iHome+Sleep, the alarm clock app from the experts on alarm clocks

Shocking that a company would be so slow to correct such non functional software given this app is designed to complement a separate hardware clock This app isnt just bad it doesnt do what it is stated to do The 2010 and 2011 awards do not even have a sliver of relationship to the current offering Wake up iHome and fix this or perhaps they are using their own software and are still asleep     Rude Awakening

Despite sound options only one is activated with the alarm and its annoying as fk Despite volume options it only goes off very loudly This app is a piece of st Dont waste your time with it     Doesnt do what it claims

Great before the update Now not working properly     Terrible app

Im on my second iHome alarm clock as I updated from an iPhone 4s to a 6 Plus Yah Thanks apple for the forced upgrade due to the lightning connector The App works fine as an alarm clock if you take the time to set it up right but you better be sure to reset your phone once every couple of weeks at the least or you may end up with a missed alarm due to an issue with iOS At least thats what seems to happen Ive paid for all the updates along the way so any inclusion of adds docked or not is really lame What did I pay for Early on I talked to their tech support about the brightness of the app when docked at night They didnt think there was an issue because I must have been doing something wrong Long story short It got better until the last upgrade Now I have a night light again even with the blackest background I can find If I move the slider it resets to what it thinks should be the dimmest I keep hoping they will fix the issues and take care of their paying customers As it is Im seriously thinking of trying something new        Roller coaster of updates

There are to many glitches to be useful I downloaded it to go with my ihome clock radio alarm It responds sluggishly and randomly starts playing my iPod when I turn the alarm on     Too many glitches

Ive had this app for years and I rarely ever had a problem with it but now it will go off but there wont be any sound so it wont wake me up This has happened twice in the last two months I dont want to get rid of it but I have to since I need to wake up on time     Used to be great

I bought this app a couple of years ago and at the time I loved it I gave it a 55 Now I barely use it Heres the problem I used this app exclusively for tracking my sleep not as an alarm monitor sleep efficiency etc I want to press sleep wake and log the amount of sleep I get The first version was similar to this and worked really well for me Though the app included an alarm feature from the beginning it was optional to use and I never did but with this version I am unable to opt out of the alarm I am forced set an alarm just to use the tracker which is inconvenient The way I went around this was to set the alarm for Sunday and use the app for a week but it began to get glitchy and ruin the data on Sunday showing that I woke up on Sunday at 500 pm when I set the alarm but I never went to sleep I finally stopped using it because it just wasnt worth the struggle     Used to be Good

Was so happy with app before it automatically upgraded Yicchh I use it woalarm with or wo i home appliance to track my sleep hours Was great for intnl travel erratic sleep Used enter bedtime bliss out til wake upand KNOW WHEN IWENT TO BED HOW MANY HRS SLEPT ETC Cant do that anymore cept manually May as well get out pen and NB Was nice simple easy to use For me now its useless Ps also gave great weather info Am on assgmt in Middle Eastnow gives no weather info Very sucky     Awfuldeleting so disappointed

This is the worst update everI much rather have the original version Every time they make an update it get worst     Horrible horrible horrible

In this new iOS 78 version music does not play on a shuffle when alarms are set I would like to fall asleep to DIFFERENT songs and not the same repeating songs every night        Annoying problem

It does what I need and works pretty well What bugs me though is that I paid for no ads and Im still getting them If you wont get rid of the ads can I have my 99 back              Does what I want but

Ive all these reviews and I dont experience any of these problems I use an iPhone 5 and it has iOS 812 so I dont know if it means anything but overall great app                 I dont have any problems

I set my music but it only beeps Fix it now     Worst ever

Used it every night for the last year or so now it crashes in at random intervals Woken up several times the last week and app is closed What good is an alarm app that crashes and fails to sound an alarm This needs to be fixed but I dont think iHome reads these reviews and there is no other way to contact company about app     Dont bother Find any other alarm app

Not reliable Sometimes this app turns off in the middle of the night Many times I have set alarm and woke up to see that it is off and i have to reset alarm        Turns off randomly

The sleep graphics for The Last 12 Months is messed up since its last update in Oct2014 All I get are red lines all over the screen The Daily Weekly and Monthly screens are working fine I tried getting support in your webpage but its too complicated the way it asks questions which if you do not answer correctly it will not go to the next step Please make it simpler to report issues and get support and fix the graphics issue Thanks     Somethings Wrong with the Sleep Graphics of the App

iHome manages to pack dozens of terrible features into their app making it so complex that you cant be sure youve set your alarms correctly When my alarms failed to go off this morning I spent 30 minutes messing with the app settings to figure out what had gone wrong Im still not sure what I changed but now the alarm seems to be working If you like spending 30 minutes setting your alarm clock each night and still worrying if it will go off in the morning this app is for you     Needlessly complex app

Title says it all The interface is weird and half of the options or sliders or depending on your ihome buttons dont actually work My ihome doesnt even turn on until my wakeup playlist is 10 seconds in and when it does its super loud not what you want to wake up to        Too buggydifficult to use

After purchasing the base clock they feel the need to extract another 1 for an ad free version What a bunch of BS Ill never buy another iHome product again     Money grab

PLEASE BRING BACK THE GRADUAL WAKEUP OPTION Ive used the app every night for 2 years Before the update there was an option where the alarm music would gradually get louder if you dont push the wake up button Thats gone now Every morning I wake up to blaring music Its so shocking I almost start hyperventilating Ive tried turning the volume down but it doesnt do anything Before the update the music would start off really quite and get louder and that was a really nice way to wake up Comparing then and now is like comparing grandma waking you up to having a bucket of water dumped on your face I dont know if Im asking for a lot here Other than that the app is pretty good        Did I join the military

I bought an iHome clock radio iA90 to work with my iPhone 4 I also bought a 30pin extension cable so I could use my thirdgen iPad When I upgraded my phone to a 5S everything worked fine However with every iOS update things got worse and worse The iPhone wont talk to the clock radio at all though it will charge Otherwise its useless The iPad will charge albeit extremely slowly and will send audio to it but it wont control the volume Neither device can be used to interface with the clock radio at all In addition the snooze button has stopped working and the other day I couldnt turn the alarm off I ended up smashing it with my fist just to get it to stop The clock radio has gone to electronic recycling hell not heaven as it is useless and stupid     Used to be awesome now useless

I paid for the ad free yet I still get ads Not sure why This morning my alarm was showing on my iPhone 6 but not playing through the speakers so I overslept I love that you have one playlist to fall asleep to and another to wake up to        Paid for ad free still get ads

After reading other reviews I was skeptical as I gave the app a try The TuneIn addon only works on occasion my guess is that a station has to be live for it to work The sleep volume is significantly louder than the wake volume despite my settings being just the opposite I havent deleted the app but I wont be able to use it until it is updated           Volume is erratic

The gentle wake is advertised on the app and is described in the instructions for the app It can not be used in this latest update     Where is gentle wake feature

This app used to be great Now I hate it I set my alarm and sometimes gasp I wake up earlier I deactivate the alarm and yet at the time its supposed to go off it goes off as if I never deactivated Its super annoying and Im officially done with this crappy app     Doesnt allow you to wake up early

I have had to resort to using only the alarm clock because the app has been very unreliable Please iHome get this app fixed and working get idea and just need to get it working     Neatcool idea for the app execution is less then stellar unfortunately

Use it every morning best alarm clock app                 Great app

I used to love this app but now whenever i plug it in to my ihome it doesnt go off     Terrible

Yay Now I can wake up to annoying beeping sounds and have an app that does nothing And has annoying ads        AWESOME Not

A redesign is going to bring about bugs and lots of them Just take a look at iOS 7 The past few updates have fixed quite a number of issues with the app left some annoyances in and unfortunately introduced new ones If you accidentally hit snooze that still cant be removed from your sleep logs Screen brightness during sleep mode was broken pretty badly even if you drag the slider all the way to the left its still a notch or two too bright Removing ads when youre plugged into an iHome dock seems to work decently though For a free app it still works pretty decently give it a try over the weekend or something and see if it works well for you In the future Id love to see this tie in with iOS 8s HealthKit              Getting better

Its got a nice interface but thats about it Even after purchasing the no ads option ads still appear when plugging in a second device into the alarm clock which is really annoying If I had to do it all over again I wouldnt have purchased the alarm clock or the app Cmon guys Do the QA before you release this kinda garbage     Buggy

Swag                 Great

Slightly liked it at first it was a little annoying if you woke up before the alarm since you had to I and turn the actual alarm off in order for it to not send you notifications Still it was ok until the last update Now it freezes when I slide the bedtime button Byebye app Now on to find a new one XD     BAD

I use this app everyday My only complaint is when I shut off alarm a glaring white screen comes up to blind me Can you mute that wake up screen so it is not so bright first thing in the morning           White screen

Update 303 Yep another update nothing was addressed The app is still terrible Bedtime volume still comes over just as loud as Wakeup volume regardless of the sliders when plugged into iHome making the feature next to useless with regard to going to bed with music Putting together and editing a playlist for wakeup is clumsy at best and sleep stats still have multiple inconsistent and incorrect entries for a single cycle They also dont communicate with Health I keep hoping for a reasonable version with every update but continue to be disappointed     Continues to fall short

The company seems deaf to complaints about bugs The last update over a year ago created more than it solved Known bug issues 1 Sliding the wake button before the alarm goes off fails to cancel the alarm 2 plugging a device into the USB port activates ads on the iPad which dont dim in the dock even with the paid version and 3 sleep tracker frequently fails to record either wake or sleep time Hardware issues The display cant be dimmed below a certain level which is still too bright It has to be off which defeats the purpose     Bug issues dont waste your money on the hardware or app

This is my second iHome Alarm clock About 5 years ago I got my first iHome with my I think 3Gen iPOD It worked great as far as softly and gradually waking me up to music I selected When I got an iPhone 5 I also upstaged my iHome so I could have a compatible docking station lightening connector not the 30pin Again it worked great I liked the app that you can use without having to have the phone docked blue iHome icon not the yellow This worked great until recently I think its some sort of iOS or app version compatibility issue Now this app is Very buggy missed alarms time changes from am to pm additional alarms seem to create themselves out of nowhere and when the thing does work there is NO VOLUME CONTROL MUSIC BLARES AT YOU SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY VERY ANNOYING AND A USELESS ALARM FUNCTION TO ME The whole reason why I loved iHome in the first place is that I HATE BLARING AND ANNOYING ALARMS Now my nice gentle waking alarm has become all that I hate in bad alarm clocks Luckily my usual MO has been to wake gently with music fading up and additionally setting a second buzzer alarm clock with a separate device so Ive never slept in and missed work fortunately I see from these reviews that this unreliable app is dangerous and could very well cause you to sleep in be late for work and subsequently lose you job Thats a risk most people will refuse to take I have found a work around Download the free Alarm Clock App Made by The Alarm Clock Company or upgrade to the HD version for 99 cents ad free I just tested it and when it goes off it plays through my iHome speakers when it is set to Dock mode This app has a lot more functionality than iHomes does and the functionality actually WORKS What a concept Using the volume down button on the iHome dockdevice turn the volume down to about 10 or so compared with the seemingly fixed unchangeable blaring 35 iHome volume on their app Test the alarm a few times while you are awake to make sure all your settings are right Until you get used to how it works use a cheap travel alarm or something else as a back up Its probably not a bad idea to set a back up alarm regardless To me getting up and keeping my job is THAT important One alarm should be reliable enough to work without having to set a second though There are just things that could happen even with a good alarm like a power outage that makes redundancy a good idea I mean if you tell you boss my alarm didnt go off He is likely gonna look at you like yeah right It will come of sounding like just a flimsy excuse There is no excuse for iHome not updating this app Without an app to control the iHome device its just an expensive piece of junk I think iHome will lose a lot of repeat customers including me unless they give existing customers better support and at least regularly update their app In the mean time I hope that the workaround I presented above may help others that were having the same problems I was GOOD LUCK     UNRELIABLE BLASTS MUSIC AT YOU NO VOLUME CONTROL HAZARDOUS TO YOUR JOB USELESS

This app has given me several close calls of being late for work while using it with my brand new iHome alarm clock for my iPhone 5s Many mornings today being one of them I look over to see wake up or wake messages and there was NEVER ANY SOUND THAT WENT OFF TO WAKE ME UP This app is horrible and needs to be either fixed or deleted from the App Store all together Im thinking the latter Since the app is clearly not being maintained And the all of the other reviews I see up here for it Very disappointed If you wanna ruin your day with a late start and possibly losing your job Then this is the app for YOU Smdh     Very unreliable

This is my first iHome device first iHome app and the first time I have hates an app enough to write a review The alarm wont go off unless your iPhone is on It is so freaking bright I cant sleep I keep turning the brightness down If I was sleeping in direct sunlight it might be considered dim but in a dark room it is WAY too bright If I turn off the screen the alarm doesnt go off The app is worthless to me     First exposure to iHome

I cant hear the alarm Will never use it again     Horrible Update

I never know what kind of behavior to expect from this app Sometimes in changes the dim Sometimes it starts playing music The volume of the alarm is loud one morning and normal the next I setup a backup alarm because I never feel confident it will go off        Erratic

If your device is connected to the iHome and an alarm goes off you should be able to press the wake button on the iHome to silence the alarm You should also be able to control the iHome with the app     Should actually interact with the iHome

I like the alarm system but I cannot find or it was removed the gradual increase in volume for the alarm              What Happen to Gradual Volume Increase for Alarm

I bought 2 iHome alarm clocks for my girlfriend and myself for Christmas Of course we downloaded all of the iHome apps to go with it Ive set the alarm to go off to wake me up naturally like a normal human would and instead of the alarm going off it just vibrates once every 1520 seconds Worst alarm clock Ive ever spent 200 on Im going back to the Apple alarm that I know I can rely on because this particular app is a piece of trash     Its supposed to wake you up right

HORRIBLE The new app completely breaks a perfectly functional app Horrible horrible waste of a development effort and completely bricks my iHome device This is the worst update ever the UI is horrible inconsistent and even worse doesnt work Who QAs this junk Please fix this ASAP And how is it that this app doesnt sync with the iOS Health app for sleep stats Confusing and clumsy interaction with the built in iHome alarm unlike the previous version and its integration with iHome Set Doesnt work well at all with iHome Even leaves the graphic popup of the volume model and active on the display all night Why I used the previous app every day and now Im out of commission Horrible        No Health App sync and Worst update to an app EVER

I didnt like that it made my whole screen dark and it didnt really work     Review

Will not dim anymore Extremely annoyed Every update makes it worse        Doesnt dim

The last four days I have set this alarm it hasnt gone off No it has gone off only silently Thats so useful Not I have had this app for far longer than I should have I think its time to delete it Every update has made it work more poorly than the last and thats frustrating because at one point it worked perfectly     Doesnt work

Just force closed twice in a row I was late for church yesterday and now Im late for school     BOOOOOO

This app used to work great and do exactly what it should Then they released a big update that added ads I paid 99 IAP to remove the ads swore to never buy anything ihome again and set my alarms Best new feature None of the alarms go off anymore I often wake up to see wake up on the screen but no alarm sound For a 100 alarm clock the Alarm Clock part should work STAY AWAY     Terrible
