Review summary

Users praise Pendulum Clock for its nostalgic chimes and time-keeping help, with many finding it reliable and useful. The main recurring problems are time sync issues causing incorrect chimes, night-time scheduling not always working, and occasional stability or device-specific problems. Some users also request features like tick-tock sounds, wallpaper customization, or easier DND integration. Overall, strong concept and appeal, but reliability and time-synchronization bugs are the primary drawbacks.

Pros

Improves time awareness for users, especially those with time blindness.
Pleasant, deep chime sounds with a grandfather clock vibe.
Chimes on the hour and half-hour with adjustable frequency to help teach time.
Generally reliable and useful for many users; works well for keeping time.
Flexible usage; can replace or complement alarms, providing clock chimes without extra alarms.

Cons

Time synchronization/timezone issues causing chimes and announcements to be out of sync with device time.
Night-time scheduling not properly respected; app chimes at night despite settings.
Stability and compatibility problems in some cases (freezes/crashes; device-specific issues like on OnePlus 13).

2026-03-15	Ch*****	1) Time announcement lags for 5 more minutes after the base ringtone or sometimes not works at all. 2) Night time or sleep time works not properly. 3) The app freezes frequently even if it is excluded from battery optimisation and is set to auto start. 4) Even when checked, sticky notification icon is swept away from recent apps when cleared. 5) Repeat ringtone 'as per hour' doesn't work properly or it clashes with time announcement option. The reason I chose this app is to get this cute feature

2025-12-31	Em*****	I love this app. Definitely helps with my time blindness. UNFORTUNATELY it loses a star because it seems like once a month, I guess it updates? And all the settings reset. I prefer the airport Bing bong sound, and I may suddenly be awoken by a very loud grandfather clock tone! Very jarring.

2025-12-15	ma*****	no seconds hand; why no tick-tock sound, with option to turn off? why can't wallpaper background be selected from gallery? the pendulum moves so slowly, like it's dying💀💀💀

2025-12-06	Ka*****	One major issue is that it doesn't sync to my device's time, so I can set it to only chime 9AM-8PM or any range, but it will instead chime the opposite time and play at night (In this example it plays 9PM-8AM instead). I can manually turn the app on and off each morning and evening but it's a hassle that a clock app doesn't keep time accurately. I think this is because the app doesn't adjust based on my timezone. So an auto sync w/ device, or timezone option in settings, would fix this.
