Use this way :

First convert your string to NSDate using NSDateFormatter.

Then directly compare those two dates with currentDate which is always [NSDate date].

You may use these two instance method of NSDate.

isGreaterThan: and isLessThan:

Or,

if (! (([currentDate compare:startDate]==NSOrderedAscending) && ([currentDate compare:endDate]==NSOrderedDescending)){
    NSLog(@"Valid date");
}

First try to remove AM and PM

Like its PM then add +12 in that time frame.

Then check weather the current time's digits which is before ":" is greater then start time and less then end time.. and if it is return true then you can check for the digites after ":".
