### 2/5 — Meh

*2013-08-15, version 1.0.2*

Looks good, radio is woeful. Alarm goes off every Wednesday even though its set for mon tues thurs fri. Alarm is shockingly difficult to add your own music to

### 2/5 — Impossible de s'y fier

*2013-01-16*

Fonctionne de façon aléatoire. La musique part des l'ouverture de l'application et il faut aller dans iTunes pour l'arrêter. Aucunes des fonctions ne fait ce qu'elle devrait faire. Dommage que iLuv ne se donne pas la peine de faire une application qui fonctionne vraiment avec ses appareils.  Vraiment décevant.

### 1/5 — Terrible...

*2013-01-07, version 1.0.2*

I used a previous version 2 years ago and it worked fine. I have had this version for 2 weeks now and it hasn't woken me up once. The app doesn't override the sleep mode on my phone and there's no easy way round this. Don't know what the developers have done to ruin what used to be quite a sound concept. Deleted from my phone and I've gone back to my old fashioned but functioning alarm clock. Truly terrible

### 2/5 — Was good. They moved weather.

*2012-12-06, version 1.0.2*

This app is pretty basic. It has a lot of functions, but they keep messing with it. It had time and weather on the same screen, but now they are separate tabs. I actually own the iluv dock and it's great. I'd love to see weather back on the clock page (or option to have both) so that I can get the information just by glancing at my phone. Screenshots for products are incorrect!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2012-11-28, version 1.0.2*

This app is unreliable. It keeps shutting off, therefore the alarm doesn't go off and I woke up many times late for work!

### 2/5 — Great when it works

*2012-11-09, version 1.0.2*

I luvved this app when first installed.  Great to awaken to a different one if my favorite tunes each day

However, frequently when I am choosing the tune for the alarm, that song begins to play and will not stop.  Only way to correct this is to delete and re-load the app.  And that makes this app pretty darn unusable.

### 1/5 — Doesn't wake you up!

*2012-10-21, version 1.0.1*

It looks pretty...the clock will stay on all night and the second the alarm is supposed to go off...the entire screen turns black and shuts off! Then when I touch the screen...after I wake up late of course...then the alarm goes off instantly!!! The Internet radio app used to work until I updated to iOS 6... Now it's no good. Wouldn't recommend unless you are just using as a clock.

### 1/5 — ILuv is not luvable

*2012-10-15, version 1.0.1*

Worthless & doesn't deserve one star

### 1/5 — Don't bother!!

*2012-10-10, version 1.0.1*

I bought the iLuv speaker dock on groupon and its great... But this app is horrendous. First of all it is not nice to look at, and not very user friendly. I can never get my alarm to go off correctly unless the screen is constantly on. I cannot sleep with a bright light in my face, even with the dimmer. The normal alarm in the clock app seems to work fine when I test it. Don't bother with this app.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2012-10-06, version 1.0.1*

It's a great design w terrible malfunction radio capabilities. Now I can't play pandora radio and my own music library has to be downloaded again. The pre set radio stations dont play right away and for several minutes i have to work in front of this mini speaker to my dispair. Hoping this app gets an overall fixer up.

### 1/5 — Alarm didn't go off

*2012-10-03, version 1.0.1*

The alarm didn't go off. I have the standalone app - no hardware.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.1*

Thanks to this crappy clock my alarm never went off. Do not dl unless you don't want it to wake you up.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2012-09-26, version 1.0.1*

Grab a baseball bat and remake the scene from the movie office space

### 1/5 — Wish I could do 0 stats

*2012-09-19, version 1.0.1*

This app is HORRIBLE!  Not user friendly.  Cannot find any radio stations, alarm stinks and can't use phone alarm when docked.  PLEASE FIX THESE PROBLEMS !  Bought from
Groupon.  Should have come with a warning.

### 1/5 — Complete crap

*2015-08-14, version 1.0.2*

I bought an iluv alarm clock docking system and it requires this app to even work. I downloaded the app and it won't even open. I'm taking back the $90 iluv alarm clock and getting my money back what a freaking joke. Now I have to waste my time and gas to go bring it back. No wonder I got the alarm clock on clearance for $24 dollars. Stupid!

### 1/5 — Fix it

*2015-02-13, version 1.0.2*

I loved it and would give it a five star review except you can't stop the music occasionally and have to reinstall the app or it doesn't work! Please don't but iluv products until they fix their crappy app

### 1/5 — Alarm doesn't work!!

*2014-09-28, version 1.0.2*

This clock was a waste of money and I couldn't waste my money on something that's not going to work!! I need a refund! I'm returning it!

### 1/5 — I hate being forced into downloading any software

*2014-09-07, version 1.0.2*

For the simple fact that the "Dock is not compatible because the software is not installed, would you like to install it now?" notification popped up EVERY SINGLE TIME I PUT MY iPad ON THE DOCK, I am giving this app one star. It's obnoxious, manipulative, and a waste of precious space. I will never open or run the app, either. 

I hate the fact that you, by sheer obnoxious pop-up notifications, forced me into downloading an app I DO NOT WANT AND DO NOT NEED. 

GET YOUR BUSINESS PROGRAM TOGETHER AND QUIT MANIPULATING YOUR CUSTOMER BASE. 

At least it was free, it's got that going for it.

### 1/5 — Ever tried user testing or nah?

*2014-09-02, version 1.0.2*

Alarm doesn't go off if phone is locked, but if I turn off autolock I can't sleep because the screen is too bright! And turning the brightness down on the app doesn't work properly. I bought the iluv dock which is good, but you can't use any of the settings on the dock in conjunction with the app, so its kinda pointless even having the app. Also, there are no uk radio stations on the app which is annoying. The dock itself is brilliant. Don't bother with the app.

### 1/5 — Same app, same problems

*2013-12-29, version 1.0.2*

This app is the same as the main app they offer. I got the dock for Christmas, and tried testing it yesterday and today.. But The alarm never went off. It's depressing cuz I'm sure my parents could have used the money they spent on this for something more useful like an alarm clock that actually goes off. The app keeps reshuffling my music mid song which is quite jarring, and the app has trouble staying open. I'm supposed to be acclimating myself to college life with the alarm clock, but I don't have any other alarm clock thats loud enough and this one doesn't function.. I would recommend that you skip this app, as it is a waste of space, time, and effort.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2013-08-18, version 1.0.2*

Crashes ever time the alarm goes off.

### 1/5 — Ugh!!

*2013-03-27, version 1.0.2*

Horrible app! Works sometimes! The app shuts down when my alarm is supposed to go off thus no alarm! Please please please fix this app! I didn't spend 80$ on a iluv alarm dock for nothing!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2013-03-26, version 1.0.2*

Works as a clock and Internet radio but don't count on the alarm on this app to wake you up in the morning as it probably won't.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-01-15, version 1.0.2*

Instead of the alarm going off at the proper time, it locks my iPad instead.

### 5/5 — Hello

*2018-07-22, version 1.0.2*

I love this app I just wish that they were updated to the latest iOS

### 5/5 — Got the lot

*2013-01-24, version 1.0.2*

Very versatile, loads of features bad seems to work well.

### 5/5 — very good

*2012-11-23, version 1.0.2*

cool to look at cant fault it. I presume the only difference between this and their other clock is this is HD ?

### 5/5 — At last!

*2012-10-25, version 1.0.2*

Well done Iluv, you managed at long last to get the big friendly clock back! Thank you

### 5/5 — H

### 5/5 — iMM190 volume works

*2012-02-08, version 1.0.1*

Looks like the alarm volume works with my mm190 dock.  Nice app!

### 5/5 — Works completely if connected

*2012-02-02, version 1.0*

You have to have a clock made by these people if you want the alarm to work. If you don't have the clock, just use the pre-installed alarms on the iPod or iPhone. If you do have the clock, use the handy volume control buttons on it to set the alarm volume, because the unconnected iPod  defaults to medium volume if it isn't plugged into the clock, but seriously don't bother with this app if you aren't going to get the clock.

### 5/5 — Does what it's supposed too

*2012-01-20, version 1.0*

I don't understand what all the issues and moaning are about? As far as my usage goes with this app, it does exactly what it's supposed to do. 
What does everyone want for nothing? A built in teas maid!!?

### 4/5 — Needs an update won't work with iPhone 6.0 update

*2012-09-22, version 1.0.1*

Alarm clock has been great, until the iPhone 6.0 update now app doesn't work properly, it just plays iTunes no longer works as alarm clock needs to be updated so it works with the new Apple IPhone 6.0 update!!!!

### 3/5 — Mackenna

*2012-12-18, version 1.0.2*

I Love this app and is really helpful in the morning.

However, most of the time when I open the app my music starts to play and I cannot get it to stop. The only way to solve this problem is by deleting and reloading the app and I do that about two times a week and it gets really annoying. I was fine with it the first time but now I can't stand it.

I still love and use the app everyday, I just wish there was a way to fix the music problem.
