Clockology for Negative User Reviews

Good app, too expensive for iAPUsed this app for exactly 13 month (paid for 1 month and a whole year for the iAP) but once it ran out I missed the features it brought but couldn’t bring myself to pay the almost double iAP now. Stopped using it and if I want to use my Apple Watch like this I have Widgy’s Watchy. Previous review. After a few failed attempts to get this app to work I’m glad I stuck with it. I now spend hours a day downloading watchface from the Facebook group (Clockology Fans BTW) and learning how they work. The designers are amazing and you forget this is an Apple Watch app. Must install and I've paid the subscription I love it so much..Version: 1.4.6

I don’t get it?Happg to update of im wrong, but seems like you have to open the app every time to display a watch face, and after awhile it defaults anyway. Not much point in the app ic you arent actually changing watch faces, you just displaying whats in the app.Version: 2.3.2

Clockology work only for a bitApp that bring the watch face for a few minutes then revert to standard Apple one. If it worked would be great but completely useless.Version: 3.1.6

Edit PROBLEMSAfter updating iPhone to ios15 I can't slide up or down and added weather or second hand etc. This did work nicely and was great.Version: 1.4.6

A real shame as this app is good but…In the FAQ it answers the question “Does Clockology drain my watch battery” and their answer is No. My answer is YES, Without Clockology running my Apple Watch gets down to around 65% daily by the end of the evening and I put it back on to charge. With Clockology app running, it now gets down to 29% before I put it on charge again at the end of the day. So something is not quite right, I don’t have “Always on” as I have Series 3, brightness is also just under midway, so not too bright. It’s a real shame as with this app I finally have my Apple Watch face how I want it with the info I need most. Battery percentage Day, date, month, time And steps/mileage for the day. Seems simple but hard to find this info with the time across the middle of the watch (how a watch should be) May need to delete this app sadly as it does drain the battery too much..Version: 1.4.6

Cannot complete setupThis 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 the app, 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 the app 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 the app on how to troubleshoot problems, all in all a waste of most of my day..Version: 1.4.6

JunkThe watch faces do not show in real-time. They are just animated backgrounds, mostly. There are no useful watch faces. It wasted my time!.Version: 3.1.2

Rubbish!Don’t waste your money as I did!.Version: 3.1.6

No search featureI saw that there was a Back To the Future clock face but I scrolled through every face and couldn't find it. The app is OK, if it wouldn't crash so much. Just barely 3 stars is generous. Not a whole lot to choose from as many of the designs are different colors of the same design and a lot of the designs look almost exactly the same from each face maker. I have a few of the faces and they look ok but I'm noticing battery draining faster with these faces. May not keep the app. The apple faces look so much cleaner and better and have more functionality. This just seems like a "live wallpaper" of sorts with little to no functionality. Wish apple would step up their game and stop adding political faces and start adding some new faces that we ALL want, just just one small select group of people. ** UPDATE ** I went ahead and deleted the app from both the phone and watch. The app crashes way too much and is completely unstable. I have the most recent update on my watch and phone and this app still can't keep the clock face app running. I also changed my star rating to 1 star as that's about as generous I can be for an app that wants your money but is completely unstable and doesn't stay on. The app shows that it is running when I press the side button on the watch but I shouldn't have to do that many times an hour to keep this app running. Too much of a hassle. Thankfully I didn't pay for it..Version: 2.3.6

Hold on before you get carried way in excitement.Fun little App, pretty intuitive, gives you access to multiple designs and the ability to create your own. However, before you get carried away (as I did) and spend hours creating your new custom Corum Admiral’s Cup Trophy face in Illustrator. Pay attention to the “fine print”. Apple is a closed environment, you will need to run the App to display anything that comes from it. Your design or any other from Clockology (and any other similar App) will NOT appear as part of your Apple Watch faces collection. Still, it’s a cool App if you don’t mind that slight caveat. Have fun!.Version: 2.3.6

Subscription issueI subscribe to Clockology+ but I don't want it anymore and I can't cancel the subscription and they already charge me, 3.10 CAD, For this month and I didn't even use it.Version: 1.4.6

Nothing in good shape should be fixedI’m not a graphic designer nor I’m interested in design any watch face. Before the last update I was able to retain in my Apple face watches app the ones obtained from clockology. Now, that is not possible. You have to be bothered closing and opening the clockology app to see in your display for an hour or so. If any message comes you have to start over. Open the clockology app and keeping it running to have a again the face watch. If this is now the point, I must cancel the subscription and be back with my other apps. If there is something Im doing wrong just let me know. Annie.Version: 2.3.4

Bring back clock1Would be 5 stars if not for the most recent update where they forced all clocks to change to clock2. This is fine but they dropped support to clock 1 and you have to manually edit every clock1 clock you have. Why did they have to make the change it was fine as it was.Version: 2.3.1

Constant crashes but has potentialConstantly crashes just as your finishing off your design and it’s not saved when going back into the app. Wasted an hour of my time trying 3 times and it crashed every time before I got a chance to save the clock face I had designed..Version: 1.3.1

AppCan’t even get the app on to my watch.Version: 1.3.1

Doesn’t workI’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..Version: 1.4.6

Promet beaucoup...24h de fun, puis retour à la réalité... impossible de garder les fonds plus de quelques secondes, logiciel fastidieux dans son interface et les manipulations, même si pas trop compliqué à utiliser. le site du développeur est plus que minimaliste, aucun accès à son compte pour modifier son abonnement, pas de support, bref et à contre-coeur, je ne recommande pas ce produit, même si encore une fois la promesse était intéressante..Version: 1.4.7

Update ruined itIt was good when it worked.Version: 2.2.4

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿It dosen't sync to the watch。.Version: 1.2.5

DisappointedThat's an apple watch app instead of watchface, :-(.Version: 1.4.6

Needs updating badlyDon’t get me wrong this App has access to tons of great, amazing watch faces, especially through the Telegram community. However, two stars because it has a stupid subscription requirement rather than options to try and buy individual faces. No one needs to have another monthly expense these days. Also the App is outdated… All the other Watch face apps I’ve tried let you add the Face direct to Apple Watch App so it can be on all the time. Unfortunately the Clockology Apps only run through the App so the Face goes dark and the watch just shows the basic time, and even if you adjust your setting they will go off completely and revert to an stock watch face after an hour if you don’t keep checking your watch. If they would update so the Faces can be directly installed and scrap the subscription fees for individual purchase options then this would be a 5 star App..Version: 2.3.4

Just an app over the others and not an actually watch face.Because you cannot make the screen to be always on, from my point of view, the app is useless. You need to shake the hand or to tap the screen every single 5 seconds. Not impressed!.Version: 1.4.6

Absolute rubbishDoes not work, very fidgety and tried multiple times.Version: 2.2.5

CrapThis app sucks. Don’t use it..Version: 2.2.4

OkOk app. It’s just an app that shows the watch face but you can’t interact with anything. It’s like a live wallpaper in a way. To people who say it’s not showing weather in Canada or weather in general, you have to pay for that….Version: 2.3.4

Cannot find the face advertisedCannot find the face advertised.Version: 2.5.1

Not impressedI can’t get the app to sync to my watch even tho I’ve followed the YouTube etc. I’d like to give it no stars but that’s not an option!!.Version: 1.4.3

ProblemDoesn’t transfer faces.Version: 1.4.6

Hard to export to watchHard to export to watch app … clunky.Version: 3.1.6

Weather not operatingWeather dont sync.Version: 1.2.4

Sync issuesI’m having a sync issues with this in my watch ultra 2.. I tried some troubleshoot but nothing works. Requested a refund..Version: 3.1.5

Bad appVery bad app, cannot open .clk files, while importing suddenly quit. 1 star.Version: 1.1

Watch faces don’t syncHow do I sync the watch faces. When I tap sync, it just turns grey and stays like that.Version: 1.4.2

Not installing on Apple Watch UltraDisappointed, clock face not installing on my Apple Watch, false advertising.Version: 2.2.8

It’s ok but battery usage is crazy.Took a while to get the sync working, there are loads of excellent watch faces from the fb group. However, no matter what anyone says, the battery drain using this app is so bad it’s not worth it. I have a S6 and I’ve tried every battery saving tip. Battery is a problem anyway on AW so I would not recommend this unless you’re happy to top your watch battery up far more often..Version: 1.4.6

BugPlease fix bug not have Sync button in version 1.4.3..Version: 1.4.3

Confusing to use, no way to contact developers to ask for questions.Social media pages are filled with people who’ve created beautiful watchfaces for their Apple Watches using Clockology. While the app seems interesting, there’s zero guidance on on the Dev’s FAQ on how to get these onto your watch. The Watch app asks the user to enable full screen on the clocks on your device (assuming this is your phone?) but there is no option in the iPhone app to enable full screen. Trying to reach the developer to clarify resulted in a dead end as they don’t provide such info..Version: 1.2.4

Icon not showing properly..Am I the only one having the issue of the clockology complication icon not appearing correctly on all my native apple watch faces?? On my home faces where the icons are bigger, the clockology complication only appears like a “Y” in a circle - not as the whole clock. All my apps are up to date and so is my watch (7 series 45mm) and phone. I don’t understand why it’s been like this for the past few MONTHS. Just to be clear - I’m not talking about the watch faces made in clockology, I’m referring to the watch faces added straight from the Apple Watch app..Version: 3.1.6

App keeps crashing :(Otherwise I would absolutely love this app.Version: 1.4.6

Not workingDoesn’t work, it can my watch and I send a face to it and nothing. Waste of money.Version: 2.3.0

App is fiddle and finickyIt takes a lot of force closing, uninstalling, restarting device and reinstalling to get the app working. As well as needing an extra file that should come with the app but stupidly doesn’t..Version: 1.4.6

Stay awayDoes not work.Version: 2.3.8

Nice Idea but if you want to cancel you should be able to.It’s great to have more options for Apple Watch faces. However the app was not that easy to use for me. I finally downloaded one watch face. But then found out that the app is needed to display the app. 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 the app 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 this app?.Version: 1.4.6

BRING BACK SOUNDSPlease bring back sounds - being able to set hourly beeps made these watch faces stand out from the pack..Version: 2.2.2

MrUpgrade 2 does not work with series 3 iwatch.Version: 2.0.1

Great AppHave been using it for a few months now and it’s great for what it is but the App has disappeared from my AW3 and I can’t reinstall from the Watch. Also the App has had some changes on the phone. All confusing. However I have realised that my watch has to be minimum watch iOS 9.x.x and for my AW3 there is no such thing which means I can’t use the app anymore. Surely there must be an old version available for those who haven’t the latest watches? I’ve tried contacting Clockology directly for an answer but their website doesn’t allow for it. Goodbye clockology, subscription cancelled. It was great fun. Best wishes.Version: 2.5.2

Doesn’t workI don’t get what this app does? I can’t transfer any watch faces to my app. Unclear exactly what to do. 0 stars if I could but I can’t..Version: 1.4.6

UnusableI find the app confusing and was not able to download a watch face onto my series 8 watch. Found this totally useless at this time and requested a refund..Version: 2.5.1

Did not WorkSo I ended up deleting this. It never worked and ending up being a waste of time for me. Even after trying many different tutorials on google and YouTube & Reddit. Nothing worked so sadly I am going to pass on this..Version: 1.4.6

This is a scamDon’t be fooled, this is a complete scam. Don’t download or bother wasting time..Version: 1.4.6

Major BugLike the app but it won’t work right. It keeps saying health authorization prompted. I tried everything to get it to ask for permission again but nothing changes it. Tried clearing data, restarting phone, deleting and reinstalling app. When I click manage it just takes me to the health app. So this is pretty much useless because it won’t show anything but time on the faces. I followed the faq section if you read my review. Nothing worked as far as getting the app to reask for permissions. So the faq section doesn’t cover it. As stated earlier Deleting and reinstalling the app doesn’t ask for permission again it remains on authorization prompted..Version: 2.3.1

RubbishTerrible. Followed all the videos and steps. Doesn't work at all. Don’t waste your time.Version: 1.4.6

Won’t stay on after updateSince they released 2.0 the Clockology clock faces won’t stay on. As soon as the screen goes off the watch goes straight back to the apple default. I’ve followed their instructions and tried reinstalling the app and restarted the watch. Worked fine before 2.0.Version: 2.1.2

Not sure about thisFor the free download I seem to have 25 watch faces adding but adding my own or ones I’ve downloaded, even with the beta patch don’t seem to work on watch 7. Not sure if you need the paid + version.Version: 1.4.6

Version 2.0 Ruined the App!I recently downloaded Clockology about a week ago and it made me excited to use my Apple Watch. The customizations were phenomenal and synced seamlessly on my Apple Watch series 3! But that excitement was short lived, because two days ago came update 2.0 that took the app’s perfect function into disarray. I had 30 Watch faces, that had to be re-downloaded, but once re-downloaded it imported the layers incorrectly and shifted it’s position. This means that once perfect watch faces now look like Pablo Picasso created them. Besides that I tried syncing the faces to the Watch and all of my faces weren’t fitting the screen. I tried some of the pre-made ones and those used less of the screen then the ones I downloaded. And don’t get me started on editing the watchfaces, they removed the undo button, and what’s worse is that even if I shift my misaligned layers into it’s proper place, it still doesn’t sync to fit my watch screen. Overall the update is disastrous and there are other shortcomings that I haven’t even mentioned, such as re-downloading a watch face takes a couple minutes to show up on the app, etc..Version: 2.0.1

Watchos8 AOD supportWhere is aod support? My watch always shows that grey blurred overlay with the digital time.. would really love a fix for this..Version: 1.4.6

Stopped workingPaid for the service only for it to stop working after a few days. I have only one watch face. Cannot sync with any others. I have done everything like I did before for it to sync. Nothing. It is not worth paying for a service that does not allow you to use the entire time. I am happy with the face I have but, would of like to try others..Version: 1.4.6

Battery drain and no real functionalityThis app is pointless. It kills the touch functionality. It's like a working clock picture on your fan. Touch the face it does nothing. The Facebook page is even worse. The Admin are awful. They allow very suggestive watch faces and stuff with the confederate flag on it. I always felt bullied on the page and wasn't treated kindly. The page is mostly people too lazy to figure out how to make faces so they constantly ask that and the same 2 or 3 technical questions over and over. The way you download faces is terrible. The battery drain alone makes the app worthless. Doesn't work with new ios beta. Avoid the app. You'll be glad you did..Version: 1.4.6

Sadly it doesn’t work anymoreShame because it looked awesome! But if you look around on Reddit and on goggle there’s lots of folks with issues but with no resolution..Version: 1.2.4

Ne fonctionne pasCette apps ne fonctionne pas, l’écran ne reste pas et disparaît pour revenir à mon ancienne écran. Très décevant..Version: 2.5.3

Cool watch facesThe faces are cool and many but still cannot get the weather and days of week to show up. I’ve tried everything in the FAQ to no avail. Hope this gets fixed..Version: 2.3.8

Notifications noted workingSince the ios 10 update, you can't interact or view the motivation asking you receive them..PLEASE FIX.Version: 3.1.6

Doesn’t WorkI’ve been through all the videos online to tell you how to get faces synced, problem is the Sync option is missing, installed app on the watch, tried rebooting, no sync option when holding down on any face. Waste of time, good job I didn’t subscribe. IOS 15.1.1 Watch 8.1.Version: 1.4.6

Beta download doesn’t work and app has the worst user exp ever extremely convolutedTrash app, doesn’t even work, the beta sync option doesn’t pop up, I cannot download anything from the Facebook place because of this rendering the useless app… usless. Fix your app make it user friendly but until then I’ll keep it rated a 1, if I could give it a 0 I would but I don’t even think that’s possible but that’s how much of a letdown this app is.Version: 2.5.1

C’est du n’importe quoi ?Cela fait 1 hr que je tourne en rond avec des vidéo YouTube impossible d’installer des cadrans. C’est beaucoup trop compliqué pour simplement ajouter un cadran. Pas optimal. J’ai dépenser 2$ pour rien alors je ne recommande pas..Version: 1.4.3

Won’t work on earlier Apple Watches.Last year, it worked great with my series one apple watch. I don’t need all the fancy upgrades that come with the newer watches and mine still works great. Sadly, I now have to revert back to the dull watch faces that apple provides. I can’t even revert back to an older version of clockology so that it works with my apple watch. I’m also not going to spend $200 to get a new watch just so i can use my subscription with this app. Sad to be leaving and sad to be joining back to the dull apple watch faces. Seems clockology is taking on the “we will slow things down so you have to buy the new product” that apple admitted to doing a few years ago. Sad..Version: 2.3.8

FrustratingSeems as though I am constantly having to update or change something to use this..Version: 1.4.6

ScamUne apps pitoyable, je n’ai jamais réussi à mettre des cadrans sur ma montre S5 avec IPhone XS . En plus incapable d’annuler l’abonnement au mois . Tennez-vous loin de cette application..Version: 1.4

Angle selection for hands doesn’t work.I’m not able to get the minute hand to point at correct time when making a custom face. When adjusting angle it shows change while I tap the plus/minus but then it jumps back. Im a new user I just downloaded and got subscription today. I’m assuming the angle adjustment is to align minute/hour hands to correct position. Seems to be glitching for me. I really hope your team can get this corrected!.Version: 1.4.6

Worst AppI can’t even get the watch face to my apple watch there needs to be a guide on series 3 so trash app.Version: 1.4.2

Don’t know how to transfer facesHow do I transfer faces to my watch. People keep telling me to press a lightning bolt that doesn’t exist. I’ve been through all the settings and watched all the videos but the lightning bolt everyone else has I don’t. I even paid the year sub..Version: 1.4.6

Not as it seemsDisappointed as this app is not an actual watch face and you have to continuously go back the the app to view.Version: 3.1.6

Somehow you made it worseYou made it so all the thousands of faces that I purchased or made myself don’t work. Then you took away the interface so I could select through all the faces I’ve made. You remove the option for always on or staying alive feature. But somehow you just made it worse with this newest update. How is that possible unless you’re attempting to do this. You would have to intentionally remove all these features and make it more useless you couldn’t do that by accident..Version: 2.3.6

Kept glitching outEvery time I went to make a digital clock the app would just force close :|.Version: 1.4.6

Buggy, nonfunctionalThis is an excellent idea and has potential, however, I could not get the app to work. When I would try to design a watch face, I would get about 10 minutes in and the app 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..Version: 1.2.1

Feedback to dev team?Is this the only way to contact you? Seems odd. Paid the subscription hoping for more tools but none were forthcoming. I design analogue watch faces, I wanted to see more “hands” I want a rectangular hand, all you offer is rounded. I want to produce a “tail” or “overhang” from the back end of the hand protruding beyond the central pinion. I want to be able to put shapes or icons on the hands. Please get these options on the workplace for us to use. Thanks. Then the upgrade might be worth paying for..Version: 3.1.4

HelpCan’t get my app to sync to my watch.Version: 2.3.3

It doesn’t work (for me at least)Tried everything and I can’t get the faces downloaded on the phone to show up on the watch. There isn’t even a sync option on long -press like I’ve seen on other videos… Tried to restart both devices, re-download faces and nothing. At this point I just gave up - it either doesn’t work or it’s too complicated and involves downloading extra software that is not listed on the app store. I’m sorry to give it one star, but as long as it doesn’t work out of the box, it’s a broken product..Version: 1.4.6

Love it, but crashes and now won’t workGreat app. Finally found a ay to make nice looking custom faces for my watch. However, after a day or two of use the watch app now crashes and I cannot sync faces/use the app on the watch. This happened after I had paid the monthly subscription and then cancelled as a test of features. I can still create faces on the phone..Version: 3.1.6

Not user friendlyNot user friendly.Version: 1.4.6

Love the faces, hate that the app doesn’t workI’ve had to reload clockology so many times and it STILL get stuck on sync watch face. I don’t know why it does that. And now, I can load the beta file, and that’s it. I’ve erased the app from my phone and watch, reloaded them again, and nothing syncs. Not impressed. This app needs to be easier to work and be less buggy..Version: 1.2.5

Wasted 10 mins to understandThe app doesn’t even show an option to open it as my watch in the watch and comes as like a lock screen.Version: 1.1.2

Doesn’t workI tried to get it to work. Couldn’t load any faces. I asked for help on the offical Clockology Fans Facebook site and the response was to delete me and block me. Why ? I suspect something sinister with this app. It should be banned from Apple devices..Version: 1.2

Issue detracts from an otherwise good appSeems ok but Weather widget/connector simply doesn’t work, don’t know what else fails but could be good otherwise..Version: 2.1.2

MalwareDrained my battery immediately and almost bricked my phone..Version: 1.4.6

Not easy to useNot very intuitive to use. Doesn’t seem to transfer to my Apple Watch very easily. Too much of a faff. Would be good if straightforward, but unfortunately in my time with it, straightforward it isn’t..Version: 3.1.5

Nice but flawedFirst off there are some lovely watch faces on the app and also made by others online and they do look very nice. Sadly you have to look at your watch every hour to keep them on your watch face. This is something that you shouldn’t in my opinion have to do. Other apps watch faces stay on so there is no reason why this one shouldn’t. Would not recommend or buy again..Version: 3.1.6

.Not what I was expecting I thought the app would come with a selection of watch faces to download to my watch or a facility to share created watch faces with other people but it comes with nothing, I have to pay a subscription to create my own watch faces, no thanks..Version: 1.4.5

Does not change your watch faceThis app is another scam app. It just put a picture on your watch. Apple does not support customer watch faces..Version: 2.5.1
