Real name is “Worst Clock Radio EVER”
Spent quite bit of time loading and setting it up….
Results:
1. Did NOT alarm at set time even though the app was open and on that screen all night.
2. Drained my battery more than 50% even though the phone was on a charger all night!
3. Did NOT dim as per setup. Far too bright for a night stand.
Complete waste of time and effort!…. Don’t bother with it

Best clock radio app
I’ve been using this app for years. If you love using it as a traditional clock radio to wake up to AM/FM stations, or to listen to AM/FM stations it remains the best. The button design to set stations, settings to set brightness and volume are great. Even provides the local weather all for a reasonable yearly fee.
The only problem for which I used to contact Mark is when certain stations change their streaming links. If you are a local CBS news radio junkie this is a regular issue since Audacy purchased these stations. I’ve notified Shoutcast about this but it is not priority for them.
For our yearly fee 😀 I would suggest Mark check the following stations quarterly or so and update the app with working links if needed for the following Audacy CBS news stations:
WBZ 1030 Boston
WCBS 880 New York
WINS 1010 New York
WBBM 780 Chicago
WKNX 1070 Los Angeles
Many of the above now simulcast with corresponding concurrent FM stations also.
and these additional city news, weather, sports stations that frequently change their links:
KTAR talk/news 98.3 Phoenix AZ
Arizona Sports 98.7 Phoenix AZ
If done for the app then everyone has these working stations rather than just for individual users.
Thanks for such a great app!

Response from developer
You should contact support if you are having problems. Weather does not sync, not sure what you mean by this. Contacting us with a problem is how we make the app better, we have had no other users report these issues so it could be your device, simply use the contact link in the weather panel and we will get back to you the same day.
How to set the alarm clock to make it work
I Followed all the instructions save and it never Alarms or I can’t hear an Alarm it’s Extremely Frustrating thanks in Advance For your Help
Paid for weather
Payed for year but only works on one of my devices
Works without fail
My iHome
Clock radio died, all the new ones are Bluetooth only. As I’m a news junky, I wake up to the local NPR station
App works perfectly, even the free version
I did upgrade to add the weather not that I really needed it. But wanted to make sure the author is making some money so he keeps updating the app, which I now depend on.
One thing I wish I could figure out. My local NPR station provides a pledge free stream for members. However the url doesn’t work in the app. Not the apps fault, as the url launches a website.
Mark if you have any suggestion, I’d love to hear it
So pledges I hear.

Sad
Doesn’t work I really liked the sounds it had to choose from too bad
Works well and great support
The app is really versatile even though using the features and buttons is not super simple and requires watching the accompanying instruction video. Wanted to add an unlisted ethnic radio (Chinese) outside the USA (in Canada). Emailed support and the station was added promptly! Great app.
Rely on it every day
I use this great clock radio every day to listen to news and public affairs programs with pre-sets for CBC, BBC, The New York Times podcast and more. I love the big clock display and the ease of use. There have been occasional problems with links to some services but this is a very minor inconvenience and the developer provides quick fixes. Overall this is the most-used app on my iPad.

FOX News goes offline. Why?
I listen to FOX NEWS every morning as my wake up channel. Ya, I know it is one sided news just like CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and NPR. But what are we to do, I just want to wake to a human voice.
Any way FOX has been working for months but now the connection just won’t connect. I have had this happen before and it did correct itself. This time however it’s been a few weeks. What’s the deal.
