iHome iAVS16 Bedside Speaker with Alexa Built In, Bluetooth, and USB Charging, Now Supports Spotify by Voice

I want to give it back it’s not connecting to my app.The alarm and the time is not working .

Great alarm clock! The light slowly illuminates to slowly wake you up prior to your alarm so you are not suddenly woken up by the sound of the alarm

Bonito y práctico.

Received 10/6/2017:This alarm clock initially had some software problems, but once I put in a help ticket issues were quickly fixed. iHome has an 1-800 number that you can call during the day. I had no problems with their technical support.Likes:Has everything that I wanted in an alarm clock. I can pick any song/playlist from Spotify to wake up to or any station from iHeartRadio. There is no need for AM/FM radio when you can stream any music. It has a nice fast charging USB plug in the back. I particularly enjoy the light gently turning on 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. The programmable buttons on the top can be assigned to music streaming or to control any iHome smart devices such as bedroom light switches. Pairing all this with Alexa makes programming it a breeze.Dislikes:The display is pretty bright even at the lowest brightness setting. I end up turning off the display at night.

It appears that while designing this product, the company prioritized the "smart" aspect, and overlooked the base functionality. In order to use this alarm clock, you need two different applications that don't work well together. The music options are limited beyond what is expected, and a number of features don't work:The snooze button is suppose to be on a 9 minute timer, however my unit seems to be faulty in this regard. When the snooze button is used, the actual timer has varied from 30 second to 9 minutes. I have had the alarm go off a 30 seconds, 6 minutes, 2 minutes, 9 minutes, 1 minute, etc. This is very frustrating in the morning.Music options are not as advertised. The reoccurring alarm needs to be set through the Alexa application, however it cannot use Alexa music selections as an alarm. The music selection requires the Ihome application and is limited to iheart radio (with a reduced selection from the available iheart stations) or spotify premium (requiring ANOTHER application plus a monthly subscription). I'm in Canada and a number of my local stations are on iHeart radio, however these stations are not available on the iHome selection list. For music that is selected, there is no option that I can find to have the songs switch when the alarm is snoozed, so you continue to be woken up to the same song again and again, or manually switch.Overall, I am extremely disappointed in this product. It does sync up to Alexa, however, it is at the expense of the prime functionality of an alarm clock.

Algunas de las funciones como Información del Clima, despertador y música por Wi-Fi, no funciona correctamente para México y no estoy seguro si pasa lo mismo en otros paises.
