Excellent Clock Radio Replacement
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. I wrote Bedside Radio for the same reason—my old clock radio died and I couldn't find a good replacement. I'm glad it's working well for you too.
Tried other apps, this one IS a real alarm clock radio
Response from developer
Thanks so much for your review. It means a lot that you’ve tried other apps and found this one does what you need. I really appreciate the support.
Needs instructions
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. I have added a User Guide to our website: https://bedsideradio.app. Select "User Guide" from the home page. Your input helps me continue improving the experience for everyone. Bedside Radio shows a Welcome screen and tip on first launch to guide you through adding your first station. After that, tap the alarm icon to add an alarm and you have a working clock radio. I’d value your thoughts on ways to make setup easier. If something didn’t work as expected, I’d like to sort it out. You can reach me at feedback@offdutyapps.com.au or via the Feedback section in the app.
Brilliant!

Can’t wake phone
This may be a limitation imposed by Apple’s software, but it effectively means that the app is not really useful, at least not to me.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Bedside Radio is designed to display the dimmed time and keep the phone awake while you sleep—just like a real clock radio. This ensures the radio can play at alarm time. iOS does not allow third-party apps to start playing streaming audio while the phone is locked. This is a system-level limitation imposed by Apple, and it affects all apps of this type. I understand this may not suit everyone. I have made this clearer in the app description and onboarding. I really appreciate you giving the app a try. If you haven’t already, please consider leaving the clock displayed while you sleep so the radio alarm works as intended.
