Cuckuu is a free Android app to create and share alarms with friends and also globally. The main purpose of this app is to create and share cuckuus ( they call it in the app for the mixture of alarm and reminders). Unlike “Walk Me Up” and other alarm apps for Android, this one lets you add photos and videos to the alarms with reminders. The best part of this app is that you can invite your friends via Facebook, Google+, Cuckuu, etc. to share or join cuckuus.
You can also chat with your “Cuckuu” friends in real-time and compete with them in the time game. Now, you might be wondering what is this time game, do not worry I will explain it to you. Actually what happens is when you set an alarm and invite your friends to join it, the app starts a time game in which whoever shut off the alarm faster can get more points or Tick-Tocks (as they call it in the app). Each time you shut off an alarm, you will earn Tick-Tocks.
The following screenshot shows a cuckuu ringing with shut-off option.
One of the additional features of this app is that you can also share your cuckuus globally, which means people using “Cuckuu” all around the world can see and join your cuckuus. You can make a private cuckuu which can be seen and joined by your friends only and if you choose to make your cuckuus public then it will get shared globally.
Note: This app also lets you discover and join global cuckuus shared by people around the world.
You might also like another alarm app for Android “Walk Me Up” which doesn’t stop ringing until you wake up and walk few steps.
