Highly recommended for free app!
Great free alarm clock app! Highly recommended!
Buggy
It won't remember the station I selected and instead plays the default music.
Stick to v4.3!
Wake to radio not working. Snooze not working. Screen rotation is great though.
Regret updating from 4.3 to 4.4. Hope fix is coming.

Doesn't do what it says
The app has some functionality, but mostly builds upon the foundations of the apps it syncs with (e.g. Spotify) but doesn't actually alarm with the sound of radio, merely sending a push notification to "remind you of the time". Fail.

Do to restriction in the iOS the app need to be on screen and running to sound the radio as an alarm. Contacting support would help you with your issue.
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. It's just not an alarm clock.

Immediate Delete
To set weather you need an annual subscription. Only 9 radio stations, all US, not much food to wake up to anywhere else in the world - immediate delete...

Jacccccyboy, Please update your review as it is very misleading. We have over 50,000 radio stations. because you did not take the time to read the popup info graphics that explained how to use the app when you first installed it does not mean you can not program a radio button.
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.
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.

Not reliable
Don't get this app if you need to wake up. Sometimes it just doesn't go off, seems to only work 75% of the time. Find a different 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 that's what you're 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 you're 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 doesn't tell you you're making a purchase, and the prompts deliberately try to hide that fact. As does the description of the app here (aren't those features included?). Luckily I didn't 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. Don't con your customers into paying for an app without explicit knowledge that that's what they're doing. Gross.

Bahgail, It sounds like you are confused as to how Apple in-app purchases work. Contact support if you need help.
