## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No sound

*2022-01-20, version 1.2.1*

No sound and it’s not clear how to change settings.  It would be very helpful if it would work in the background (if it does work at all).

### 1/5 — What is it?

*2022-01-10, version 1.2.1*

It is a watch face. Nothing more. Your phone already has a clock.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2021-08-05, version 1.2.1*

You’d imagine that one of the big points of purchasing this would be that you would hear what?  … yup you guessed it … BELLS!

### 2/5 — The clock is nice but.

*2025-09-02, version 1.2.1*

There are no options for color change or size. It
Is hard to see the red hands.

### 2/5 — Make it work in the background

*2024-10-04, version 1.2.1*

All this app needs to be even remotely useful as it pertains to the bells is to work in the background or when the screen is locked. 
Seems like this could/should be a simple upgrade

### 2/5 — Ok until your phone goes to sleep

*2019-12-11, version 1.2.1*

The clock looks good but as soon as your phone goes into sleep mode it closes. The ships bell do chime but again, unless you keep it active, it doesn’t chime if the phone is asleep.

### 3/5 — Would be pretty cool if you could read it.

*2023-08-18, version 1.2.1*

Why are the hands so dark? You can’t see them against the black background. Otherwise I would use it.

### 4/5 — Landscape or Portrait Orientation Ignored

*2025-09-24, version 1.2.1*

On a cell phone or iPad you can't tell without a bit of doing about whether the heading arrow is correct in the landscape orientation or the portrait orientation. Minor point but so simple to notice!

### 4/5 — Combat clock

*2022-03-24, version 1.2.1*

Is a awesome app. Only wish it would ring in the background too. Anyone who loves clock apps will love it.

### 5/5 — Simple combat block

*2026-05-10, version 1.2.1*

NICE clock works well bells sound sometimes but do when they should but love the clock 👍👍👍👍👍

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Review by a retired Navy blue shirt

*2025-04-16, version 1.2.1*

Very accurate ship’s clock replica with added GPS data

### 5/5 — Dual Time

*2023-10-20, version 1.2.1*

Works really great, especially if you’ve never been in the military but your company tracks everything with a 24 HR. time.

### 5/5 — Simple

*2021-08-23, version 1.2.1*

When you’re racing to see what time it is and you’re in a chaotic environment and you an old man from the analog generation this is for you.

### 5/5 — Combat clock

*2021-03-25, version 1.2.1*

When I saw this clock, I knew I had to get it.
It looks just like the clock on the quarterdeck of all this U.S. ships that I have been on as well as standing watch while we were in port. 👍

### 5/5 — Combat clock

*2020-03-31, version 1.2.1*

I like the look, bells are good extra. Seems to keep actual time and the bells are nice addition.

### 5/5 — Simple but nice

*2019-05-27, version 1.0*

Basic compass and GPS with pleasing vintage Navy clock face.
