Ratings and reviews

The pendulum >IS< in sync with the tock, and there's an error in logic in the program code that animates the pendulum. Its a dock with no tick. Great sound. So there's nothing on the right side of the swing. As a hobbiest watchmaker I'll say this is exactly what happens in the early Timex electrics and quartz movements. Normally, the pendulum should complete a cycle once every 2 seconds instead, advancing the second hand twice - once per arc. * If your snoozing to this, the screen is off anyway.

Nice simple promising app, but: 1. Ticking sometimes skips a beat. 2. Pendulum isn't synced with the ticking, which is distracting if I'm intending to use the app visually, too. 3. In addition to being out of sync, the pendulum swings frantically fast in relation to the ticking, which is REALLY distracting to watch. In real life, such a clock would tick as tge pendulum slowly swung to both right and left apexes, i.e. swing right-tick, swing left-tick, swing right-tick, swing left-tick, etc.
