About Night Clock: Donate

If button lights don't turn off, try:
1) Turning your phone's automatic brightness on or off
2) Tap to dim screen, then turn screen off and then on (using the button on your phone)

To find the settings menu on S5, just hold in the multitasking key (left soft key at bottom of phone).

This version turns off button backlights for most, but not all, phones. In particular, some new KitKat (Android 4.4) phones do not allow apps to turn off button backlights. If it doesn't work (with the tips above), just uninstall for a refund. Some phones disable my ability to turn the lights off, and unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that.

If the background is a gradient instead of just black, you need to: turn off "Force GPU rendering" in your phone's "Developer"
settings.

If you have a problem, email me!

This is a simple, retro-style night clock. It will display the time in big, bold letters (three fonts and any color to choose from), along with having a built-in alarm (or you can use your stock android alarm, it it's supported). Since the screen will stay on while the application is open (unless you manually turn it off), it is highly recommended that you keep your phone plugged in to charge otherwise it will drain the battery.

Some features include:
-Silence notifications
-Tap to dim screen to lowest possible setting
-Launches when put into the multimedia dock (also has flipped mode for use without a dock)
-Font and color settings (when choosing text color, drag your finger away from the center to change transparency)
-Built in alarm (or use stock Android alarm, if your phone supports it)
-Show next alarm on clock screen

Some comments from users:

Kevin: "Simple, Effective, Does Exactly What I Want I looked at a number of other apps and this was the only one that did what I needed. It has multiple alarms; a great low light night time display; simple interface. It took me a minute to realize that I can add my own custom alarm sounds by putting an MP3 in the folder 'alarms' at the base of my sd card. I was also able to dim the back light on the buttons using tasker, but I plan on upgrading to the donate version if the alarm continues to work well."

Frank: "I'm blind as a bat without my glasses at night. The big numbers can easily be seen."

Aimee: "Works great on my Droid X. Exactly what I needed and my alarm still goes off as set. Great app with great dim feature that still makes it easy to see."

I am unable to find any settings area for this clock. I am unable to have the clock rotate to the landscape mode. All settings are set on my Galaxy Note 5 correctly. This is the second time I have paid for this product and disappointed again.

Got tired of turning my screen on to check the time at night and have light shining I'm my face. I like this because I can keep it on all night (lime most people I always have my phone charging while I sleep anyways) it's not bright and the numbers are easy to read. Also very simple. I'm putting it on my husband's phone next. .99 is very reasonable to get the lighted buttons off. I'll give it 5 stars of you can add a home screen clock widget. I'd even give another donation for it

Upgraded to the paid version just because I love this app so much. It is EXACTLY what I was looking for. With my upright wireless charger, the "always on" clock on the lock screen was too bright by my bed. This allows me to see the time without my glasses in a subtle red light that doesn't disturb sleep. I've been showing all my friends this app.

by Q####:

Was a 5 before an Android update. Was able to use any music or alarms for alarm sound, but now just annoying/piercing standard alarms available. Was so good before, donated to developer. Hoping they fix this, then will change this back to a 5 star.

I was going to buy a battery alarm clock that you can see in the night to take with me when I travel for work ect, but this saved me the hassle. Great little app, very simple but works well.

I have a Droid 2 running Nougat. The clock will not dim. I wrote to developer with no response. Way too bright. Please do something rather than ignore me!

by Q####:

I love the simplicity of this clock & use it daily. Pay the man the small fee and if you liked it already you'll love it more as your 'soft keys' slip away for that pure retro display. And it's not just retro, it's functional and there is not actually a better way to show a clock, at night...

I've been using this app for a long time but now the settings button has disappeared.

X70%
by X####:

This is a beautiful easy-to-read clock that doesn't disturb my sleep. The only thing that would make it better would be if the app were to release focus when an incoming call came in or when the Android alarm went off. (It can be tricky to answer a call or turn off the alarm while Night Clock Donate has focus.)

Started giving problems it keeps giving a banner saying stopped working. Otherwise it's been a great program.

X70%
by X####:

Best clock app I've used. It had some bugs/issues at first but as far as I can tell they've been taken care of. Absolutely worth a small donation.

X70%
by X####:

Most new galaxy phones do not have a menu button. This app does not have a build in menu button for my Samsung galaxy 6s with android 6.1.0.1. Therefore i cannot use this app any longer, until this problem is fixed.

The LEDs are really bright, which is one of the reasons I got the paid version; so that lights would be disabled... Please fix

Worked like it was meant to on my S5. On my S7-Edge, it'd just a clock. None of the features work. I hope a fix will soon be available.

Update ruin this app. Using marshmallow op, color selection doesn't work, color is either black or white and won't dim. Also I'm on a Nexus 6 phone.

C70%
by C####:

Caution- I "donated " my 99 cents so it would turn off the button lights. Doesn't work... For that reason I would not "donate" for this app.

Great app... use it a lot at night when connect to the dock... don't really need the paid version but I'm supporting the developers..

E70%

The name appears on my home screen as Night Clock:donate. Why not just night clock. Minor but annoying

Q70%
by Q####:

No clock in my rooms and I travel around. This means I have one less thing to carry/remember. I just prop it up on shelf

Q70%
by Q####:

Does what it says it does very well. Large font is easy to read without glasses. Only suggestion: At least on Galaxy S6, color picker is way too small and is essentially unusable.

Q70%
by Q####:

Not the best customization when it comes to snooze, but display has many options. Makes a terrific clock on the nightstand.

Q70%
by Q####:

This app is really excellent. It is simple to operate and has an uncluttered display. I have found it to be very reliable.

U70%
by U####:

I have used Night Clock for some time but recently updated my phone and it no longer works as it did. On my new Note 4 there is no longer a menu button and I have no access to the menu to adjust settings, including alarms. I see this problem mentioned by others in these reviews and note that the last app update was February 2014. I guess it is time to move on. Too bad as I really enjoyed the simplicity of Night Clock as it didn't try to bake in extra features and worked always flawlessly.

Z70%

(Samsung Galaxy S5) Display becomes unstable (flashing) in night mode. Email sent to developer (as he suggests) for help. No reply. Now uninstalled.

Love this clock for night stand and I always plug it in. In the c last few days if stopped dimming on my tablet galaxy 2.

I have been using this app for several years and love it. Easy straight forward interface. Delivers exactly it says it does! 3 phones later its still one of the first apps I install.

J70%
by J####:

Love the app. Have note 5 and can't seem to find menu button to customize clock or any features of it. If there was a menu button to customize it, would be 5 stars. Until i can figure out or developer informs me of where menu button is located, i will be using another app.

N70%
by N####:

Exactly what I needed. I was going out to purchase a travel alarm clock until I found this which does the job perfectly.

Q70%
by Q####:

I needed a simple, lit clock with large numbers to use when I meditate, one that would stay on and not blank out. I wanted auto-rotate, and some choice in color and font, for esthetics. This clock was just right. It has worked flawlessly for months, so I've pitched in and donated. Well worth it... support the author! (a starlit sky bacjground would be nice)

L70%
by L####:

I've used this clock for years. It's perfect for me. Just a clock with an alarm. I charge my phone at night so battery usage isn't a problem. BUT since my unfortunate choice to upgrade to KitKat, the screen is turning off during the night. This means to see what time it is I must push the side button twice to get the screen to light up. I'm using a Droid Razr Maxx HD.

If the colour was larger it would be so much easier... Is hell adjusting it on my phone

Q70%
by Q####:

Was a 5 before latest Android update. Was able to use any music for alarm, but now just an annoying/piercing beeping alarm. No other options working. Was so good before, donated to developer. Hoping they fix this, then will change this back to a 5 star.

Z70%
by Z####:

I just wanted a simple night clock. This one is perfect. I didn't need the button off feature, but I purchased it anyway to support the developer. Thanks for a great app.

D70%
by D####:

Have been using this for years. Very simple and easy to use. Perfect. Small issue I have at the moment since going to my S5 is that the next alarm is no longer showing, would be good to get back but great app either way.

Works great on my Samsung Galaxy S Tab. However, I'm unable to dim clock on my Galaxy Note Edge.

Nice display, large numbers, not too bright, simple to use, has the right features. Nicely done!

D70%
by D####:

Samsung S5, Lollipop 5.0.1, buttons didn't go off. I clicked the refund button, then saw the suggestions about automatic brightness and power the screen off and on, so I bought it again and tried them. No luck, and now the refund button doesn't show up. Clock is otherwise very useful.

I've used this app on 4 different devices. Simple, clean, no bloat, no interference with other apps or settings. Just a well engineered app. Donate to this developer, you spend more at the gas station buying a soda and a candy bar!! THANK YOU DEV!!!
