I tried a dozen dimmable clock apps over a two year period. They all had the same problem - the more I dimmed the numbers, the brighter gray the backgroud became. Even the best of the bunch threw enough light out, from the background, to light up the room. When I woke during the night and glanced at the screen, it was so bright it caused me to squint. Then I had to roll over, with my back to the screen to go back to sleep. Otherwise, I could sense the light through my eyelids. Don't know why I even tried another app. I had given up up on finding the right one many months ago. Tben I found Nite Time. It is about as close to perfect as I could have expected to find. The background is vastly darker than the other apps I tried - almost pitch black. This one causes no squint whatsoever when I wake at night and no light penetrates my eyelids. Without the bright background of other clocks, I can dim the numbers all the way down with this app and still read them easily - even with the super skinny font, Helvetica UltraLight, which I use. As a bonus, the numbers are very large. I can read them, without my glasses, from several feet away. That's a must for me. For someone wanting a better night's sleep, buy a good mattress and download this app. Kudos to the developer!

I have a few iPads that are over 10 years old, so they will not run much current software. One or two of them are plugged in constantly and run as clocks with this application. The application has run 24/7 for many years with never a problem. I like it on the iPad, because the numbers are big enough that I can see them at night in bed without having to put on my glasses! When traveling, I can run it on my iPhone overnight, while the phone is charging, and if the phone is close enough to the bed, I can still read the time.

I purchased this app on my iPad, as I usually use it for my bedside clock. I will agree with many of the other reviews that this clock is superior to the other ones I have tried in the area of dimming. I have searched far and wide for a bedside clock that won’t keep me awake with its backlight. This clock has the dimmest face I have seen and I love that about it. However, in order to achieve a level of dimness that won’t keep me awake, I had to purchase the upgrade for the thin font and the dark blue/purple colors. No big deal - I don’t mind doing that. BUT when I tried to use it on my iPhone, I found that the upgrade was not included - I had to purchase it again for my phone. That feels like a rip off to me. Just sayin’.
