Classic Clock free (Background Alarm + Weather) App Reviews

This app does not: - play the song I selected for my alarm, but pick some random default tune for whatever reason - work if the iphone is switched to silent mode, meaning it only shows a pop up message displaying alarm, but plays no music with it (however, the standard app clock works perfectly fine and also plays music if the iphone is switched to silent mode) Summary: I paid for the full version ... Must say it was a waste (maybe the @support team gets back to me one day ...)

I just bought this app cause I wanted to see the clock WITH the weather. Unfortunately only the clock is showing. I paid 1,99€ for seeing the clock but wanted the weather too. Fix this!!!

This Free version does not have location services, hence it does not have local weather. It constantly says it is 22 degrees and cloudy on my screen. If you look under Settings, there is no Location option for this Free version. World clock is good. Ads are not that interfering.

Is missing the capital of Alberta but has Calgary, and only has F temp. Im not American I like C.

Everythings perfect except that it needs landscape support, especially for the main LCD clock.

On this I never miss work anymore and on this it got world clock, timer, stopwatch. On world clock it says the weather e.g in Miami Florida now it is 21c and sunny and cloudy 8:02 AM. I JUST LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

It is the clock I am looking for on the iPad. I have one on my iPhone, but was disappointed that iPad doesnt have a default one. Here I am. :)

Tested out the music as an alarm, it worked. Then when the actual alarm came it didnt wake me up. With further testing the app did nothing more than a simple push notification and two vibrations. No sound at all. Seem like this app needs some work.

I just farted HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA oh no i poo

Tested out by setting to music (theres no vibrate option). First time, the alarm went off vibrating twice then turning off automatically. Second time, song played properly. Third time, again, went off vibrating twice then turned off automatically. This alarm does not seem to be reliable, unfortunately.

My local temperature in Toronto (and in other cities) on the alarm clock page is always showing 23 c. If this is corrected the software rocks. June 1 2013: The 3 day weather forecast for the selected Cities has stopped working i.e. the weather forecast windows are blank making the classic clock less useful on my iPad. It was working but suddenly it stopped!

I tried to use this app to time a discourse I was delivering, while recording it to use as a self-critique later. When the timer is started, or in the foreground, the voice memo stops recording. I tried to report this to the technical support page, but I could not find where to submit it on the developer website.

Who the hell downloads a clock

Why in Minsk Belarus GMT +2 if must be GMT +3 now Weather not localized

Valido Belli i fusi orari del mondo Complimenti

Cool!!! But, it needs add different location for ur hometown, plus, I need a flashlng light alert for the deaf to use it for the iPad/iPodtouch.......

Missing quite a few major locations for setting the clock compared to basically the same exact app that comes with the iPad.

As soon as I found my way around my new iPad 2, and discovered that the Clock app from my iPod Touch was missing, I went searching through the iTunes Store. "Classic Clock free" (hereafter CCf) pretty faithfully replicates all the features of the Apple iOS-for-iPhone "Clock" app. The trade-off for the free app is discreet AdMob ads just below the title bar. They occupy a band across the screen about 1/2 inch tall. In the alarm clock mode they disappear after a bit, if Auto Hide Menu is turned on. In the world clock, timer, and stop watch modes they continuously cycle through. The screen shots in the iTunes Store description fail to show them. Why I give it only 4 stars: Ian J., reviewing the paid version (Classic Clock 1.3.1), correctly complained that when the alarm goes off, and you touch to silence it, CCf swaps in, replacing whatever app you happen to be using. With fast app-switching available, this would usually be no big deal for most apps. After CCf has swapped in, you have to touch Stop again to lock it down, or it sounds again in about a minute. That is admittedly irritating. And, if iPod is playing on your iPad when you launch CCf (or it swaps in while you are trying to silence it), your music or podcast is suspended. You have to complete your business with CCf, swap to iPod, and touch to resume the music or podcast. Other features: Weather: It shows a current conditions symbol + temperature, available only with the World Clock mode, contrary to the screen shots in the iTunes Store. The screen shots also show a verbal description of conditions, next to the temperature in World Clock mode. Again, that is missing in CCf. (The settings panel for the alarm clock has a “Show Weather” switch, but it has no effect.) You add time zones to the World Clock by typing in the names of prominent cities. The available list is long but not exhaustive. Missing: Providence, RI; Tampa, FL; San Jose, CA; Pretoria, South Africa; Tel Aviv, Israel; Glasgow, Scotland… I assembled 22 cities on the display (4 3/4 visible at one time), while looking for missing ones. It is hard to see in the screen shots, but the time zone abbreviation is shown above and to the right of the time. Custom color for LCD: When you select Alarm, you get an alarm clock with LCD display. You can select from 4 predefined colors, or define your own with red, green, and blue sliders. iPod music alarms: You can choose a song from your iPod music library to sound at the alarm time. It will play the first minute of the song and then repeat for I-don’t-know-how-long, if you don’t silence it. You select songs from your library via an alphabetical list of song titles with no thumb index. It could be tedious to select, say, "Yellow Submarine", if your whole iTunes library is in your iPad. Simple and easy to navigate UI: It actually took me quite a long time to figure out how to access all the listed features and decide that they are mostly all there and work. Slide up and down to dim screen: There is no visible slider. The whole screen is the slider: touch anywhere and slide up for dimmer, down for brighter. The maximum brightness is limited by the brightness setting in the iPad’s Settings app. “[E]xtra FUNCTIONS” in paid app: At least according to the features lists shown in the iTunes Store the only difference to the paid app is no ads. I.e., no extra features are listed for the paid app. All in all this is not bad at all for a free app. When they fix the swap-out-the-active-app bug, I will buy the paid app. (They should also get their features and screen shots in alignment.) Meanwhile, after you download CCf, if you have any interest in science, or especially astronomy, for a very different kind of clock, check out Emerald Observatory. It is beautiful and does not have that bug. (I have no connection whatever to the developer or seller.)

Very close to iPhone Clock app, but missing many U.S. cities. Could not find Orlando, Florida (or any other cities in florida). Once the cities are updated, this will be a winning app....

Cant anyone release a free app that doesnt have a crappy ad sticking out like brown shoes with a tuxedo? Plus, the world clocks arent all on one display page for easy reference. Back to the drawing board!
