### 5/5 — Turns my phone into a clock - that I can see!

*2021-04-02*

Absolutely LOVE this app! I love the choice in colors, but I typically use the red, love the option to use “seconds” features and when I’m not using it as a clock (typically used at bedtime), I frequently use both additional features of stop watch and timers. Offers both, standard and military time formats. My hubby wants the same app but he has Android! Would love it if developers could make for Android users. My hubby doesn’t see well and gets up frequently thru the night and is dependent on my clock. I tried buying “just a clock” in stores and on Amazon, but have not found a decent product that even comes close to this app!

### 5/5 — THE BEST CLOCK

*2021-02-22*

Every night I turn this app on, rotate my iPhone XR to landscape, and put it on a wireless charging stand. The big numbers are perfect for my aging eyes to see with my glasses off. The app can be switched so your numbers are various colors. The brightness level is easily adjustable so it doesn’t illuminate the whole room. My alarm comes through and is easily switched off. I love this app.

### 5/5 — Great for teachers!

*2021-02-22*

I use this app in my classroom all the time when I need a quick activity timer. Love the color options and updated seconds timer. I added it to my iPad too and MacBook so I can use it for my own work timer for time management. Super helpful app!

### 5/5 — Simplistic

*2020-03-10*

Very simplistic and gets the job done. No ads and please keep it that way!

### 5/5 — Best simple clock app

*2020-02-13*

I tried several of these clock apps and this is my favorite! I deleted the rest of them. I love changing the color - pink is "fun time" after work and on weekends, green is work hours, orange is nighttime  :)

### 5/5 — NICE SIMPLE CLOCK

*2019-09-28*

Small file size, simple design, easy to see, use, etc. Nothing annoying, flashy or unnecessary - which is exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Pretty good!

*2018-12-31*

I like this app however I wish the numbers were better looking. They look a bit like matchsticks placed close together, I think they could and should look better. Having said that this app is free so perhaps there isn’t too much to complain about after all.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2018-01-10*

Downloaded this app while traveling         Needed a clock so my husband could check the time in the hotel room during the night. Its soft glow also made a great night light. I liked having the choice of three colors as well. Would also be great for anyone with low vision.

### 1/5 — Old version phenomenal, new version boo

*2026-08-25*

The old version was perfect. I’ve been using it in my classroom for years. The new version sound is not good, timer is harder to use, and buttons are unlabeled and unnecessary. Please bring back the old one!

**Developer response:** Thank you for being an educator, and for the detailed feedback — it's genuinely helpful.
Better audio options for the timer and clearer button design are both things I'm actively working on based on feedback like this.
In the meantime, there's still a lot the new version offers for the classroom: "Time Zone Assistant" and "Learn 24 Time" help with teaching global time concepts, and "Multi-Stopwatch" is useful for friendly competitions.
Feel free to email me at support@singlesailsoftware.com.
Thanks,  Andrew — Independent Developer

### 1/5 — New version is terrible

*2026-08-21*

This was my go to big screen clock app for years. The updated version sucks! The numbers don’t fill the screen and the new fonts are useless. I deleted it. Sad

**Developer response:** Hi there, sorry you're frustrated with the update. In landscape orientation the numbers should fill the screen. If they're not, it's likely your device has portrait orientation locked (check Control Center — the icon turns red when locked). Turning that off should fix it.
If you're still having trouble, I'm at support@singlesailsoftware.com and happy to help. If you'd prefer something simpler, there's also 'BRC Classic' — a streamlined version with fewer options.
Thanks,

### 1/5 — Stops updating on M1

*2022-04-10*

I love the app, and it works great on my Intel MacBook Pro. But on my M1 Mini it stops updating. Quitting and restarting gets it working again. I don't see a support contact so I'm posting here

### 3/5 — Medium Red Clock

*2026-08-27*

From my perspective, the clock was perfect the way it was. With a recent upgrade, the clock became smaller and thicker. I prefer the bigger original font.

### 4/5 — Works for me

*2026-03-30*

Give me a Clock that's easy to read as I am disabled in the menu by a clog seems pretty tiny and I don't want to have to open the Clock app just to find out what time it is. Recommended.

### 4/5 — Almost there...

*2025-01-29*

I would rate this five starts as it is perfect my my uses if the developer could update it to include a setting do disable the audible alarm of the countdown clock. I use this for Zoom presentations and it's incredibly loud and disctractiing when I'm speaking and the timer hits zero and the arlam sonds, and keeps looping until you act on it. I use the tiomer onscreen so I can see it at all times and I don't need the audio reminder.

### 4/5 — Pretty Good

*2023-11-11*

Like the big clock style. For what its worth, if it could somehow be modified to include optional set rotation of the clock to have your phone standing normal and use it, that would be perfect for my needs and would be the best 5/5 star clock.

### 4/5 — No alarm

*2023-07-20*

I got this because a reviewer said it had an alarm. It does not. Would be great if it did. App appears really nice and easy.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2021-10-29*

Two things would make this perfect for me.
1. Allow for a single audible notification for timer, not repeating.
2. Allow a minus sign instead of clearing the timer

### 4/5 — Love it but needs to add seconds

*2020-01-23*

I work  in Transportation and I love this clock with its easy to see big numbers, I can easily glance at it and get the time for my time points.
The only thing it’s missing is the seconds, I would have liked this to be an option. Knowing the exact seconds would help a lot for many applications including time checks.

### 5/5 — Great tool for Zoom meetings

*2026-08-25*

I use and recommend Big Red Clock as a tool when hosting online meetings. It is a discrete way of keeping track of time without appearing distracted or showing loss of focus. As a therapist, I can manage my appointments more easily without the need to check a watch of nearby clock. I keep the clock window small but it remains visible.

### 5/5 — Big red clock

*2025-04-18*

12 hr 24 hr stopwatch and timer

### 5/5 — THE BEST digital clock app

*2025-02-28*

Been using this for several years. My family too. The clock is nice and big on the screen, especially on iPhones that do not have a home button. I like the different colors. I like that. It’s not flashing, and I like having the option of showing the seconds or not. I have an extra phone and it just has this Clock open 24/7. I love it!

### 5/5 — BEST CLOCK APP

*2025-02-15*

We use this app in a national dance competition company and it just works. We know it’s going to work perfectly and show clearly every time we pull it up. I highly recommend

### 5/5 — Use it every day and nigt

*2024-07-05*

went from 14 pro to 15 plus iphone and lost my stand by always on  this solved it. Thanks

### 5/5 — Absolutely stellar!

*2023-11-28*

Fantastic clock, stopwatch, and timer. The big digits can be useful, but most importantly they make it sublimely simple, straightforward, and uncluttered. For free! What a nice gift to the whole world! (It may take about 15 seconds to “master” it, so be patient. /s)

A hearty thanks to the developer!

### 5/5 — Perfection!

*2022-12-06*

I love this clock. Simple. No data collected. No ads. Does exactly what I expect. 
Thank you! How can I donate?

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-06-25*

It’s a great  clock visible from anywhere in room. 
This app I use everynight.  Only downfall is your phone remains unlocked while clock is in use.

### 5/5 — A macOS Clock That Does the Job!

*2022-05-24*

This free app offers a clock, a stopwatch and a timer in a simple design. The compact mode is an additional feature that floats the clock on top of all other windows. It is perhaps not the most elegant app, but does all three jobs really well without overengineering. The developer is very responsive to suggestions – my recommendation to change the color of the title bar was reflected in an App Store update within a week.

### 5/5 — Works just right!

*2022-01-24*

I work in a kitchen and our wall clock out the day I forgot my watch. Looked up clock apps real quick and found this one. App works great and was pretty much a life saver since it goes full screen for you, thank you!
