  • Benefits

    Knowing I can be able to tell time with this app, it is truly a very helpful clock, normally the ones I download you have to literally pay to change the time or add the date. But I was introduced to this app, again a very helpful one as well.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind review. We are glad our app could provide a helpful clock experience for you without additional costs or hassles. Providing a useful and straightforward experience for our users is our goal. Your feedback confirms we are achieving that goal, and we appreciate your support.
  • Enabling Dynamic Type on iPad makes it unusable

    I wanted to love it and was looking forward to using the Pomodoro too but having Dynamic Type enabled makes the clock digits unreadable and I requested a refund. If you can disengage Apple's Dynamic Type override and/or enable font size change within the app, I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

    Developer Response

    We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that you had difficulty using our app. We understand that Dynamic Type can sometimes cause issues with certain apps, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We will certainly take your suggestion into consideration and work towards implementing a font size change within the app. Thank you for your support and we hope to have the opportunity to earn your business again in the future.
  • Needs custom dates - otherwise great

    The app works as described. My only feedback is for customizable dates for those of us that don’t use the US date format.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear the app is working as intended. Your feedback on customizable date formats is greatly appreciated. We do recognize that different locales use different date formats and this can be inconvenient for some users. We plan to include more date format options in future releases so users can choose options that match their local date format. This will make the app more localized and user-friendly. We will be closely monitoring user feedback to find a balance of providing customization options where needed while also keeping the app streamlined. Thank you for taking the time to provide valuable feedback. It will help us continue to improve the app and provide a better experience for a wider user base. We look forward to sharing these updates with you in future releases!
  • Love the app!

    This app is perfect for being a nightstand clock at night while my phone is on the charger. I have one suggestion. It would be great if you could set the brightness from settings (which you already can) but to remember the brightness. When you leave the app it would be nice if it restored the brightness to what it was set to before launching the app. Then when you start the app it should return to the remembered brightness.

    I made a mistake and gave the app 1 star. I meant to give it 5 stars. I was also able to workaround the issue I wrote about using shortcut automations. When I place my phone on the charging stand, I have an automation that dims the screen and launches the app. I have another automation for when I take the phone off the stand, the brightness increases and the Home Screen comes up.

  • Perfect! Love the hourly chime notification too!

    I love how straightforward it is and that you still have options while keeping the overall interface minimalistic—no distractions with fiddling with settings for too long when studying, which is great.

    Also, I REALLY love the hourly chime notification option. As someone with time-blindness, this was a surprising god-send. No need to constantly set alarms (who’d WANT to do that every single hour of the workday?!) or timers that get tiring (and are easy to forget and make me startle once they go off and interrupt my flow).

    I would really love a way to customize the chime notification so I can set it for 20min or 45min or what have you. Please consider it, if it’s possible!

  • Current year on display screen

    Would be very considerate to show current year on the display page for us seniors, as you’ll find out in the not so distant future!!! Thanks a million.
  • Awesome

    On the morning once I wake up I put this on my desk to help me keep track of the time. I like how you change how it looks!

    Awesome app, keep it going
  • UI still too fussy

    While I love the design, the developer keeps completely redesigning the controls and how to access them. In this version, major functions (like mute) are hidden, and not listed in the menu options. I only found out about it's existance when I posted a previous review, and they responded.

    Any accidental touch of the screen interrupts the display, meaning you have to fiddle with it, making it annoying to use as a sleeptime clock.

    I'm honsestly perplexed as to why the UI continues to be so fiddley, user unfriendly. After sticking around for 3 versions, I gave up and went to a more stable app that does not change with accidental touch, minimizes with a swipe like most apps, with more standard and accessible feature menus.

    - Longtime vintage / flip clock afficionado.

  • Clock falls behind actual time

    The clock falls behind. Only way to bring it back to real time is to click on app interface. This happens repeatedly during every 24-hour cycle. This software issue needs to be fixed.
  • Date is too small

    After the major update the date is hard to read 😞
