### 3/5 — Good

*2026-01-31, version 3.0*

I think it should say what costs money and let me change colers

### 5/5 — Simplicity & Function

*2025-12-12, version 3.0*

Has worked as promised for over 10 years! Had to restart my phone a couple times after the iOS 26.1 update before the app's very useful landscape feature worked as it always had, so keep that in mind if you have that problem after install!

### 5/5 — O

*2025-02-09, version 3.0*

O

### 5/5 — Works as it should

*2024-12-11, version 3.0*

Price is fair, simple to use.

### 5/5 — Exactly right. Traveler’s companion

*2024-02-03, version 3.0*

Always used. Worth payment for colors/fonts. For trips, try this: place iPad (with power) in landscape, across from bed’s foot. High enough for head (half awake) to see glancing up in darkness. Open this app, full-screen, hour and minute only, Helvetica Neue Thin, this app’s “Work Time” theme (dark mode, of course). Slide your finger down the right side for a *mellow* semi-brightness. Hop in bed and fall asleep knowing you can fall awake and glance at the time whenever your primitive mind so demands.

### 5/5 — Simply perfect

*2023-12-22, version 3.0*

What can I say - it does what it says an no more and does it perfectly. Thank you

### 5/5 — Works great as night light

*2023-12-07, version 3.0*

I’d like to see a version in which the numbers and background are reversed. In other words, an all-illuminated screen but with black numbers. Or perhaps a version in which you can individually select both the screen color and the time numbers color, such as a light blue screen and dark blue numbers.

I have to stay in hotels very frequently. This App makes for not only an amazing clock display, but also night light illumination in sometimes very dark hotel rooms!

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2023-10-05, version 3.0*

A bedside clock that is customizable, takes up little memory, and collects no data. Simple and basic. What more could anyone want? Much better than iOS “standy” and all of the other clock programs I have tried.

### 3/5 — Needs one more update and then I will give it five stars

*2023-05-08, version 3.0*

#1 can/would you be able to update this app so The date is at the top of the clock plz and 2 when you're listening to music or just in general it needs a MusicPlayer at the bottom of the clock if you turn that setting on in the settings that way I can constantly be there and if you need to play music you can just play it from the clock and then if you want to go into the album you can click on the album and it will show the album and then show the clock in the day and time above them

### 5/5 — Does one job, and does it well

*2023-02-21, version 3.0*

I have a few iPads that are over 10 years old, so they will not run much current software. One or two of them are plugged in constantly and run as clocks with this application. The application has run 24/7 for many years with never a problem.

I like it on the iPad, because the numbers are big enough that I can see them at night in bed without having to put on my glasses! When traveling, I can run it on my iPhone overnight, while the phone is charging, and if the phone is close enough to the bed, I can still read the time.
