Great design and functionality, but a few issues

This has been my favorite nightstand clock app to use with my iPhone 5s in an Elevation dock I keep on my nightstand. It has lovely animation that reminds me of the old flip clock my parents used when I was a child. And the icon looks great too.

With that said, its not perfect. The last update (released in February 2014) changed the brightness level so it cant get as dim as it used to like in previous versions. Even with my iPhones screen brightness turned all the way down and the dimmest screen setting selected in Flip Clock, its now a bit too bright and is annoying at night.

Second, the portrait orientation mode isnt true portrait orientation mode since Control Center (which is part of iOS) isnt accessible from the bottom of the screen when its upright - it can only be accessed from the left side of the screen when I have my iPhone docked. This is silly and annoying since the iPhones orientation is easy to access and detect for developers and from my own (very brief) foray into learning app development, its straightforward to incorporate into how an app works.

If these two issues were fixed, this would pretty much be my perfect nightstand clock app.
