### 5/5 — Great App, But Sound’s Missing!

*2026-03-20*

This is the perfect clock app, and sounds would make it even better! :D

### 5/5 — Cannot understand the purpose of the auto lock button on the sweep section

*2026-01-02, version 3.5.1*

So what does this button do ? It doesn’t appear to do anything in relation to the second sweep hand. I tried various faces and nothing !
Other than the annoyance of not understanding the purpose of this, I love the app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Clock

*2025-11-02*

Elegant and precise clock with multiple adjustments. Easy to use and beautiful to look at.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-07-27*

I love it - somewhat configurable in the free version, but works flawlessly.  Good for setting my watch to exact time.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2025-04-25*

Have this on my iPhone 16 Pro and it works great.  Picked it up many years ago and have had it since.  Favorite faces are leather and luminous.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-04-19, version 3.5.1*

Nhffkoufd

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-04-07*

Doesn’t stay on

### 4/5 — Trés joli

*2025-03-14*

Magnifique, dommage que l’on ne puisse pas le mettre en écran verrouillé. Un peu plus de skins ce serait cool également !

### 1/5 — No alarm setting?

*2025-02-09, version 3.5.1*

From what I can see, this is just a simple clock with no alarm settings. That pretty useless

### 3/5 — インデックス非表示
