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.

All perfect designed clocks. Beautiful, simplify, it's about Clock! It will show your location, the current weather information and latest 4 days forecast etc. - Swiss Federal Railways Clock - Girl Clock ... Check it out, I believe you will love it. See what customers said: Best weather clock app in App Store Nice bold clean graphics looks great accurate an I check back with it through out the day love it --by Johnnyp3301 Best Clock App I Have Seen This app is fantastic and exactly what I was looking for for my work desktop. There is even a very nerdy clock face with alternative mathematical notations for the numbers on the face. The only thing it is missing is a digital face but at this point I don't even care. Looks great on my 6+ in landscape mode! --by graphitical It's about Time. This is a very attractive product. Uses little power, lot of different features enabling one to get just the look. It is well worth a look/see. --by cadcts

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Super Clock at Free against Wooden Clock's $2.99. Super Clock also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 16 months) and rating (3.7 vs 3.3). Wooden Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown).
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Super Clock is free to download; Wooden Clock costs $2.99 up front. Super Clock sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Wooden Clock asks for nothing beyond the download.
Super Clock holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Super Clock has 34 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Wooden Clock's written reviews are positive against 71% of Super Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Wooden Clock ships an update every 16 months, Super Clock fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
