### 5/5 — DECIDEDLY RELIANT

*2026-05-21, version 5.5.1*

I have been subscribed to this app for a couple of years now, and it’s proven to be a reliable and highly customizable clock/time display for me. It’s easy to use, and has several different features that make my Home and Lock screen look great.

### 5/5 — It‘s fine

*2025-12-05, version 5.5.1*

Love the rainbow colors

### 3/5 — Not bad but…..

*2025-11-19, version 5.5.1*

It’s a nice widget but even with background app refresh on it displays the wrong time unless you open the app to update it .

### 2/5 — Lacks iOS 26 Support

*2025-09-17, version 5.5.1*

The widget does not work with Liquid Glass.

### 5/5 — Best clock widgets out there

*2025-07-02, version 5.5*

This app offers a free animated flip clock and a huge collection of visually stunning clock widgets. 

The widgets are paywalled but totally worth it — my favourite is the “Find My” widget, so nostalgic!

### 5/5 — Great app! Responsive developer!

*2025-05-06, version 5.4*

I suggested an enhancement and  the developer ended up implementing it. It’s rare to see a developer be communicative and proactive. I had to recently give up my IAP, but as soon as I can afford it I will be subscribing again!

### 5/5 — GREAT CLOCK APP!

*2025-01-28, version 5.1.4*

Finally, I have found a clock app that works for me. It’s UI is highly customisable and pleasant to the eye, and it provides several advantages for using the alarm function. I can recommend this app for anyone looking for a clock app.

### 2/5 — Ripoff

*2025-01-25, version 5.1.4*

You don’t get access to widgets unless you pay for the “plus” version, and you can’t pay for a permanent license - only an annual subscription. I’m sorry, but I am just not paying some random company $10 a year to give me a widget.

### 1/5 — Widget not working - Update again

*2025-01-06, version 5.1.4*

Widget is not working anymore. The Widget says it needs McClockface Plus. Settings say I was upgraded for free. Checkbox is green ✅.
But it doesn‘t work. Not usable anymore … fix pls.

Update today brought a fix. Thx.

Update: today again it does not work anymore (Terminal Clockface Widget). Even delege & reinstall. Reinstalling even shows all black empty widget. 
Not usable now.

### 5/5 — The best

*2024-10-28, version 5.1.2*

You can change it to dark or light change the boldness it really good so get it no subscription unless you want different fonts and stuff really good download it now
