For night usage (its primary design goal) you customize screen brightness and ringer options including 'soft ring'. Dock Clock is optimized for AMOLED screens and fully supports Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).
HTC owners: Due to choices made by HTC the hardware buttons on many HTC devices can not be turned off by third party applications using the standard Android API. Some third party ROMs do fix this HTC bug.
Dock issues: Please try the new 'Dock (alternative)' activation mode if Dock Clock doesn't launch automatically upon docking.
If you have a compatible dock any app can 'unlock' your phone, this is Android design.
(Requires internet access permission in order to update weather).

AVG AntiVirus: AVG have confirmed that Dock Clock was temporarily incorrectly flagged as malware, this was due to a 'false positive' match in their software. They have now removed this false positive and white-listed Dock Clock.
