Clocks
I find that this is a great and handy app to have and get
2025-06-18
Excellent app
Does a great job. Neat.
2025-05-04
Clocks
The variety of various different formats of the clocks is simply fantastic 👍😉
2025-02-25
A really useful app. Well designed
One of my top 10 apps
2025-02-18
Perfect bedside clock
Had this for many years. What’s perfect? Easy change in brightness without affecting other apps. Easy change in size and orientation. Almost zero updates.
2024-11-07
Tick tock
Love 💕 it
2024-10-06
Rubbish give me back my old one
Useless
2024-08-09
Invaluable
I use this app nearly every day, either on my phone or my tablet. The app is always visible, gives multiple clock-face options as well as analogue or digital versions and can be dimmed or brightened depending on your requirements. Excellent, easy to use and does the job.
2024-05-07
Great App and…
It would be even greater if the Home Screen icon showed the current time as well.
2024-04-02
Very useful
Large font and can vary between clock faces- analog and digital. Can also set alarms. With iPhones having tiny clocks, this has been really useful even from a distance.
Wouldn’t mind if the date were on it as well!
Overall, really good app. Had it for years
2024-03-31
Developers must be Chinese
I had this app for years but when I tried to use it today after a long time, iOS alerted me that the app warned to access my personal data! There is no link between time of the day and anyone’s personal data and Apple should act responsibly and remove Chinese state sponsored apps from the AppStore
2024-03-29
Impossible to orientate the clock
I have been using this app for a long time. A recent update has prevented me from seeing the clock in a landscape format. I have read the help about two finger rotations, and triple tap for lock/unlock but it is not working. The help text does not make any sense.
2024-03-26
Great clear clock with second hand
Several faces & digital options, clear, with or without seconds.
2024-03-15
iPhone 14
Brilliant
2024-03-12
Best digital clock ever….
I’ve had this now for about 5 years and it’s hands down the best digital clock app for iPhone. Highly recommended.
2024-03-08
Ad is blocking burn-in protection
This has long been a brilliant, simple app that does exactly what it says on the tin. However, its function as a screensaver is blocked now by the pop-up ad that occurs frequently as it blocks the movement of the clock around the screen when burn-in protection is enabled. Without an option to pay a small one-off fee this means over time the clock (and ad) may damage the device’s screen. If this is fixed, this will once again be the brilliant, simple app that it was.
2024-02-25
The one and only
I really can’t do without this fantastic app, I’m 69 next month and use it for my exercise etc,
2024-02-22
Excellent app
Using daily for many years highly recommend
2024-02-21
Good
Thank you 👍
2024-02-18
Simply the best..
Simply the best clock and alarm app for iPhone!
2024-02-18
Just great
A lovely large clock face. And two crystal clear digital ones. The alarm could be a little louder. But very happy with it. I have no problems recommending this app
2024-02-04
Bug report
Unfortunately, since the last update, it hides in the background on iOS 12.7.3. Otherwise, I’ve enjoyed it so far! :-)
2024-01-22
City names have disappeared on ver 3.0.7
Ver 3.0.7 has a bug: city names have disappeared from the world clock.
I am a long term user and love this app.
2023-09-04
Don’t bother
Atrocious app , absolute waste of time ( no pun intended)
2023-08-14
Hate it
Hate it didn’t go off
2023-04-29
Not good
Horrible - no quick timer…. Stupidly inaccessible function controls
2023-04-21
Orientation locks
The triple tap to unlock orientation of lock does not work and is annoying.
No idea why it locks in the first place.
2023-03-23
Best LED Clock Display I’ve seen so far…
…and I’ve downloaded quite a few :-)
Phone sits nicely in a charging dock by the bedside, app just doing its job. Does what it says on the tin, and does it well.

Rubbish, how do I delete this app? no instructions on how to set or switch alarm off, keeps beeping at the set time every night even though screen says it’s switched off??
2023-01-23
Perfect for elderly mum
She loves it.
2023-01-18
Bit to complicated!
Love the overall plan but far to confusing. To difficult to do find a way to get it to show controls.
2022-12-07
Right now one star…
Recently and perhaps due to new iOS, when I try to swipe away the clock face it goes into a loop where the clock face oscillates between portrait and landscape. Please fix as it’s almost impossible to get out of this oscillating mode.
2022-12-06
Not recommend
The alarm only works when the app is running in the foreground, disappointed!
2022-10-04
The Best
Simply the best Clock app on iOS at the moment, for me.
I use it all the time when away from home as a bedside clock at night. Good choice of clock faces and easy to dim the backlight too.
I also use it as a large clock, with seconds showing, when taking photos with my proper camera gear when I want to synchronise GPS tracking later on.
For example: Snapping a photo of the clock in my hand with my insta360 X3 logs the actual time (in the photo) I start (or finish) a large set of Panorama 360 stills so I can fix the time stamps later on back at base.
2022-09-28
Just good

Beware the alarm
Use this app as it has seconds which the Apple app doesn’t. But the alarm doesn’t work for me, not sure why. If you intend to rely on it, test it first.
2022-02-02
Great interface, easy to use
I love this app, it’s so easy to use and it looks great. Nice choice of analog or digital faces too.
2021-11-27
Elegant
This is an elegant, efficient app. Rare in this clamorous, over-busy age.
2021-10-19
Great clock simple to use with great features
….
2021-10-18
Useless!
No alarm unless your screen is on. Screen has to be off because I want to sleep! Get the thing to alarm and turn on screen in the morning and I’m sure it might work. Deleted
2021-08-22
Alarm
It is very useful to help get up on time and to be able to keep track of time taken on specific tasks
2021-05-30
Great for meditating
Beautiful clean interface and good functionality
2021-04-28
Simple, no in-app purchases, or annoying adds.
Just a big clock on your screen. Just what was needed- no idea why it is not part of the iPhone setup.
Free, and ad-free so not annoying!
2021-04-02
Best ever iPad alarm clock by miles
I have tried many clocks on IOS devices and they are always overly complicated. This one took minutes to fully understand.
I will check out any other apps by this developer. Well done.
2021-01-29
Wrong time shows in Home Screen
Bizarre. It’s 4:06 pm now in England. If I open the app to see the elegant clock face it shows the right time. But in the Home Screen it shows 9:06. The second hand is moving, so this isn’t just a photo of the app. If we can’t count on it telling the right time in the Home Screen, what’s the point of keeping it? Nil. Bye.
2021-01-16
What a fantastic app!
Such a simple thing to want from an app, to show the time in an attractive way.
This app gets it totally right with enough clock variations to keep most happy. Superb beautiful clocks amazing app for free! Top Stars!
2021-01-12
Just Perfect
I love this app. Use it every day. Just simple and easy to use and looks fantastic - great job 👍🏻
2020-11-16
Clock
Go for it
Fab Fab Fab buff said!
2020-09-12
Most useful app ever downloaded
Have used this for years and been fantastic as can charge phone over night and use as bedside alarm clock whilst charging.
2020-06-22
Excellent, easy to use and fully featured
A very useful app. With Covid lockdown continuing it would be helpful to display the day as well as the time as every day’s the same!!
2020-05-14
Great clock app.
A simple, clear and easy to use clock. Useful options such as Analogue or digital with or
without seconds means you can have what you want. There are no choices of colours but I for one need the clock to be clear not pretty. I will continue to use this app as before.
2020-03-30
Nice looking clock
It’s a lovely design for the clock which is just about all I use it for in my office. One serious downside is that it hammers the battery even, it seems, when not visible, hence the 3 stars . Improve battery life and you’ll easily get 5 stars.
2020-02-29
Simplicity is way to go
Thanks for making this UNcomplicated. It’s refreshing. All we need is the time displayed without frills. You’ve hit the mark!
I don’t usually write reviews but thus deserved a mention.
Life is too complicated as it is. Well done guys.
2020-01-10
Overdue!
This review is well overdue! I've been using this app for years and never got around to it until now.
Well worth five stars; I've not yet found anything better for my needs (most importantly, no advertising).
2020-01-05
A Clock X3
Simple, to the point, superb, exactly what is required by me.
Please continue with the simplicity & reliability of what is a clock, well three actually, with alarm facilities, nought else needed.
Well done & thank you.
2019-03-22
Brilliant and versatile app
I think that this app is outstanding, it’s totally free with no ads and does the job with panache.
It’s versatile in the way it can change cities with a single tap and style of clock just as easily.
Outstanding in its presentation, well done.
2019-02-16
Much better than the Apple offering
It just has more options and ones that are relevant to every day life. So easy to use. This is my preferred Clock app...and definitely over using the Apple one
2018-10-03
Neat
I use Clocks every day to time meditation and exercises, and in meetings as a reminder. It’s simple, clean and crisp - and fun to have a full screen clock. I like being able to flip from just hours and minute and seconds to just hours and minutes - and bac, and to be able to scale and rotate the clock faces. With iOS 12 it would help if Clocks did NOT count as using screen time on a productivity app. Thanks for a simple useful app..
2018-09-28
The Clocks .....
The clocks is a great full iPad full face clock app that I have found on line since Apple did away with there’s. Easy to use and change options , well done will continue to use .......
2018-09-25
Nearly there
Would love to have an option to have a clock showing the time zone I’m in now and a smaller clock within that same screen showing the time in my home time zone. A bit like my ancient BlackBerry did 15 years ago. I travel constantly across all time zones and find it hard to keep track. This feature would be really useful.
2018-08-13
Nice & Simple
David in Bristol said it so well. Nothing more to add except I hear airline pilots preferred analogue dials to digital as it have a sense of past and future as well as present.
This analogue clock with choice of dial colour works do well.😁
2018-02-12
Simply the best
Clear, simple teller of time. Choice of faces, choice of colour and brightness, no ads. Well done developer. Please keep this app up to date.
2018-01-26
Best Clock App Available!
All of the clock applications I have had have had big advert banners on the clock faces, making it hard for me to take nice photos with them and making the face itself look unattractive. This has no banners in the way and has seen less switching between faces, they also look beautiful. Very good app and I would definitely recommend.
2017-12-30
Impressive
It’s rare to stumble across developers who are in it for the pride and not the money, this little app is an absolute gem, ad free with so many configurable options. A tap on the back for a beautiful app!!
2017-11-01
Mostly good
Great app very accurate with good choice of clocks. My criticism is it doesn’t show time unless actually open. Would be great if actual time was displayed when app is closed but on Home screen page.
2017-10-27
Awesome
Finally, a simple clock that’s got just the right features and without ads.
Thank you
2017-08-25
What a great app
I don't often leave reviews but I stumbled across this app and felt compelled to write a few words of appreciation. The beauty of this app is that it is so simple but works so so well. It is exactly what I was after and is ad-free and never tries to sell me anything. Perfect!
2017-07-14
Works with Bluetooth!
Great alarm that works with Bluetooth (necessary if you need train wake up alarms). It's free, has no ads and doesn't nag you to install other apps like so many other alarm apps I tried. Does what it needs to and does it well.
2017-06-20
A simply outstanding app
This is simply an outstanding app. The fact that it's free might have you believe is got ads: it doesn't. It's cripled in some way: it isn't. May be it's not compatible with 64bit. It is! Get this app. It's simply an outstanding app.
2016-12-24
Simple and effective
In 7 years I've never left a review but thought this app warranted one. I've been looking for a simple phone app for my pad/phone for some time - this one ticks all the boxes and I can only recommend to all.
2016-11-12
Very simple; very beautiful
I love this app. Simple, beautiful, easy to use. The built in Apple clock is good but this is more customisable and therefore useful. I also prefer traditional analog clocks.
2016-11-10
Maybe the best...
Love the clock and alarm. All that is stopping me giving the full 5 stars is the size of the Snooze button. Any chance you could make it 3 times larger. I can't see it so well just as I wake up! Thank you.
2016-10-27
Beautiful
Simplicity personified. Does everything you could possibly need from such an app, and does it all so elegantly. If you're looking for a great clock/alarm app, you've just found it.
2016-09-27
Simple to use, plenty of features and free
It's easy to use, easy to set alarms, adjust brightness and choose a clock etc. Does all I need and more. Great app and it's free!
2016-04-26
Burn-In Protection
Just for this feature alone, the app is awesome. Combined with the rest of the features and functionality it simply sets it apart from rest.
