ClockPhone - big digital clock Reviews

So, I love this thing to death. I use shortcuts to auto activate and recommend it to everybody I meet. But I use my phone as an alarm as well (as I’m sure most people with ClockPhone do as too). It can be annoying to be half asleep trying to swipe up that little notification to make it snooze or stop. So, I recommend a full alarm system. I want to be clear, not a half-baked, just one alarm and noise, but an actual, full on, Apple alarm clock replacement. And if possible the ability to select the regular Apple ringtones as well (I’ve trained myself to only wake up with the dog one, as I was 11 when I did with my dad’s old hand-me-down). I know this may be some work, but I would pay more for this feature honestly.

I’m really enjoying ClockPhone a lot. It’s simple but sophisticated. It’s really worth the $2 to buy it. And I had a small problem that turns out had nothing to do with ClockPhone , but the developer wrote me after I submitted feedback and showed me how to build an automation to do what I wanted. They sent screenshots and clear instructions. Really great!!!
Also for the person who wanted to dim their screen for their nightstand? I used an apple shortcut/automation that dims my screen to 10% and shows this clock whenever on charger. I created another that when I take it off charge, it brightens to 50% and shows the weather. It’s great!

Overall, I truly enjoyed this widget. It’s a great option for have any large clock on your home screen.
The biggest problem I have with a switch it is that it is not as voiceover friendly as it could be. Voiceover will not read any time at all.
Though the date, month, and the first two letters of the day are read, it could be better. If this is the first thing on your home screen, it will just read the Number of the date aloud. I would much prefer it to say the month and date at the same time. Simply switching the month to before the date would be better. Also, it won’t read what the day is. It only says the first two letters of the day which are displayed.

ClockPhone stands out when compared to the other offering’s out there. With a clean, uncomplicated interface, just the options that are needed, and a reasonable price, it’s the best. Nice work!

The only thing I would like to see is an option to display the current outside temperature via one of the weather services (like Open Weather). And of course, automatically running when the phone is charging, but that can’t happen with Apple’s strict system access controls (come one Apple, give us some access!).

I use ClockPhone as the clock beside my bed, running on an old iPhone. The large numbers are easy to read at night, the background is very black, and I like the fact that you can adjust the brightness with your finger. The customizations are well worth the upgrade price. (One small note: The release notes for the most recent version say that when the leading digit is hidden, the remaining digit will self-center. This does not happen on my iPhone 12 or iPhone X, and in fact, hiding the first digit hides not just the 0, but the 1 as well. I hope a future update fixes this, but I still love ClockPhone !)

I’m using this on an old phone as a nightstand clock and I have no complaints. I do have a couple of suggestions, but those would simply make this a 6-star review. It would be great to have the option to dim the display on a timer; during the day I use full brightness but at night full dim and having that adjust automatically would be great. Also, being able to snooze and turn off the alarm directly from the clock face would be appreciated. Thanks.

I’ve tried quite a few iPhone clocks (really, why doesn’t everyone use an app like this when they travel?). But this is clearly the most usable. The feature I appreciate the most is the modulation of the brightness (I put it down to 5%) which I didn’t find to work so smoothly on similar apps. In fact it was incredibly frustrating to modulate them whereas this works seamlessly. The developer even promptly answered a question that I asked . This is how all apps should be.

Once I got an email from support telling me they resolved the issue I updated and ClockPhone is working as it should. I like that I can change the colors and make the brightness go really dim so the light is not too bright. All others I have tried blind me. Overall it’s a great little clock.

ClockPhone (I have the paid version) suddenly will not open and keeps crashing. I’ve reinstalled and reset phone and it still did not fix the problem. No longer opens for me.

This is by far one of the best clock apps I’ve ever used.

The first one? Too much information—more than I need. Alarms and timers? I don’t need those, I have the default clock app on my phone.

But this one? No excess features. Easily customizable. No ads littering the screen. Just a simple clock app that you can use for your nightstand.

There’s only one thing. The payment thing usually pops up 1-2 times, when I first open ClockPhone and when I first view the settings. If I try fine-tuning, it will also pop up. I think it should pop up only when I try to use fine-tuning.

(Just an extra thing, I saw someone saying that the “no leading zero” option didn’t stay off. That’s because you need to buy the full version to have the fine-tuning settings always activated)

How do you slick it up and make it completely unusable at the same time? It decided to go to 24 hour time on its own and I cannot make any sense of the operating instructions to change that. As you try to look at where you need to navigate to to fix this, you’ll either be closed out of that menu because it times out in a second or it’ll be making other changes like turning on a flashlight or something silly. Why was any of this necessary? I paid for ClockPhone and now have to delete it and find a new one. Stop changing things! Look at what you change from the perspective of a person who is not into anything other than basic functions. You ruined it.

Every time I open ClockPhone , it will automatically close instantly. For a split second I would see ClockPhone open and it would try to set the clock up on the screen but then ClockPhone would crash and instantly close me out of it. I thought it was my phone at first so I restarted it and I turned off my wifi just to try it and it still had this continuous problem. I used to use ClockPhone all the time but tonight when I went to set it up, it started doing this. I suppose it’s the new update on it. Or maybe it’s my phone, I have an iPhone 11, but I’m not to sure on this problem. All I know is I have to download a different app now. I hope this problem gets worked out.

It’s been years since I’ve started looking for just a nice clock for my phone that I can just put up while getting ready or I can refer to in places where time isn’t readily displayed, and coming across this was just joy to for me! There have been some iterations over the years but this is by far the most elegant and most beautiful clock I’ve come across! Kudos to the devs behind this and I thank you for the great work you do! 🙏

I started using this app several months ago. The developer obviously took time to consider several factors to design what is a rather elegant and pleasing look and operation. This is an aesthetically beautiful product! I’m glad to have purchased the upgrade (only a $1, folks!). I enjoy experimenting with color and style changes through the seasons. I’m very pleased and will enjoy continuing to use this app on my iPad and iPhone!

I love the free version of this clock face. I was looking for a large clock that I could read at night without my glasses, which didn’t illuminate the whole room. After downloading several other apps that were way to bright, I found this one! The white numbers on a black background is perfect especially turning down the screen. I might buy ClockPhone to check out some of the other features.

I never ever write reviews, but made an exception for this app!
This is absolutely my favorite clock app ever!! It’s not loaded down with unnecessary bells and whistles. (your phones default clock app should have you covered on those; alarms, timers etc.) It’s simple, clear and bright.(unless of course you use the included dimmer) It has just enough customizable features to make it your own. It’s the last clock app I’ll ever need to download. I give it 5 stars!!

ClockPhone looks great and for most people it probably works fine. It has one big problem though. If you travel it does not automatically change to match the phone time. Oddly when you turn it to landscape and get the big view, that time has changed. It is only the widget on the home screen that does not change in real time. Still don’t see a way to manually change it. Have to wait for it to catch up with itself. Have seen it take as much as 4 hours.

I use ClockPhone everyday on my office desk and it has been exactly what I wanted.
However, after the last update (1.5) it crashes on launch every time and I can’t get it to work. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling and rebooting my phone (iPhone XS), but nothing has worked. Hopefully the developer will fix this in the next update.

This clock app is great, with the exception of one minor annoying flaw. When you have the clock on, even at the phone’s dimmest setting, and you get a text, or email notification, the notification is at the phone’s brightest level. This is very frustrating. I have the brightness on the phone turned all the way down and the brightness on ClockPhone turned down, and I still get super bright notifications. This is keeping me from giving ClockPhone 5 stars.

After a very minor issue with ClockPhone crashing, the Developer was extremely responsive with a successful fix to my issue.
ClockPhone is an amazing addition to my iPhone, as I have it set as a shortcut. When I sit my phone on a charger, ClockPhone opens providing me with access to a clock utility when I’m not holding my phone!
Thanks for the integrity!

I love ClockPhone for my iPhone. ClockPhone helps me see the time quickly and easily. But I do wish there are seconds reading on my Home Screen widget. And also go directly to apple’s clock app and calendar app when I need to setup alarms or add events to my calendar. Great app, but always room for improvements. Thank you.

I needed to have a large clock visible when doing broadcast feeds so I could monitor top-of-the-hour posts. While ClockPhone did everything I wanted for free, I still paid the buck just to support the developer, and even the unlocked features make the tiny purchase worth it.

Use this clock on the go to time feeding while nursing! No longer annoyed that I’m not near a clock or don’t have any hands free to unlock my phone to see how long baby has been eating. Looks great too!

Pros
- Simplistic design
- Customizations
- Price

Cons
- On iPad, the small icon to change it to full screen is always displayed on ClockPhone . Can we move this icon/option to settings instead? The icon is annoying and takes away simplistic design.

- Since the cost of buying ClockPhone is specified as in-app purchase, when ClockPhone is shared with the family members, it forces every family member to pay. But the issue is that other family members are neither able to purchase because ClockPhone shows the option to purchase as not available nor they are able to use ClockPhone as part of family purchase.

When you fix these 2 issues, then I will be glad to update the ratings to 5 stars.

I am enjoying using ClockPhone. Reminds me of ones we used in the 90’s. Only problem is the leading 0 won’t stay turned off. A nice touch for the future would be the clock automatically coming on when phone is charging.

I am legally blind, so a lot of clock apps are hard to see from a distance. This is really easy to see and I can make out the numbers when I’m far away from it. I love ClockPhone!!!!!!!

I want to say, first & foremost that this has to be one of the best clock apps I have ever used! I absolutely ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ LOVE it! The ONLY complaint I have is there is no alarm. I would love to see what kind of alarm you guys would come up with. You are so creative! The

One of the only clocks without distracting ads on the face. I use it for homework and get distracted by bright ads. I do wish you could make it static for the AM/PM part though

This is a great clock! Very simple design which makes it look clean and modern. The gestures are simple and move smoothly. Highly recommend if you need to display the time!

I was planning to buy a big lighter clock to see the time during the night, but with ClockPhone I saved money, it’s just perfect.

Finally! A clock I can see! A simple clock with big numbers and smooth animations. Lots of colors to choose from. Highly recommended!

I downloaded this app and it was amazing! My favorite part of this app is that ClockPhone has a digital clock that can change colors every 5 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, 10 mins, 1h, 12hs, and 1 day.

Very clean elegant display. Lots of options to customize the look and function. All around strong effort.

I just needed it for a clock and kinda like a night light but the dumb in app purchase thing keeps popping up every five seconds but I need it to be a clock but it is useless if the thing keeps popping up

Plz fix
