For accurate time display, please make sure your phone’s clock is in-sync with the timezone that you’re in. * As no third-parties is involved within the process, all data are kept within the app. Made by PPES Developers & Contributors

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: My Digital Clock at 4.7 against Big Clock's 2.3. My Digital Clock also leads on review sentiment (81% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 31 months). Big Clock's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
