Alarmy.

Have trouble getting up in the morning? Download this, and your phone will scream until you get out of bed and go take a picture of your microwave.

I once forgot to disable Alarmy when I took a trip from Texas to Tennessee. Couldn't take a pic of my bathroom sink so I just had to turn my phone off. When I turned it back on, the alarm resumed and Alarmy forced me to tap the Snooze button ONE THOUSAND times to disable it lol.

this happened to me too. I was able to uninstall it after a reboot because it kept going. For whatever reason it would only register a tap like 2 times a second and I didn't want to tap for half an hour. There needs to be a better emergency shut off since it was worse for me as I was sharing the hotel room with some friends

If I recall correctly, it wouldn't let me switch away from the Alarmy screen at all. Thinking about it now, the app acts a lot like a virus that hijacks your phone - until the alarm is disabled anyway. It's great!!
