## Best Clock Radio Reviews in United States

### ***** "Best clock radio app"
I’ve been using this app for years. If you love using it as a traditional clock radio to wake up to AM/FM stations, or to listen to AM/FM stations it remains the best. The button design to set stations, settings to set brightness and volume are great. Even provides the local weather all for a reasonable yearly fee. 

The only problem for which I used to contact Mark is when certain stations change their streaming links. If you are a local CBS news radio junkie this is a regular issue since Audacy purchased these stations. I’ve notified Shoutcast about this but it is not priority for them.  

For our yearly fee 😀 I would suggest Mark check the following stations quarterly or so and update the app with working links if needed for the following Audacy CBS news stations:

WBZ 1030 Boston

WCBS 880 New York

WINS 1010 New York

WBBM 780 Chicago

WKNX 1070 Los Angeles

Many of the above now simulcast with corresponding concurrent FM stations also.

and these additional city  news, weather, sports stations that frequently change their links:

KTAR talk/news 98.3 Phoenix AZ

Arizona Sports 98.7 Phoenix AZ

If done for the app then everyone has these working stations rather than just for individual users.

Thanks for such a great app!

### *---- "How to set the alarm clock to make it work"
I Followed all the instructions save and it never Alarms or I can’t hear an Alarm it’s Extremely Frustrating thanks in Advance For your Help
-- The Much Happy One, 2024-05-13

### ****- "FOX News goes offline.  Why?"
I listen to FOX NEWS every morning as my wake up channel. Ya, I know it is one sided news just like CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS and NPR. But what are we to do, I just want to wake to a human voice. Any way FOX has been working for months but now the connection just won’t connect. I have had this happen before and it did correct itself. This time however it’s been a few weeks. What’s the deal.

Fox is off line again.  10/22/2023.
-- sharpkg, 2023-10-22

### ***** "Works without fail"
My iHome
Clock radio died, all the new ones are Bluetooth only. As I’m a news junky, I wake up to the local NPR station
App works perfectly, even the free version
I did upgrade to add the weather not that I really needed it. But wanted to make sure the author is making some money so he keeps updating the app, which I now depend on.

One thing I wish I could figure out. My local NPR station provides a pledge free stream for members. However the url doesn’t work in the app. Not the apps fault, as the url launches a website.
Mark if you have any suggestion, I’d love to hear it

So pledges I hear.
-- Cranky Media, 2023-09-20

### *---- "Sad"
Doesn’t work I really liked the sounds it had to choose from too bad
-- Cusin jojo, 2023-01-17

### **--- "Not reliable"
Followed the instructions by turning notifications on and leaving the app open but the alarm only went off 1 of 3 times. When it didn’t ring there was just a notification from the app but alarm did not go off.
-- Clobean3, 2021-09-03

### *---- "Lots of problems"
Quit loading. Developer responsive. Reboot &amp; reload helped for awhile. But… screen interface elements move to wrong place or partially off screen when setting up; 1st button assigned radio worked initially, now nothing streams. Other stations ok. Tried more reboots. Now hangs on splash screen and quits in 10 sec.
-- GFR27, 2021-08-12

### ***** "Alarm sound doesn’t play over bluetooth"
Compliments on your work, simple enough yet very useful. I am trying to use it in conjunction with my blootooth speakers in order to setup an alarm that can play in my bedroom. Although I can hear the alarm sound on my speakers during a setup, when the alarm is actually triggered it plays only on device itself, athough the bluetooth connection is verified to still be active. Hoping you can fix this bug/ feature soon. Otherwise, a great product.
-- gugmutyrdft, 2021-07-23

### ****- "It is the best alarm clock"
Unfortunately it does freeze up from time to time. Would like to know how to fix it.
-- Bobbyg51, 2021-05-16

### ***-- "Great when it works, but…"
When everything works, it’s great, but lately about half the time it locks up, or just won’t start, on my SE. 

A lesser but still annoying issue is that my finger has a hard time snagging the sliders for adjusting brightness and volume.
