This was one of my favorite apps when the AppStore first opened in 2008. However, the Japanese author chose not to update it, so he graciously gave me his source and told me to knock myself out. i am pleased to (re)present Cloqworks, a weird little clock with a big heart.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Cloqworks at $0.99 against iDOS 3's $4.99. Cloqworks also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). iDOS 3's advantage is chart position (#61 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
