User reviews

Very useful with one recommendation

The color and brightness settings are great and allow for extremely dim usage, but it would be great if the vertical configuration would wrap to two lines rather than displaying the ellipsis which isn’t very useful.

Great App!

I like the app, but I do have one issue with it. I don’t like having to set the font size every time I open the app. Is there possibly a way to fix this issue?

Edit: Thank you for fixing that minor issue. I have now given the app the 5 stars it deserves.

Response from developer

The latest version (2.0.3) should fix this. Thank you for raising the issue! I hope you’re enjoying Nightstand X 😃

iPad date time and battery still visible

I see the time and date and battery/WiFi icons on the top left and right of my iPad, so this nice, configurable display is a bit pointless and unusable. The photos on the store don’t show the same screen display I see - is they a way to get just a dark screen with the digital time in the centre, or have I just wasted $0.99?

Decent alarm new sounds

the alarm is okay but I just can’t figure out how the nsx sounds preview or even load onto the apple clock app. I see them in the app but nowhere else. It will only show and play the apple sounds. Not a huge deal but some new alarm clock sounds would be nice. It would also be nice if there was some type of small indicator to show an alarm is set when in nightstand mode.

Just what I was looking for!

If you do a 2 finger double tap it allows you to set an alarm. Press hard and it takes you to the app settings. I can make it extremely dim and customize the color. Thanks for this app!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you like the app!
