It says it all. Paid for premium and after ios upgrade it no longer works and there has been no response from developer to restore it despite 3 emails ADVISE YOU TO LOOK ELSEWHERE! ### 2/5 — No features *2026-01-12, version 1.1.1* Extremely limited. Even if you pay for the upgrade. No ability to change the background, fonts, etc,etc. and no hope of upgrades. Just a basic clock with a basic alarm. ### 4/5 — Perfect for me *2025-05-23, version 1.1.1* After reading the reviews I want to share this. Nightstand works when the app is opened. Once the app is closed the app won’t work. Even if your alarm is set to go off. ### 4/5 — Desktop clocks and alarm *2025-03-22, version 1.1.1* I like it. I wish it had better screens to choose from. But works great for my needs. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-01-29, version 1.1.1* I have used this app for a couple of years. Used to work great, now the alarm isn’t reliable. Rarely works. ### 4/5 — Lots to like *2025-01-19, version 1.1.1* There is a lot to like about this alarm clock, but I’ve also had it fail me twice. I set a morning alarm that worked fine for several weeks then it didn’t go off one morning. That evening I double checked to make sure the volume was up etc ( and set a second alarm a few minutes later). The first alarm didn’t go off, but the second alarm did. I’ve now deleted the first alarm and so far everything has worked fine. I’m a little concerned it will fail me again. I really like the clock on my nightstand at night. It’s easy to see and not too bright. ### 4/5 — Very nice. *2025-01-06, version 1.1.1* It would be helpful to have the clock face numbers larger to help to see across the room. ### 1/5 — Do not purchase *2024-12-05, version 1.1.1* This app has been gutted out from past versions. Save the money. All it is a clock with alarm function. Use the app that is part of apple IOS. ### 1/5 — Don’t upgrade to premium. *2024-11-30, version 1.1.1* I have used this app for ages and imo it’s ok. However decided to upgrade to premium for £2.99. Now I’m not one normally to complain about £2.99, but this gives me ZERO Benefit It only allows you to change the background gradient which are horrible. When it says custom views I’m expecting to be able to change font types, sizes bold etc. No nothing. Out of principle I’m going to get my money back. ☹️ ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-11-25, version 1.1.1* Pretty basic for the free version but it gets the job done well. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2024-11-17, version 1.1.1* I purchased the extras and when I use a song from Apple Music for the alarm sound, the app crashes instead of playing the music alarm. It works with the built in sounds but want a song to play to wake me up. ### 2/5 — What a disappointment! *2024-11-14, version 1.1.1* Wow… Old Nightstand is still on my old phone… I gave it FIVE STARS! Compared to this… I Can only give you two. When I get time… I’ll be shopping for a new app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Aprreciate you *2026-06-09, version 1.1.1* Hey thanks. Downloaded app and instead of alarm going off, it just closed the app and my son missed his appointment. Appreciate the fact thag it only has one job and failex. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-06-03, version 1.1.1* Quite often when I tap the alarm icon to change my alarm or add another one the app closes as soon as I tap it. It usually takes about 6 or 7 times before it stops crashing and actually goes to the alarms screen. I have emailed the developer and nothing has changed and no one has responded. Very frustrating!!! Edit: changing from 3 stars to 1 because the above issues have not been resolved. I’m now looking for a better app that doesn’t crash. Edit: June 3/2026. Switched back to iPhone 17 pro max. NON OF THE ABOVE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. BU-BYYYE ✌🏼 ### 1/5 — Crashes. Purchased. *2026-05-08, version 1.1.1* Bought this years ago. Now crashes constantly. Cannot be used and certainly not relied upon. ### 1/5 — Not worth it. *2025-10-25, version 1.1.1* I paid for Pro thinking it would give me more backgrounds but it didn’t give me anything. You’re better off just using the “clock alarm” on your cell. ### 1/5 — Takes Over… *2025-08-17, version 1.1.1* Looks like it might be good but the ad algorithm takes over. It makes using and more interestingly assessing its value impossible. That approach harbors problems for the future. I would not trust it. ### 1/5 — To locked down *2025-07-01, version 1.1.1* I understand you got to make money but it would be nice to have more usability versus having to pay for an app that doesn’t work well. ### 1/5 — Bad good app *2025-04-17, version 1.1.1* This was a great app wish they would fix it. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-04-01, version 1.1.1* I’ve been using this for at least 2 years, maybe more. Today the alarm did not go off. It was the front app, I set the correct time, am, volume up, plugged into charger. I did everything correctly as normal. I’ve had rare surprises before but always because of a mistake I made. So I can’t trust this anymore. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Awful “Upgrade my left foot” *2025-02-06, version 1.1.1* This use to be a very good app AND you blew it. Pay and get less, nope. This is THE WORST “Upgrade I have ever seen. Anyone who said “They Love it” is apparently on the staff of the authors. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2025-01-14, version 1.1.1* This used to be a feature rich app. I have it for many years but recently reinstalled it. It’s nothing like it used to be. As it is not really worth it and I wouldn’t recommend it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just Great *2026-06-11, version 1.1.1* Just great and just what is needed🤠 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-08, version 1.1.1* Totally recommend ### 5/5 — The nightstand App is awesome *2026-02-22, version 1.1.1* One for the hall of fame ### 5/5 — Great for middle of the night’s!! *2025-12-24, version 1.1.1* Great for middle of the nights! ### 5/5 — Great *2025-11-21, version 1.1.1* Incredible ### 5/5 — Enfin ! *2025-07-21* Enfin une application qui permet de mettre un horloge nocturne très peu lumineuse ! Merci. ### 5/5 — Review *2025-02-20, version 1.1.1* Great ### 5/5 — Nightstand *2025-02-03, version 1.1.1* It help’s me ### 5/5 — Great little app *2024-08-24, version 1.1.1* Love the fact that the alarm clock lights up the room a little as I hate pitch black. I wanted to bring a travel alarm clock but pleased I didn’t as it would have been superfluous. ### 5/5 — Great bedside clock app! *2024-06-18, version 1.1.1* I use it nightly with my iPhone resting upright on a charging stand.
