Are y’all ever gonna update it for full resolution on iPhone X and higher devices? ### 5/5 — Well worth the price *2020-11-27, version 1.5.3* But seriously, it’s nice to have a sweep second hand, in Classic Black the battery doesn’t take a hit. Enough of the features work with the un-listed Sony earbuds I use, like timers, etc. But what I really like is that when the clock is on display the phone doesn’t lock. That can be handy. It temporarily overrides the settings time-out. Once you switch apps, your auto-lock setting kicks back in. But like I indicated, in Classic Black it can be left on top all night and in the morning the battery hasn’t really lost percentage. ### 4/5 — Works with iPhone X *2018-03-13, version 1.5.3* I used this with my iPhone 4 on a Sony radio. Recently purchased the lightning adapter (only works with official oem Apple adapter) and it works perfectly with my iPhone X. My only complaint is I’d like to program each day of the week for waking up to a different song each morning and it only lets me select weekly. Needs an update as I don’t want to wake up to the same song every morning. ### 3/5 — Not much to it *2018-01-16, version 1.5.3* Basically, the purpose of this app is to sync the time to your Sony iPhone/iPad/iPod sound dock. It does what it needs to do, and nothing more. I grew concerned that they wouldn't update the app to work with iOS 10, as it had gone for 4 years without any updates. Fortunately, Sony FINALLY updated the app. ### 5/5 — It works again! *2017-10-16, version 1.5.2* I have a RDP-XA700IPN and an iPhone 8 so I am very very happy to see this app get updated and working again. Thank You! ### 4/5 — Support update needed *2017-09-26, version 1.4.0* I have had this app to go with my dock for several years and it has worked wonderfully it to now!! Please get iOS 11 support!! This app is my primary alarm and at home program. Please hurry!! ### 1/5 — No Longer Works *2017-08-10, version 1.4.0* I had this alarm clock for not even a year before the app stopped working. They stopped updating it and now my phone doesn't charge or play music when plugged into the port. I had to delete the app because it was in fact slowing my phone down. ### 1/5 — Orphaned App *2017-07-07, version 1.4.0* It's a shame that a company like Sony, once a leader in Consumer Electronics has let this app go into oblivion. My iPhone 6+ will not play upon insetting into the adapter then insetting into the deck. After pressing on/off, audio in, mode, iPod&iPhone, OFF in some random order, then stopping and restarting my phone maybe I'll get some music. If the app were updated to iOS 10.3 I doubt I'd be having this issue. It's shame seeing apps left by the wayside, no longer supported due to other profitable projects within a company. And no I will not be buying a 4K Sony DSLR, nor will I buy a Sony OLED TV. There are better products for less money available. The savvy Consumer has spoken with his checkbook once again! ### 3/5 — Has not been updated in years *2017-03-02, version 1.4.0* I own the speakers and they still work and I use it still everyday but it's not updated for iOS 10. Hopefully they can update the app sometime. ### 1/5 — App Update needed!! *2017-02-14, version 1.4.0* The dream machine worked great.. but the past week for some odd reason my alarm isn't working right, the machine itself is saying my alarm is going off.. but no sound!! But can play my music on the thing and it's fine! It keeps telling me it needs an update on the app. Maybe that's what is wrong!?
