Improvements • Smoother navigation throughout the app, with cleaner transitions between screens. • Clearer, better-organized Preferences — including the 24-hour clock setting. • If Apple Music access hasn't been granted, you'll now get a helpful prompt explaining what to do. • Refined brightness controls for a more intuitive experience. Bug Fixes • Fixed an issue where the sleep timer would fade out unexpectedly when handing off to an alarm. • Fixed 24-hour time formatting. • Custom background photos now stay visible after reinstalling the app or moving to a new device. • Improved data migration to safely preserve your alarms, preferences, and photos when updating from earlier versions — including on older devices.

Great clock

I missed Nightstand Central when I got a new iPhone and iPad. This is a great replacement for it. Love the photos he selected. Responsive to email questions too. Thanks for making this app.

Great click

I love this app and have replaced my old alarm clock with this. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the fact that I can not find a way make the alarm icon on the screen larger, it is too small to see

I’ve been waiting for this!

I haven’t had an alarm clock on my iPad since Nightstand Central was discontinued years ago, because nothing met those standards. I’ve continued searching for a “new” Nightstand Central ever since, and here it is! Nightstand Plus is almost identical and I’m so unbelievably happy and thankful to the developers for creating this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
If you are reading this, I hope you will consider one small change , and that is the ability to move the clock around the screen and to be able to make it even smaller. On the original Nightstand I was able to shrink the clock and move it to the bottom corner of the screen so the focus was on the beautiful picture as if it were a framed photograph. Having the clock smack dab in the middle of the picture is a huge negative for me. You still get five stars because everything else is perfect and I’m hoping I’ll be able to move the clock out of the way in the somewhat near future.

Awesome!

I am so happy to find Nightstand Plus in the App Store. For years I’ve been babying Nightstand Central on an old, old iPad. It is my go-to for time, weather and alarms. Nightstand Plus works flawlessly. I was pleased that I could pay a one-time fee instead of a subscription. Great job!

24 hour clock option needed.

Almost perfect. Just need the option of a 24 hour clock.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for the review. Nightstand Plus will follow your device settings for 24 hour format, it also gives you an option to override those settings and force a 24 hour format.
