Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Flip clock & clock widget at none against Flip Clock's shown. Flip clock & clock widget also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flip clock & clock widget holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flip Clock has 69K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Flip Clock's written reviews are positive against 69% of Flip clock & clock widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flip Clock ships an update every 3 weeks, Flip clock & clock widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
