NormalClock vs AircraftPower S
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
NormalClock
This utility app functions as a basic clock with alarm features. It allows customization of alarm sounds using iPod library tunes and includes a screen burn-in prevention mechanism by slightly shifting the clock's position.
- Customizable alarm sounds
- iPod library integration for alarm tunes
- Screen burn-in prevention
- Alarm on/off functionality
- Alarm time setting

It is a normal clock. There is a shadow on the clock hand. Alarm on/off pushes the icon. The alarm time setting begins the drug from the clock center. Alarm stop pushes the icon. Please push the power supply button after pushing the home button when you erase the screen after the alarm is set. The alarm sound can be set according to an arbitrary number of seconds for an arbitrary iPod library tune. ( The correspondence music file is only AAC(.m4a) and MP3 of 44.1k and stereo file. AAC file is quick.alarm sound is 60 sec. ) Please do not erase the application with the alarm set. The alarm is not stopped. It is by design that the clock position has moved slightly to prevent screen burn-in. However, please note that this does not completely prevent burn-in.
AircraftPower S
This app calculates and displays the performance of numerous Continental and Lycoming aircraft engine models. It offers a graphic display illustrating manual construction methods for determining altitude performance, with adjustable input values and unit preferences.
- Calculates performance for 74 Continental and 107 Lycoming engine models
- Graphic display of engine performance charts
- Illustrates manual altitude performance construction methods
- Adjustable input values for manifold pressure, RPM, altitude, and temperature
- Choice of English or metric units
- Selectable default input values and engine models

AircraftPower S is the iPhone version of my iPad app, AircraftPower. It is is an Aircraft Engine Performance App which uses a standard reciprocating engine performance model to calculate and display the sea level and altitude performance of 74 normally-aspirated Continental® engine models and 107 normally-aspirated Lycoming® engine models. A graphic display shows the engine performance chart and illustrates the manual construction method for determining altitude performance that we learned in ground school (and promptly forgot). As the user changes the input values for manifold pressure (or % rated power), rpm, pressure altitude (or indicated altitude & altimeter setting) and and outside air temperature, the power output and percent power (or manifold pressure required) are displayed, and dotted lines and colored dots in the graphic display follow the manual construction method. While the graphics aren't really necessary, they are instructive (and interesting) to watch. The user may choose english or metric units for altitude, temperature, manifold pressure, altimeter setting and power output (however, the graphic always uses english units), and may select default values for the inputs and the engine. The user can also choose to input the indicated altitude instead of the pressure altitude (the default), and choose to input the % rated power instead of the manifold pressure.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: AircraftPower S at 100% against NormalClock's 50%. AircraftPower S also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and rating (5.0 vs 1.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
AircraftPower S is free to download; NormalClock costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AircraftPower S holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AircraftPower S has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of NormalClock's written reviews are positive against 100% of AircraftPower S's.
NormalClock ships an update every 10 months, AircraftPower S every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
