Description
If button lights don't turn off, try:1) Turning your phone's automatic brightness on or off
2) Tap to dim screen, then turn screen off and then on (using the button on your phone)
This version turns off button backlights for most, but not all, phones. In particular, some new ICS and Jellybean phones do not allow apps to turn off button backlights. If it doesn't work (with the tips above), just uninstall for a refund. Some phones disable my ability to turn the lights off, and unfortunately there's nothing I can do about that.
If the background is a gradient instead of just black, you need to: turn off "Force GPU rendering" in your phone's "Developer"
settings.

This is a simple, retro-style night clock. It will display the time in big, bold letters (three fonts and any color to choose from), along with having a built-in alarm (or you can use your stock android alarm, it it's supported). Since the screen will stay on while the application is open (unless you manually turn it off), it is highly recommended that you keep your phone plugged in to charge otherwise it will drain the battery.
Some features include:
-Silence notifications
-Tap to dim screen to lowest possible setting
-Launches when put into the multimedia dock (also has flipped mode for use without a dock)
-Font and color settings (when choosing text color, drag your finger away from the center to change transparency)
-Built in alarm (or use stock Android alarm, if your phone supports it)
-Show next alarm on clock screen
Some comments from users:
Kevin: "Simple, Effective, Does Exactly What I Want I looked at a number of other apps and this was the only one that did what I needed. It has multiple alarms; a great low light night time display; simple interface. It took me a minute to realize that I can add my own custom alarm sounds by putting an MP3 in the folder 'alarms' at the base of my sd card. I was also able to dim the back light on the buttons using tasker, but I plan on upgrading to the donate version if the alarm continues to work well."
Frank: "I'm blind as a bat without my glasses at night. The big numbers can easily be seen."
Aimee: "Works great on my Droid X. Exactly what I needed and my alarm still goes off as set. Great app with great dim feature that still makes it easy to see."

The best clock I've found (Droid Razr Maxx) I am so happy I found this app. It gives me a clock with numbers I can read (in landscape), and that's almost impossible because I am so nearsighted. It also gives me a clock that is dim enough to let me sleep without disturbing me by being too bright. I have looked at many clock app choices, and this is the best! And did I mention a developer who keeps on top of issues and takes suggestions? Wow.

Nice improvement over the stock Gingerbread alarm! This is a simple, reliable alarm clock app. You can choose from three fonts and many colors. The clock displays in portrait or landscape mode. I just have one suggestion - give us the option to have the app launch when charging / docked, so we have a more automated bedside alarm clock.

Love it. The only alarm clock for my Sensation which is predictable whether it will go off or not. Works well, and looks great. Only criticism is on the button lights; but you've kept us informed and showed us how to correct it. Love the app, love the attitude of the Dev. Thanks a lot.

Great app. Tested many If it had weather icons in corner it would be perfect.

The best there is! I've tried many clocks and this one is perfect for my nightstand (and also my car). My clock is broken in my car, so I've set my smartphone to open Night Clock so that I can see the time at a glance. Simple, efficient, reliable, and very easy to use. LOVE IT. I even bought the app, even though the free one did all that I needed. Support the developer, people! This is SO worth it! Droid Razr & Xoom!

Does what it says on the tin Last year my 1988 red LED clock radio failed and I have gone without since... Replacements are all green LED! HTC Sense night clock doesn't keep the phone from going to sleep. So a no brainer for a quid.
