Best Clock Radio & Podcast App Reviews

Great design, but...functionally, the shoutcast stations work only haphazardly. I could live with that as I dont listen to the radio all that much - minus only 1 star. But crucially, the alarm stopped working after a couple of weeks. No idea why. No change in my routine. It simply stopped sounding the alarm. Minus 3 stars for that. I was late for work twice. Cant have that. Would love to see this design work. Sadly, it doesnt.

Cant say Ive tried every clock radio app, but I have been using this one for several years on a dedicated iPad. Very reliable on WiFi and if internet goes out it defaults to its built in sound. Shoutcast Radio station choices from around the world including sports and local CBS and NPR stations. Also several different wake up times can be set and turned on and off. Only down sides, some stations dont work and I have tired it on my iPhone while in hotels on LTE but it doesnt seem to play radio stations when the alarm goes off while on LTE. Also needs an obvious sleep button. I think it might have one but I havent figured it out. Something like after a certain time stay on for x amount of time, but this doesnt seem to be a sleep button since it seems to work as sleep if you pick a night time hour, but if it is set in the morning it determines how much longer the radio stays on after it reaches the time to turn off automatically(two hours), so I guess it might be a sleep button but it appears to be for a set time every night and for those who dont go to bed the same time every night it is problematic. This is a "very good" app (4.5 stars), and would be a perfect five statrs if: 1. A sleep button set to last for a certain amount of time that can be turned on (or off) anytime 2. Radio stations that work over LTE as well as WiFi 3. No radio stations that dont work

If you set the alarm for 2 minutes from now to test it, it works. If you set it 8 hours from now (even if you leave the screen on) it isnt going to go off in the morning. Really bad app.

This app is good for listening to radio stations but the alarm feature is intermittent at best. Sometimes it goes off but more often than not, it doesnt. Certainly not reliable if you have to get up at a particular time.

This is a great app, easy to add the station, just press & hold the radio button,alarms wake me to my radio station.

Looks modern & so easy to use. There are 9 buttons to program my favorite stations & my library! Very fast support.

1. add shuffle for library. 2. add next-previous buttons 3. add song list appearance somewhere 4. add gestures for next-previous etc. 5. let us customize clock color etc. 6. show moon phase always 7. make a better use of the screen area. 8. add option to remove that stupid useless alarm, and make space for more radio stations. 9. let us customize background wallpaper/text

Ive searched for some time looking for a bedside alarm app that wakes me to my local radio station (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) so I can hear the local news and traffic before I start my day. This app is easy to use and has worked flawlessly since I purchased it. The developer also responded quickly to my request to add my local station as it wasnt in the default list of stations. They got back to me in less than 12 hours and I was listening to local radio the next morning. Fantastic app and good support.

Best app in its category. Glitch: Often when turning my iPad 2 or iPhone 5S back on, one or two of my preset radio stations have changed. Annoying.

Take a hint from Tune in radio. They have all the functionality with alarms etc. Just make this app worth the cash. It is pretty though! I have to give it that. Pretty but needs more brains!

This app works flawlessly. Intuitive, uncluttered and and attractive. Covers all the options one would want. Highly recommended.

Great app. Very reasonably priced, provides a choice of alarm setting for different days (e.g. for weekends or different days when you ma have to catch an early flight), and offers a good selection of recorded sounds & streaming radio stations. I like how it allows you to dim down screen at night and it brightens back up automatically at wakeup time. ‘Does what it is supposed to do.

Interface not fully user-friendly. Some important internet stations could not be located

Tried numerous times to set up the alarm to come on to radio streams or playlists on my phone, but NEVER worked once. Even with the app open all night, nothing. Not much of an alarm. Hope I can get my money back.

It doesnt rotate horizontally on iPhone 5

The app prior to this update worked great, but now the slider bars for brightness and volume do not work. Please fix the non-functional sliders now!

May be the platform; dont know. But I cant count on any of these alarm clocks to work when needed. Sometimes it work sometime not. Late to work a couple of times now. Since last IOS update, the onscreen brightness and volume controls quit working. Going back to my regular old alarm clock. 8(

Like Beautiful Clock Radio Alarm for iPad, it only half works. Weather works in this one, but the volume and brightness sliders do not. I can set the location and radio buttons in this app, but the time between snoozes is impossible to set (at least that worked in the other app). Im increasingly disappointed with this app maker and Im annoyed with myself for giving them any more of my money. Buyer beware. Would not recommend any apps from this app maker until they can get their act together.

The brightness and volume slide bars no longer work. Please fix ASAP!!

I have bought many of these apps looking for one that works. This one is the best. I use it everyday.
