Brief Review Of nAlertMe

Aikon 

I have just finished testing our this new application from Samir and straight out i can say - I'm impressed!

Despite many attempts to copy his idea, i believe Samir has beaten those Python version of AlertMe, DontTouch and AntiTouch flat out. Perhaps because written in Symbian code instead of Python, Samir's nAlertMe is definitely much more comfortable to use than other previous applications.

In fact, ease of use is only one of the plus sides of this app that impresses me. Samir's creativity really shines in this application. When the phone is locked (alarm activated), it makes a cute "beep" like a car would; and when the alarm is deactivated it makes another. Little details like this really make a difference for users, and in my opinion it adds to the overall user friendliness of this application.

The interface is simple, straight forward, and clean - much like his website AIkonLab. nAlertMe is well configured and requires no messy tinkering, it just works! No flashy graphics or confusing pop-up menus either, just pure fun and functionality out of the box. I think quality developers like Samir who give their work out for free and becoming more and more difficult to find these days, considering how easy Python is to master it seems amatuer developers are all going for python instead of Symbian. So call me old fashioned, but i instantly fell in love with nAlertMe, a true winner.
