Indeed, I can't see why they did it like that, did they even actually try to use it? Sleep and then try to snooze it when groggy in the morning with a blaring alarm? And then hit a BIG button just once that dismisses the entire thing, where you think you've snoozed it? Silly.
So I moved away from Samsung alarm, and am now using "Alarm Clock Xtreme". It's a fantastic app, and allows various different dismiss / snooze settings.
Snooze is a nice, big button in the centre, timed how I want it.
Dismiss is a small button at the bottom that I have to press and hold for a good few seconds for it to register. Never missed a meeting since!
Oh and better than that, it even has a wakeup check, where it will ring again even after dismissing, unless I cancel the wakeup check (just a click on a notification). I've set that for 3 mins after dismiss, so if I dismiss then fall asleep again, it's ok!
It also has a cool feature where it plays sounds of birds or waves or whatever x mins before your alarm rings, to slowly / subconsciously wake you from deeper to lighter sleep before ringing.
If you don't want the press / hold to dismiss, there's other various settings too.
So Samsung's stupidity has now had me completely unset everything from their alarm app, and move to another with better features.
