A little disappointedSince the last update the snooze and off buttons moved to the bottom of the screen which I think makes it harder to use. Also, yesterday morning I hit the snooze and it somehow had turned itself off and I was late getting up! Also, the update reset the music I had set for my alarm without me knowing. I think I have everything back in order now but it would have been nice to know about these things ahead of time. Is there a Limit to the number of snoozes now? And please, please put the buttons back at the top!.Version: 2.4

???Funny thing happen. I have the free app but just bought the 7.99 app. When I open the paid app it reverts to the free app and I don't get the option to set up the radio. Any suggestions?.Version: 5.6

Needs station search by nameTake 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!.Version: 3.5

Not Again…You have removed Fox News feeds again! Fox radio is the only reasonable talk station available on weekends. Please don’t remove them. Please don’t try to determine what stations I listen to by blocking those you don’t approve of. Please pardon me if it’s a glitch with every Fox station you offer, in that case I apologize for thinking you would act like twitter..Version: 8.8.9

Desktop gadgetYou need to update the program so that the liitle program box in the desktop also shows the correct time! Sometimes you don't have time to open the app to look at the time and the gadget on the desk shows the same time all the time please fix! Veteran Request👺.Version: 4.0

No BluetoothUnable to connect to Bluetooth speaker after last update.Version: 8.3.9

Not compatible with iOS alarm?I like this app, and it used to work well, but a few months ago it started doing this thing where the app will not turn on the radio at the appointed alarm time if I also set an alarm for the same time in the built in iOS alarm app. Most of the time it doesn't work, but every now and then it does. Maybe it has something to do with slightly different alarm times. Wish you would fix this. [EDIT]: In reply to the developer's reply, Notifications are on. Seems to be a conflict with the iOS built in alarm..Version: 5.6

Almost there!So far it's a reliable alarm clock, which is more than I can say for most every other radio alarm clock in the App Store. I just have 2 complaints that would make me change this rating to 5 stars (1 star a piece): 1) Give the option to start up the app on the alarm page instead of the channel buttons (or just remember your settings) 2) Fix the weather label so it shows your city instead of just your state.Version: 2.8

Only Half WorksLike 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). I'm increasingly disappointed with this app maker and I'm 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..Version: 3.0

Sh!te...App mis-aligns on screen and buttons freeze. Plus no way to search for radio stations, you have to scroll through (50,000 ?!) stations that are not in alphabetical order. As usual, no way to complain, reclaim money... Save your money - DO NOT BUY..Version: 4.3

Wish I could give it 0 stars!Unfortunately the best clock radio app went out of business so I had to find a new one, especially with a sleep timer. This app is awful! Works when it wants to, usually not. Considering I'm an IT guy, I find this app to be infuriatingly inept especially when I paid for the full version!.Version: 5.6

Now this app does not work correctly after ios8 updateI have used this app as my bedside radio alarm clock for the last 18 months with no problems at all. Since latest iOS update radio now will only stay on for approx 3-5 minutes each morning before shutting off on its own....very frustrating. I deleted and downloaded app again but still no better. My IPhone 5s works fine with it because the software is not updated to latest 8 version...are the designers of this app doing anything to compliment the new software and help retain their core of dedicated users?.Version: 4.1

Needs ImprovementsInterface not fully user-friendly. Some important internet stations could not be located.Version: 4.6

The BCR slogan 'I hate my clock radio' is ironic because I often feel like that about this one.When it works it's great but alarm unreliable and often has difficulties just streaming radio for listening. Typical support response the app is perfect line and you'e using the app wrong or don't have notifications on when you do. Other blame they use is iOS but no other app seem to have same issues. No amount of reinstalling helps. The alarm feature is also disabled if you want to run other apps in the background like radio steaming that do work, sleep cycle as back up alarm or meditation or sleep sounds you may want to run. Doesn't remember last song if you want to run iTunes library always reverting to beginning and no functionality to skip. Also doesn't let you totally dim screen for sleep mode. Sleep function is also maxed out at only 1 hour. Asked support where help guide is in case some of these things are covered but no response. Also even on iPad easy to turn alarm off while aiming for snooze, you have to get the exact smaller touch button instead of anywhere on the screen like sleep cycle allows. Good idea but user functionality in context with how and when the user will be using it (ie tired or half asleep) misses the mark.Version: 5.9

Alarm won't work on iPhone 6Tried 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..Version: 4.6

Alarm stopped workingGreat design, but...functionally, the shoutcast stations work only haphazardly. I could live with that as I don't 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. Can't have that. Would love to see this design work. Sadly, it doesn't..Version: 4.7

It Ticks but dont TockBought this App and its flawed. The alarm does not work on my iPhone. Contacted and no response make that twice. So there is no backup Caveat Emptor with this App.Version: 4.6

Sound becomes distorted after several daysThis app was pretty dependable until the last update. Now, after about a week the sound will become severely distorted and garbled. You have to quit the app completely and restart to fix the problem. This is getting to be a real pain so I am looking around for another app today..Version: 5.6

One vital flawThis would be the perfect clock radio for me if it weren't for the fact that it has no buffering so I'm lucky to get 10 mins of radio play before I have to manually re-start it. Such a shame. Other radio apps don't have the functionality but at least they work..Version: 4.1

Doesn’t workMusic alarm doesn’t work. Won’t play the AM station I’ve selected. Notifications is on. Using most current iOS system. Restarted app still won’t work. Test 10 times and still nothing. I’ve wasted $7..Version: 5.9

Extremely UnreliableIt's hit or miss if the alarm actually goes off. I don't recommend this for a primary alarm if you actually need to get up at a certain time. If all you're wanting is to listen to a radio, this app is decent, but don't expect to be able to wake up to the radio. Has a horrible user interface. Swiping to view alarms only works occasionally. You can save up to 9 stations but are only allowed to use the first 6 saved as one of your alarms. Lazy design is what that is. Also the stations seem to change themselves at random to things I didn't set. Even locating stations is a pain and no way to rearrange them once you've saved some. Very awkward unintuitive UI. This app is all kinds of a hot mess. I tried it for a week but have deleted it. Not worth the headache to use..Version: 4.7

Good...but with one issue.It's still a good app, but ever since the latest update the alarm has awaken me to "Good Morning." A good wake up alarm, but I would rather wake up to a certain radio station I have it at up for. (Tried it with both iPod Touch and iPhone, did this with both items.) Update: if you change the buttons from their presets, it wakes you up to "Good Morning." Doesn't matter if the station is among those included or added by the user..Version: 4.4

Stopped working since iOS 14.3Used to work, now crashes when I boot it ever since iOS 14.3. Tried deleting and reinstalling and no luck.Version: 8.6

No external speaker functionalityWhat happened to driving Bluetooth speakers. The JBL speaker of mine cannot be driven anymore. Instead there is this lame iPhone speaker boost which is worthless..Version: 8.3.9

Should be a 4-5 star reviewI've used this app for over a year and have been very pleased with it until now. Ever since the last update, it no longer wakes me up to the radio station I selected, but instead to a pre installed new age song. Also, I can no longer use it to fall asleep to the radio: the sleep feature doesn't turn off the radio. I would like to reverse my rating, and will do so once the radio alarm is functioning again..Version: 4.4

Extremely disappointedThe alarm doesn’t work. Would love my money back. Terrible waste of money..Version: 7.2

Pop ups turn it off!This app has everything I am looking for... Only one BIG problem. If I have anything that is set as a pop up notification that happens prior to the alarm going off BCR doesn't make the alarm! I have calendar reminders and weather notifications that are set to pop up everyday. This makes BCR useless. Can't this be fixed???.Version: 3.7

App won't openDon't buy this app, as it won't open once downloaded. You'll do your money like I did..Version: 1.6

Great Potential -Lacking Critical FeatureThis has the potential to be my favorite alarm clock, and I have a lot of them. Unfortunately it's missing a critical feature; the ability to assign days of week to the alarms. I'm confident they will address this shortcoming which will allow me to do a more thorough review and hopefully give then 4-5 stars..Version: 2.5

It just dosn't workHave been trying for a number of days to get this working, but just not happening. The support is good, very quick response no problem there, but the app just doesn’t work. I know iOS9 is causing all sorts of problems, but if it’s not going to let your app work in its current form, pull it from the store, fix/change it and then put it up again..Version: 4.6

QuirkyThis app works but you have to leave it open all night (you can use the dimmer mode) for it to wake you up using the radio in the morning. If your phone locks or goes to sleep, the app won’t wake you up! It will either play the default music, or it will just pop up a notification and not play any sound at all. Definitely a significant limitation. If you want to leave the app open, keep the screen active, and not let your phone go to sleep, then it will work. Not for me..Version: 4.6
