Sound turned all the way up … always silent 😡 ### 2/5 — Update *2026-06-10, version 3.1.4* Update the display options ### 4/5 — GREAT FOR HOTEL *2026-06-01, version 3.1.4* Hotels no longer have clocks and radios. I prop my iPhone up between my Kindle and IPad and use this phone app at full brightness for my clock and night light. Haven’t tripped since and always know time without turning on lights to view watch. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2026-05-19, version 3.1.4* Very unintuitive. I’m stuck on a screen with 6 tiny global times and no way to change the screen. I cannot believe I spend$5 on this. ### 5/5 — Excellence in simplicity *2026-05-12, version 3.1.4* This App is one of my favourites because it is genuinely and undeniably simple. That fact, along with the fact that it works perfectly, makes it one of those rare gems; a near 10/10 App. Congratulations - well done 🙌🏼👏🏼☝🏼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Where is my old clock? *2026-08-12, version 3.1.4* After the recent update, I don’t know how to use my clock!

Thank you to whomever made this clock, I am truly grateful. Thank you⏰🕰️⏱️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
