This clock App is meant for all those users who like to get the time in unusual or challenging ways. This App can display the time in many different ways, like for example as decimal time (which was introduced in the French Revolution), as hexedecimal time (the idea goes back to the 19th century), as "Swatch Internet time" and many others. The most challenging clocks are the trigonometry clock and the PT clock, which requires some mathematical or chemical knowledge to interpret the time correctly. This clock is for "Geeks" ;-) The App shows the time in big letters which are easy to read even from the distance. So you can use an (old) iOS device put it on a shelf so it just shows the time. Feel free to make suggestions for other "geeky" clocks I can add in the future...

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Mars Report at Free against TI's $0.99. Mars Report also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). TI's advantage is device support. On review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Mars Report is free to download; TI costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Mars Report holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 3 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of TI's written reviews are positive against 67% of Mars Report's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
