Otherwise great app but please fix !! ### 2/5 — Half the time it doesn’t work *2025-09-16, version 1.1.1* Half the time it stops updating, which for a clock is unacceptable. ### 4/5 — 24 format error *2025-07-18, version 1.1.1* This app is very useful for putting the time into corner complications. I haven’t had any complaints except for one: in 24 hour format it only shows three digits sometimes, when four should always be shown. For example, the time 12:34 PM in 12 hour time would convert to 00:34 in 24 hour time, but this app displays that as 0:34. This is not a technical error, simply a design error. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2024-12-17, version 1.1.1* I used to love this app but it doesn’t appear to work anymore! ### 4/5 — Great app idea *2024-11-14, version 1.1.1* Sadly it sometimes still bugs out and doesn’t update the time which is really sad, because if this didn’t happen it would be 10/10 app. ### 3/5 — Unable to Uninstall *2024-08-22, version 1.1.1* Downloaded this complication however it does not appear as downloaded on either my watch or my phone, therefore I am unable to uninstall this. Any help would be much appreciated! ### 2/5 — used to be great *2024-02-27, version 1.1.1* i’ve purchased over 4 years and has been a staple to any watch face i set up. just recently the time no longer shows anything accurate. for example the time just constantly shows “10:09”. for something so simply to not work is frustrating. ### 4/5 — large glanceable time for analogue faces *2024-01-17, version 1.1.1* great options and a larger time font option for my aging eyes however i noticed on my ultra after a night of sleep mode the complication was reporting the time 6 minutes behind … very odd! it didn’t catch up after waking the watch… had to re-add the complication. will have to see if the issue reoccurs but one of the main reasons i am wearing a watch is for consistent accurate time lol ### 3/5 — Sad *2023-07-27, version 1.1.1* Sad I loved this app, perfect time size and it worked. Now it disappeared doesn’t show up as one of my apps. In the App Store it says purchased. ### 2/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2023-07-08, version 1.1.1* I downloaded and installed it on my watch. The digital time appears on my watch face but the time is way off. I find no way to fix it. ### 3/5 — it stops updating the time even on latest version *2023-04-29, version 1.1.1* it stops updating the time even on latest version ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A clock that shows the wrong time *2026-06-11, version 1.1.1* The complication freezes at a stale time and stops updating. The one failure a time app cannot have. A wrong clock is worse than no clock. The dev's own patch notes admit this bug existed before, and it's still not fixed. Use World Clock or another time complication instead. ### 1/5 — Balchahal *2025-12-15, version 1.1.1* No information beforehand that it is a purchase item and then it doesn’t even download the app and start working . May at one time was active and functional, not anymore ### 1/5 — No longer works iOS 26 *2025-09-22, version 1.1.1* Time doesn’t refresh since iOS 26 ### 1/5 — Time doesn’t update after sleep mode *2025-04-12, version 1.1.1* The complication is exactly what I want but every morning after turning sleep mode off it gets stuck at a particular time. The only way I can fix it is to change watch faces and change back again. ### 1/5 — Does not update *2025-03-02, version 1.1.1* Updates maybe 5 times throughout the day so it’s never the right time. absolute junk. ### 1/5 — Does not sync the real time unfortunately *2024-12-08, version 1.1.1* See title ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync *2024-10-17, version 1.1.1* It doesn’t sync, always shows the wrong time. Useless. ### 1/5 — App Disappeared *2023-12-27, version 1.1.1* Shows as purchased in App Store, but doesn’t appear in Watch app anywhere ### 1/5 — One Job *2022-07-02, version 1.1.1* This app has one job and it fails at it…. To tell the time! The complication is wrong and the time is not correct. If you want to be late to things because the time is wrong use this app. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2022-02-03, version 1.1.1* After about a week of use, the time froze, as seen in many other reviews. So sad! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — As advertised *2025-09-21, version 1.1.1* Works properly on my series 10 in 2025. I just wish I could make the time a little larger. ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-07-20, version 1.1.1* Zero issues so far. I love that it has customizable options for small and large complications. Perfect for using analog clock faces but when you still want to see the digital time! ### 5/5 — Works great for me *2025-03-05, version 1.1.1* So I was looking for something for the Nike hybrid watch face and I looked on Reddit and saw this and I got it. It works great and on some like the Infograph it’s awesome idk why it doesn’t seem to work for others but it worked great for me 10/10 ### 5/5 — Exactly what watchOS needed *2025-03-04, version 1.1.1* Thank you for this add on. It is exactly what I missed on my watch. Seeing the digital time on an analogue watch face. ### 5/5 — Good working if you enable this setting *2024-11-27, version 1.1.1* Enabled background app refresh and syncs with current time. ### 5/5 — An Indispensable Utility *2023-05-19, version 1.1.1* This app is a truly essential complication for any Apple Watch! Adding the complication to a Watch Face makes it easy to enjoy the content of that Watch Face, all while having quick access to an easy-to-read digital “clock”. The positions for this complication are great because you can either view the Digital Time from any one of the four corners of the Watch Face, or from the center of the Watch Face, dependent upon which Watch Face you are using and what your preference may be. This app also has it’s source code available on GitHub which, in addition to having a great privacy policy of collecting no personal data, makes this app an easy sell for anyone needing a digital time complication. Overall, a seriously useful complication that accurately and elegantly displays something as essential as time. ### 5/5 — Works for me *2023-01-09, version 1.1.1* I work in a hospital and need to record time in 24 hour format but don’t want my watch to always be in 24 hour mode. Also analog watch faces do not do 24 hour mode. Having a small complication from this app in 24 hour mode is perfect while the rest of my watch remains in 12 hour mode. I’m using watch os 9.2 on an Apple Watch 7. ### 5/5 — Continues to work perfectly! *2022-11-22, version 1.1.1* Maybe these reviews are before the update? So far this is functioning perfectly. ### 5/5 — Functionality meets aesthetics *2022-04-29, version 1.1.1* Perfect for when you like the look of an analog watch face but can’t be bothered to use it to tell the time. ### 5/5 — Works perfectly now *2022-04-14, version 1.1.1* Last feedback was probably from another version of the app because right now the complication is working and updating just fine for me --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
