iHome Set is for use with all app-enhanced iHome models. iHome Set requires iOS 4.3 thru iOS 7 on iPhone, iPod touch & iPad. iHome Set provides a convenient interface to set clock, alarms, radio presets, and much more. For devices which support firmware updates, iHome Set will install updates when they are available. A note to iHome App-enhanced product owners: Building on the success of the hardware settings features within the widely popular apps, iHome+Sleep and iHome+Radio, iHome Set provides users a simple, quick-access app for hardware settings, alone. Many loyal users of iHome+Sleep and iHome+Radio requested such an app. We listened, and iHome Set is the result. Thanks very much for the feedback, and we hope many users will find iHome Set makes their iHome products even easier to use. iHome+Sleep and iHome+Radio will continue to offer advanced alarms and internet radio features, respectively. With the presence of iHome Set, Sleep and Radio will continue to evolve in a complementary fashion. We're very excited about what's in store!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Straight Talk Cloud at 4.7 against iHome Set's 2.1. Straight Talk Cloud also leads on review sentiment (26% vs 10%) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 398). iHome Set's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
