My original iOS Chess Clock from 2008 is back... in all its old-school Skeuomorphic glory!  Two clocks. Tap one to start the other counting down. Tap both to stop both. Tap the little clock icon to set the time, and the info button to change the settings. Chess Clock includes features found in competition chess clocks, including Fischer, Bronstein, and USCF ("Simple") delay modes, which work in both digital and the visually appealing analog mode. Also, since this version was rewritten entirely within the borders of Switzerland, I guess this might be the cheapest Swiss timepiece you can have. Features: • Analog flag movement that swings back and forth as it falls (which took me a silly amount of time to get right, but I like it) • Set each clock independently • Analog and digital modes • Adjustable time delay (Bronstein, Fischer, and USCF modes) • Highlights the currently running clock ## Key features - Dual clock display - Fischer, Bronstein, USCF delay modes - Analog and digital modes - Independent clock settings - Active clock highlighting - Skeuomorphic design ## Recent user reviews (10 of 16) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/chessclock/id287026942/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Problème *2015-05-11, version 3.2* Ne fonctionne plus ! ### 1/5 — Glitched *2015-05-10* Worked great for quit a while but now ......................... It's totally glitched ### 2/5 — Bug *2015-04-29, version 3.2* Ne fonctionne plus sur iPhone 5s iOS 8.3 L'écran reste bloqué en mauvaise résolution ### 1/5 — It just boggles the mind *2013-09-11* I fail to understand why the concept of a simple chess clock is so hard for any develop to implement competently. Seriously. It's. A. Timer. And yet, of about the three features that this one does, it fails spectacularly in one of them: setting a custom time. If you try to change the time using the standard iPhone number dials and click save... nope. Doesn't work. There's no way to change the time using the dials (for anyone interested, I actually did end up trying to press cancel to see if the labels on the buttons were reverse but that didn't work either). It really makes you wonder if some of these developers have opened their app a single time. ### 5/5 — Works very well *2010-12-28, version 2.2* Nice app, good price, does exactly what it says it does. Like the analogue clock too. ### 4/5 — Corrigé sur iOS4 - ok *2010-09-01, version 0* Fonctionne maintenant sans problème avec iOS4. Fait son boulot sans problème. Il serait bien que l'horloge (digitale) fasse un bip ou quelque chose audible quand on arrive à la fin du temps. Merci au développeur pour sa réactivité suite à la sortie de iOS4. ### 2/5 — 設定画面への切り替え方法に工夫がほしい。 *2009-07-05, version 0* ????????????????????????????????? ?????????? ???????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????? ### 2/5 — デジタル表示は微妙 *2009-01-18, version 0* チェスクロック初購入ですが、アナログ表示ではとてもいいアプリですが デジタル表示の際は、音がなくタップしても交互に動いているかがいまいち 判り辛い感じです。 ### 3/5 — New version is good *2008-09-13* Any chance you could make the touch area bigger for switching turns easier? Newest version broke the timers accuracy. The tenths of a second doesn't work now ### 3/5 — Great but needs to be able to go negative *2008-09-04, version 0* I'm not a chess player, but for use with other games such as Scrabble, this would need the ability to go into negative time. Hope that's upcoming. ## Frequently asked questions about ChessClock ### How does ChessClock work? ChessClock features two clocks. Tapping one starts the other counting down. Tapping both stops both.
