I expected to be able to move all my alarms from the alarm-clock-applet to this application. It is apparently vastly improved over the applet since it allows setting up alarms by dates/days as well as times. It also seems to be considerably extended to allow special entries and templates.

While setting up my various alarms, on one occasion the application terminated without warning
On an immediately following occasion, the package hung when I pressed the OK button.

This application should clearly be marked beta, and, frankly, it is not ready for people.
