Fliqlo® is a pioneering flip clock app, recreating the mechanical, vintage feel of flip clocks with a simple, minimalist design. The macOS version has been popular for over 20 years as a screensaver module with a design that has remained unchanged since its first release in 2002, and this iOS/iPadOS version has the exact same design. The highly visible font and large display make it easy to see the time even from a distance. The understated monotone matte black finish won’t distract you or hinder your productivity during extended use in your daily life or at work. When displayed in full screen, it blends seamlessly into the device and your living space, like a minimalist piece of interior decor. This is why photos of the app are often shared on social media as part of a room’s interior, rather than just screenshots. FEATURES: - Switchable between 12/24 hour display - Switchable between portrait and landscape mode - Option to display seconds when tapping the screen - Dimmable - Flaps can be displayed/hidden - Display size can be reduced - Sleep Timer to activate the device’s auto-lock settings after a certain time NOTES: - This app does not start automatically like macOS screensaver. - This clock cannot replace your device’s Lock Screen or StandBy mode. - Your device’s auto-lock is disabled while this clock is active in the foreground.

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fliqlo at 4.8 against Big Day's 4.2. Fliqlo also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 58). Big Day's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (62% vs 48%). On price, ads, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fliqlo holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fliqlo has 2.3K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Big Day's written reviews are positive against 48% of Fliqlo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Big Day ships an update every 6 months, Fliqlo monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
