Clockology Reviews

by Leftyclick

This is an excellent idea and has potential, however, I could not get Clockology to work. When I would try to design a watch face, I would get about 10 minutes in and Clockology would crash, losing all my work. I started saving after each change, which was a pain that I was going to try to live with. However, I could never get the watch faces to transfer to my Apple Watch. I tried and tried and could not figure it out. On the watch, it would only say to “open clocks on your device and enable full screen”, and I never found that option on my Watch nor my iPhone. I spent about an hour researching online and watching videos on how to get it to work, and still no luck. I honestly cannot recommend an app so buggy and difficult to use.

This seems like a really good idea and seems and honestly fills a void that apple left but… I cannot get it to work. I have watched videos, I have adjusted settings, I have deleted and re-downloaded Clockology , nothing works. I believe that I need to allow access but there’s no way to do it, the settings do not exist under settings and the only info provided for that is to delete and re-download to prompt the acceptance of the data syncing /location services, this does not resolve the issue and I can’t get past that. When I launch Clockology or complication from my watch it gives me a message that I can use as remote. I am a tech savvy person and especially so when it comes to Apple and yet I cannot get this to work for the life of me. A shame really because I downloaded a couple of really awesome faces from the Facebook group but any info I can dig up does not resolve my issue. Also zero info in Clockology on how to troubleshoot problems, all in all a waste of most of my day.

I’ve tried and tried. I give up. It won’t allow me to save my faces, nor allow me to customize the way I want. It’s supposed to be user friendly, but it’s more difficult to use than anything I’ve come across yet. I’m canceling my subscription and requesting a refund. Just doesn’t work for me. At all. This is just my review. Maybe someone else will have more luck with it, but I just don’t see myself paying monthly for something that’s never worked for me nor will I use because it doesn’t work.

I have the iPhone 11 fully updated and the Apple Watch 5 series fully updated. Just doesn’t work.

It’s great to have more options for Apple Watch faces. However Clockology was not that easy to use for me. I finally downloaded one watch face. But then found out that Clockology is needed to display Clockology . It’s not downloaded on to the watch.
I tried to cancel the monthly subscription but can I find the option to cancel. I can uninstall Clockology however I am not going to keep getting charged $2 a month for a service I don’t want to have anymore. Why can’t you cancel Clockology?

First and foremost, Clockology really is amazing. They have tapped into the place every Apple Watch owner wanted: customized faces.

The downside is is very confusing getting it working and (for me) requires joining the Facebook group.

The design feature is OK. This definitely needs an overhaul to make it easier to work with. The design features are subpar. I would definitely pay a subscription service for more/better options.

Clockology itself is confusing as how to navigate and set it all up. Like others said, once you get it all figured out it’s second nature but shouldn’t be that way.

Overall, once you get it all down, Clockology is really actually awesome and the watch faces you can design are up to you and your own creativity. I’m looking forward to see how it evolves.

Let’s be honest here. The stock faces Apple gives us are boring and don’t take full advantage of the capabilities of the Apple Watch. this app aims to remedy this and does it relatively well. The only reason why I didn’t give Clockology five stars is because it’s not the easiest app to get working properly and downloading new faces for it requires you to download them from Facebook groups. People who aren’t tech savvy may try Clockology and give up in frustration when it doesn’t work right away. However, once it’s working, it’s a game changer. My Series 3 now has faces that look premium and fill the entire display (a feature reserved for the more expensive models). It doesn’t negatively affect battery life either. By all rights, there’s no good reason (for us anyway) why Apple couldn’t support custom faces out of the box. While not without its flaws, this app does a good job addressing Apple’s shortcomings.

Like the title reads, great concept, but because Apple has the final say as to what you can or can’t do with your Apple products, and so to no fault of the developers of this ingenious idea to personalize our Apple watches, something Apple should allow us to do, there is limitations to Clockology. Only a few items can be added to the design watch face. I must say that the designers made some really beautiful watch faces.

If you don’t care about having all the bells and whistles on your watch face then you need to get this. There is so much amazing work that was done to give you not only a beautiful looking watch face, but an expensive as well, and you will see what I mean when you get Clockology. Great job!

This is overall a good app but a little quirky though once you get past that, it’s good. There is one question I would like an answer to: Most of the clock face designers create a space for the weather including conditions and temperatures. These displays are almost always spot on. The temp is accurate and even the weather condition. However, for location, it only reflects the city representing time time zone the wearer is in. So if someone is in San Diego, it will reflect “Los Angeles”. If one is in Kyoto, Japan, it will reflect “Tokyo”. I find this useless as it does not reflect actual location. The designers tell me this is a limitation of this app. If the watch faces can reflect/display actual weather conditions, then it is able to pick up real-time information from either detecting the GPS location, or getting it from Apple Watch. Is there any way you can update Clockology do it can allow displaying actual location? That would make it a 5-Star app. Thank you.

I was one of the original Beta Testers for Clockology, and I can tell you that the Facebook this app Fans group is a must-have to get the most satisfaction from Clockology . You will find 100+ user created watch faces available for free download. If you can imagine it, it’s probably a search away, or a request away. Clockology is truly the one Apple dropped the ball on. Today, I’m wearing a Ferrari face, tomorrow maybe a Rolex, or Hublot, or how about a Seiko or old school Casio! So many choices, or I can create my own within Clockology . If you’re tired of the limited faces Apple gives you, then unlock the limitless possibilities with this app today!

I love how easy it is to use this watch face app! The versatility and ability to create and select watch faces to match my mood, and coordinate with my outfits is pretty cool! Also, I enjoy creating and using other watch faces by some incredible fellow designers.

For the newbie, Clockology is easy to use even if a few attempts are needed to get comfortable with Clockology , which is the case for 99% of apps out there.

As an avid user, I gotta say—IGNORE all the negative reviews that seem to have suddenly and recently appear in a “bought” naysayers sequence of sketchy, vague reviews?! 🤔

Give this app a shot, and fellow users, if you agree, post a review. ✌🏼

This is by far one of the best if not the best face makers for the Apple Watch on Clockology Store. Feature request! Allow images to be put in for the Pie Chart instead of a solid color. That way we can have images be revealed from underneath an image. Also a clipping mask function would be excellent as well!

by Dertyaqua

I’m 50 and not super good with apps so was thinking this would be a waste for me. I was very wrong. Once you download a couple of faces and synch them to the watch, it becomes second nature and has really made me appreciate my watch. I now find myself looking for different colors and styles of bands to match the incredible faces that are available.
Couldn’t be happier.

by NeilSHarris

I have been using this app since the beta version in March 2019. Mike Hill, the developer has made the best app ever. Not only can you easily make faces but totally customize them with weather, health, etc.
Clockology MAKES MY APPLE WATCH AS PERSONAL AS I WANT IT. I remember the dark days before I found Clockology, they were terrible. Clockology is constantly getting better and better. The latest update now lets you import you own fonts!!

This is great app to try custom watch faces.. so simple and really amazing..
Here is the way to do..
... install this app app in both Watch and Iphone..
... open apps in Watch and IPhone together.
... select any WatchFace and sync with Watch..
... now you will see selected watchface in this app app..
... as you will press crown in Apple Watch this app app will be closed..

... so alternativly in Apple Watch: Settings -> General -> Return to Clock -> (set After 1 hour).

this above action will keep Clockology lunched on the screen.. with no battery impact..

... Note.. the best way to take advantage of this app Watchfaces is ... enable "Always Screen on" in ..for that Apple Watch Setting->Display and Brightness -> Always On (on)..

Just wanted to be the first to congratulate you on your impending acquisition by Apple. I'm sure they haven't reached out yet. but when they see how well done Clockology is, the capabilities, and the community support for it, they will surely swoop in, right you a check with a lot of zeros, and finally integrate custom watch faces into WatchOS. Buy everyone on the team actual luxury watches and drink a bottle of the good stuff. You are almost officially rich!

by AlanLaBudde

It would seem my review has disappeared what it was I don’t remember....I just thought it be nice if I was told where and how I could sell watch faces and where and how I could possibly be renumerated for ideas leading to software improvements?I guess everything supposed to be for free sharing? which /could be? is a big lie.... at the least I would like to sell people photos suitable for a watch faces that are original and not from Google

by BigChuckMeister

I built a comple watch face last night and ended up deleting it trying to figure out how to save it so I can transfer it to my watch.

I thought maybe I was too sleepy and couldn’t figure it out so I built the watch face all over again this morning and still can’t figure out how to save it.

I don’t want to have to start over again so I’m stuck. Once I figure that out ... this will be the greatest thing since the invention of the iPod.

Clockology is amazing! You can "set" custom watch faces. It's technically an app that remains open but it doesn't affect battery life in my case and you can still sync in activies. No complications, tho but that is just a very minimal complain and it doesn't take from this being a 5 star app. I don't know if Apple will take this down, but if you're reading this, I suggest you download it now.

I've gotten watch faces ranging from Rolex to Fallout's PipBoy to Apple's own Meridian and California watch faces on my Series 3!

by Mein Fuher

Hey I'm new to Clockology I've had it for about two days and learned pretty much all of it, I've made a couple custom faces already but I was wondering if like the "video" feature, in the future we might be able to have custom sounds as I see they can be activated by touch just not customized such as adding our own mp3 files. I also would like to see the "battery hand" feature be a little more easy to understand as of right now I'm a bit lost on how it works but over AMAZING app and great job on making it.

by Bud212002

Yes, the title says it all. I saw Clockology and what it could do. I joined the facebook page and went to B. B. The bext day to buy an Apple watch. I dont really use the watch for more than time telling, but with Clockology, ohhhh it does that so beautifully! Dont listen to negative reviews. If you have a problem, join the facebook page “this app fans” and we will help you get it going

by Lightninbug

The stock time still shows on this app watch faces.. in the top right hand corner. Any way to turn this off?

by Shydude2u

like the idea but i wish i could take out apples small digital time that shows on the top right also Clockology crashed while i was making a face and lost a bunch of progress cause it wasn't auto saved. also when changing the hex number for colors, the text box is blocked by the keyboard
