There are literally hundreds of iPad "clock" apps ... so why make another? Wooden Clock is an homage to a time before clocks were digital and silent - before they became an expected set of numbers on every electronic device in a home or office - a time when things moved at a different, slower pace. The ticking of an old wooden clock is sadly something that many kids and adults have never had the opportunity to appreciate. This app humbly hopes to recreate some of the joy of old wooden clocks for those people and of course to serve as fun nostalgic app for those of us who remember them fondly. FEATURES: - Tells the time in old wooden clock style! - Rich custom clock graphics - One of the only iPad clock apps with a pendulum! - Includes soothing ticking and hourly chime sounds - Country skins use their national anthem for chime - Settings allow user to toggle ticking and chimes - Long or short chime option INCLUDED CLOCKS: - Wooden Clock (the original!) - Tibet Clock - France Clock - Russia - Germany - Sweden (newest!) - More to come as inspiration and time permits! NOTES: - Works best on iPad Air 1 or later but works on older iPads as well.
