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.

Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each Clock widget allows to view 1 to 6 different clocks on the same row. Each clock can display the current time or the one of a specific timezone. The time can be displayed as an analog or a digital clock, with or without the seconds. A text can be associated (to display the town name and time offset). Various parameters can be changed (like the font name and the day or night colors). Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Clock Widget at 3.9 against NormalClock's 1.0. Clock Widget also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). NormalClock's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 40%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

NormalClock costs $0.99 and Clock Widget $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Clock Widget holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock Widget has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of NormalClock's written reviews are positive against 40% of Clock Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NormalClock ships an update every 10 months, Clock Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 7, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
