Ideal for your charging stand, turning it into a modern digital clock radio.
Bedside Radio is designed to dim and stay visible while you sleep. If it isn’t visible at alarm time, you’ll hear the fallback: a 30-second wake-up sound from a notification. Apple requires apps to be visible to start playing the radio, so for the full experience, please leave the clock visible while you sleep.
The app supports multiple languages and variants: English (Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and United States), French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), and Spanish (Latin America and Spain).
Perfect for bedside tables, charging stands, and those who appreciate a modern take on the classic clock radio.
I wish it had been made clear in advance that the app cannot wake the phone. This means that you have to be sure the phone stays on when you set it down to go to sleep, otherwise you won’t get the radio wake up. This may be a limitation imposed by Apple’s software, but it effectively means that the app is not really useful, at least not to me.

Thank you for your feedback. Bedside Radio is designed to display the dimmed time and keep the phone awake while you sleep—just like a real clock radio. This ensures the radio can play at alarm time.iOS does not allow third-party apps to start playing streaming audio while the phone is locked. This is a system-level limitation imposed by Apple, and it affects all apps of this type.I understand this may not suit everyone. I have made this clearer in the app description and onboarding. I really appreciate you giving the app a try. If you haven’t already, please consider leaving the clock displayed while you sleep so the radio alarm works as intended.
I’ve WANTED THIS FOR YEARS.

Having looked for years and downloaded several, this is the first capable of replacing a radio alarm clock with the cheap speaker and ridiculously glitchy multiple button punches to reset the alarm ten minutes earlier to beat the morning heat as sunrises sooner, or for a flight, or reset the clock for daylight savings or power outages. This app actually works and is worth paying the price. Synchs perfectly with a small SONY speaker, too.

I’m so glad the app does what you need, and it means a lot that you took the time to write a review. Thank you. If you have any suggestions for improvement, I’d love to hear them at feedback@offdutyapps.com.au.
Brilliant!

I have always used a clock radio, but these are becoming harder to find. I wondered if there was an app that would replace these devices. This is it. One can choose to awaken from any one of thousands of radio stations from around the world or from Apple Music playlists that have been downloaded. The interface is elegant and setup is easy. Instructions are clear and support is excellent. It is a bargain at this price.

Needs instructions

This app promises to do a lot. It might be very useful however I have been unable to find any instructions on how to set it up. There seems to be a lot of moving parts to it that interfere with each other. If you don’t know what you’re doing.

Thanks for your feedback. I have added a User Guide to our website: https://bedsideradio.app. Select "User Guide" from the home page. Your input helps me continue improving the experience for everyone.Bedside Radio shows a Welcome screen and tip on first launch to guide you through adding your first station. After that, tap the alarm icon to add an alarm and you have a working clock radio.I’d value your thoughts on ways to make setup easier. If something didn’t work as expected, I’d like to sort it out. You can reach me at feedback@offdutyapps.com.au or via the Feedback section in the app.
Improved station list refresh.
