### 1/5 — Very Disappointing and Expensive

*2022-08-29, version 1.2*

UPDATE: After viewing a while, the Roman clock is totally whacked. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the time displayed.
ORIGINAL: This seems to be based on the civil clock. I was really hoping the 12-hour option would have the hōra prīma stating at daybreak and nox beginning at sunset. Not that I know all that much about it, per se, but enough to be disappointed. The calendar dates seem, so far, to be spot on, but I could have figured that out myself. The clock is the harder part. This is not worth the price at all. NOTE: It’s also unsupported.

### 5/5 — This is a fun clock!

*2020-11-12, version 1.2*

It’s cool and works great

### 5/5 — Creative way to show time

*2016-11-30, version 1.0*

This is a fun way of displaying time. I have found that the app is good way to force myself to practice Roman Numerals if I want to know the current time.

There are also some nice little additions to the clock that have made me learn a few new things, such as what the word "Kalends" means (the first day of the month on the ancient Roman Calendar)

Showed it to a friend who is trying to teach Roman Numerals to her daughter and she was pretty excited by this.

### 5/5 — This is a great app

*2016-10-02, version 1.0*

I've never concentrated on reading Roman numerals as hard as I do with this app. I'm especially enjoying explaining to my 7 year old why IX isn't written as VIIII. 
I recommend this to anyone who hasn't forgiven the Caesars for allowing the barbarians to become citizens...

### 5/5 — Praesignis

*2016-10-01, version 1.0*

Possibly the finest Latin language clock currently available
