iHome+Sleep is the most feature rich alarm clock app for iOS. Including many ways to enhance your sleep lifestyle, including:
• Fully customizable alarm manager
• Nap alarms
• Gentle wake
• Wake and Sleep volume control
• Wake and Sleep to iPod library
• Wake and Sleep to Internet Radio (requires $1.99 iHome+Radio app)

• Integration with iHome Set for quick configuration of iHome app-enhanced devices
Please note:
On iOS 5 and later, you must slide Bedtime before going to sleep in order to hear your desired wakeup tone/music/station. If you don't slide Bedtime, and then you lock your iOS device screen, the alarm will behave as a background alarm, read on for warnings about background alarm behavior.
On iOS 4.1 and later, iHome+Sleep supports backgrounded alerts for the programmed app alarms. This feature is NOT recommended for use when docked to any speaker dock, including some of iHome's app-enhanced speaker docks. Background alerts from apps like iHome+Sleep will not sound from the iPhone/iPod internal speaker while docked to an audio accessory, and therefore may go un-detected by users if the audio accessory is powered off, or muted, or in a different mode (such as FM radio). iHome recommends only relying on background alarms when your device is undocked, or connected to a non-audio-capable charger accessory.
Some new iHome speakers are also "app-friendly," and will automatically power on when audio is detected from the iOS device. If your iHome is app-friendly, you will avoid the above issues.

Customer Reviews
Less Bright PLEASE
What has happened to the dimming ability? It was once ok (2 updates ago), but now it is too bright. I would hate to have to use another app, just because this one no keeps me awake. OTHERWISE... I have loved this app for about 10 months.
Poorly thought out update nearly ruins app :(
Before the update this app worked great and I used it everyday, but now I wish I could find an old version. One of the more annoying "improvements" is that you must leave the screen on all night for the alarm to work. You used to be able to turn off the screen, to keep the brightness down, and the alarm would still go off properly. Ads are now included as well as a newly requires second app to use the base unit's alarms. What the heck were they thinking with this update?!?
Alarm no longer works.
Uh, yeah, the radio app finally works--if the phone is unlocked and undocked. <face palm>. This is almost funny. But mostly irritating. Y'all owe me some money. Not sure about anyone else, but I'm close to starting a social media campaign.
I don't give a flying **** about the weather: the damned alarm no longer works--making my iHome device a very expensive (and flaky at that) charging station. Do you guys test this stuff?
I make a point of foregrounding the app and in fact I unload all other apps--and it still doesn't work. I should not need to and will not leave the screen on.
I understand that the problem is partly iOS but you need to give us clear and explicit instructions to make the damned thing work.
