At my qth, in QG62ll, sunrise is said to be at 1.25pm, and sunset at 5.13pm (this IS correct) A very short day indeed for Brisbane! ### 3/5 — Help *2010-03-03* Yes, the Maidenhead doe not work and sunset time does not display either. As a clock it works and has a nice very readable large display. de N6GYR ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 现实的太少了 *2026-02-05* 现实的太少了 ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Total rubbish. Save your money. *2019-04-04* No way of selecting the 24hr clock. It’s stuck on the 12 hr system. No setting option or developer contact option. Than goodness I’ve only wasted 99p. ### 1/5 — Horrible Update *2018-12-16* Been using the app for years. It had all the basic info you needed. The latest update added the useless map and removed the GPS coordinates from the display. App is useless to me now. ### 1/5 — Needs work *2010-03-17* Seems like a handy program and I bought it for the grid square location identification ability but it appears to not work in Australia so hoping they can fix that bug Update: author of this program does not answer emails and his website does not appear to be running so no fixed bug! ### 2/5 — Watch component does not work *2015-07-29* The icon on the Apple Watch is just a gray, featureless circle. More important, the WTch app does not display the grid square or location. ### 2/5 — Thank you *2010-04-02* Nice app and I like the format. Please fix the maidenhead grid. It does ask to use the location but continues to display ENxxxx. So Ben, if two customers like it and both mention an issue, I guess the best response is none. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple. *2025-08-19* Simple. Perfect. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great app for field use *2019-10-02* App works great and love having it. I use it when portable and in field. Good job Ben! ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-09-20* Use with satellite passes to keep track of time. Great app! ### 5/5 — HamClock *2013-08-27* Very nice update. I love this App. Use it everyday. Thank You ### 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! Trent/KN6MCR **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. ### 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! ### 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! ### 4/5 — Very useful app *2018-12-24* I find this app to be invaluable when operating in the field. The user interface is very “clean” and easy to read when glancing at the phone. The new grid square feature and map is interesting but without a text search feature for addresses it’s of minimal value. I’d ask that the GPS coordinates field be restored. I frequently used the GPS coordinates to enter my location data on other apps or during web searches. ### 4/5 — Useful for portable ops *2018-12-16* I like this app for portable operations away from the shack. The redesign of the UI is very nice! I noticed one issue. The 12H local time on my phone shows 24H time. My phone is set to 24H. Not a big deal, but thought you might like to know it’s off. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
