ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clock mini holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Big Red Clock has 183 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Clock mini's written reviews are positive against 77% of Big Red Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clock mini ships an update every 5 weeks, Big Red Clock every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
