Woo hoo! ### 5/5 — Zenderful! Try it! *2019-02-05, version 1.0.4* Couldn’t be simpler or more retro elegant. Portrait and landscape mode by tilting works GR8. #RECOMMENDED Tested 2 wks, iPhone 8, iOS 11& 12 ### 5/5 — Basic app, no downsides *2018-10-15, version 1.0.4* If you like Nixie tubes, get this app. It is only 6 Mb, and it’s free, so there is literally no downside to owning (even if you never use it). The design is simple and beautiful. Nice app! ### 5/5 — Beautiful but ... *2018-06-07, version 1.0.4* It’s absolutely amazing but if you can please very very please make my dream come true of making it possible to apear on our phones lock screen clock like that it would be very very amazing and epic indeed ! Oh please ! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-10-25, version 1.0.4* Cant believe this is free, get it! ### 5/5 — Simply Brilliant!!! *2017-10-12, version 1.0.4* The best Nixie clock app on the AppStore. Well done dev! I love your work! ### 5/5 — Great little app *2017-07-05, version 1.0.4* I love the old tube clocks. This app is the closest thing on IOS to the real thing. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app but... *2016-01-02, version 1.0.4* The recently added flicker effect is pretty annoying. Could that be made into an option? Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Black screen! *2023-11-18, version 2.1.1* Do not work on iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.1.1) ### 1/5 — Kultig, aber Akkukiller *2020-02-19, version 2.0* Mal keine Werbeschleuder. Ruiniert aber wie die anderen Clock Apps den Batteriezustand. ### 1/5 — Ruined in this day and age. *2017-11-19, version 1.0.4* Just updated to newest version, running on iPhone 8+ on iOS 11.1.1 and the numbers don’t fit on the screen making it unreadable. ### 3/5 — Horizontal??? *2023-01-02, version 2.1.1* How to get horizontal display as shown in App Store? Rotation doesn’t do it. ### 3/5 — Nice looking clock, but *2016-01-09, version 1.0.4* Tapping the screen does not change layout as is instructed, i am using iPad air 2 which is fully updated, will download again once fixed. ### 3/5 — Nice but could be better *2015-10-02, version 1.0.3* Would be so much better if you could disable the seconds display. ### 4/5 — Simple stylish clock app *2024-03-12, version 2.1.1* Neat, simple, curious, classy. ### 4/5 — Add Alarm pretty please *2019-10-15, version 2.0* LOVE the look and simplicity. PLEASE add an alarm feature so we can use this as an alarm clock! ### 4/5 — Nice clock *2017-12-01, version 1.0.4* After my trusty weathered old school James Bond style Nixie tube clock app passed over to “no more updates land!” I sought its new app reincarnation, but to no luck so far... Yet, this app is really nice. Not a James Bond golden dotted tick tick tick Nixie tube timer/clock with several cool modes, but this clock is hauntingly divergent from your contemporary beigeblah wallymart plastic box nightstand clock bluegreen neon/misty glow LEDs. In the dark this clock seems mechanico-demonic with its ever burning coal digits in a distant other worldly darkness. 4⭐️s only because it’s not the same as my old app. ### 4/5 — Nice Nixie Clock *2017-11-18, version 1.0.4* An option to remove the seconds digits would make it a much nicer and less busy bedside clock. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still great after all these years *2026-07-16, version 2.1.1* A simple app that looks great. I still use it even though standby mode also exists. Still works on iOS 26. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2025-09-28, version 2.1.1* Thanks All I needed was a clock with clear seconds so I can sync my 100 year old grandfather clock every other week, and I got some cool tubes in the process. When I went looking on the App Store, I was shocked at the number of apps that wanted payment. I would have built my own App. So thanks Nixie, for making a great free clock App ! ### 5/5 — Does what it says on the front of the box *2024-03-12, version 2.1.1* Simple clock. No ads. No subscriptions. Exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — top *2023-10-01, version 2.1.1* Beautiful design. A feature to hide seconds would be nice for my use, but cool and clean app. ### 5/5 — Simple yet elegant solution *2022-08-13, version 2.1.1* After 52 years of faithful service, my clock radio finally died. After I was unable to find a reasonable replacement, I started tapping the screen of my charging iPhone in the overnight hours to see what time it was. I ran across this app while searching for something to constantly display the time on my iPhone during the overnight hours, while it was charging. Using a charging stand that holds the phone at about a 60° angle all I have to do each night is start this app, turn down the screen brightness to minimum and place the phone on its charging stand. I have been using this app for about 2 years and have found it to be the perfect replacement for my defunct old clock radio. ### 5/5 — Beautifully Simple *2022-03-05, version 2.1.1* Less is more. Beautiful and clean yet evokes the beauty of the the actual Nixie tube. The one thing that would make it perfect is if the display of seconds were an optional feature. ### 5/5 — Fantastic Clock App! *2021-01-23, version 2.1.1* The app as described, is easy to use. It is just like the Nixie Tube clock I have and absolutely love using the app! ### 5/5 — Best Desk Clock *2020-11-15, version 2.1* Best desktop clock there is. Super clean with no ads. Runs very smoothly and makes great use of screen real estate. Only improvements I can suggest would be to add an option to show the Date and an option to hide the Seconds. 5 stars even without those functions. Great work! ### 5/5 — I like it very much. Can I make a widget and use it on ios14? *2020-10-07, version 2.1* I like it very much. Can I make a widget and use it on ios14? ### 5/5 — Great clock ... *2020-09-27, version 2.1* Super simple just like it's advertised . The one thing I would like is for it to be completely full screen ... that way the white bar at the bottom of the screen used to switch apps would be hidden. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
