I bought this a few weeks ago as it was discounted. The alarm clock is just what I needed: it can dock my iPhone 4s with protecter, it has pretty good sound quality and has 2 alarms. It comes with a decent app for setting the alarms. I had also bought the logitech s400i a few weeks ago, but the HouseParty Rise has superior sound quality, plus the volume couldn't be changed on the Logitech when the radio alarm went off (very annoying).

It has some more advanced features as well like use iPhone as a remote for a docked iPhone/iPod, but I haven't used that. There's a little remote with the alarm clock, which is good enough. Changing FM channels with the remote could be easier, you have to press the search button for a long time, otherwise it will just shift the frequency a bit. Changing the frequency manually isn't something I really need from the remote, so they could have just made it simply change the channel.

Mine worked great at first, than it only linked up intermittently, evan when it was docked with my 4s. Sound was good, clock was easily visible, controls were manageable, the interface app was the best part when it worked.
