WHAT IS 'TOKI CLOCK''?
'Toki Clock' is a clock app for your iPhone/iPod touch. Have your iPhone/iPod touch display the time, calendar, and time from cities around the world while it is being charged.

simultaneously. You can choose from 244 major cities around the

=====
IMPORTANT NOTE. PLEASE READ BEFORE USING ALARM FROM iPod MUSIC LIBRARY:
To avoid going into Sleep mode, Toki Clock disables System's Auto-Lock setting when 'Toki Clock' is running.
I think this is the spec of iPhone/iPod touch but once a song is played from your iPod Library, the disabling System's Auto-Lock function no longer works. When this happens, your iPhone/iPod touch will go into sleep mode at the specified time that is set in the System's Auto-Lock setting even when 'Toki Clock' is running. (For the same reason, when you listen to a song you selected in the Alarm settings windows in Toki Clock even for once, the Auto-Lock setting will go back to the System's Auto-Lock setting.)
You can restart 'Toki Clock' app and it will disable System's Auto-Lock setting again while 'Toki Clock' is running.
When the alarm from iPod Library sounds and when you tap on [Snooze] button, your iPhone/iPod touch will go into sleep mode at the specified time that is set in the System's Auto-Lock setting. Once your iPhone/iPod touch is in the sleep mode, sometimes, the alarm will NOT sound.
To work around this, when using a song from iPod Library
for alarm, change the System's Auto-Lock setting to 'Never' or simply just don't
use Snooze feature. I apologize for this inconvenience. I couldn't
find work around for this at the source code level after spending so much time
trying to figure this out.
