I can see with my own habits that the snooze button is too soft on me, so this could help with some extra discipline :)

But in practice, can I just spin the phone around in the air whilst still lying in bed or is it detecting for a wider circumference of movement than that?

    No you can't, you need to keep 2 thumbs on the screen in the same position while you spin around. And you also need to keep the device flat. It's foolproof :)

Ah you got my 99¢. Nice idea but needs some built in alarms! If you don't have anything in your iTunes library there's no sound, it doesn't even beep.

    Thanks, I'm adding more alarm tones soon. You'll hear a default alarm even if there's no music selected when the app isn't running.

      Volume's turned up & it's definitely not on silent mode but the default alarm isn't going off, it's just vibrating. iPhone 4 with the newest version of iOS (I think).

      Edit: it goes off if the app is closed, if it's open it doesn't.
