“Delay” doesn’t display a countdown
This app has a clean easy interface.
I can’t use it in matches because the “delay” does not show a countdown. There is no visual sign that the delay is running. It should visibly count down and not run invisibly in the background.

Great app
And from this position…captures, captures. Great app from a great chess content creator. The app works exactly as it should. Simple. Easy to setup. Best of all free. No advertisements. Definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a free chess clock.
Lacks important features
There is no way to delete a custom clock you created that has an error. This is very bad.
The standard presets also lack several of the standard classical time formats. Add this and the app rises to 4 stars. Add the ability to customize sounds and add screen flashing and it would become 5 stars.

“It was in this position that the competition resigned the game”
Hello everyone! This is truly an elegant, convenient, and beautifully designed mobile chess clock. I tried this out with my friends at the bar and library, and they too were astounded by this brilliancy of a chess clock. When I found myself in time trouble, I was comforted by the nostalgic clicking of the timer which eased my nerves. Even the Pizza guy came over one day and I showed him this wonderful application while my friend (also known as the Hoodie guy on social media) tipped him generously. Even when I played some good ol’ bullet chess, the “captures captures” that ensued were smooth and, for a second, I felt like the capture-fest could go on all day. In short, this is a fantastic app that I highly recommend, so if you still didn’t pick up on my positive feelings about this until the end, then Sorry About That. I will continue to use this convenient app and expand my vast knowledge for years to come. I hope everyone has a great rest of their day!

Good
I just wish the numbers were bigger
Nice clock from a great character
Watch the channel as well for great chess analysis
Great clock, great youtube channel
My girlfriends likes seeing your dog in the background of the videos, hahaha
Really great clock
It’s a great clock and I’ve had no major issues. I just wish it had a way to add the classical fide variation in where after 40 moves additional time and after 60 a certain time for the rest of the game.

Antonio still no update for iPad
Thanks
Thanks
Best Chess Clock App Available
Simple, easy to use, and smart. Love the custom time section and the clock in general. Did a great job with this app. Also, if you enjoy chess, check out agadmator’s chess channel on YouTube. He does an amazing job.
Great simple chess clock
Would be nice if you could have music applications playing in the background simultaneously while the chess clock is in use.
Great app,although sound would be appreciated
Hello,the app is marvellous and I love it!! So thank you for the development and the effort. The only thing I would love to be added is the ticking sound of a real analog chess clock during play. If you got to here,congratulations you are an excellent reader of reviews and for those of you who just want to enjoy the show,1.e4.

Excellent
Thank you! It is better than I expected!
custom games not custom
for “custom” games, you should be able to give either side different times. akin to giving odds to one side to account for different skill levels
Great clock, some suggestions:
After toying around with the clock for a day with a friend and testing its limitations, I have decided it is among the best clock ok the app store. However I did notice a few flaws:
1. The response time of the clock is slow. It takes roughly half a second after a tap before you can tap it again, which cost me a round or two against my friend in one minute bullet chess. I would recommend quickening the pace of the turn switching animation to permit faster response times.
2. Both white and black can tap the same area to hit their clock, which could lead some inexperienced players to possibly double tap the clock by mistake (I suppose that is the reason for the delayed response time?). To fix this, I would recommend increasing the area of the clock that only white can hit, and the area of the clock only black can hit, which would also allow you to finish the animation sooner without speeding it up, helping with issue 1.
3. There is no customizability in the sound effects, which would be a unique feature not seen on most chess clocks.
Personally I enjoy that your app took armageddon time controls into account, and even allows for some highly wacky time controls such as 1 second + 1 second increment. Most clocks do not allow for such outrageous things.
Also, good job ensuring that volume actually works, some chess clocks fail to do that.
EDIT:
4. I forgot to mention that a move counter and a time control option after you reach X amount of moves would really make this the most versatile clock on the market.

glad to finally have this on iOS
Almost perfect
Love the app every works great.
One suggestion add an edit option so you can edit custom clocks you have already made.
