Google updates Clock App for Android users

Google, the search engine giant, has updated its Clock App for Android with the addition of minor yet useful features, pushing the app to version 4.2. The first update was unveiled in July this year, NDTV Gadgets reports.

The latest version, available to download from Google Play, now offers the progressive alarms and timers feature, meaning that alarm and timer volume would increase gradually.

Users will now be able to select their favourite timer ringtone, preemptively dismiss alarms from inside the app and control the timer from the handset's notification panel. Users will also be able to pause or add 1 extra minute and to reset the timer.

With interactive alarm notifications, the alarm and timer management would now be easier for Android Wear users, says NDTV Gadgets. In June, Google released Material Design-based Clock app to the Google Play store for non-stock Android users. The app was updated in July, which brought more neutral colours to it along with fixing couple of issues.
