ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Household Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PureClock has 44 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of PureClock's written reviews are positive against 0% of Household Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PureClock ships an update fortnightly, Household Clock every 3 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
