The only thing is majority of the different things you have to pay for, which is kind of annoying. ### 4/5 — Falta ejecución en segundo plano o pantalla bloqueada *2026-05-12, version 4.13.5* Buena app, me gustaría poderla ver mientras el celular está bloqueado o que se visualizará en segundo plano ### 3/5 — My problem : *2026-05-10, version 4.13.5* many people say this is a terrible app, it’s not the case. This app has a lot to offer but so little. With the potential to be a great flip clock app, at this moment it isn’t. I love the fact you can use a stop watch and a flip clock, but I don’t love how there’s only 3 colours, white, black, and white & black. and the rest you have to pay for ; it’s ridiculous ; you can how the seconds, time format, date format, and if you buy PRO you can use hourly, and a custom time. You can mute, and change the brightness. Over all still a good app I guess. But would not prefer to buy this app, but overall a 3/5. ### 4/5 — 定时时间不能自定义 *2026-05-01, version 4.13.5* 唯一缺点吧，很简洁，没有广告，翻页声音和提示音都很好用 ### 2/5 — Great but *2026-04-15, version 4.13.4* This is an amazing app for studying but sometimes when I study it just resets which I find very annoying and frustrating but overall it’s pretty good ### 4/5 — Öneririm. *2026-02-25, version 4.12.1* Bence çok güzel bir uygulama fakat atıyorum stopwatch açıkken başka bir uygulamaya girdiğinizde sıfırlıyor bu özellik hariç bence iyi. ### 3/5 — ok *2026-02-23, version 4.12.1* ok ### 3/5 — Bien *2026-02-14, version 4.12.1* Trop de choses payente ### 4/5 — Very good if you want something simple *2026-01-29* I just downloaded this app today and have already used it a ton. I am an freshman in high school who really struggles with procrastination, and this helped a bunch! I sat down and worked for 25 min straight and then it gave me a five minute break, which I spent on my phone, then it continued. I would totally recommend for anyone who needs something really simple to help them focus (plus its visually aesthetic). The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because you have to upgrade to pro to have the timer run in the background of other apps. But, so far I haven’t gotten any adds for subscribing to pro (we all know how annoying those are). So, my opinion, if your a procrastinator and just need something simple and effective, get this! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 4/5 — Mehr Zeitoptionen *2026-01-28, version 4.11.1* Ich finde die App super! Vorallem zum lernen ist sie echt praktisch. Was ich aber nicht so gut finde, ist dass wenn man aus der App raus geht, dass der Timer aufhört. Ich fände auch noch schön, wenn es mehr Zeitoptionen wie z.B noch 15 Minuten und nicht nur 25, 45 und 60 Minuten geben würde. ### 4/5 — Aspect ratio issues *2026-01-23* Wish it could fix the issue where when i do multitask window form on my iPad, it cuts off text or when i tap it, i cant exit the menu unless i resize the app window again. i would also like to put a background picture for the app **Developer response:** plz send the snapshot of issues to my email ### 2/5 — Horizontal display *2026-01-11, version 4.11.1* Why I can’t get horizontal display any more? ### 3/5 — Premium *2026-01-05, version 4.11.1* In dieser App ist nicht so viel umsonst möglich, da vieles premium ist. ### 5/5 — Hikiiokkk o9lkkkkk9ooo’lookookjhhnjjk *2026-01-02, version 4.11.1* He,hmjmjj ### 4/5 — 년도 표시 좀 해주세요 *2025-12-16, version 4.10.3* 기본 테마 쓰고 있는데 기본이어도 디자인이 너무 예쁩니다. 다만 날짜에 몇 년도인지도 포함해서 25/12/17 wed 이렇게 표시됐으면 좋겠어요! 최대한 빨리 부탁드립니다 크리스마스 카운트다운 하고 샆어요 ㅜ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-09, version 4.13.5* Confusing and not for free ### 1/5 — Pointless *2026-03-24, version 4.13.0* Unless I’m doing it wrong, I need this clock to show the time without having to tap the widget ### 1/5 — Stop asking for a review *2026-02-17, version 4.12.1* What’s the point in trying to use this app as a pomodoro timer if it keeps stopping the timer to ask for a review? I even got premium because I thought it would reduce the interruptions. Instead, I have to manually restart the timer every time because it continually begs for a review. So here you go, here’s your review. ### 1/5 — 横向きにならない *2026-02-05, version 4.11.1* 縦向きロックを解除して横向きにしても縦表示のままで残念 ### 1/5 — Viel zu kompliziert *2026-01-05, version 4.11.1* Beim Versuch der Installation wurde ich praktisch gezwungen, die Pro Version zu nehmen.

Contexto : No la recomiendo ### 1/5 — Run in background *2025-07-26* This is not fair that we have to upgrade to the premium feature to allow this app to play in the background it should be free. ### 1/5 — weird *2025-03-01, version 4.8.4* weird that it cant remember its timer if i went home or press any other app 😅 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Zen Flip Clock *2026-07-19, version 4.14.1* Minimal Timer ### 5/5 — Awesomesause *2026-04-12, version 4.13.4* I think this app is super helpful and I use it for TikTok trends and other things and overall just a fun app! ### 5/5 — Suggest *2026-03-26, version 4.13.1* Dont reset the timer when I accidentally out of app ### 5/5 — Zen flip Clock *2026-02-17, version 4.12.1* J’adore l’application ! ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-02-09, version 4.12.0* Nn ### 5/5 — İyi *2026-02-01, version 4.11.1* iyi 👍 ### 5/5 — Sehr Cool !!! *2026-01-22, version 4.11.1* Vor allen Dingen nur Einmalkauf, hier gibt es kein hintervotziges Halsabschneider Abo !!! ### 5/5 — Beğendim *2026-01-22, version 4.11.1* Uygulama aşırı iyi sadece Pomodoro yapmakla kalmıyorsunuz aynı zamanda test çözerken kendiniz süre tutup ne kadar kadar ilerleme kaydettiğinize bakabiliyorsunuz ### 5/5 — Güzel *2026-01-14, version 4.11.1* Güzel uygulama gayet ama pomodoro taktığı dışında başka bir şekilde yapabilseydi örneğin istediğimiz süreyi ayarlayabilseydik daha güzel olurdu ### 5/5 — Sadece sıfırlıyor uygulamadan çıkınca *2026-01-07, version 4.11.1* Sadece uygulamadan çıkına üremi sıfırlıyor sıfırlamasa mükemmel bir uyulam --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
