### 3/5 — Minute hand is always half a minute behind!

*2020-03-09, version 4.7*

I used to love this app, but now the minute hand is always half a minute behind, so it’s hard to tell at a glance what time it is with any precision. For an app whose very design screams precision, this is just incredible.

I can only guess that it’s not been updated in a few years so it no longer works well in recent iOS versions. If that’s not the case, then it’s a mystery why it now has this major defect.

### 2/5 — iWatch support..

*2019-02-23, version 4.7*

Tried to open the app on my watch today. Claimed that it could not open because it needs an update. Been 2 years since the last update. 4 stars overall but removed 2 stars from this review due to it no longer working on my iWatch.

### 3/5 — Does not support iPad

*2019-01-17, version 4.7*

The app is great and visually attractive, but it appears to be for iPhone or watch only, as it is portrait mode only. The app cannot change to landscape mode.

To the developer- please include landscape in a future update! I had hoped to use this for a cabinet clock for display purposes, but cannot because of this problem.

### 3/5 — Cute APP

*2016-06-23, version 4.6*

I was trying to find an app that would allow me to display accurate Zulu time on my iPhone and iWatch. This app does not let you select what time zone you want the watch to display. That greatly limits its functionality. Otherwise it's a cute app.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2014-10-26, version 4.0*

I've had this app for years, and it was always reliable.  Now it's been "upgraded," for some reason, and it doesn't work at all. Won't open. It's just a clock, couldn't they just leave it alone? Do not buy this until it has been fixed. It's useless now.

### 1/5 — do not upgrade

*2014-10-22, version 4.0*

I have the paid version of this app and after the upgrade I’m getting message that I need to upgrade to get ‘live synched centiisecond.’ Also, I prefer the old app color scheme. At least give the option of that scheme.

### 1/5 — Just updated and lost almost everything.

*2014-10-20, version 4.0*

I have a thing spinning around and something incrementing. Total crap. I want the old one that I paid for back!!!

### 1/5 — PRO VERSION CRASH

*2011-05-02, version 3.1*

Every time I attempt to select another time zone it crashes. I've deleted it and reloaded it and I did a full iOS restore, nothing helped. I loved the cheap version but I wanted to add the military time feature. What a disappointment. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

### 4/5 — Make sure you read the instructions.

*2010-11-02, version 0*

I didn't read the instructions and had problems, then following a post I found and read the instructions. It is really a great time keeper, in either mode.

### 2/5 — Limited Use - Resetting The Alarm Is A Hassle

*2010-08-15, version 0*

An option to set repeating alarms (weekdays only or user selected days of the week for instance) and multiple alarms would improve this app.

Good otherwise.

### 2/5 — Does Not Appear to Work As Advertised:

*2010-06-21, version 0*

The program is not intuitive, the alarm went off 2 hours later than it was set for and only after another app was shut off. My understanding was this app was suppose to push through another app.The atomic clock is cool and a good tool for reference when setting the rest of the clocks/watches you have though.

### 4/5 — What's going on with the Price?????

*2010-03-28, version 0*

I bought this App less than a week ago for $4.99. I just saw it the App Store for $1.99 WHAT"S UP. Plus it just shuts down wheneverit wants,,,,

### 2/5 — Was Really neat clock app, now crashes

*2010-02-25, version 0*

One of the first apps I ever bought and still on my home screen! However version 3.0 keeps crashing on me. 
Still no landscape mode and new icon is too dark. 

I love the interface, very slick. I'd give 4 stars even without the atomic feature.  I have a couple suggestions:
Have an option to suspend the auto-lock when running (other clock apps do this) to keep it visible when the iPhone is docked. 
Also, how about a large-digit landscape mode that can be seen from across a room?

Update for New Version:
The "disable auto-lock" feature doesn't work. The iPhone still goes to "sleep"

### 4/5 — I use this app for live TV broadcasting

*2010-01-23, version 0*

As one of the Program Directors for a small production company, it is up to me to cut into an existing program schedule with an occational live program. This App has been invaluable and very accurate. In a job where I live or die in half second increments with about 6500 people watching, this is my (and two of the directors) time piece of choise. It does every thing it says, and has not frozen up once on me.

I would give this 5 stars if it had a countdown option, would stay locked on rather then timing out, and rotated for use in landscape mode. There are also times when I need to sync with a station that is as much as 1.5 seconds off. In cases like this it would be very handy to have an adjustable offset.

### 1/5 — Very Accurate! But....

*2018-12-17, version 4.7*

But, the Apple Watch app doesn’t seem to exist.

### 1/5 — NOT a watch face !!!!! Just a time app for your phone.

*2018-04-10, version 4.7*

This is placed In The Watch face section . This is not a watch face ! The ad is very misleading . Nothing more than a accurate time app that you can get free other places .

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2017-07-01, version 4.7*

Not a watch face....do not buy

### 1/5 — BS NOT a watch face.

*2017-03-21, version 4.7*

Don't buy if you looking for a watch face.  I will make sure this app gets pulled.   Thanks

### 1/5 — So where is the Apple Watch app

*2017-01-26, version 4.7*

I paid to use it in my watch since you are displaying a sample. It is not working or downloaded to my watch. So I need a refund or get a working app.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2017-01-08, version 4.7*

This is made to look like a watch face for your Apple Watch it is nothing of the kind it is just a glorified stopwatch on your iphone or iPad and then they put an app on the I watch so that you can watch the seconds and milliseconds countdown a total scam!!

### 1/5 — RIP-OFF

*2015-10-23, version 4.3*

Everything everyone else is said about this program not running under iOS 9 is true.  It appears you also need a subscription to get the highest accuracy.

### 1/5 — Crashes on launch

*2015-08-23, version 4.3*

As others have reported, the latest release crashes on launch. In my case iPhone 5 iOS 8.4.1. Suggest  waiting for next release before purchasing.

### 1/5 — Totally broken: does not launch

*2015-03-14, version 4.0*

This app used to work fine. Now it's totally broken a crashes on launch, every time.

I even tried deleting and reinstalling.  No luck.

Please fix ASAP!

### 1/5 — Atomic Clock Pro

*2014-12-13, version 4.0*

Was working fine, multiple skins for analog and digital. Then it was "upgraded" to not working right.  Only the second hand is displayed, and the settings screen doesn't change anything.  Goosbye, Atomic Time Pro....

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-11-12, version 4.7*

To the guy with the “misleading” review, this app was not meant as an Apple Watch face; it’s an atomic clock.

App is great and very accurate!  Allows several different sources too.

### 5/5 — New Update

*2015-12-25, version 4.5*

New update fixed everything works like a champ best clock on the market!!

### 5/5 — Welcome Back!

*2015-11-30, version 4.4*

Great app, finally updated to work in iOS 9. Glad to have it back!

### 5/5 — Working as expected

*2014-11-11, version 4.0*

I have installed the update on an iPhone4, iPhone5, iPad2, and iPhone6. It is working properly on all. If you are worried about it not working do a backup first so you can revert if the app doesn't work for you.

### 5/5 — I like this new version

*2014-10-24, version 4.0*

No crash for me
I get .05 accuracy syncing.
And .01 as promised with the extra fee.
Sounds good to me...
Good job

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2010-03-10, version 0*

Look no further. It has most of what I want, and looks slick to boot. And when I pointed out it was missing some features I wanted, the company was responsive in soliciting my desires. Looking forward to future updates.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised!

*2009-11-23, version 0*

Great accurate clock. Love the clean smooth animation. Wish it synched the iPhones clock but otherwise it's perfect.

### 5/5 — Atomic Clock

*2009-11-11, version 0*

Working full-time in the radio business, time is very, very important to me. I live my life by a clock, and this is one of the best clock programs I've ever seen. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do, tell time. I paid $4.99 for it and it's worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Works great; needs more options

*2009-10-25, version 0*

Works as advertised, but needs additional display options like choice of 12/24 mode and date display. Would like to see a generic digital hours-minutes-seconds display option without the glitzy animation... How many people care about centiseconds?

### 5/5 — Still  a Five Star for Me

*2009-09-07, version 0*

I wish the next update. If there's one. Please add a date. Don't have to include month or year. If you can it'll be cool. Thanks.
