One issue only for me is - the small white bar at the bottom of the screen which shines too brightly in a dark room and spoils the light tranquility ! Please can you do away with this- otherwise the app. gets a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (⭐️) ### 4/5 — Love Love this clock app *2021-12-17, version 1.0* I give this app 4.5 stars. Love everything about it except that I can’t switch from 24 army hours to 12 regular hours and I hate trying to figure out the time. They just need to update that and I would give it 10 stars! ### 4/5 — Simple no ad clock *2021-11-20, version 1.0* I am very pleased with the function of the app with regards to the dimming swipe and color changing swipe. The font options are nice. The one setting I would like is 12-hour format vs 24-hour. Otherwise, I recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Good simple clock *2021-07-02, version 1.0* Everything as on description. Clock, colors, style, no ads etc. Kudos to the developer! ### 4/5 — Love it but how can I turn off the white bar at the bottom ? *2020-10-04, version 1.0* Really good clock in every way apart from my niggle about the white bar. ### 5/5 — Al-Gorithm *2020-08-14, version 1.0* Simple and effective. Good range of colours and easy to adjust brightness. ### 4/5 — Great 24 hour clock! *2020-07-09, version 1.0* I'm giving 4 stars not because of it being 24 hours. I always use military time. I gave it 4 stars because I need seconds lol. I love that it you can change color, brightness and design so easily. I know this won't ever be updated tho because it's on my 4s so it is what it is. Great clock tho. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2020-06-12, version 1.0* Love that it is no fuss, just wondering, I managed to get the font color to be black for a phase but then lost track, is there a way to do it specifically? ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-12-29, version 1.0* Been searching for a simple bed stand digital clock to replace my Windows app. Love the 24hour format, know immediately if it's nighttime. ### 4/5 — Only issue is bright bar at bottom *2019-12-16, version 1.0* Can the bright white bar at the bottom be turned off? Otherwise the clock is really cool and is great for a clock on bedside table when travelling. ### 4/5 — Great clock *2019-11-30, version 1.0* I love it, a very simple and straightforward clock. Not ‘that’ simple though: I was impressed to ‘discover’ the hue, tone, day/night options by simply using two fingers to explore the screen. Nice and subtle. Good job! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Simple but suspect *2022-09-29, version 1.0* It’s a very nice simple app but the white line at the bottom is annoying and the fact that it doesn’t show up in settings or that there isn’t a menu even to show an about information is a bit suspect to me ### 2/5 — Don’t like it *2018-07-22, version 1.0* Only uses military time. No settings to change ### 3/5 — 24 hr format only *2026-05-02, version 1.0* This was so close to being the perfect one! I’ve been searching quite awhile. Right color, right fonts, right sizing. Wrong time format for me. ### 3/5 — Remove ‘Home Bar’ *2024-11-20, version 1.0* override var prefersHomeIndicatorAutoHidden: Bool { return true } ### 3/5 — WHY ONLY 24 HOUR SETTING? *2024-06-28, version 1.0* I wanted to like this simple to use clock, but I live in the US, so my sleepy old mind has to do calculations just to check the time. I can’t figure out how to set it to our actual time. Other than that, it seems to have useful limited options. Even thermometers have a way to change between F and C° ! How about it? ### 3/5 — PLEASE GIVE 12 hour option! *2022-06-05, version 1.0* Ability to switch from 24 to 12 hour and its gold! ### 3/5 — Nice Clock But Needs Improving…. *2022-01-20, version 1.0* I really like this clock. It’s simple and clean. Works well as a night clock. Here’s my issues with it. 1. For some unknown reason the default clock face sometimes goes extra large and I don’t know why? And I can’t seem to force it to return to it original size. It seems to do it all by itself? 2. On my iPhone 11 Pro Max there’s a white scroll bar at the bottom of the screen in IOS. It’s pure white when clock is showing. Id like this to be turned off automatically when I open the clock. Others do it so it can be done. 3. I’d like the option to have the seconds dots to flash each second like a real clock. Make it an on/off option. 4. There’s no settings menu, just slide for brightness and colour changes. Id prefer menu options as well. The settings menu in the App settings in IOS do nothing. I’d be willing to pay to cover the extra work to make this one of the best night clocks as for the first time ever I’m using a clock as a night clock. ### 3/5 — Perfect except for the white bar *2021-05-03, version 1.0* I use this clock for it’s simplicity and the ease of use. But it has a massive drawback, that you can’t get rid of the white ‘home bar’ at the bottom of the screen while in use. I have to cover it with something while in use. It should fade out after a second or two and only come back when the screen is touched again. ### 3/5 — White Bar *2019-12-16, version 1.0* Can this be turned off at all? ### 3/5 — No 12 hour option. *2019-12-13, version 1.0* Give us a 12 hour option and get 5 stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just a clock *2026-02-05, version 1.0* Like others have said, this is just a bedside clock. No alarms, no ads, no gadgets, just a clock and it’s wonderful! Does everything I need it to do, which is let me know what time it is in the middle of the night. Thank you to the developers for “getting it!” ### 5/5 — It is what it says.. *2024-02-09, version 1.0* Just what I wanted. Don’t need bells and whistles on a night clock, my phone has alarms etc already. Easy to choose font, colour and brightness. Only improvement I would like is to get rid of the scroll bar line which is a little too bright compared with my choice of dark screen. ### 5/5 — Simple Dimmable *2023-10-12, version 1.0* Exactly what I needed! Just the time AND dimmable (slid finger up or down to control brightness) ### 5/5 — Finally a good clock app *2023-05-06, version 1.0* When you just need a clock for your room ### 5/5 — So so simple Bedside Clock *2023-03-25, version 1.0* This clock is amazing and so simple to set up. Get this and never look back. 100% and 5 star all the way. Love it ### 5/5 — Simple, Does only what it needs to do! *2022-11-04, version 1.0* The app advertises exactly what the app does, no ads, simple, just open it, swipe left right, up or down, double tap and go. Doesn’t drain battery, charged my iPad Air 5th gen to 100% unplugged it, slept, woke up with 87%, with airplane mode on it would be less, but I receive notifications etc throughout the night. ### 5/5 — No fuss *2022-10-27, version 1.0* I love it for the no invasion of privacy and simple working design. Just move finger or pointer around the screen to change color and brightness. The display can be made very dim so you are not keep awake by a dazzlingly bright display. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says on the tin *2022-01-16, version 1.0* Thanks UoN! ### 5/5 — Brilliant- Exactly What I Need *2021-12-27, version 1.0* Love this bedside clock app. I’ve been using a paid for app since I bought my first iPhone many years ago. It was ok but had started to suggest another paid for app and I could stop it doing this every few days. So looked around and tried a few and this was the best one I could find and was free. If you don’t need any bells or whistles such as alarms this is the one for you. It’s just a plain screen which can be customised using simple finger swipes. Excellent ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2021-09-14, version 1.0* No nonsense straightforward nightstand clock. In landscape or portrait mode you get a choice of style of time display and an array of colours that can be set to your own choice of brightness. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
