Now the only issue is that the mute switch kills it. When I go to sleep I’m not always of the right sound of mind to remember to turn that darn thing on. Otherwise I really do like the non-ad version of this clock. ### 3/5 — Used to love the app *2018-07-30, version 1.8.0* This app was great,it’s the only clock that is truly black , not dark grey when in at my bedside. Unfortunately the new changes make both the minuet hand and second hand, very close in size but worse yet, with the clock dimmed, it’s difficult to see the new green hand. I wish there were an option to change the color back to white **Developer response:** Fixed in 1.8.1 Thank you for your review! ### 3/5 — Not bad not great *2015-12-10, version 1.7.8* Its a basic clock. Choose to white or black. It has an alarm but you cant hear what the alarm sounds like before using it you need to set an alarm and have it go off to tell if you like that alarm. ### 3/5 — Unfortunate *2015-10-04, version 1.7.7* This is a beautiful clock app and I would gladly use it as my only nightstand clock with its looks and great dimming feature. The developer has gone over and beyond to help me resolve issues with the alarm feature. Unfortunately, to use the alarm feature, you must leave the volume up all night. My iPad sounds off all night when volume is up. If you can program it to turn the sound on to alarm, it would be perfect. My integrated iPhone alarm will turn my phone on and turn on the volume then sound off. I will still use this for a clock but the alarm is Unfortunate. ### 4/5 — A very nice clock app *2015-07-09, version 1.7.7* The face is well designed, easy to read and looks good in portrait or landscape. It's easy to adjust the brightness by sliding your finger up and down the screen. There is a nice selection of alarm sounds. ### 4/5 — Nice and simple *2014-11-26, version 1.7.4* Alarm sounds are great love, sirtaki, merry Christmas and good morning ones. If there's one complaint I have is that it only supports 1 alarm, please allow me to make/set more alarms. Also is this app iPhone 6 friendly for resolution can't quite tell.. ### 3/5 — Shortcoming *2014-10-09, version 1.7.2* I very much like and enjoy the look of the clock ...BUT!!!!... The alarm will not sound if your phone is in Vibrate. This is a major shortcoming. Other clock alarms do work in vibrate mode so there is no technical reason this cannot be fixed. ### 2/5 — Simple alarm clock *2014-05-28, version 1.7.0* Since new update, cannot adjust alarm clock. Should it be that update should work for better? ### 3/5 — Nice Look, 1 Minute Slow *2014-05-14, version 1.6.1* I got this paid app as a bonus. Great appearance, don't need the alarm feature, but (on my phone at least) the (unsettable) clock is exactly 1 minute slow. Weird. (And yet, in the time it took to write this, now it's "on." Unnerving.) … Well golly, for a while after , the minute hand seemed halfway the current minute mark and the next one. Maybe the marks can't be all that accurate. The quarter hour marks are always right. Maybe I should just say: It's always pretty close. ### 2/5 — great looking, but... *2014-02-11, version 1.6.1* very nice, uncluttered clock. Upon first use today and alarm didn’t work. I overslept, which isn’t nice. I suppose the app doesn’t over ride ‘do not disturb’ settings like other alarm apps. ### 3/5 — Alarm bug *2013-09-16, version 1.6.1* This is a good clock app, except for the alarm -- you can only shut off the alarm by stopping the app. If you restart the app, the alarm resumes. ### 3/5 — Dim *2013-04-10, version 1.5.2* This update removed the ability to dim the screen. Please fix. ### 3/5 — Nice looking, but no music integration *2012-08-18, version 1.5.1* It'll be 5 stars with music integration. I really like the app otherwise. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be my FAVORITE *2018-09-23, version 1.8.1* Hello: I really loved the look of this app, and used it every night as my bedside clock because it was so attractively designed. Please, please consider bringing back the former design from before the last update!! (***Bold lines for each hour, lines instead of dots for minutes, red second hand, date shown; AND I believe in an even older version, the lines also stretched all the way to the edge of the screen, instead of being shaped in any type of circle at all, making it more of a beautiful, designer-looking analogue timepiece.) I would pay for it in the old format. Thank you! 🙏🏼 ### 1/5 — It is suppose to show time. Unreadable! *2018-05-29, version 1.7.9* It stretches over whole screen making clock face unrecognizable. There’s plenty of empty space for numbers, but only 4 are displayed. If you wake at midnight, 3, or 6:00 this is for you. Otherwise you are left to guess. Where you might set an alarm is anybody’s guess. ### 1/5 — N/a *2014-06-02, version 1.7.0* Since update unable to see numbers when u select edit to change time on alarm settings ### 1/5 — Pretty worthless *2013-01-05, version 1.5.1* Looks pretty but not at all useful. Doesn't work if phone is switched to vibrate which is a joke. There are much better alarm clock apps out there that will allow you to put your phone in vibrate mode and also pick your own music for the alarm tone. Don't waste your money on this one. ### 1/5 — No sound *2012-08-28, version 1.5.1* I've been using this app a long time. It was the easiest to use of them all. However, it no longer sounds - comes on but no sound. Fairly limited use at this point ### 1/5 — Worthless as alarm *2012-08-17, version 1.5.1* Downloaded this and used it for my morning alarm the next day. It turns out that the alarm only sounds for a few seconds and then stops, and is never repeated. It failed to wake me in the short time, like it would fail to wake many people, and I slept three hours beyond what I had intended, screwing up my whole day. This app is completely worthless as a wake up alarm and I'm pretty annoyed at myself for trusting an unknown app to work. ### 2/5 — Don’t rely on it *2018-08-24, version 1.8.1* It’s a beautiful analog clock face and a really nice concept. However, as others have noted, alarm will not sound if you have muted your phone. This has happened to me a few times. I’ve fallen asleep with my phone’s volume set to 0, or the mute button engaged; in the morning, no alarm. The app could warn you, even if it can’t -like other good clock apps- override the volume setting. Personally I think it’s worse than this. The app also puts a “wake up” notification on the lock screen. Sometimes I don’t even get that, so I’m wondering if it’s not always the volume thing. I’m starting to suspect that this app just fails randomly. It’s a beautiful clock, just don’t rely on the alarm. ### 2/5 — Alarm does not work when the mute button is on *2017-08-17, version 1.7.9* I always leave my mute button on and have done since I have owned an iPhone. This app will not sound an alarm when it is set to mute. I tested it and while the alarm was supposed to be sounding I turned the mute button off and there it was, an alarm. As it was previously noted by another, the app has very good visuals and is very easy to adjust the brightness with just a swipe of the finger. To me it is useless without the alarm, especially when there are so many others out there that do not have this issue. If fixed then I'm sure I'll use it frequently but till or if it is, sorry. ### 2/5 — Oops- NO SOUND WHEN MUTE BUTTON IS ON! *2017-03-31, version 1.7.9* Developer response appears to indicate they've fixed it in the latest version? All my notifications have been on for this app and others also report this issue. IPhone 6s for me with latest iOS. Found out the hard way that when the mute button is accidentally (or intentionally) on, you won't get your wake-up alarm! Since I may not want to hear my phone ringer but I want to hear an alarm if I set it- this is a MAJOR flaw with an Alarm app!! A couple generous stars for the graphics, but since I expect to be sleeping and hence not looking at the screen, this is gilding the lily. Developer: fix the mute button issue and put the "On/Off" slider and time set on the MAIN SCRREN too, then you've got a winner. Bonus points for adding "one time" "'x' times" and "weekdays" alarm" **Developer response:** Alarm works fine. Allow push notification during installation, please ### 2/5 — Battery waster *2014-11-26, version 1.7.4* iPad was at 100% battery when I set the alarm for the first time. When I woke up, battery was at 8%. The app doesn't work in the background...it uses the battery the whole time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reduced clock face number size *2018-08-02, version 1.8.1* I’ve used this app for more than a year now and have loved it...until the last update when the clock face was updated. What I loved about it was the large clock numbers that I could read without my glasses in the middle of the night. The latest update has shrunk them considerably, with no option to control how I view it. Update: The clock face has been reverted back to the black-and-white with larger numerals, which I love! Thank you for making this update and I’ve updated my review accordingly. **Developer response:** Fixed in 1.8.1 Thank you for your review! ### 5/5 — Beautiful clock. Thank you! *2015-12-10, version 1.7.8* I like clocks, this one looks the best for me. ### 5/5 — Simple, clean...but WAY to bright! *2014-12-15, version 1.7.6* In my original review I stated that if the dimming issue could be solved, I would change my review to 5-stars. There wasn't really anything to solve, there simply needed to be clarification. It states in the description that the clock face is dimmable, yet if failed to clarify that in order to do so, you need to swipe vertically. Now that I know how to dim the face, I gladly change my rating to 5-stars! Original post: This is a simple, clean, alarm clock. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, with no bells and whistles to clutter it up. but there is a BIG problem, at least for me. The clock face is much to bright, and I am talking about the nighttime clock face. Unless you need a nightlight. I like my clock face dim, so when I accessed the control center to dim the numbers, it would not. If this app is re-worked to allow dimming, I will gladly give it a 5-star rating, and it will be my new clock. ### 5/5 — Quick Alarm *2014-11-26, version 1.7.4* Just downloaded it. Alarm works great. Lovely melodies. ### 5/5 — Good *2014-06-07, version 1.7.1* Very good clock app. Only thing I would change is putting my own music as alarm. ### 5/5 — A simple good looking clock *2014-06-04, version 1.7.1* I give it 5 stars it's reliable an even if the app is not running it goes off not late for work with this clock bold num easy to view one of the best alarm clocks in the app store good looking too john ### 5/5 — The perfect clock *2013-09-21, version 1.6.1* To set the alarm press the "i" in the lower right corner. I love your clock. It's perfect for nighttime or daytime. It is the darkest most readable clock in the App Store. All these other clocks light up your room at night like a flare. I have one small request. In the next update can I pick my own alarm music? ### 5/5 — Does what it says, and well *2013-08-21, version 1.6.1* Good basic alarm clock. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2012-01-24, version 1.4.1* I just love this app. I use it as a desktop clock.. ### 5/5 — I love this App!! *2011-07-16, version 1.2* This App works flawlessly. It is visible across the room. And it is an outrageous use of a $600 iPad2!! I'd give it more than 5 stars if It had a few more choices for alarm sounds. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
