Not that great

Too complicated. Options kept disappearing from the screen. Finally removed the app.

Misleading app description & upgrade prompts

This app is misleading about what is included in the free version (not the paid version), and also in how it tries to get you to upgrade to the paid version without telling you thats what youre doing. To be clear: the free version (i.e. the app advertised and downloaded here) does NOT include a weather forecast and only has 1 programmable radio button, not 9. Otherwise it tells you that iCloud must be activated (even when it already is) and asks you to "subscribe" to activate those features. Sounds like youre subscribing to some kind of data source within the free app, right? Wrong. The "subscribe" option asks you to log in to the App Store — at which point you are buying the paid version. It doesnt tell you youre making a purchase, and the prompts deliberately try to hide that fact. As does the description of the app here (arent those features included?). Luckily I didnt put in my password to buy the app, and when I tried to program a button and it finally mentioned "the paid version" I realized what was going on. Very shoddy and shady, dishonest salesmanship. Dont con your customers into paying for an app without explicit knowledge that thats what theyre doing. Gross.

Not reliable

Dont get this app if you need to wake up. Sometimes it just doesnt go off, seems to only work 75% of the time. Find a different app.

Crap shoot

It works. But which alarm will go off today... The 6:30 or the 6:30 and the 7? Will it be radio or iPod? Or will it be a silent message on my screen? The sound is not integrated with iOS so you cannot turn it off from the lock screen. You have go back into the app.

Good but could be improved

They need to make it so you can adjust the volume for each individual alarm. Also, the interface could be better.

Doesnt work

Tried selecting different radio stations or music genres and, just beeps when alarm time hits. Terrible

Unreliable clock radio = not good!!

Set it all up correctly, when the phone is in sleep mode it didnt work at all. When I had the screen on it only beeped quietly a few times. Then going into the app the radio finally starts to play. Unfortunately a different station plays than what was selected. Another time the beep and the music together went off. Just buy a cheap actually clock radio and save yourself the frustration.. Bonus point for KCRW but if random stations start playing its no real help...

Radio alarm didnt work for me

Tries wake up with radio station but when the alarm went off, only the default music was played

NOT AN ALRM CLOCK but good radio player. TOO quiet

App Seemed to function ok on iPad Air, EXCEPT... the sound always comes on with ONLY 1/3 the level which is not loud enough to wake you up. Especially if you keep your device across the room to avoid emf radiation while you sleep. Only way to make volume correct is pushing buttons on iPad after it is on. You mean while you are asleep? Oh right!!! while you are asleep get up to fix the alarm so it wakes you up???? This OBVIOUSLY makes the app USELESS for its stated purpose. Change the name to radio player because it has a very nice international selection. Its just not an alarm clock.

Buggy

It wont remember the station I selected and instead plays the default music.

The best free app!

Seeing the the reviews here I wonder why they dont contact support. I had a issue and they solved it. No problem

Not an alarm clock

Just a radio with an auto sleep timer and weather if you pay 4.99

Highly recommended for free app!

Great free alarm clock app! Highly recommended!

Works as advertised for me!

App works great after talking to support they sorted me out on one issue. Love waking up to my radio station and listening as i go to bed, the weather seems to be very accurate.

Sub-par alarm clock

I was able to use my local news radio station, and then I wasnt. The snooze button worked, now it does not. The volume setting worked, and now it doesnt. On the plus side, the alarm will start as scheduled. However, this app does not run in the background - you must bring it forward, every night, before bed.
