Color mode does not work! Initially, it worked correctly, but then it stopped working. UGH!!!!

It loudly says something whenever it connects to the internet, which is aWeSoMe whenever the power temporarily cuts out in the middle of the night. As far as I can tell, there is no way to disable this in the app. Thanks for the 1:00am wakeup.

Constantly have to reboot to get it working again and so the app can find it. Bought it 2 years ago and its had its problems but the last month or so, it has been a nightmare. I have updated it everytime when one is available. There is not one available at this time. Also a new feature after last update is after a few days the date disappears and scrolls unknown and the alarm will not work and the app cannot find the unit.

I've owned this clock for a week now. The first night I had it, this app was able to help me connect the clock to my WiFi but only after 5 attempts that took 30 minutes in total as the app had trouble syncing the connection between the clock and my phone to the WiFi. Thankfully, I can at least make voice commands to set my alarm after syncing Amazon Alexa to it. However, despite syncing the app with the clock all the way until the screen says it's synced and the only option it gives me is to go back, after clicking the back button, the app will scan for my clock but ends in a result saying, "Cannot find existing device" or something close to that. If I wanted to try to sync it with the app like I did the first 5 times, I would have to restart the process all over again, which I would do, if not for the app having a hard time connecting the clock to my WiFi through my phone in the first place and that it takes a long time to try to work in general. This is terrible because I cannot customize my alarm sounds or utilize any of the app's features as I can never even get there since it has to connect to the clock first. I submitted a request the same night and just the same as other comments have stated, I have not receieved a response back and likely will not as it has already taken this long. This is unfortunate because I like the product itself a lot, but the software renders it nearly useless. I will likely return it if I don't receive a response or if they don't have the app fixed by the end of the return policy. This clock was far too expensive for me to not utilize the full service I paid for. I do not agree with their unfair trading practices because they are continuing to distribute defective products (because what's the point if the app doesn't work) and without providing customer support or a way to issue a refund for a defective product since it does not perform as advertised, that's a huge violation according to the FTC. Not only are they providing sub-par products, they are also breaking the law. My recommendation: save yourself the time, headache and money and do not make the same mistake I made, and buy this, despite already reading the reviews warning you not to.

Gets one star for concept and product. As for the implementation of this app, it is total failure. Not sure how it worked before I purchased the iHome clock, but this app doesn't work now. I purchased the clock in December of 2018, installed this app.... but the only thing this app did very well was "time-out" while trying to connect the clock to wifi... Decided to return the ihome clock to best buy, don't think there will be a fix for the app soon, Hopefully I'm wrong and they will fix it soon

I was able to connect my speaker to my WiFi network and play music on my iAVS16. However, I am unable to properly set my time. I live in Asia, but the application's timezone selection is confined to those in the United States so I am forced to use a timezone exactly 12 hours apart leaving the AM and PM markers reversed. I was able to adjust Alexa's time, timezone, and schedule alarms (using a web browser version). Is it possible to include all global timezones in your application's next release?
