 BeoPlayer (the iPhone-App for the Beosound 8). works without an Beosound 8.

 nice alarm sound (the B&O "Chime")

I too downloaded the app, though I don't have the BeoSound 8, and used it to wake myself up this morning.  (iPhone 3)

Guess what?  NO SNOOZE!!!

No Snooze? That's funny because my iPhone 4 did have Snooze even after terminating the Beoplayer: When the next snooze was due, the iPhone restarted the Beoplayer until I turned off the Alarm manually

A snooze function is useless and should be banned by law. If you do not intend to wake up at the alarm time, just crank it forward by 10 minutes to begin with, and enjoy a longer time of proper rest 😎

I keep my bedroom clock twenty mins fast, my central heating clock 14 mins fast, and I set my alarm to go off 27 mins before I intend to get up.  (3 nine minute snoozes)

It's the only way!

Is this your grand plan to know the lotto numbers before they are published?

No, I have friends abroad for that. Some of them are in tomorrow already!

Yeah does look rather good 🤒
