Review summary

Users praise Night Clock + for being a simple, highly customizable, ad-free bedside clock that auto-launches on charge, offers very dim/night-friendly displays, and works across many Android devices. Repeated complaints include settings (size and color) not being remembered, unreliable auto-start/screensaver behavior after updates, limited alarm functionality, and occasional unexpected display turn-offs.

Pros

Highly customizable display (colors, fonts, brightness, size) allowing very dim/night-friendly modes
Reliable bedside/nightstand use: stays on, can auto-launch when placed on charger, and prevents screen burn with gentle movement
Ad-free experience and good value — free version is useful and paid upgrade is affordable and appreciated
Wide compatibility across Android versions and phone brands
Simple, focused UI that’s easy to use (tap to get settings/flashlight)

Cons

Clock size and some display settings sometimes reset or aren’t remembered between uses
Custom color or color persistence can fail (clock reverts to white) on some devices
Auto-start/automation and screensaver integration can be unreliable after OS updates or on some phones
Limited or missing alarm functionality and small/hard-to-tap alarm buttons for some users
Display can turn off unexpectedly (e.g., when charging pauses) and some users want scheduling to stop/start automatically

2025-01-07	To*****	Best replacement I've found for my previous "clock dock" style app that had not kept up compatibility with new Android versions. I miss the old app's ability to share alarms with other devices on the same Google Account, though. I would love to find another clock app that could do that alarm-sharing, especially with other family members' devices running the app. Still, despite not having multiple device features, this one is the "best of the rest".

2024-12-07	Na*****	Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Simple, customizable, stays on if desired, easy to use, and ad free even if you don't upgrade to more features. Thank you, developer, for making a clock that is usable and just a clock. Upgraded right away. Great job!

2024-12-05	En*****	I love this app Need a digital clock for that old phone laying somewhere in the closet or drawer just collecting dust. This app clock will give life to that old cel phone by using it as a desk or wall clock. Highly recommend the paid version to fully customize your clock settings like fonts.color, background,alarms. It is affordable.

2024-12-04	Je*****	It works great to activate the clock at a certain time while I'm asleep, but once it's activated you can't automatically schedule it to stop at a certain time. A simple but very useful feature for me.

2024-11-15	Th*****	Developer nailed it! Aside from not having an alarm feature (not the intention of this app), this clock is pretty much perfect! Lots of user-definable settings. Even the display can totally be adjusted for size and dim level, like extremely dim. Great job!!!

2024-09-23	An*****	This is the perfect app to replace your bedside alarm clock! The app has tons of customization for font and the information to be shown. In my case I just wanted large red numbers that are very dim. With automation settings you can set it to automatically open when it's put on a charger (during certain hours) and disable it to run on battery. This way it will open when you place on a charger at night and close when you take it off in the morning.

2024-09-19	Ma*****	I really like the app but it never remembers the size of the clock i set the last time i used it. It means i have to set the size every time i use it. It would be great if there was a way for it to remember size settings for the clock.

2024-08-29	Ma*****	Custom color not working. I got a new phone yes I have both apps the night clock and the night clock plus and neither one will let me change the color of the clock for the night to keep on all night long it just white but it does change the settings colors for the brightness and for the size.

2024-08-23	Ba*****	I like the app. I run it im conjunction with the Do Not Disturb function. My criticism is that when an update comes up ( usually Newsbreak) it shows with a very bright light.
