False Advertising
The app pics are not the same as shown prior to purchase
Just no
Im sorry actually no 😤IM NOT thought this would be good it 😡🤯 SUCKS u cant do like anything I thought i saw in app purchases but now I think I saw SCAM😡 bye🐻❄️
No way to set 30 seconds increments
Some of our speakers are given 90 seconds to provide their reply. For a countdown app I had to PAY FOR JUST TO TRY IT OUT, there should be a way To set 30 seconds increments.
Why de membership tho?
hated this app because i swear i don’t understand why everything i tried to do was only for members at this point make me pay to get the app in the first place don’t just tell me i can’t do anything but look at a clock that’s litterly in army time anyways don’t recommend if you plan on saving your money
Not good
I got on the app. It says pay I said no and I tried to set the timer for 15 minutes. It will not let me set a timer for 15 minutes. It said I can set it for 25 minutes only. if you’re a person like me that does not like to pay I do not recommend this app.
Bad app
It makes you almost buy everything just give it for free it’s money hungry
Bad app
Terrible app, does not have an alarm, don’t recommend it
Фу
Всё платно
Not a good app
You have to basically pay for everything in the app doesn’t function well itself.
Had to purchase to try it. Want my money back
I had to purchase to try the alarm options and I don’t like the app. Would like my money back now.
Bad
You have to pay for the customization and it’s hard to use one star I hate this app
Defeats the purpose
This app looked appealing however after using it for a while I had to stop. The reason? Whenever I would wake up in the middle of the night and glance to see the time, there would be a message box blanketing the screen. Yeah, this is not a great app just for this reason!
Struggling to change background and seconds
Can’t find the widget that helps me change it.
I think I just waisted my money
How am I suppose to get on my Home Screen all this trouble and I paid for this
Instructions are NOT in English.

Military time
I was never in the military and can’t read the clock.
No alarm
Clock with no alarm settings! Waste
Worst app ever
I don’t like this app because you have to buy a lot of things, but not everything I mean some of us would like it but like I can’t do a single thing all I do is just watch the papers go down up. I wish you didn’t have to buy stuff like I wish the creator who made this just change it free so then I can do stuff on it.
Paying
1 star cause why I have to pay for everything
Nothing good is free
Simple apps that only modify a built in app should not be allowed.
Why do I have to pay!!!!!!!!!!!
I just need a timer that’s all I Shouldn’t need to pay like 5 dollars
WHY CANT I DELETE IT ????
I cant delete it. Help
WTH
I loved this app until I released u literally have to be a member to get cool stuff. So because it was only 3.99 for a permanent subscription I bought it but I never got my subscription. It still tells me to pay again and become a member after I purchased it. Absolute scam!
Need to pay
So one day I saw this and it look so cool so I was like mommmmm can I have this she said yes I went on it and you hade to pay for everything it makes no sense like you are not going to get money either way like I am not going to spend 3 dollars on a back round so all I did was delete it 🫠🫠🫠🤬😭
Scam
They charged me just for downloading, never authorized the payment, no indication there even was a payment.
Waste
Will not let me restore my premium features I already paid for
It’s Always Sus When…
1. The developer(s) never reply to a single review, positive or negative
2. The pricing makes no sense, as here it’s a Lifetime purchase for $3.99 & a Yearly Subscription for $5.00+ (this fast I forgot the amount lol)
Never pay money, no matter how little, for apps with listings like this.
HEY APPLE APP STORE PEOPLE: You need to pay attention to reviews that tell folks the app is being sold by shady developers. And you need more transparency up in here from the developers you let sell on here. I looked for an alternative to this clock, but found nothing but confusion. I don’t have the freedom to just buy a few different clocks until I find one that works as advertised by the developer. You have featured many apps in Apps of the Day, Stories, etc., that turned out to be just bad apps, or that pulled the bait-and-switch of selling an app for a single, lifetime purchase only to change to a subscription model later.

I hate it>:(
Why do I have to pay money >:(
don’t get this app
poorly designed they must want money for the subscription and even the display I had wouldn’t change with the time.
Trash app
I can’t change the timer or YOU HAVE TO PAY WHAT😡🤬
Didn’t like it
Fake
24 hour display
Why is there no way to get it to display standard time instead of military time?
Типичная «бесплатная» программа
Ага, без рекламы, зато погнали туда запихаем платную подписку и на каждом касании говорить купи купи как мелкий ребенок в магазине игрушек. А погнали
No ads, but…
Most features are unavailable unless you pay $5.49 per year.
The time will get stuck
Happened to me quite a bit the widget would go completely unresponsive
You have to pay for a timer
When I was getting a timer, the first thing that popped out was a subscription list for WhAt!? I could’ve just bought a timer on Amazon Jesus Christ.
Subscription Scam
Just to add a clock widget is a subscription scam!!
Review
WHAT IN THER VBOOTY
WHYY
I hate this app sooo much EVERYTHING IS SUBSCRIBETION
No control
Where can you change from 24 hr to 12 hr?
לא משהו מיוחד
אי אפשר להדליק טיימר לשים את זה ב-Wall Paper וחוץ מהשמן זה לא שימושי ואפילו אין שניות
Stuck on 24hr clock
Cannot switch to 12hr clock.
Mid
I really love all of the features that this app has. But most of them require you to pay money or get a premium membership. I did not pay for the premium so I just got a basic flip clock. If you are willing to pay a fee this would be a great way to set timers and keep track of time
Not enough skins
I dont like the selection of skin that are free
It was good, but then the premium
I like it at first it was really creative. It’s really nice I really liked it but when I kept on asking questions to do premium so expensive for me and like everything is mostly premium and some things need to be free for my opinion, so if you can make any more changes, can you please add some free stuff that people can use it because some people’s parents or if they don’t even want to do it you know so people really want some free stuff you know so I think I should change that part two
Seems cool enough but won’t stay on
The app seems cool enough. I bought for the new landacape mode clock, assuming this would with the AOD feature, which I can’t even get this loaded to be what I see when in landscape mode
Terrible Stage Manager Usage
As a Stage Manager user on my iPad Pro, this app sort of fails to find a real place in my workshop’s toolkit. Working tireless on documents, music, or undertaking my planner project, this app I thought was perfect- a clock I can have a tiny window for.
What’s that? It doesn’t resize with a smaller window? But it even enables resizing like other apps that DO resize their content when you are using Stage Manager? Portrait or Landscape only apps (much like iOS Settings), behave that way, so why does this app falsely make you think Stage Manager is a viable use?
(And yes, I capitalized Stage Manager because I too work as a Stage Manager in the drama business. It’s a real thing.)

Keeps stopping on the widget
Love it otherwise
Trial
You basically can do NOTHING without doing a trial and its honestly really stupid. Like i know you have to make money some how but still at least let us have a stopwatch… :(
seems to be 1-2 seconds late
Why is this clock not synchronized with the iOS clock?
