The built in one only sounds an alarm for 1 minute. I miss the iphone alarm. That would run for 15 min or more. I need one that beeps until you click it off! Any suggestions?

I use alarm clock plus.. I haven't tested how long you can make it go but I am sure you can make it quite a bit longer.

Try checking your settings. Sometimes there is an option that specifies if the alarm should shut off after a set time (or not at all).

I like Alarm Clock Extreme. Tons of customizing, plays music forever until you turn it off. Turns out 3 digit multiplication is really hard when you JUST wake up

Alarm Clock Plus daily user here--it's never failed me. I find adding two two-digit numbers really hard when I wake up. :)

Alarm Clock Plus. Been using it for as long as i've been using Android and i can't imagine anything that you'd need in an app of this kind that it doesn't do.

Another vote for Alarm Clock Plus. Simply the best.

I like having it read the time every time it sounds. The snooze button is huge and the dismiss button is tiny and hard to hit by accident. You can have it use any of your music or ringtones, gradually up the volume, change the snooze time (I need 5 minutes, the stock alarm clock can ONLY do 10 which is too long!), and of course force you to do math problems to turn it off.

Gentle Alarm has lots of settings I've found. I, like many others, have it set to make me do a few math problems before it will shut off. There is also an option to do a type of simon says pattern following game before the alarm will shut off.

I currently use the factory clock/alarm widget but I don't much like the clock face so I'm looking for a different clock widget that also does alarm duties. So, for both functions (clock and alarm) what are some good options for widgets?

Picked up Alarm Clock Xtreme and set it for 8AM this morning. I'd 'removed' the factory clock but when the alarm went off this morning at 8AM there was actually two alarms that went off: the one for ACX and the one I'd previously set for the factory clock. OK, I dismissed both the alarms but had to put the factory clock back on one of my pages so I could kill the alarm I'd previously set. I then 'removed' the factory clock again.

I think I should be OK now!
