Nice Idea but alarm doesn't work - fixed!
08/13/2017

MooneyMan252
This app is good for listening to radio stations but the alarm feature is intermittent at best. Sometimes it goes off but more often than not, it doesn't. Certainly not reliable if you have to get up at a particular time. Customer service responded advising that Notification must be turned on for the app to function properly. My only advice might be to note this in the user instructions or possibly in the instructions in the screenshots above.

MooneyMan252, it sounds like you have Notifications turned OFF for the app, turning them ON will give the app the functionality it needs to sound the alarm. Contacting support with any questions is the best way to get help.

Wish iPhone version could landscape

I’ve had this app on my iPad for years and love it going out of the country and I’m not bringing my iPad so I downloaded it to my phone. I only wish that the phone version would landscape mode also.

I love my BCR. I have taken it when I travel domestically and internationally using it to stay in touch with home. I have had a few issues with it, but support has always been very responsive with any problems. The problems have mostly been with the radio stations themselves and not the program. I love the fact I can get most any radio stations I want, including international ones.

Not compatible with iOS alarm?

I like this app, and it used to work well, but a few months ago it started doing this thing where the app will not turn on the radio at the appointed alarm time if I also set an alarm for the same time in the built in iOS alarm app. Most of the time it doesn't work, but every now and then it does. Maybe it has something to do with slightly different alarm times. Wish you would fix this.[EDIT]: In reply to the developer's reply, Notifications are on. Seems to be a conflict with the iOS built in alarm.

Hi Pogymnast, It sounds like Notifications are OFF, the app needs notifications to sound the alarm. Contacting support would help you with this.
