Inaccurate
Clock is not accurate. Can be as much as half an hour off!
No Seconds for Digital Clocks
Unfortunately, there seems no setting to display seconds for a digital clock.
One of the best apps if you need to coordinate across timezones.
Has a simple one click meeting coordination that auto copy/pastes the time in every selected location. Worth it simply for that feature!
Does not track time accurately
After giving them money I kick myself
Both the Mac and the iPhone app and widget do not track time and or several minutes off!!!
Do not purchase.
It should work on install but has major glitches and doesn’t keep in sync with OS time or city time.
Why????!!!!
It’s just the time not weather conditions.
It’s like it’s not refreshing in background.
Trying to contact developers and get money back and the Apple if they refuse. It might be a money scam.
Will report back here if not resolved in 24 hours.

Love this app!
The Clock has all of the features I was looking for in a world clock - and THEN SOME! I can keep track of multiple time zones that I do business in and quickly schedule worldwide meetings! Having a built-in break-timer is icing on the cake! Some features take a momen or two to locate - my only minor gripe - but once learned, I LIKE how everything works and is organized! I feel the same way about the OS-X app and will post these same comments there! NICE WORK by Fabrice Leyne! Buy it!

Why didn’t I know about this before?
Just found out about this app today. Got it for my iPad, iPhone and Mac. One word. Perfection. Absolutely perfect when dealing across multiple geo’s. Just wish I knew about this before.
Well worth the $$’s.

Great App, but the UI in dark mode is not optimized
I think the app is properly good. However, in dark mode, the app isn’t well optimized.
Great App
Great app. Allows planning like no other I’ve seen. I work overseas and now have a fine tool to use in reviewing planning for the areas of the world I work with.
One bug that need attention: when using analog clocks as I do, the upper half of the top clock is chopped off. It doesn’t matter if the calendar is showing or not. Minor annoyance and four stars.

The finest among many
You have many choices for world clocks. You will not make a better choice than this one.
That’s all. :)

Shows time; needs tweaking
Good app for comparing time zones, but the UI functionality isn't intuitive and doesn't match iOS practices.
One specific unintuitive part is when you delete a time zone. After deleting, there no clear way to "finish" the process, or simply press "Done" like across most iOS actions. Instead you have to press settings and the delete icon again which isn't intuitive and awkward.

Great App. Needs a Help System
I have loved this app on MacOS for years. And I love its iOS implementation as much, or more.
Pros
. Great capability to plan multi-time zone meetings. By a simple scrolling motion, you can change the contemplated time of meeting in every zone and see whether the time is within business hours, whether it is light out (with a beautifully sunshine map), and what day it is.
. It has a built-in Pomodoro timer, barely mentioned, that helps you focus for blocks of time, then take a break. This replaces another standalone app for me.
. It can connect with the built-in calendar to show you what’s on the docket, and help you plan meetings.
. It has colorblind accessibility settings. I’m one of the 5% of men who is colorblind, so I appreciate this.
Cons
. The app is new on iOS and complex, and there is no help system I can find.
. Some approaches could benefit from a little home brew user experience research. For example, the develop could just ask an inexperienced friend “Hey Ms New User, looking at this app, how would you delete a time zone clock?” and then just sit back and watch that friend struggle to figure out what most people find intuitive, and then implement that. My guess is that some, maybe most, would first touch the clock they want to delete. They might press it harder. They might try to swipe it up, down, sideways to see if it exposed a delete/rename/whatever option bar. None such things happen. You have to click the ... at the bottom, and then press the garbage can. Normally users expect the garbage can to be something you click after you select the item to be deleted, but this reverses the sequence we are most used to. Cognitive dissonance. There are tons of little idiosyncrasies like this.
. There are minor cosmetic bugs, like the configuration that says “set the bottom right area of clocks” which changes the top left area. :)
This app costs $7. I like this app on the Mac. I like it enough on iOS to give the developer the benefit of the doubt. Both the Mac and the iOS app are sufficiently innovative and useful to pay for, assuming these idiosyncrasies get fixed. If they don’t, that would be a shame, because many people will not benefit from it due to counterintuitive user experience and the lack of a help system.
All that being said, I give it a 5.

Response from developer
Hi Dan, Thanks for your feedback. I'm acknowledging your comments and will use them to improve The Clock in future update. Regarding the help page, it is coming soon. You can access it from the settings, Help. But the help document is not yet updated for the iOS version. Regarding the bottom right, yes it needs to be updated (more dynamic) as the position of the complication is different in full screen iPad mode and split screen mode as the views are different. Regarding the Double Click on iPad, I'm surprised. It should be Double Tap (strings for macOS and iOS are different). Could you contact me by email for further analysis. Further more when you double tap you should be sent to the events list of the day. Do not hesitate to contact me by email for further investigation. Regards, Fabrice
Joy
When an app is a joy to use - it should be shared. The Clock (iOS and osX) is worth the investment both in $ and in the time to learn use all the features. The help menu is linked and easy to use. I was 100% up on the app in :10, and I’m from the technology challenged Bboomer gen.
Besides the well crafted tutorial, the other element that makes it eady to learn to use well, and really useful, is the match of features between mac and ios / something who’s importance becomes very obvious after a few days.
My MOKU stand for my iPhone X, the Windy app, and this app makes using technology more of a joy.

The Clock
Excellent clock app with easy setup and simple view of timed in different cities around the world
So great it's now available on iOS!
Been using this on my Mac for years and now it's finally on iOS! Scheduling meetings around the world is now even easier on the go on my phone instead of waiting to get back to my computer to use the Mac app.
Perfect
I regularly talk to friends and businesses in different time zones. I’ve used and loved the Mac version of this app, and the iOS version is just as good, and fits in perfectly with the modern look of IOS12 on my iPhone X.
