Instruments sounded clearer and lyrics were easier to understand when they came from the Vibro II's speakers. While the Time Command was pleasant to listen to, overall, we found that the Vibro II produced a more authentic-sounding musical experience. We found the latter setting offered richer treble and bass with more oomph. Sonic IQ's's Sound Field Expansion setting allows you to spread the sound from the Time Command's speakers across a large area or make audio sound more concentrated. Even when we changed the app's Sonic IQ equalizer to the rock setting and enabled its bass enhancer, the bass still didn't have that deep hit we were looking for. We tested the Time Command's performance by listening to 36 Crazyfists' "Aurora" and Jay-Z and Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild." The guitar riffs on Aurora sounded crisp and the vocals were clear, but the bass sounded a bit too flat for our liking. Granted, when you connect your iPhone or iPad, you can access all manner of music services via the web, but without those devices, the Time Command is basically a brick. The one thing that's missing from the Time Command is the most basic feature of all, an AM/ FM radio. Like most alarm docks, the Time Command syncs its time with your iPad/ iPhone/ iPod when connected. It's a really great addition to the alarm clock formula. If the thought of being blinded first thing in the morning is a bit much, you can set your lamp to gradually increase its brightness level.

You can also set your light to automatically switch on to full brightness when your alarm goes off. The Time Command app gives you even more control, allowing you to dim or brighten the lamp's output (provided you're using an incandescent light bulb). This accessory lets you connect a lamp and turn it on and off using the dock. Time Command's best feature is its secondary outlet on the side of its power adapter. At times, we had to lock and unlock our iPhone phone for it to become responsive again. However, when we would navigate through the different settings, it would hang for a few seconds. In general, we appreciated the level of functionality the Time Command app offered. The player was fairly useful and allowed us to choose between listening to our personal music collection stored on our iPhone or Internet radio stations. To get to the app's music player, simply swipe from right to left while on the weather panel. If you want a more detailed forecast, you can tap the Weatherbug icon in the top left corner of the screen to open. Tap the calendar while on the weather panel to check the five-day forecast. Above that are the app's weather and music player panels. The Clocks tab serves as the app's home screen and provides you with your choice of a large digital or analog clock (we were partial to the analog version), as well as your alarm settings. That's the extent of the setup process.Ī bar at the bottom of the screen allows you to choose between Clocks, Brightness, Sonic IQ equalizer, Settings and Information. Tap yes to allow tracking and you're set.
