Fantastic. Great app, does everything it needs to.

Pretty Good. 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 this app.!! 👍🏻

New Clock Who This. Love the new look and feel in the latest update 🤩

Good clock - just needs two things to be perfect. 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!

Best chess clock on App Store. This is the best. No ads, no payment and no lags

Excellent and easy to use chess timer. 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!

No updates in a long time appears to be abandoned.. No updates in a long time appears to be abandoned. No iOS updates or updates for new hardware.

My sound doesn’t work. I used o love the beep sound but it stopped working :(

Perfect !. Just what it’s needed to play timed.

Simple, Great. Simple app, does its job well. I'd even be willing to pay a few bucks for it.

Great Clock!. 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, “

Only blitz games?. I can’t figure out how to make the clock reset after each turn, it just pauses and then continues counting down. I want to give each player 1 minute per turn, but the clock doesn’t reset after each turn. Tried messing with the settings, but couldn’t get it to work. Very frustrating. EDIT: there is another app called “Chess Clock Plus” that does exactly what I want it to do (or close enough), and it is much more customizable.

It’s free and does its job as a chess timer well.. Simple but good app.

Solid chess timer. A really nice timer for casual games with your friends. I like the ability to save your own preset times, so you can play your favorite time easily. A great alternative to an analog or electric chess timer. I would definitely pay money for this app. The only thing I would have liked to see is a sound cue for the end of the game. Overall, a very solid chess timer.

Chris. Not great. Very limited.

Clock. Good

Perfect. Great gui

Functional and uncluttered. 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.

Perfect. Fantastic timer. Has all the features you need. And it’s free with no ads. Amazing!

Awesome. 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.

My favorite timer. 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!

Fantastic free chess clock. Works perfect, with no problems or ads. It would be nice to set different times for each side, but I would expect to pay for that. It really is just a clean, effective, well-designed app. I play against my little kids with it; I get 5 mins. and they get unlimited. I hit pause to end my turn, and they hit their clock to run my time. Works well.

Excellent!. 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.

Cool App. Bagel spiders haunt my dreams. Help.

Really intuitive!. 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.

Exactly what you expect. It's rare that I'm pleseantly surprised by an app. No ads, beautiful UI, simple and intuitive. 10/10.

Useless update. Had to update when it was working fine, since the concept is so simple the fact that it had to be updated tells me it was a piece of junk to start with.

Best IPhone Chess Clock!. This is one of the best chess clocks compared to it is free. Of course, if you go out and buy a real one, it is better but this is a FREE app.

Fine and Fischer Fine Clock. 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, this app is smart and effective. Cheers. —Mark

Great for Backgammon Too!. 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!

It’s great!. It’s a great app and we have so much fun playing with it. I totally recommend this app.

Adds time during fast turns. For the price, free, it is ok. If you move quickly, it won’t reduce the time, and sometimes it will even add a few seconds. This seems like an easy and worthwhile fix.

Some features don't work. 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.

IT’S GREAT!. 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.

Use with other games. 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

Timer adds after you push clock. 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.

Nice chess clock. I like this app a lot. The only thing that would be nice to be able to do which is not possible on this clock, is to set a different time for each player. I enjoy playing blitz with my 5 year old, but it would be nice to give him more time without have to just run out the clock on my side before starting.

Fantastic!. Great look and feel. And functionality is top-notch.

No sound. My app no longer makes a click noise when you hit the button. Even when I toggle it on/off. Very real bummer

Perfectly simple and easy. One idea: In delay mode how about also showing a little countdown timer.

Excellent app. Very useful

Missing one feature. 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.

5 stars chess timer. 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

The best app for a chess clock out there!!. I hosted my own tournament!! We were on a budget so, we used this app for the clocks, it worked great!!

Works great!. Can’t argue with free. No need for a $30 clock and this is 1,000x’s better!

Improved my game. Very useful clock!

Great product. I love it!

Perfect. 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!

USCF Tournament director approved. This is a great App to have on your phone! We have used it as a (backup clock) during our Scholastic tournaments…. Alton Academy 4 Chess

Perfect chess timer. 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!!!

No complaints. Looks good and functions well. Pretty handy little app!

Solid and Simple. Great timer works great every time

Siuuu. Too pros

This is great. Thanks for making a great and simple to use chess clock. The style and colours are beautiful

Perfect. This is exactly what a chess clock needs to be. Cheap, convenient, reliable, good looking and works just the way it should. It even tells you how many moves each player has done. If you are looking for a chess/checkers clock, this one is simply the best! Thank you chess.com for programming this

Awesome app. Adjustable timer.. Yeah brahs

Brilliant!. It's a simple and easy to use app, exactly as one would expect it to be

Best there is. This is the best chess timer I have found on the store in terms of aesthetics and function. My one gripe is I wish it didn’t pause the clock when you return to the homescreen. I know you usually wouldn’t do so during a chess match, but i don’t use the app for chess, rather for other life activities where a chess timer works best.

Simple Neat Design. Preset time controls Custom time controls

Perfect. Does exactly what it should. Free and no ads.

Perfectly Simple Chess Clock. Now with this upgrade the user gets a chance to introduce player handicap parameters plus it's compatible with iOS11. Thanks

Works great, no ads, doesn’t spy. This is a welcome bright spot in free apps - most of which work poorly, are full of ads, sell your data, or all three. Chess.com chess timer is simple, easy to use, looks good, ad-free, and doesn’t collect any data at all. Fantastic.

Elegant, simple.. It's perfect, thank you chess.com!

Relief in sight. Finally iOS 11 sees that it is compatible. Before my app compatibility list showed this app was not going to run until now thanks to this update.

Perfect. Straight forward, extremely user friendly.

Suggestion to developer. Fantastic and easy-to-use chess clock. One bug that needs to be fixed though is that the clock sound isn’t on when the phone is in silent mode.

Great app. Simple and easy to use. I use this whenever i want to play a casual gane of chess

Thank You!. Great clock! This app saved chess and go at our house!

The best!. The absolute best chess clock app!

Great phone clock. Flawless - exactly what's needed for a quick blitz fix when there is a board but no clock available.

Cool. this is great app but can you please make so we can design our clocks ⏰ thanks 😊

The game. This is amazing, its so for funny to play with the app

Great!. I really have been enjoying this app! The only thing is i have not been able to set the clock to have different time for both players. I hope it can become a feature!

Great app. Works great, love that you can set it up for odds games where 1 player has more time than the other.

Simple is great. It’s simple and Love it.

Great!!! :). Easy to use with great power! Hard to find an app that don’t have ads. Thx! :)

Great little clock. Exactly what I was looking for to play a timed chess game. No need to carry the bulky clock.

Fantastic. Allows you to create many different types of timers. And so far, no adds. Love it.

Great clock. A free clock that let’s you configure whatever time control you want. Highly recommend this to chess players.

Terrible keyboard layout for iPhone 11. It lays out the info and the keyboard pretty tricky on my iPhone 11

great BUT.... love it BUT wish there was way to set different time controls for each person

Great clock. It's awesome

Great app. Can't really read it outdoors.. I'd really like it if you could change the colors or theme to be black text on a white background. I can't really read it when playing in the park.

Excelente app!. Funciona perfectamente, sin publicidad, ni restricciones. Sin duda la mejor de su tipo.

Simple to use and it just works!. This is the perfect Chess clock app. It opens immediately, has a simple interface, and it just works.

5min game. I wanted to play a 5min game with my son and within 1min I had searched downloaded and opened it ready to play. PERFECT for what it is. Thank you to the developers!

Cool little App. Does exactly what you want and very nice price

I like it. Hi everyone, Just downloaded the chess clock by chess.com and notice it allows you to have different options like 15 min d2 or 5 minutes no delay. I haven’t found the way to set the delay on custom times. Looking for 15 min d5 or 30 min d5 for club games. Anyone know how to adjust the times in the setting?

The Perfect Chess clock. Beautiful, clean interface. Enough customization for the average player. Works well, no crashes.

Needs update to 64-bit. Great chess clock app, but unless it is updated it will stop working in a future version of iOS (when Apple removes 32 bit support).

Very Solid Timer. This is basically all anyone could ask for in a chess clock app. Everything works correctly, and there are preset settings for short and long games. Good work, Chess.com!

Very nice timer, but might have a bug. This timer is really clean and easy to set up. I like it a lot. However, the move counter doesn't seem to be working. It always ends with 0 moves :(

Thank you. Perfect, small size, gives no issues, easy to use and exactly what we needed!

Nice but missing one key feature. Simple and clean design. Just missing one key feature: the ability to set different time controls for each player. Maybe in a future update??

Good. I don't know I can't get it

Missing a central feature. It's impossible to set different times for each player.

Pretty Good. The clock is almost perfect. The one problem is it won't let different time styles in each increment. For instance instance the FIDE classical tournament format where the first increment is not Fischer style. Then after 40 moves it is Fischer style.

MUST HAVE APP FOR CHESS PLAYERS. I absolutely love this app. But I do have one suggestion: we should be able to give different times to each player. Other than that it's awesome!

Great app!. Coming from the makers of chess.com, my expectations were met. Everything works like it's supposed to, and it's free. For all chess lovers, this is definitely worth it.

Not for rated tournaments. This is a great program for casual and club games. Be aware that NO smart phone or iPad clocks are legal for use in official USCF-rated tournaments at this time.

Great!!. Easy to use, works great.

Simple, elegant, perfect. No ads, great interface, wonderful little app. It has a large number of complex increment timer modes available, but I use it as a simple chess clock and it's great.

Great App. Works great and is simple to use, Highly Recommended.

Great clock, been using for years.. I've had this clock for years and use it in my chess classes.

Free and Simple. It offers for free features that other apps require money for

Simple and perfect app.. The fact that chess.com makes this free, with no ads, no data collection, and no strings attached, made me end up buying their subscription for their main app. What a great move and a wonderful way to share the game.

Customers don't know about this. There is a way to set a different timer.

Fantastic. Easy to use, reliable, great click sound. Love the different time options.

Good chess clock. I recommend chess players to download this ! Really helpful !

Excellent chess clock app. This chess clock app is full featured and easy to use. I highly recommend it to my fellow chess players.

Simple, tidy, and effective. Does exactly what it is supposed to without superfluous bells and whistles.

Perfectly simple. Easy to use, customizable times, all you would ever want in a chess clock. I probably would've even paid a dollar for it

Excellent!!!. Super simple. Works great on my iPhone or iPad. Just bought an Omcor clock for our son for Christmas then found the App for the chess clock. So much better, faster and easier to set up. Will be returning the new clock and using this exclusively. Plus, so much easier to travel with since its on your phone.

can't turn OFF the sound. please add this feature so i can use this in my chess tournaments

I recommend this app. This app is really good for chess especially when it’s made by chess.com and I really like the click noise from when finish your turn. But there is one thing it’s not bad but I am telling you this I am temporarily using this app until I get a real chess clock the kind where I press the button

Great, but not perfect. Overall this is a very good chess clock, and can account for most games I've played with friends. I just have one problem with it though, and it's with the time controls. You can't have different times on different sides, which is somewhat needed if I'm trying to practice armageddon or just play someone better/worse who needs the time odds.

Needs 64bit support. This app is on life support until it gets updated.

Crashing. Crashing on launch

Perfectly Simple. Very functional and simple to use.

Perfect Chess Clock - easy & beautiful. What more can I say - it’s amazing :D

Nice. Simple yet very flexible in what you want it to do.

Simple. Very easy to operate.

Needs Update. Needs update to work (- 2 stars). It does not have ads. Simple and nice user interface.

Easy. Easy. Works.

Perfeito. Problema resolvido para quem não tinha relogio! App 100%

Easy. Great little app. Works well.
