Clock 1.4.0.0
One such utility that is tailored for Windows Phone users can be found under the simple name of Clock and it comes with a nice set of customizations under the hood.
Cool looks and facile personalization
This utility offers a really neat interface that is ready for personalization as soon as the app starts. There are only a few themes to be found inside, but the graphics are very well done and the background images of the highest quality.
Clock has a beautiful appearance regardless of the screen orientation you keep it in, because it adapts equally well to portrait and landscape as well. The occasional advertisements that appear in full screen are, nonetheless, a bit of a bother.
Fast customization of the clock
The application has everything in plain sight, so accessing the "Settings" area to configure the running parameters is one tap away. The four themes you can choose are all for an analogue display, with one of them including an AM/PM indicator.
Switching the background image can be done in two ways, either by double tapping anywhere inside the main screen or by swiping to the left or to the right to move on to the next wallpaper.
Extra options at a glance
This app claims to have some sounds included, judging by the dedicated switch in the "Settings" section, but not a single ticking is heard. Fortunately, the lock screen disabling switch works and you can turn your phone into a desk clock while this system options is deactivated.
The supposedly live tile displayed onto the Start screen is in fact static and the time is not updated automatically as you have to open and exit the app to have the time refresh on that tile.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
Thanks to a decent set of themes and high-quality wallpapers, this utility scores well from the visual perspective, despite the full screen ad that may appear out of the blue. |
Function7
The themes and backgrounds are nice but too few compared to other similar applications, so it needs some improvements in this respect to earn more points. |
Security6
There are too many system areas for which this app needs access permissions, even if they are not related to the actual functionality. |
Battery9
Clock is very friendly with the system resources, as it consumes only a small amount of power when running, so the battery usage is very low at all times. |
Price8
There are quite a few advantages for this tool, but the few drawbacks it has are enough to make it lose a couple of points in terms of value. |
Compatibility9
Since it needs only version 7.5 of the OS to install and work properly, most Windows Phone users can try Clock onto their handsets. |
