I bought this for my daughter to teach her to wake herself up for school. She has yet to figure out how to use the sleep timer (or maybe chooses not to) but she loves the flashing colors and the large readout for the time. The dual alarm is also helpful for different days of the week now that our home-schooling schedule is all crazy.

I love this alarm clock. Simple as that. I love how you can get the app and control the clock from your phone. The alarms are loud (though there is a volume option). I love how you can use Bluetooth to listen to music and what not. I love the lamp features to help relax me at night. Just a great product!

Great clock, good sound and nice colors. Only reason for the 4-start is that the battery only supports holding memory. You can only operate the clock when plugged in. If it could switch to operate on battery power as well it would definitely be a 5-star purchase

I purchased this same clock at target some time ago for myself and my sister wanted one as well so for Christmas I decided to get her one. Went back to target but they didn’t have it. So I was delighted when I saw Best Buy had them. So I purchased the iHome IBT297BC clock but instead got the IBT297v2 which is the version 2 of the original one! I noticed the difference when my sister downloaded the iHome app on her phone and noticed her clock does not connect to app on her phone. She still loves her clock but I would have rather for her to have gotten the clock I purchased in the first place. Why not return the item you may ask? The box was thrown away last week. Both clocks that we have work fantastic and we use it on a daily. We love that they are lamps and have clock radio and have Bluetooth.

This clock and speaker is great. Very good sound quality and very easy to use. You can listen to music off of your phone or change to listen to your favorite radio station. The rainbow colors can be turned off. Works very well with my iPhone 8.

I love the ease in setting up the time, alarm clock, and bluetooth. It's not only attractive, but so useful and does so much without taking up much space. It's a great all in one for my six-year old, who just loves using it as her night light!!!

Love this alarm. I bought two on a deal of day sale and gave one as gift. It has different settings so you can wake to light or music. The blue tooth connection, radio or alarm options are great.

To be honest, this thing is actually really relaxing. It reminds me of a lava lamp. Has great sound and easy to operate. Best feature aside from the settle light changes is the battery back up.

I got this for my daughter on her birthday and she loves it. It can hook up to her phone for music or phone calls and it works as an alarm. You can make it pulse to the beat which is really cool. Worth the buy

My old alarm clock died on me and I wanted to replace it. Not knowing that ihome made a light enhancing alarm clock with multiple features, I purchased one and have really enjoyed using my new alarm clock.

My daughter going off to college wanted something that the alarm would play from her Spotify playlist. This is the only one I found that would do that and have battery backup. Unlike the smart speakers. The only complaint is that she has to set it to the specific song she wants every night. She also likes the light usining it as a night light. She just started so we will see how it works long term

OK, but kind of wish I had the older version

The older version was app driven (mine isn't) and was easier to use (if the app worked, apparently often it didn't) The buttons are OK, but every time I need to fix the time, I have to re-remember how to do it, and its not intuitive. Has lots of light color selections, and a dimmer that should appease most people, though it would be better if it had a light sensor and adjusted automatically.
Apparently no one uses alarm clocks much any more so the styles are pretty limited. Looked like this was about the best of the bunch. I'm not disappointed with it, but its not a panacea for me, either.

What I liked about this was the radio clock! A lot of devices now are either bluetooth alarm clock or just plain alarm clocks, however this one has both and the changing colors are a plus!
