ClockApp

Read full description

What is ClockApp? Born from a frustration of how the iOS clock alarm features made it difficult to set alarms, keep track and see all alarms at once. Main features: - Select an Hour, Minute, AM/PM - Then hit the plus/add + to set an alarm - Daily Alarms - All alarms are daily - future versions will allow for users to set on specific days of week - All alarms appear on the clock as lollipop markers which are colour coded for AM/PM - click the marker to edit/delete the alarm - Personalisation: Optional save/edit features include; Alarm Title, Alarm Notes - displayed along with your alarm notification - All alarms are also listed in the Daily Alarms section in the bottom of the app - Several alarm sound to choose from (more to come in future versions) - All data is on your phone - 100% private - your data is your own - no tracking. We are striving for ClockApp to be easy and accessible for everyone. In future versions we hope to incorporate more usability for different kinds of people and scenarios. Important Note: For the best experience using ClockApp - please make sure access to notification settings are enabled and your phone is not set to mute.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: ClockApp at none against Icon Launcher's shown. Icon Launcher's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.2 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
