ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart Digital & Analog Clock holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FaceClock Analogue has 369 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of FaceClock Analogue's written reviews are positive against 63% of Smart Digital & Analog Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FaceClock Analogue ships an update every 5 weeks, Smart Digital & Analog Clock every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
