Nightstand Central for iPad Free app review: a portable alarm clock

Nightstand Central for iPad Free

Price: Free

Nightstand Central for iPad Free by Thomas Huntington transforms your iPad in an alarm clock with all kinds of useful features.

There's no need to have an alarm clock on your nightstand anymore because your iPad can act as one instead. As well as showing you the time it also shows you the current weather. Choose from a variety of high quality wallpapers (20 in total) that can be customized as well.

This app works great when traveling, so you don’t have to rely on a hotel room alarm clock or that wake-up call that just never seems to come. You can view the clock in portrait and landscape mode, there is the 12- or 24-hour time format, adjustable snooze time, and adjustable volume or silent. You can set up more than one alarm for different days and different times and you can repeat them whenever you specify.

There is no need to walk up to a jolting sound with this app because instead you can wake to a fade-in sound or music. The alarm will work if the screen is locked or sleeping. The alarm can be set to sound, vibrate, or sound with vibrate.

Nightstand Central for iPad Free was updated on Feb. 22, 2013 and currently has 819 customer ratings with an average rating of four and a half out of five stars.

I liked the convenience this app offered giving you a very user-friendly alarm clock to use at home and on the go. The customizable wallpapers and weather details were a great bonus.

For: iPad with iOS 4.3 or later
