I've tried to create a custom time of 10 minutes, but it does not seem to save. Otherwise the options it gives such as 5 min is good. I'll redownload to see if it fixes the problem.
ChessClock does what you need it to but the problem is that if you use more than one finger to hit the timer, it won’t count. You have to use one finger for it to consistently work. If you slap it like you would a regular button, multiple fingers touch at once and it will not always register a click to switch to your opponent. Easy fix on the developer’s end if they see this!
If using only one finger to hit the clock isn’t an issue for you, then this is a great app!
Great app and the price is right. One tweak would make it even better for Tournament Scrabble, which allows 25 minutes per player, then imposed a 10 point penalty for every minute (or fraction) they go over. The option to count up after counting down to 0:00 would be great.
1. Keep the other clock running when one side runs out of time. Double forfeits are possible under USChess rules.
2. Show a progress bar marking the delay time.
Other than that, great product!
I revised this two four stars because it does add an increment - note, NOT a delay - but it adds it back after your move. I believe that is called, “Fischer After”. You cannot change that method. I was looking for a clock that gave a simple delay Before the timer started. So I was befuddled because no matter how I set it, the clock started immediately and time was not added on in the beginning (Fischer Before) as was done with other clocks.
So, yeah, this works. But it would have been nice if the method was better described.
Great clock with a lot of nice features.
One small bug. Once you’ve made a time change in the Edit function of Settings, there’s no option to cancel. There are only two choices. Both options, “
This chess timer app is perfect for almost all situations. They have some pre set options, but they also allow you to customize your clocks for different variations. Easy on use, customize and great on battery life. Perfect easy chess clock for planned or unplanned games!!!
A simple and intuitive user interface that works well. Some nice options for more advanced use. Totally free and no annoying advertisements. Tested on my iPad and iPhone using most recent IOS version.
Thank you developers!
This is what I’ve been looking for. I really didn’t want to spend $25-$30 on a digital chess clock and this serves as a perfect alternative. I tried a couple of time settings (30 min and 15-10 split). It worked as expected. Thanks for ChessClock.!! 👍🏻
This is the best chess clock app ever! Very easy to use and is versatile with its custom time controls. Highly recommend to use this when playing speed chess on a board.
I wanted an app for playing backgammon, and this one fits the bill VERY nicely! Use is intuitive (although it took me a bit to figure how to program delays). Automatic pause feature upon interruption is an obvious nice touch for a clock that is connected to your mobile phone. Manual pause feature works well to manage game interruptions.
Two additions I’d like to see:
1. A useful help/programming guide.
2. Visual countdown of the delay period. As it stands now, clock doesn’t begin counting down until full delay period has expired, then clock displays count down of reserve time consumed.
A great little app for backgammon or chess players. Highly recommended!
What a fantastic timer. Sometimes you find yourself playing real chess but don’t have a clock on hand. This fantastic app has many of the time options of a real check clock.
The button size and readability is very good. The sound effects give it a real visceral feel of hitting a clock! Would be cool to add a vibrate when hit button too.
A great clock, easy to use, easy to reset; enough of a “click” sound to notice but not distract; with clocks being so absurdly priced these days, ChessClock is smart and effective. Cheers. —Mark
It's super easy to make custom time settings on this, and there are no overly complicated buttons, like in other chess clock apps. Definitely recommend.
Thank you for keeping this up to date! It’s my favorite and I will keep using it. It’s great and works well with my games with my friend who isn’t super phone savvy. Perfect!
what a great timer, with a nice theme but we just need more themes like (black&white) theme, this will be more beautiful! pls add some more themes and sounds, we need a alert after a time ends up.
On a budget and aren’t looking to buy a legit clock? This is it.
Simple, easy pre-set clock times on the go.
Highly recommend!
We use this with other games like rumicube to add another dimension to it!!! What a blast!!! We put 5 min on the clock and add 2-5 sec per play to make it a blitz game
Great chess clock, I use it very frequently for Warmachine and Hordes Steamroller timing. Simple to set and up and reliable. A very good app. Still solid after an infrequent update.
Free, easy to use, with the ability to save your favorite time settings with a beautiful interface. I would allow this in even biggest tournaments xD
