[Bug 1411187] Re: [datetime] Add option to not have snooze

 

The iPhone has this one figure out. When I set an alarm, I get a page
that shows me all the alarms I have created in the past, with the option
to edit them, as well as add or delete alarms. If an alarm goes off and
tap "Snooze", the modal dialog that pops up with the alarm goes away.
When I want to prevent the alarm from going off again within the snooze
interval, I can go to the alarm edit page and simply turn off the alarm
with a toggle.

  [UX Comment]
  As it seems unlikely that we will be able to implement snooze on/off & snooze duration for individual alarms, but do have an application-wide setting that allows snooze duration to be set (but not disabled), I'd recommend the options relating to snooze in application settings be changed to the following:

  - No snooze
  - 5 minutes
  - 10 minutes
  - 15 minutes

  This way the list is still short (four options, as it is currently)
  but the options provided are likely to be more useful (current 2
  minute snooze doesn't seem very useful, nor does the difference
  between 4 mins and 5 min snooze periods).

  [UX Comment 2]
  Additionally, notifications for snoozing alarms should come in two forms:
  1. With the options 'OK' (ceases alarm) and 'Snooze' (sets the alarm to the snooze period elected by the user)
  2. With the option 'OK' (ceases the alarm) when snooze is not enabled.
