Beyond Great

One-of-kind app. From this watch & time nerd, I think this is thee best app in its category. If they make it compatible with Apple Watch I might actually buy one of those things.
Truly exceptional work. Thank you!

Like this app

This is a neat app. I have one
suggestion: make the second hand luminous or at least not black in the night view mode - my old eyes have trouble seeing it!

My Dream Watch

I absolutely adore this timepiece. I’ve been looking for a watch/clock like this for a long time and this is definitely the one. If I could, I’d rate 100 stars 🤣 To all timekeepers and astronomers-THIS APP IS A MUST HAVE

Exceptional and Extraordinary !!!

I’ve never been impressed like that before, this app and the work put into it is simply extraordinary and exceptional, this app will certainly be my best app/friend companion from now on, thank you very much to the scientists and developers behind it!

Nice and interesting app

This is a nice and interesting app, i just wish the developer would create a ‘face’ for the Apple Watch based on it.
