Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: LockToDo at 93% against MD Clock's 47%. LockToDo also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). MD Clock's advantage is ratings volume (6.6K vs 18) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MD Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MD Clock has 6.6K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 47% of MD Clock's written reviews are positive against 93% of LockToDo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MD Clock ships an update every 11 days, LockToDo every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
