### 1/5 — 现实的太少了

*2026-02-05*

现实的太少了

### 5/5 — Simple.

*2025-08-19*

Simple. Perfect.

### 1/5 — No features

*2024-03-24*

I thought this would be similar to Hamclock on Linus,pi etc…. It’s not. It’s just clocks and a map… thank goodness only wasted 99p

### 4/5 — Local 12 hour time is stuck on 24 Hour Time

*2023-12-11*

Hi Ben,

Can you please fix the local 12 hour time so it reflects AM/PM and not 24 hour time? 

Thanks in advance!

**Developer response:** That should be fixed now! It would happen if your phone itself was set to display 24H, but it takes that into account now.

### 1/5 — Not the real ham click app!

*2023-11-16*

Kinda worthless.

### 1/5 — No UTC on Watch

*2023-08-06*

Really? I bought this app to see UTC on the Apple Watch. But no, only grid squares.

**Developer response:** The latest version now shows UTC time and grid square on Apple Watch! Thanks for the feedback.

### 3/5 — Ok but not customizable

*2023-06-24*

No way to make the time larger, to hide the map portion, or to use it in landscape mode. I would like to set it up in landscape as a large UTC clock, with time remaining on the screen after the phone goes to “sleep” but it doesn’t support this.

**Developer response:** The latest update gives you a larger clock in portrait mode, but I kept the map because I like to see the gray line. I may add customization in the future, thanks for the feedback.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2023-01-18*

I really like this app! Love the grid square feature. Would love to be able to see UTC time on my Apple Watch, not just the grid square.

**Developer response:** The latest update now shows UTC time on Apple Watch! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Basic and Useful

*2020-08-07*

I love this app. I often just use it to get the time but for ham radio operating it’s an easy way to get UTC. (Sometimes I get confused about the time shift due to daylight saving time and Ham Clock always has it right.) It is also great for checking grid locator.

### 4/5 — Perfect - no clutter or overkill

*2020-02-11*

Thanks for this wonderful app that puts the time
formats I need in easy, clear view. Excellent for mobile monitoring trips or just on screen in my
station for logs.
Thanks!
