Night Clock: Donate (v. 2.44) Разработано Ned Fox |
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)
This version turns off button backlights for most, but not all, phones. In particular, some new ICS 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."

[2013-01-06] A Google User: Simple and usefull |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: HTC REZOUND with ICS Turned off AUTO brightness and button lights will go off if power on/off is cycled. ICS SUCKS!! Notifications come through even if block is checked. |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Basically, it rocks Does exactly what it says, but that includes the fact that some phones DO NOT turn off button backlights even on paid... They do warn you though, and have no problem refunding. The clock works perfect! Big numbers, displayed how YOU want, colors, next alarm... Would still buy if auto launch on plug-in... Great job! |
|
[2013-01-02] A Google User: Great looking clock Unfortunately this version doesn't turn the buttons off on my Galaxy Nexus. But still happy to donate since I use it all the time. |
|
[2012-12-31] A Google User: Jelly Bean broke "Mute Notifications" on Galaxy S3 Needs to be updated. Worked as advertised under Ice Cream Sandwich on my Galaxy S3 and was worthy of 5 stars then. After updating to Jelly Bean "Mute Notifications" no longer mutes vibration notifications. This is a showstopper for my purposes. Please fix! |
|
[2012-12-28] A Google User: Great app Buttons not working on jellybean. Please fix soon |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: Not working now With recent update alarm stopped working. Sam gal iii |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Great App, but a few issues. App is great, but on Jelly Bean, the background does not get completely black. Have to set the screen brightness to 0 and pick a really dark font to "Duct Tape Fix" the issue. Not sure if its the app or a limitation of the OS, but knocked a 5-star app down to 4 for me. No problems with alarms or buttons darkening with my Bionic on Whizzed Bean CM4 JB ROM. |
|
[2012-12-07] A Google User: No different than free version I do enjoy the night clock however it was a waste of money. It was no different than the free version, my buttons still light up and the work around does not work. It would also be nicer if the clock auto launched when the phone Is plugged in but you have to proactively turn it on. |
|
[2012-11-30] A Google User: Doesn't work. Used to be my everyday alarm clock on my droid X. Does not work on my new Galaxy Note 2. |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: Jelly Bean Unfortunately I paid the donate only to find that the button dimming feature doesn't work on my Nexus 7. That's okay though, and I'm sure it will be corrected in a future release. Simple is best with an alarm that's why I like like it. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: SImple Works fine |
|
[2012-11-10] A Google User: Great app...BUT Customer service is terrible. When I exit the app my volume for notifications stays on silent. I've emailed them twice about it with no response. This would be a great app if the volume issue was fixed and the developer actually responded to paying customers. |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Broke notification vibrate Love that it disables notifications at night however it messed with vibrate settings and notification vibrate doesn't work during the day. |
|
[2012-10-31] A Google User: Great App Old eyes love this simple LARGE clock face. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: V lacks AM/PM and seconds indication. Tie into weather app and battery status would be nice. |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: Simple and works! Love this app. Have used it for over two years now. |
|
[2012-10-21] A Google User: Great app with small bug Dim toggle feature doesn't work unless I turn off automatic brightness on my sgs3. I don't think that was an issue on any of my other phones. Please fix it! Other than that, five stars. Best nightstand app ever! |
|
[2012-09-09] A Google User: The Best I've tried them all......this is the best by a mile. Thanks, very happy to donate for this :) |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Brilliant Really great app! Simple to use and always reliable. Many thanks. |
|
[2012-08-30] A Google User: Exactly what I needed! I upgraded to the paid version so that the function keys do not light up when connected to a charger. |
|
[2012-08-27] A Google User: Stopped working HTC evo 3d. Worked for a month or so and now the button back lights don't shut off. |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: Paid for donate version, button lights still stay on HTC rezound - I paid for the donate version and my button lights went off, but then they started staying on after update. |
|
[2012-08-16] A Google User: Luv it if you could put more number styles that would be cool it's worth it buy it. great job guys |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: No dimming of buttons on htc One x Just upgraded from free version to get this extra feature. But unfortunately doesn't work... Other than that great but what's the point of upgrading if it does not bring you anything extra. |
|
[2012-08-06] A Google User: Buttons don't turn off Buttons don't turn off |
|
[2012-08-03] A Google User: Works great! Works just as described on an EVO 3D with ICS. |
|
[2012-07-30] A Google User: Good. Needs some fixes... I realize the ICS update to my galaxy s2 may be a source of the prob, but this used to work without any problems. Now my bottom row of keys stays on all night & wakes me up. I can't use it anymore. Sprint Epic 4G Touch/GS2. |
|
[2012-07-25] A Google User: Stopped working Alarm and sounds will not work. I made sure to uncheck the mute button so there is no reason it should have stopped working |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Good, but drains battery I had this app on all last night with the numbers dimmed and it used 40% power... |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Favorite App Works flawlessly on RAZR Maxx. Dims nicely for sleeping. Large, easy to read numbers. Love it!! |
|
[2012-06-27] A Google User: Lights don't go off Buttons don't go out on HTC One X. I'd give the free version 4*, don't waste your money on the 'donate' version, is no different. Sort this issue out and I'll give it a full 5* |
|
[2012-06-24] A Google User: Finally! A clock that uses all my screen real estate and it turns off the button back lights. Evo 3D |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: Works well, mostly It's got exactly the look and feel I wanted, and all the features. I had to take one star off because it doesn't turn off the button lights on my Samsung Nexus S. High enough value that I got the paid version anyway. |
|
[2012-06-19] A Google User: Simple and perfect Ned Fox is legit |
|
[2012-06-18] A Google User: Great Lost the ability to turn off buttons when my Verizon gnex went to 4.04. Otherwise a perfect clock that I use every night! |
|
[2012-06-13] A Google User: Perfect! Great for nights away from home, working out, or any time you need to see a clock clearly from a distance. Paid feature to deactivate button backlights works great on Droid Razr. Love it! |
|
[2012-06-10] A Google User: worth every penny! finally a perfect clock app, great for using with an android docking setup. love it! |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Love it! Gets me up every morning. Just wish the snooze button wan bigger. |
|
[2012-06-08] A Google User: Does what it says Its superb overall but its only downside is i started noticing in red colors shadows of the clock so it burnt its way into my gs2 oled screen. It would be great if that would get looked into. |
|
[2012-06-05] A Google User: Everything I want, except... it has all the features of what I need in a night clock. Custom color, dimmable display and silent operation (quiets the notifications) The only problem I have encountered is that when it wakes up the notifications will not go back to default volume. This is on the Samsung Galaxy S2. I will be reporting this to the developer. |
|
[2012-06-04] A Google User: Great Does just what I need. Not too bright and show the next alarm. |
|
[2012-06-02] A Google User: Nice app This is the best night clock app I have found. I use it every night. One night my charger came out of the wall and my phone died. That would also be a problem if the power went out. Could you add an option to turn off the display if the phone is disconnected from a power source after a certain period of time? |
|
[2012-05-26] A Google User: Poor Turned button lights off once, then goes back to leaving them on. Now I can't get a refund! |
|
[2012-05-24] A Google User: Good Clean, simple to use, well done |
|
[2012-05-13] A Google User: Just what I was looking for Really great and easy to use bedside clock. |
|
[2012-05-05] A Google User: The best clock I've found (Droid Razr Maxx) I am so happy I found this app. It gives me a clock with numbers I can read (in landscape), and that's almost impossible because I am so nearsighted. It also gives me a clock that is dim enough to let me sleep without disturbing me by being too bright. I have looked at many clock app choices, and this is the best! And did I mention a developer who keeps on top of issues and takes suggestions? Wow. |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: Basic features missing No way to make time white, or show seconds. |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Need a bug fix Brillant App, love it very much!!! Therefore, please please fix this bug: since I downloaded/ installed latest Android system update today the donation app is deactivated and the system keeps the button backlight on. HTC Sensation) :-/ |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Nice improvement over the stock Gingerbread alarm! This is a simple, reliable alarm clock app. You can choose from three fonts and many colors. The clock displays in portrait or landscape mode. I just have one suggestion - give us the option to have the app launch when charging / docked, so we have a more automated bedside alarm clock. |
|
[2012-04-19] A Google User: Love it. The only alarm clock for my Sensation which is predictable whether it will go off or not. Works well, and looks great. Only criticism is on the button lights; but you've kept us informed and showed us how to correct it. Love the app, love the attitude of the Dev. Thanks a lot. |
|
[2012-04-18] A Google User: Great app. Tested many If it had weather icons in corner it would be perfect. |
|
[2012-04-16] A Google User: The best there is! I've tried many clocks and this one is perfect for my nightstand (and also my car). My clock is broken in my car, so I've set my smartphone to open Night Clock so that I can see the time at a glance. Simple, efficient, reliable, and very easy to use. LOVE IT. I even bought the app, even though the free one did all that I needed. Support the developer, people! This is SO worth it! Droid Razr & Xoom! |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: Best One Out There Great simple app, thanx. |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: Does what it says on the tin Last year my 1988 red LED clock radio failed and I have gone without since... Replacements are all green LED! HTC Sense night clock doesn't keep the phone from going to sleep. So a no brainer for a quid. |
|
[2012-04-08] A Google User: Works well |
|
[2012-04-05] A Google User: Best..clock..ever Only one I ever use |
|
[2012-04-02] A Google User: Awesome Very dim background and does not interfere with the Droid X's native alarm app. |
|
[2012-03-30] A Google User: Awesome Works great on Droid bionic! Simple, effective night time clock. |
|
[2012-03-30] A Google User: Great app Dimmest night clock |
|
[2012-03-27] A Google User: So useful Replaced my bedside clock radio with this in a desk charger. Excellent for travelling too. |
|
[2012-03-25] A Google User: Great. Works perfectly in GB needs to be updated (I think) for ICS Thank you! |
|
[2012-03-08] A Google User: Awesome Great replacement for obnoxious alarm clock. Easy to see, any color want, you pick sound to awake to! |
|
[2012-02-21] A Google User: Sgs2 Love the bigass numbers, although could we have the "hyphen" flashing as seconds like the old-school clocks and a small AM/PM somewhere in the corner? |
|
[2012-02-19] A Google User: still problems with ICS Doesn't dim at all on Asus T.Prime. Works great on Xoom with ICS though. |
|
[2012-02-17] A Google User: Kim - Droid X Love it! The dim is perfect. Update 2/16/12 - still love the night clock but have noticed recently that the next alarm will show when I set it but have woke up in the middle of the night & it isn't showing anymore. The alarm will still show set as "on" in my alarm settings but I end up resetting them just in case. |
|
[2012-02-17] A Google User: Works perfect on RAZR In a world full of free crapps I mean apps finding one worth paying for is rare.... FOUND ONE!! |
|
[2012-02-16] A Google User: Nice app. Does one simple thing and does it well. Worth the price to turn off the button lights. Thx! |
|
[2012-02-11] A Google User: Worth cost Nice alarm app. Works with default android alarm so you can wake to music or video or whatever. Simple and does what it says. |
|
[2012-01-23] A Google User: Love this app This is a great app. I use it every night. I highly recommend it. HTC Inspire |
|
[2012-01-20] A Google User: Perfect Super clock! The best. Thanks! Can you add more fonts? Add weather please....@ |
|
[2012-01-16] A Google User: Freezes Freezes on my HTC Dream. No date. Uninstalled even though I paid for it. |
|
[2012-01-11] A Google User: Droid Razr Problem Loved it on my Droid2, but will not dim on my new Razr. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. |
|
[2012-01-03] A Google User: Jim Nice, very low light clock. |
|
[2012-01-03] A Google User: Works Great. It's amazing how bright the back lights are. Worth the money to have them off. HTC Desire cm7. |
|
[2011-12-23] A Google User: Lights stay on Great app but donate version doesn't shut button lights off. Toggled button but doesn't do anything..... same as free version..... wasted a dollar.... |
|
[2011-12-23] A Google User: Shari To turn button lights off, put phone to sleep then wakeup and lights stay off. But since Gingerbread upgrade snooze/dismiss setting is upside down. Please fix this. I have setting to allow clock upside down when plugged in set. |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: Bad permissions Why does a clock need my number and serial #. Not upgrading |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: I use this app every night I have been using thus app for over a year and have had absolutely no problems with it. It makes a great bedside clock. |
|
[2011-12-21] A Google User: Great clock Love this app. Use it every night. Reliable, any bugs swiftly fixed. |
|
[2011-12-20] A Google User: Great Simple Alarm Clock Keeps on top of bug reports and fixes errors promptly - of which this Droid 1 user only ever encountered once in 2 years use of free and paid app. |
|
[2011-12-20] A Google User: Great Clock Great clock. Alarm works, just wish the snooze button was bigger. |
|
[2011-12-20] A Google User: Great application for Droid. I use this every night. Sometimes bottom lights come on in the middle of the night but other wise very dependable. |
|
[2011-12-19] A Google User: Great Alarm Clock I use this every morning its awesome and love that all the leds are off and just the time is showing, totally worth it!!!!!!! |
|
[2011-12-11] A Google User: Used free version for a long time. My most used app I have. Highly recommended. |
|
[2011-12-10] A Google User: Droid x. Lights on the buttons will not turn off. Screen is dimmed and settings set so they should be off. But those buttons.are always lit when the phone is in the dock |
|
[2011-12-05] A Google User: Great nightstand clock Huge font for us who are practically blind, plus dims the screen and turns off the menu buttons |
|
[2011-11-23] A Google User: Best clock app! Best clock ever! Backlight already turned off with the free version on my galaxy S. Been using this continuously for a year and it's great. |
|
[2011-11-11] A Google User: works most times but not all times also emailed developer thru contact info listed here over a week ago and still havent reserved any sort of reply of any kind |
|
[2011-10-23] A Google User: Good App Works well! Used to have bb and this app is a great substitute for it! |
|
[2011-10-22] A Google User: 4 stars down to 3 stars. [Droid Bionic] Works as advertised. The reverse landscape option is great. **Update** Using in-app alarms, only dislayed next alarm time 1st night. |
|
[2011-10-11] A Google User: Excellent Use it when recharging at night. Dims fine on Droid Incredible 2. Buttons won't go off but that's ok. Really wish it could turn off "Charging" LED. |
|
[2011-10-08] A Google User: Didn't work Didn't turn the back light off - the soft buttons. Cost money. Will try refund. |
|
[2011-10-06] A Google User: Off/on trick to dim buttons works on moto photon. |
|
[2011-10-04] A Google User: Perfect before gingerbread update Lights stay on all the time but I emailed dev. So I'm sure this will be fixed soon. Otherwise it always use to work perfect. |
|
[2011-09-28] A Google User: Nice, but paid version didn't deliver I'm happy to pay 99 cents to not show the button lights, but that feature didn't appear to work. |
|
[2011-09-16] A Google User: Great basic alarm clock Please add 24 hr clock or small AM/PM and shake to turn on/off night light (camera flash) or a small "bulb" icon that would do the same. |
|
[2011-09-09] A Google User: Da best Da best |
|
[2011-08-22] A Google User: Great app. Was perfect with HTC Desire, but with Samsumg G2, the dimming function doesn't dim the clock much. |
|
[2011-08-22] mikefnz: Great app. Was perfect with HTC Desire, but with Samsumg G2, the dimming function doesn't dim the clock much. |
