4.0 out of 5
Alarm is a joke

Alarm doesn’t work unless the phones plugged in! Not always an option, especially off grid!

Clock works fine, temp doesn’t update

Really would love to give 5 stars if temp updated

Ok clock, bad alarm

Clock is ok and I like that it has weather forecast. I wanted an app with an alarm clock as well which is why I got this, but the alarm was so difficult to set that I deleted after a few days.

Settings don’t hold, spacing of settings

bnClock works well but has two problems that I frequently encounter:
1. The brightness settings don’t hold. I usually keep the display dim, but it frequently changes back to the brightest setting, which is disturbing when it suddenly lights up a very dark room.
2. The location of the menu and the spacing of the menu items are very close together, especially if you have large fingers. Plus the “Done” button at the bottom of the settings is too close to the bezel of a phone.

Problem

UPDATE - works on newer iPad but not on older version. Developer reached out for details and they created a fix and update! Great response and effort by them. Kudos!!

No Weather

I love this clock, Have used it for over a year now but suddenly no weather, what gives, I would give it 5 stars if it had the weather back.

Multiple alarms

I can only set 1 alarm. I need to set a few more. How do I accomplish this?

Excellent

Perfect clock, but still needs to resolve weather issues. Need that weather!

Dimming problems

I like bnClock overall, but it frequently won’t stay dim and will brighten to nearly full intensity, even with phone at min in settings and bnClock set to its minimum. After several tries it will eventually stay dim. Otherwise a good app

No weather

This alarm clock used to be great for two reasons, it has a great alarm but now it no longer has the weather. Bring back the weather

Weather feature deactivated

Update: The weather feature is fixed and works GREAT! This is an excellent clock app for the living room or night stand.

Amazing!

Very useful app. I’m using it on vacation since my rental doesn’t have a clock. Very large and I love that you can customize it. The weather is a great feature as well. And it’s free, so you can’t get better than that!

Great App

I was looking for something to use as an always on screen for an old iPad 2. This is perfect and looks great. No adds either so there’s nothing to complain about.

Weather

I got bnClock a few weeks ago and been loving it! I read the weather was canceled but their trying to fix it! I’ll wait because this is the best app out there! Thank you!

Great app but the current temperature is not updated timingly

I like it, but the newest version keep crashing on my ios9.3.5 old iPad. Could you please help out? Thanks a lot! I use the iPad as a hanging wall clock with weather. It has been a cool thing

Great for turning old iPads into desk clocks with weather

I've converted two so far. Thank you for a cool clock!

Would recommend this app

Overall I love bnClock! I would enjoy some more alarm sounds and maybe some more colors or the introduction of a color wheel so you can set it to whatever color you want. Overall I do recommend bnClock to others and love the easy controls!!

Fabulous!

Great way to use the old iPad 2 that can’t be updated beyond iPad OS 9. Makes for a nice, big numeral click that I can see at night without glasses. Well done interface. Does what I need without needing to log into an external site or someone keeping track of my device. Free to use, but I’d gladly pay to support the developer.

BEST ALARM APP

I have a really tough time finding an alarm clock that does everything that I want. bnClock fits the bill. It is so customizable, the numbers are so big with any colors you might want and with different styles. The newly added “snooze priority” is great so you don’t accidentally turn off the alarm. There are clear directions on how to operate the clock and the developer is very helpful.
I now use this as app as my everyday alarm clock.

My favorite clock/alarm

There are so many things I like about this clock.
1. Big easy to read numbers. My vision is 20:15, but when you first wake up, it takes a minute to focus. That’s not a problem with this clock.
2. Snoozing. On other clock apps and Alexa, the snooze button is a very small area. On this clock app, the whole face is the snooze button. Many clocks have a fixed snooze time. bnClock gives you a wide choice of snoozing times, and you can customize them for each alarm.
3. Compatibility. I use this on my iPhone 12 as my alarm clock. I also have it on a very old iPad with the inch wide connector. This is the only digital clock I could find that still runs on it. I use this as a wall clock in my ham radio shack/office. It’s a nice way to repurpose an otherwise useless piece of tech.
4. Weather. It nice to see a synopsis of the weather for the week. One thing that bugs me. If you have the weather showing, the current temperature does not seem to update. It may be something in my setup, but it happens on my all my devices. If you close it and restart it, it does update the current temperature.
