The app also provides you with a weather forecast for the day ahead, including the current temperature and conditions, as well as the day's high and low. You can tap a tiny calendar icon in the top-right corner of your device's screen to cycle through the week's forecast, or tap the equally tiny WeatherBug logo in the top left to go to the WeatherBug site.

Swipe the weather forecast and you'll see media playback controls, which you can use either for your iOS device's music library or for Internet radio. (Again, enabling Internet radio is done by tapping an extremely tiny button in the top-left corner.) You can create a playlist of songs from your library or choose your preferred radio station by tapping the tiny icon in the top right.

One annoyance of the app is that in order to set alarms using the app, you have to tap the bell icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen, and then tap Set Alarms, but the settings for the alarm volume, snooze time, and sleep brightness are all in the app's Settings tab. (Other options therein let you choose from a 24-hour clock and an analog clock.) However, I do appreciate that the Time Command app lets you control the brightness of your iOS device's screen and the main unit's display independently, including turning them both off.

There's also a five-band equalizer that lets you tweak the audio output of the Time Command. The EQ includes five presets and the capability to adjust the unit's stereo separation.

I found some of the Time Command app's features difficult to discover. For example, Stem says that the Time Command app features "custom backgrounds with 6 designs to choose from." But in order to change it from default gray to one of those designs, you have to swipe on the background itself--something I never would have thought to try.
