This app has been the best night time clock on the app store for many years now. It's sad to see it go stale now. ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2022-05-07, version 3.0* One change would make it 5 stars. That change is the ability to dim the numbers even more. Even at its lowest setting it’s still decently bright if it was 15-20% less bright at its lowest it would be perfect. ### 5/5 — Please don't remove this app *2022-05-01, version 3.0* Quietly, sufficiently, and helpfully this app has don nothing but to sit by my bedside for years upon years - both my home bedside as well as next to me while I've travelled. No app that I have found over the years has been as functional and as aesthetically pleasing as this app, which serves its purpose as a night time clock. It is as close to perfect as I can imagine for this function. It doesn't need to be updated. I do not want it to be updated. Please do not remove it for not being updated. ### 3/5 — great but.. *2022-03-27, version 3.0* makes my phone crash. something glitches everytime i use this app. the screen goes black and i can’t turn it on or touch any buttons for a minute or two. very frustrating. i’ve also tried screen recording this app, to watch the clock tick over to an interesting date and time (2:22 22-2-22), and when i watched the screen recording back, it was stuck on one time. ### 4/5 — 4 1/2 stars *2022-02-25, version 3.0* If this app had all of the things that where money you could make them free because some people can’t afford for the money things and I think that it’s unfair that some people can afford things that other people can’t.!! ### 5/5 — Excellent!! *2021-12-26, version 3.0* Just paid for the upgrade I don’t want or need any of the features that get unlocked… I just wanted to give Nick 89p for an app that I use EVERY night 👌😁👍 Thank you Nick 👍 Actually, if you ever put in an alarm facility then it really WOULD be perfect 👍😁😁 Thanks again for a great little app ### 5/5 — Simple *2021-08-24, version 3.0* Very simple to setup and very flexible with colours and intensity so is Not like a search light keeping you awake at night if you have the phone close. Highly recommended. ### 3/5 — I thought it was an alarm clock… *2021-08-08, version 3.0* Ugh, I was looking for a display like this with an alarm clock. It would be great to have that feature added! I bought this and now really have no use for it. Frustrated. ### 3/5 — Please update for iPhone x to avoid screen burn *2021-03-30, version 3.0* This is a great clock and now iPhone x has an oled display the clock looks amazing but needs to be upgraded to prevent screen burn in. DEV does not respond to support questions and appears to have abandoned support fior a paid app ### 3/5 — Good enough *2021-03-08, version 3.0* I can understand that one should be compensated for the work they have done. I would support this developer. However, perhaps adding an alarm option, or wake to music would enhance this app. $1.39 is not much to ask for an app. But, you should provide something more than just the ability to change colours. Best of luck in future developments. ### 5/5 — Great for Seniors *2021-02-04, version 3.0* I was looking for a clock face for my father who is 83 and has Macular Degeneration. This was perfect. The colors are bold and the font is large enough to make it easy for him to see. It was also very user friendly. Great App! ### 5/5 — A simple and stylish iPhone night time clock app. *2021-02-02, version 3.0* A simple, stylish solution to turning my phone into a clock while I’m in bed. I can refer to at any point in the night without touching my phone. It’s perfect and worth every penny and then some. ### 5/5 — Ok app *2020-11-26, version 3.0* This is a ok app I like it ### 3/5 — Was perfect *2020-11-12, version 3.0* This was perfect but for some reason the top info from your phone (battery level, etc) and now the bottom swipe up bar glow bright white although I’ve chosen a red font. Please fix this!! It is so annoying!! ### 4/5 — Date *2020-10-30, version 3.0* Does not update at midnight. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with Apple iPhone Shortcuts *2021-08-30, version 3.0* Does not work with Apple iPhone Shortcuts. So, cannot be combined with others actions such as turning off lights and starting music. ### 1/5 — Colours *2021-07-20, version 3.0* U shouldn’t have to pay for colours ### 1/5 — Langue *2021-02-18, version 3.0* En anglais seulement ### 1/5 — Changes brightness *2019-08-20, version 3.0* I used to love this, but after an update it started to take my phone off auto brightness, so when I close out the app my screen is stuck at the brightness set by the app. Had to delete. ### 1/5 — What happened??? *2018-11-17, version 3.0* Was a great app. Used it every night. Now NO landscape mode!! ### 1/5 — Abandonware.... *2018-09-24, version 3.0* Would have been nice to have basic alarm functions! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2018-01-23, version 3.0* Used the free version to see if I liked it and it seemed just what I wanted. So tried to upgrade to the ‘premium’ version to unlock the colours and fonts and now it won’t run at all. Opens for a split second then shuts down. Tried all sorts of restarts even deleting the app logging out & back in to App Store nothing works. Hopefully I can get my money refunded. IOS11 iPhone 8+. ### 1/5 — Drains my battery *2017-11-29, version 3.0* iPad Pro 10.5”, plugged in for 1 hour & my battery went from 87% to 80% while this app is running. Uninstalled. ### 1/5 — iPhone X *2017-11-05, version 3.0* Doesn’t work with iPhone X ### 1/5 — No alarm = useless. *2017-10-11, version 3.0* Ya got me night time. I even bought the fonts ASSUMING there would be an alarm function. We all know what happens when you assume. Couldn’t be more embarrassed that I fell for it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Superb. Concise. Exactly right. The time and just the time. *2022-11-12, version 3.0* Apple’s Clock is a Nite Time wannabe. All I want is a screen’s worth of the time. Plug in the iPad while I’m sitting there busy with something else—for there ARE other things—and have the time at a quick glance. Of all the other clock apps whose reviews I’ve seen, Nite Time is thd only one that fits. Check. Just the time, the whole time, and nothing but the time. So help me Nite Time. ((👨‍⚖️)) ### 5/5 — Works very well *2022-07-13, version 3.0* I have used this app for years. I use it on the dimmest setting through the night, and it does not disturb my sleep. I use the iPad clock for an alarm at the same time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
