### 4/5 — Awful

*2026-08-12, version 2.5.2*

12:30 SIMPLE NOT like:
12
30

### 3/5 — Why I like it

*2026-08-03, version 2.5.1*

I have always been a night owl; working night shift so I wake up many time during the day the night.  It’s there to guide me

### 4/5 — Clock disappears at nite

*2026-07-21, version 2.5.1*

I have enjoyed using this app for years. Lately however it doesn’t continue to display the clock all night while iPhone is on the charger. Would rate it 5 otherwise.

### 2/5 — Clock stays in 24 hour mode, no matter what

*2026-07-21, version 2.5.1*

I’ve been using the clock in 12 hour mode until today when I opened it it went into 24 hour military time and I could not find a switch to talk between the two this lowered my rating from five stars to two stars since I don’t enjoy trying to do the math

### 4/5 — Dimness affects main phone brightness.  Also date display problem

*2026-07-18, version 2.5.1*

I set clock very dim at night. But if I leave click app the display settings on the phone are affected. IOS 26. Please correct.

Also the date will display when I have set it to not display.  Have to keep going back into settings to turn it off.

### 2/5 — Update wont fade in

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.1*

There was an update a while back and ever since my alarm wont fade in. It just blasts my normal phone alarm volume. It says "when clockphone is closed it will play system volume" but its never closed at night?? I leave it on the clock all night and it still blasts without fading in. It was the best app before, and ill change my rating once this issue is resolved. Can we have a toggle or something please? I miss the fade in.

### 5/5 — Happy to have this when traveling

*2026-07-09, version 2.5.0*

Large easy to read numbers. Brightness is perfectly subtle for a dark room. No extraneous ads or other distractions on the display. I prefer the 24 hour mode.

### 5/5 — Continues to get better

*2026-07-09, version 2.5.0*

A great app. Always get ting better with every update.

### 4/5 — Great app! Needs more customization.

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.0*

Love this app! Been using it for a while. It has most of the things I need. I would just say that there needs to be more customization for the widgets. Being able to change the size and font of the app would be huge. I know you can change the how thin or wide the numbers are but I also think the size and font of the time is being slept on. Once there is more options I’ll come and change my rating to 5 stars without hesitation.

### 5/5 — Clock phone

*2026-06-24, version 2.5.0*

Very useful

### 5/5 — Alarm order

*2026-06-18, version 2.5.0*

Thank you for developing the clock app — it’s a great tool, and I truly enjoy using it. 

I have one suggestion regarding the alarm feature: instead of sorting alarms only by time, it would be helpful if they were organized by date first and then by time. When an alarm is set for a future date, it currently appears alongside more immediate alarms, which can be confusing. If you’re able to take a look at this enhancement, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Very functional

*2026-06-15, version 2.5.0*

Very functional

### 5/5 — Great app!!😃

*2026-06-08, version 2.5.0*

Excellent used for many years

### 5/5 — Love ClockPhone

*2026-06-08, version 2.5.0*

I’ve been using CP paid version for more than a year. My only complaint was that for the alarm to work, the app needed to be running in the foreground.  That’s been added with this update. This is an excellent alternative to a bedside clock and since you take your phone on trips, you don’t have to mess with the clocks they put in hotel rooms.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Alarm no longer works since last update

*2026-08-12, version 2.5.2*

I have paid for this app and used it for over two years. Unfortunately, the last update seems to have broken the alarm feature. I have been late to work three times this week due to my alarm not going off and getting up late. 

I liked the app but literally it is putting my job at risk. Deleting this app even though I paid for it to find something reliable.m
(Also app support takes me to Facebook?!? I don’t use Facebook.)

### 1/5 — Bullying Tactics

*2026-07-19, version 2.5.1*

This App when trying to set the alarm continuously hounds me to pay extra money for new feature which I don’t want or need - has been an ok App up until now but now it won’t let me save Weekdays beside. A new alarm setup and constant popups asking for more money.

### 1/5 — Transparent doesn’t work

*2026-07-10, version 2.5.0*

Bought paid version to have transparent widget but it will not change

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-06-29*

Useless. All useful (maybe) futures under paywall

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.

This is actually not how ClockPhone is designed to work. Unlike many other apps, every paid feature can be tried before purchasing. You can test every single feature and only decide whether it’s worth paying for afterwards.

If this wasn’t clear in the app, then that’s something I need to improve. If you could email me at kostinuum@gmail.com (you can do that directly from the app), I’d really appreciate hearing what made it seem that everything was locked behind the paywall.

Kind regards,
Evgenii, developer of ClockPhone

### 1/5 — no longer works

*2026-06-24, version 2.5.0*

the latest update killed the app entirely from working on Sonoma and its now useless to me. so much for my lifetime purchase. support locked behind a facebook page—can't login to send message. no desktop widget, no app, no use, no support.

### 1/5 — Garbage App

*2026-06-24, version 2.5.0*

Zero stars. This app is a complete failure. It constantly resets itself, wiping out my settings, my alarms, and even the way I customize the interface. Every few weeks I’m forced to restore my purchases like I never paid for the app in the first place.

For a paid app to behave like this is unacceptable. It’s unreliable, unstable, and absolutely not worth the money. At this point, it feels like I’m renting my own purchase.

Total waste of money. I MY MONEY BACK!!!

### 1/5 — its ok

*2026-06-07, version 2.4.8*

I bought the so called extra features but its just the same thing. Its ok. Its not really what I expected and hate when there’s no free trial to and least try it first.

### 1/5 — Senility

*2026-05-23, version 2.4.8*

Annoying payment requirement and impossibility to set alarm on everyday for free

### 1/5 — Not the best

*2026-05-14, version 2.4.6*

It will not let me set a timer

### 1/5 — Часы останавливаются

*2026-04-17*

Через некоторое время часы останавливаются, отставая от системных. Купил версию pro. Как так?

### 5/5 — Clock phone our savior

*2026-08-18, version 2.5.2*

I was down in the dumps, my wife had just divorced me and gotten full custody over our 5 kids, our house, and most of our assets. I was at a bridge, ready to end it all, but then I was informed about clock phone. With clock phone I gained the confidence to become the world’s first quadrillion air, started a cult that worships it, and my own personal harem. Thank you clock phone.

### 5/5 — Request uninstall

*2026-08-09, version 2.5.2*

I know how uninstall an app but I don’t know where to go to stop the charges from going to my bank. Thank you.

### 5/5 — This app is the best!

*2026-08-08, version 2.5.2*

I have the digits colored red and dimmed to the max. I can see the time with no unnecessary light!

### 5/5 — Very pleased

*2026-07-30, version 2.5.1*

The free version is just fine for me and I enjoy the screens . It gets the job done

### 5/5 — Handy App

*2026-07-23, version 2.5.1*

I love being able to set my phone on my bathroom counter in the morning so I can easily see the time while I am getting dressed!

### 5/5 — Visible but not too bright

*2026-07-22, version 2.5.1*

I love that I can have a big number clock that is visible but not overwhelmingly bright all night with this app and my phone charging which I do anyway.

### 5/5 — Very disappointed

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.1*

The function is poor, making the widget hard to adjust. It shouldn't be in the App Store; it's not even worth $0.10. Shame on the developer.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-07-14, version 2.5.1*

Dependable!

### 5/5 — I have requests

*2026-07-12, version 2.5.1*

can you please add more customization options for example gradient options for the clock and I want it do support live activities and Dynamic Island that you can customize it deeply and please add the real transparent widget option instead of using the background transparent widget option

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-07-10, version 2.5.0*

Dimming for bedtime is invaluable
