Best Clock Radio & Podcast for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best Alarm Clock RadioI have tried so many alarm clock radio Apps but discarded all of them except this one. It is the one I now use every day and it does exactly what I need. The radio stations work perfectly and it has never let me down. The only thing I would say is that it takes a while to understand how it works and it’s not easy to understand and use all its great features, but once you do it is perfect. Well done!.Version: 7.2
✓ Love this app!I plug it into a Bose sound dock overnight and into car power on the road. I've used BCR for at least a year and love flipping among favorite radio streams around the world. I love jazz and have buttons for WBGO, Jazz24, TSF Jazz, CJRT, KKJZ, KNKX, plus one to randomly play Thelonious Monk music from my library. I'm not aware of anything remotely comparable. My most used and favorite app..Version: 5.6
✓ Awesome!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..Version: 3.2
✓ Awesome appI love my BCR. I have taken it when I travel domestically and internationally using it to stay in touch with home. I have had a few issues with it, but support has always been very responsive with any problems. The problems have mostly been with the radio stations themselves and not the program. I love the fact I can get most any radio stations I want, including international ones..Version: 7.3
✓ Ios9 failureThis was my favorite clock radio until I upgraded to iOS 9. Now it just looks pretty but won't wake me to my favorite stations. Please fix this ASAP. Until then there are other free apps that work! ******* Re-review I deleted the app and re-downloaded it. Now it works perfectly!!! The upgrade to iOS9 must have done something to this app’s database. Be sure to save any URLs before deleting if you programmed your own radio stations. I’m again very happy as this was a big part of every day. This is the BEST radio alarm app..Version: 4.6
✓ NIce but a little buggyThis does a lot, I have only had it 2 days but experiencing some growing pains. My all my local stations don't play when I choose them from US radio, and I have been unable to get them to pay by putting in the URL address. More of a pain is that after I hit the snoooze button once, the alarm off button no long works in landscape mode, I am forced to pick up my Ipad and shift to portrait. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and alarm off always works the first time, but once i hit snooze during furhter testing it is done. Still i give 4 stars because overall I like it. Hopefully the snooze/alarm off bug will be reported by more people than I..Version: 4.1
✓ Great appI like everything about this app, it's very well done. But would like to see moon phases represented, also doesn't seem show that it's raining at night? Would also be great to be able to have player buttons when playing music from my library, to skip songs etc..Version: 4.5
✓ Great App/Terrific SupportWhen my aged dual-alarm clock radio died, the physical replacement options were sad - very sad. But finding this app and running through the informative online video, I discovered exactly what I wanted/needed. As full featured as it is, the interface is simple and intuitive. One small, local station issue I had was quickly addressed. Works and delivers as promised. A great buy!.Version: 2.7
✓ BCR bedside clockI've had this app for well over a year and find it the perfect replacement for a bedside clock and radio. I charge my iPhone overnight, propped up against my bedside light. The variable brightness is excellent and the ease of setting alarms and times is exemplary. The choice of radio stations is huge, though there are other media available. I also have the same app on my iPad. I did have a problem with it recently, but an email to the creators was answered immediately and resolved the problem (solution: delete and reinstall). Highly recommended..Version: 4.5
✓ Best AppCan't say I've 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 don't work and I have tired it on my iPhone while in hotels on LTE but it doesn't 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 haven't figured it out. Something like after a certain time stay on for x amount of time, but this doesn't 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 don't 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 don't work.Version: 4.8
✓ Outstanding in every wayThis is by far the best clock radio app I’ve ever seen (hence the name). It’s stable, easy to use, and has expansive functionality. I find myself using it all the time; by my bed, in the car, working in the office, … The team that put this together should be commended. I’m looking forward to trying other apps they produce..Version: 3.5
✓ Good app but needs more work!I got this app to go with my Bluetooth iHome clock radio. It connects ok to the Bluetooth but disconnects sometime during the night and I get a message on my iPhone 6 that "this app may not be supported" at 2am. The message is white background and literally lights up my bedroom and wakes me up! Not the wake up I want! I'm guessing there is a bug in the program that loses the BT connection. I also would like the option to program my stations, since there are limited stations offered. Otherwise, it's good....Version: 4.5
✓ PerfectExcellent app. Loads of radio channels. Great help off developers if needed. Multiple alarms. Recommended +++ :-).Version: 4.5
✓ Love this app!Works flawlessly. Have tried lots of others alarm radio apps and this is the best by far. Interface and ease of use are excellent. Worth every penny to be able to select my favorite stations to wake up to. Developer is also very responsive if you have any issues as I did with the free version..Version: 5.9
✓ Great customer supportI absolutely love this app and use it every day. I like how it has the ability to dim, choose a radio station or other music to use with an alarm, and the ability to listen at any time. If customer support is needed they respond very promptly and provide accurate directions and solutions. Love this app..Version: 6.0
✓ Future five star appRadio, clock and weather elements and alarm all fine on iPad 4. Needs portrait option, search box, Retina optimisation and alternate skins. Developer very helpful. Nathan.Version: 2.93
✓ A Complete WinnerThis app is so thoroughly thought out, so well designed, and so beautifully simple--yet packed with features its a wonder that it costs so little. For the price, this is easily one of the best deals in the App Store. The user interface is brilliant and intuitive, easy to use and visually appealing. One of the biggest pluses with this app is the radio feature, allowing up to 8 of your favorite radio streams to be activated by a single touch. If the stream drops (as they often do) the app automatically reestablishes connection--a brilliant feature. Should your internet connection go down, the app will revert to preset alarm music so you will never be left asleep by a silent alarm--another brilliant feature. Last, but certainly not least, the interface is very dark and can be dimmed beyond that of the dimmest screen brightness setting on my iPad, making it the perfect companion in a very dark room. This is easily in my top three favorite apps and will continue to be a mainstay in my bedroom for the foreseeable future..Version: 4.3
✓ IndividualReally easy app to use. Tutorial on their webpage showed me all I needed to know. I bought a charging dock/speaker for my iPad and now that and this app are my new clock/alarm in the morning. No more static-filled radio to wake up to. Support has been great too--when I wrote in with the question/comment they answered within a few hours..Version: 2.7
✓ The best radio app!This is an excellent radio better than any other I have tried the fact that it is a ClockRadio as a bonus, recommended!.Version: 4.3
✓ Great serviceAt first I was frustrated that I couldn't get the alarm to work, however it turned out to my fault. I emailed tech support and within a hour I had the fix and answer. It turns out I didn't have notifications turned on. It has worked perfectly since then! Great service!!!.Version: 5.6
✓ Nice clean design & impressive list of radio stationsI own both this app and the original app "Beautiful Clock Radio". I really like the clean layout and especially the programable radio buttons. The interface is very well designed and easy to use. I'm always discovering new radio stations from all over the world using this app. The station list is very impressive. Highly recommended!.Version: 4.1
✓ Nice app, top supportThis is a good app which is nice and easy to use. Most of all, the support (Mark, an actual person) is really helpful. Had a very good email based conversation with him. Highly recommendable experience. Paul.Version: 4.6
✓ Yes.Thought that the 5 star ratings were too good to be true...but happy to admit that after weeks of searching for a wifi clock radio, this 4$ app was well worth every penny and then some! Well done! First review that I have ever written..have been using apple products for years.. 👌.Version: 3.1
✓ Nice Idea but alarm doesn't work - fixed!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 doesn't. Certainly not reliable if you have to get up at a particular time. Customer service responded advising that Notification must be turned on for the app to function properly. My only advice might be to note this in the user instructions or possibly in the instructions in the screenshots above..Version: 5.6
✓ Good App — Does what it was designed to doGreat 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..Version: 4.4
✓ 5 stars for this great appBuy it, you won't be disappointed. Easy to set up and great looking ui..Version: 3.1
✓ This is the BESTThis has so much going for it. First off, it's a great alarm clock which also displays the current weather. What sets it apart from other alarm clocks are the thousands of radio stations from around the world that you can wake or just listen to. If you, your parents or grandparents are from another part of the world, chances are you will find a radio station from there to remind you of what you left behind. I'm happy enough listening to my local sports station... wherever I am. If your favorite station live streams, chances are you'll find it with this app or you can enter the url yourself. Besides all that, it is a nice app just to look at if you keep it opened up on your night stand. I usually don't write reviews, especially of this length, but I feel this one deserve all the praise I can give it..Version: 3.5
✓ Best alarm appThis is one of the best apps I have. Works great and smile to use. Not only that but has the best support on any app I've owned up to date. The guys are happy to help in anyway and if there a problem even sort it out for you. AAAAAAA+ for this app. Great work guys.Version: 3.7
✓ Best radio alarm and worth $3.99I downloaded 4 different radio apps, this being the most expensive, hoping to find one that could simply wake me up in the mornings with a radio station of my choosing. Not that complicated, right? Wrong! One app has a radio function but won't let you use it as an alarm, another didn't let me search the stations I wanted, another didn't sound the alarm if the app wasn't running in the foreground.... This one does it all. I tested it out by finding my favorite station (WNYC) by searching the US radio stations by state and saving the station, then set an alarm to wake me up with that station. It worked! I also tried closing the app and turning off notifications and it still worked! If you don't have the app running in the foreground, you just need to reopen it to turn off the alarm. The design is really sleek and clean too. Since you're paying for it you don't have to worry about ugly ads either. I too was skeptical of the 5 star reviews but I'm giving another one because this is hands down worth every penny and does exactly what you'd want a radio alarm to do!.Version: 3.1
✓ Great App!If you are looking for a clock radio app for your IPad, this is the one to purchase! Great radio selection, portability, flawless alarm, and great support! Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed..Version: 2.92
✓ Excellent app!Love all the features of this alarm clock radio! Versatile and reliable. Had one or two small glitches and the developer got right back to me. A fix came a day or so later. Highly recommend this as your new clock radio and alarm for both the iPhone and iPad!.Version: 2.9
✓ I love this program!Beautiful and well thought-out program. So easy to use and with many alarms and many sources of sounds from my iTunes library to included sounds. I highly recommend this program. Oh, the support is responsive too..Version: 1.8
✓ Great AppWonderful layout, ease to use. Has all my local stations and the first app I have found that actually works as a Clock radio. I set it to wake to my local radio stations, on the Weekdays it plays KFWB and on the weekends it plays KPCC, could not be better! Thanks for fixing the Snooze bug!.Version: 2.5
✓ Good supportI first bought this app in 2014 and use it every night. Last night after updating iOS on my phone it stopped working. I contacted the developer today he responded within several minutes and solved my problem. I was sure worried that I wouldn’t have my clock for a while but it is back working again..Version: 8.8.4
✓ Outstanding SupportI purchased this app at the beginning of the week because of all the features.. radio, alarms etc. I needed a good app to run attached to my Bose bedside dock. All worked great except for the PM alarm I was trying to set. Alarm kept reverting to AM. I contacted developer and within 4 days an update was passed fixing the issue. That is SUPPORT ! And is appreciated. All else works fabulously as advertised. Wayne.Version: 2.7
✓ The BestI have used it for two years on my iPad as a clock radio and in my iPhone 6 without any serious problems. I would buy again..Version: 7.4
✓ Idiot-proofThis nutty alarm will work if the ringer is turned off, the volume is turned down, the screen is locked and the app isn’t open. The only problem you might have is if you set it to an internet radio station you might happen to get dead air, that happened to me once. You can set multiple alarms so it’s smart to set a non-radio alarm 15 minutes later if you want to wake up to a radio station. It also has the craziest selection of alarms I’ve ever seen, “Funkmeyer” being a personal favorite. It can also play songs from your iTunes library. It's unfortunately pretty ugly, which is why I only gave it four stars. It LOOKS like a piece of junk but it's the best alarm clock app I’ve found so far..Version: 4.0
✓ GavinqDownloaded a few radio alarm apps and this is by far the best. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it can only have one alarm setup. Otherwise great app!.Version: 4.4
✓ The BestSimple well thought out interface,the app has all the stations i was looking for, alarm triggers radio! I actually use this instead of Tune In now, i like the buttons right on the screen..Version: 3.8
✓ Best Radio App - No RegretsGreat radio and features. Instant on. Temp. Weather. Easy to save you stations... up to nine presets from all over planet earth. Truly prompt & outstanding customer service. Get this app. You won't regret it..Version: 8.4.9
✓ Best alarm clock app!It is so easy to use. Love the use of buttons to program my favorite stations to, so much easier to use for saving favorite station than other apps. Very good support as well!.Version: 4.7
✓ Great appI've been using this app for a few months and am really impressed. Love the dimming feature, the choice of radio stations, and having the current temperature displaying when I wake up. It stopped working when I upgraded the iOS on my phone but customer service responded to my email right away and got me up and running (delete app, restart phone, reinstall app). I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for s clock radio..Version: 4.6
✓ PLEASE GIVE US 16 PRESETS (instead of 8)This app is more than an excellent clock radio. It is a well designed app with features that have nicely anticipated what users want; such as radio station presets. BUY IT. And thanks to the developers..Version: 1.8
✓ A Keeper!The best clock radio alarm I've tested so far, and there were many...other than it actually working, one of the features I really like is setting the time is much easier and faster than spinning a wheel, just tap and you're done. Will be even better after the "fade in" volume option is added in a future update. Response to app support and feedback is wicked fast, Thanks Mark!.Version: 2.4
✓ A truly useful alarm that connects to streaming radio stationsI've 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 wasn't 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..Version: 3.1
