    The sound quality is good - easily connects to my iPod to play music. However, the buttons don't work properly. To turn it on/off, you have to press the button repeatedly and hard. Frequently, it starts the sleep timer instead. Same with the +/- buttons. Frustrating to the point that I work the controls through my iPod instead.

    I was pretty excited for this but it’s Cheap hardware + a wonky old app. Spent quite some time to download the correct app figure out how to use it, and after meticulously setting my alarms every night I’d still not wake, and be late for work. Switched back to old alarm clock after about a month. I now realize at some point the speaker went out because I can’t get Any sound at all out of it. Even when it did work, the alarms were hard to turn off, the light would turn on mid of night , and the volume would turn itself all the way up, nice and loud though. I hate to think of how much money this thing cost me as an hourly employee .. I might get $60 worth of satisfaction watching It explode when it hits the ground from my balcony , after my return/exchange request gets denied, I assume. No I didn’t purchase the protection plan.

    Good radio alarm. The one problem I have is that I don’t see a weekend feature to keep it from going off on the weekends.

    I ordered iBT297BC as advertised on the site but was shipped iBT297v2 which is Not app enhanced. For the price it should at least come with a remote to control the color settings. Plus, it should show the date in the display. If you are ok with manually adjusting all features then its awesome. The led light colors are beautiful to watch.
