Apple requires apps to be visible to start playing the radio, so for the full experience, please leave the clock visible while you sleep. The app supports multiple languages and variants: English (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States), French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), and Spanish (Latin America and Spain). Perfect for bedside tables, charging stands, and those who appreciate a modern take on the classic clock radio.
