### 5/5 — Love this app!!

*2026-07-03*

Love being able to see the time displayed in the dark.  Yet so soft, not bright at all, very unobtrusive AND great background sounds! The best app.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much.

### 1/5 — I really like this clock BUT not any more

*2026-07-03, version 1..1.9*

I really liked this clock until it got updated.Now some of the functionality is no longer available. I can no longer use any color that I want on any background color. I like using dark red or dark blue on a black background so it wouldn’t keep me awake on my bed stand. Also it really it really needs a wake up alarm

### 3/5 — Recent changes are annoying

*2026-07-01*

Just recently the clock no longer switches from portrait to landscape just by turning my phone. Now an extra step added…why make something that is perfect more complicated??? Also, in last 3-4 days the time is broken, only the hour shows but no minutes visible??? 
It looks like this 10: …
Please fix these issues, please? Thank you, I loved my digital clock prior to these issues. I hope I can love it again!

**Developer response:** I’m deeply sorry for the frustration this update has caused. I recently made a major update to support more themes and new features, and unfortunately it introduced issues that affected some existing functionality, including the automatic portrait/landscape rotation and the clock display.

I know many people, like you, have been using this app for years, and I truly regret that this update disrupted something you relied on every day. That was never my intention. I’m actively working on an update to restore the experience and fix these issues as quickly as possible. Thank you for taking the time to report them and for your patience. I sincerely appreciate your support over the years, and I hope to earn back your trust with the next update.

### 1/5 — Problem Minutes not shown on iPhone 13

*2026-06-29*

Version 1..1.9 ??? App paid

**Developer response:** I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. I’ll submit an update as soon as possible to address this issue. If you could kindly contact us via email, I’ll personally make sure we resolve it and ensure you have a top-notch experience. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

### 5/5 — New portrait to landscape

*2026-06-01*

Love this app but I don’t know why the rotation from portrait to landscape changed. You now have to hit a button that changes it instead of just rotating your phone. I use this as my gym clock since it has seconds on it but I often rotate my phone and find this change cumbersome.

### 1/5 — ВИДЖЕТ ГДЕ???

*2026-03-15*

ВИДЖЕТ ГДЕ???

**Developer response:** Привет, извини за путаницу. Не могли бы вы уточнить, какой виджет вы имеете в виду? Это приложение является приложением для часов и в настоящее время не поддерживает виджеты. Приносим извинения за причиненные неудобства.

### 5/5 — Lembrete

*2026-02-19*

Bom dia, o relógio ele não desperta, pra que serve o lembrete?

### 5/5 — Edd Gray

*2026-01-30*

The Digital Clock is making a horrible sound as it changes seconds. I would like not to hear that.

**Developer response:** Hi I think your white noise sound is enabled, you can go the tab to deselect it. If you need helped please contact me I will guide you through!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.4*

The best digital clock ever

### 5/5 — Hand hmmm

*2025-12-29, version 1.1.4*
