### 5/5 — The best…

*2025-09-06*

The app works fine all the time not just for a few days like most of them I have uses. I noticed something the developer forgot so I contacted him and he corrected it right away. Very responsive for a developer on the AppStore. 10++++++++++ for the developer and the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the great suggestion and the kind review!

### 4/5 — Njjjjjjkjkjjkkkkjjkkkkkkiokkkkiiiiiiiii

### 5/5 — Latest update

*2024-11-08*

Excellent! Matthew responded quickly to my request for a Black background vs a Dark Gray background. Nice. This now fits in with the other instruments at the Observation Station during Night Mode. It helps protect our night vision. Updated my Rating from four stars to FIVE stars.
Thank you Sir.
As a Bonus, no spyware is included!

**Developer response:** Once again, thanks for the great suggestion!  I'm glad you're enjoying the app!

Excellent! Matthew responded quickly to my request for a Black background vs a Dark Gray background. Nice. This now fits in with the other instruments at the Observation Station during Night Mode. It helps protect our night vision. Updated my Rating from four stars to FIVE stars.
Thank you Sir.

**Developer response:** Great suggestion!  Thank you.  I have updated it so that when color is for foreground and gradients are off, the background is black as opposed to dark gray.  The update is available for download now on the App Store.  Could you please give it a try and if you like it maybe update your rating/review?

### 4/5 — Good

*2024-10-18*

I do wish black background was actually BLACK! It is dark gray when using a color foreground. Only gives a true black background if you use white foreground. Other clock Apps don’t have this issue.
Still, it is a good clock App!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-11-02*

Love it

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Best clock app for nightstand!

*2022-10-25*

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!  You’re welcome.
