easily set a regular alarm.

If not, it's not fair to dock Apple for "not making it easy" if it's not something they claim it can do. I checked and I can select a song from my iTunes library, or a ringtone.

Re: Why does Apple make setting a damn Alarm on the iPhone so complicated? - RAMd®d - 02-20-2023 So let's review: There are two simple way to set an alarm, for one day, week days, or week ends (AS IF!) There is no simple way to have an Apple alarm start a podcast. There apparently is no way for an Apple alarm to start a podcast, nor is this a feature claimed of the Apple alarm clock. Paul originally use clock radio to awaken in time to listen to a podcast, presumable activating it himself. Now, his 'Phone can replace that functionality, but can't yet start a podcast. I'd think if my 'Phone woke me in time to listen to a podcast, I could access it slightly quicker than by using a clock-radio, then moving to the 'Phone. Selecting a song or ringtone as an alarm tone is a feature of the Clock app. I'd also be interested if the Short Cuts app, provided by Apple, has given Paul a viable option to wake up to a podcast. |
