With music alarms, a built-in sleep timer, weather info, customizable photo backgrounds, and an included shake-on / shake-off flashlight, Nightstand Central turns your device into the ultimate bedside "hub".

Wake up to your favorite tunes and drift into sleep a little easier with the included sleep timer. You can play everything from music playlists to relaxing sounds, with additional support for audio from other applications. If you need to get up in the middle of the night, just shake to toggle the included flashlight, and shake again to turn it off. When you wake up, you can see the current weather conditions before you get out of bed.

Nightstand Central is equally at home away from the bedside, as well. Stand your device on a desk or coffee table and use it as a beautiful photo frame with heads-up time and weather information.

Many features in Nightstand Central can be tweaked to fit your preferences, for example:
-Pick wallpapers from your Photo Album and Nightstand Central will automatically cycle the background image among these how ever often youd like. You can mix and match your own photos and any of the beautiful included wallpapers, as well.
-Set up different music alarm playlists for different days. Your alarm will even gently fade in by default - its up to you.
-Configure the clock / weather HUD to make it bigger, smaller, centered, or move it off to one side or the other

If youd like, give away your old, standalone alarm clock, and replace it with something that truly stands out - your iOS device running Nightstand Central.

Pros and cons of Nightstand Central Alarm Clock app for iPhone and iPad

Nightstand Central Alarm Clock app good for

Simple, user-friendly app having a large variety of settings and it works perfectly! A real must.
No in-app purchases except to hide ads, ads not intrusive at all, good interface and lets you use your own music as an alarm, and dim the screen even further than the default lower setting for night.
Very useful. During the night, to see the temperature, wheater, alarm, music to sleep. All in one. Amd show our pictures.
This app wakes me up in the morning with beautiful music that I have chosen. And has accurately for years. The snooze option gas been a comfort a time or two. The varied pictures and option of a slideshow add colour, light and beauty to the back ground of any rooms decor. One of my constant and long time favourites in the changing world of apps; quality stays constant.
This app is exactly what I have been looking for. Works perfectly. Love it.
Decent alarm clock App. Using it daily with no problems. It would be helpful to add a way to test the volume level when setting the alarm sound/song. Would be 5 stars if it would also work with online services such as Apple Music, Google Play and Tune In Radio. The latter so I can wake to local radio (with preset selected based on GPS location for frequent travellers).

Some bad moments

Occasionally when running over night it crashes iPads audio so I have to reboot to get back any sound. Not very helpful for an alarm clock.
I paid for this app a long time ago because there was a free version with ads and paid version without. Now I have to pay extortion money to remove ads again. Good quality control apple. Drains battery overnight connecting to ad servers nonstop.
I had to give it a 1 star but waking up late for work because the app seems to have a silent alarm on any given day make me want to inform people of the tech support I didnt receive other than avoidance. Thomas, the supposed tech support, basically did nothing other than ask obvious questions that a 10 year old would ask. Then when you ask how to fix the issue, he doesnt return emails unless you threaten to go here and write bad reviews. His responses are basically blaming everything but the app itself. Waking up late for work on several occasions has left me relying on other app that is more reliable than this one. If you have no agenda, this app will work well for you but if you have a time frame to be a work I suggest you find another app or a wined up clock that is more reliable. This app is a waste of time and doe t deserve a 1/16 of a star rating. Plus tech support is useless.
Been using Nightstand for about 3 years now but lately when alarm is set, it doesnt go off despite being open and running. Ive had to test it the night before to make sure it works but just this morning, it again didnt go off again and I was staring at the clock. Double checked it was set right and it was. Also recommended app to 2 friends and they told me same thing. Will be looking for a new app now. Its bad when I have to set alarm as back up because this one doesnt work consistently.
If you like to see prominent ads when you look at a clock, this is the app for you.
The fact that changing the brightness in the app effects your phones brightness is pretty much a deal breaker for me, and its not necessary -- other clock apps can keep them separate. Problem two is that you cant make secondary info bigger below the clock. The app has had these deficiencies for years so I dont see them getting fixed any time soon.
