## What is Nightstand X?

Nightstand X is a dark clock perfect for bedtime use. The black background with dark text is just bright enough to be seen in the dead of night without being blinding. Too bright still? Or is it too dark for your liking? The clock's brightness is completely customizable! Don't like the color? Change it too!

Nightstand X is excellent when traveling, because it's darker than many hotel room clocks, and the time is always correct. It's even got a rainbow of color options!

The alarm feature is brand new and designed from the ground up. Many different sounds are available to choose from, whether you want the classic Alarm sound for that jolt of adrenaline, or a soothing melody to gently pull you from your slumber.

While Nightstand X supports many different versions of iPhone, when paired with an OLED phone (iPhone X, XS, XS Max, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max), Nightstand X is the darkest bedside clock available!

### 4/5 — Very useful with one recommendation

*2022-06-30*

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.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-02-03*

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.

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

### 2/5 — iPad date time and battery still visible

*2020-12-04*

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?

### 3/5 — Decent alarm new sounds

*2019-12-06*

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.

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for!

*2019-05-13*

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!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m glad you like the app!

### 4/5 — Simple, nice...just no alarm

*2019-03-31*

I like that I can make the clock the entire size of the display, so nice when you where glasses and can’t see the clock at night. I also like the utter simplicity but I would have liked an alarm feature. Just not sure I’ll use this clock without an alarm.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your suggestion! We now have an alarm :) hope you enjoy it!

### 2/5 — Simple but inflexible

*2018-12-23*

Nice subtle time display but cannot be modified. No settings for display size (all I wanted) or color.

**Developer response:** The latest version has both of these features 👌 thanks for the suggestion!
