User reviews

Wortuhr, ja, ästhetisch leider nicht

Die Uhr zeigt an, was sie soll, leider aber auch ständig ein Zahnrad für die Einstellungen und (auf neueren iPhones) den unteren Strich zum Programmausstieg. Das stört das Auge.

Wünschen könnte man sich auch Wörter wie „gleich“, „kurz nach“ o.ä.

Suggestion to make it more useful

It is a good app as it is. I have a specific use where it is important to have the words accurate to the minute rather than to the nearest 5 minutes. I am referring here to radio broadcasting where accuracy to the minute is very important and mistakes in the time calls are unacceptable. I would be prepared to pay a premium for such a version and I know many other presenters who would do so too. So, how about it??? ;)
