Really bad UI design for the timer. Can only enter the time with numpad and adjusts seconds by default. Touching the minute field doesn't make numpad inputs adjust the minutes. You have to enter a double 0 to make the amount you entered be interpreted as minutes. For someone young like me, this is not an issue (though still cumbersome). For elderly people like my grandmother, this makes the timer useless as it's too complicated and unintuitive for her. For a good UI example: Vivo/Huawei/IOS.

Like all things Google where the UX weenies have been let loose on production code, the new update does away with all forms of contrast, labels and iconography that may make it possible to know what you're doing. Good luck if the alarm's going off in the morning and you don't have your glasses on yet! Which way do you swipe the alarm? Who knows this week! Guess you'll find out in 10 minutes time! Good luck trying to clean out all your accumulated alarms 2 years later, "delete all" isn't a thing!

I set multiple alarms ahead of time, and that helps me manage my time for each meeting in the day. The app automatically expands the options panel of an alarm whenever I change it, and this is VERY ANNOYING. I don't need to change any of these options (ever) but everytime I need to close the panel to see the next alarm. Also, I risk to change one of these options by mistake, when the panel is open. not useful! I wish options were opened only upon request, not automatically. simple and clean.
