Can't turn off alarm w/o captcha

[Raeve]

Hi,

I think this is new. I certainly don't remember it happening before. When I try to turn off an alarm before it even goes off, I cannot do it without going through the captcha. It won't let me just turn it off. If it was after it had gone off, I would understand. But I don't want to have to go through my captcha routine just to turn off an alarm. (This has occurred a free times now, not just once.) Any ideas? Possible new bug or feature that I don't understand how to use properly yet? Thanks in advance, I'll definitely need help figuring this I've out.:-)

Petr replied Sep 10, 16:15 Hello, people tent to be very inventive in finding ways to avoid CAPTCHA and reporting back to us. So we try to make it at least more difficult. You cannot turn off a scheduled alarm if at least 1 hour ahead without completing the captcha.. Thank you very much.

Ohhh, I love this app but I really don't like that feature. Can we at least change it to make it optional? I rely on captcha to help me wake up but if want to turn off my alarm, I want to turn it off. I often don't want to wake up more while I'm turning off the captcha. I love choice. I think having the option to have captcha within an hour of alarm when turning it off is good, but forced without choice, not good. Customizable captcha is perfect, having different levels of difficulty and other tricks to get a person awake is very creative. But not needed or wanted for all. Captcha isn't a game to outsmart to me, it's a tool. I'm sure other people may look at it as a game and that's perfect for them but please don't make it forced for everyone.

Petr replied Sep 22, 16:42 Hello, the reason for this is that heavy sleeper tent to learn how to avoid captcha, for example when they wake up before the alarm they simply turn it of and continue sleeping and than oversleep. Could you describe your use-case in detail? Why would you like to be able to avoid the alarm altogether and why would you not reschedule the alarm or skip next execution of the alarm before going to bed?

Thank you very much. Best regards, Petr Nalevka Urbandroid Team
