Clock for Windows

Clock is a powerful, flexible and beautiful clock tool that combines world clock, alarm, stopwatch, timer and day counter in one application. With all the basic features you’d expect from a clock tool, Clock additionally provides you with a clean and user-friendly interface that adapts to your device theme, and you can use it with your tablet or PC very easily. Adding to that some exclusive features and one largest city database in the Windows store for world clocks, at least one city by country, by country time zone, or by country for countries like USA, Canada and Australia. Clock also integrates Cortana with a wide range of voice commands, allowing you to use the app with your voice. The entire list of voice commands can be found inside the application.

Features

• Stylistics. Analog clock in the Clock application is presented both completely familiar (white background, black hands), and extremely experimental. As an option – with a substrate in the form of uploaded images (including photographs) and in the form of a wristwatch with dials shifted to the center. Regardless of the choice of design, animations never change – the arrows still move in the given direction and do not rush to disrupt the flow of time.
• Updates. Updates are rare. Moreover, both those related to technical patches, and dedicated to new content. Neither settings nor templates with design have been added for a long time. It’s a pity – the developers from Egert immediately after the release earned love from the fans, and then, for unknown reasons, they abandoned everything.
• Content. In addition to the section with parameters, templates and a “Favorites” catalog are provided, where manually prepared blanks are added. Other materials, like background images, will have to be loaded separately.
• Versions and Access. You can download Clock from Egert only on the Android mobile operating system: there are no third-party options – for PC or iOS – available. And the situation is unlikely to change in the near future: widgets are unlikely to be useful to competitors.

The chosen distribution model is Freemium. Access to all functionality is provided free of charge, with the exception of the ad blocker. Banners and pop-up images will haunt anyone who has not paid 379 rubles. Whether the price is justified – hardly. You can endure ad integrations in Settings in a matter of minutes, and then the widget will begin to serve faithfully on your desktop.

An impressive array of benefits is diluted with technical implementation challenges. And it’s not about the settings or the design, but about the Clock’s operation in the widget mode: the program turns off the visibility of the analog clock on the screen at an unknown frequency, and then, after 30-50 minutes, starts displaying it again. Why this happens is unknown, but as a temporary remedy for problems, they are: blocking the saving of battery power (selected in the settings) and displaying on the desktop not a standard image, but live wallpaper. Oddly enough, but with a 99% probability, the widget will stop disappearing for unknown reasons, and then reappearing.
