Gravity clock app review: a fun alternative to your built in iOS time piece
Introduction
If you've gotten bored with the built in clock on your iPhone and iPad then you may want to give the gravity clock app a try.
It's Time For A Change
Gravity clock is a fun little app that give you a time piece other than your iDevice's built in clock. As the seconds tick by on gravity clock they fall to the bottom of the screen, or the side depending on which way you are holding your device. With the tap of the arrow button at the top of the screen you can switch the "gravity" on the app to give the appearance of the number floating to the top of the screen.
You are given two options for the basic look of gravity clock. The standard black background with white numbers, or you can choose the reverse. Other than that the only other customization available is by tapping the screen which will change the colour of the second hand.
Stop That Infernal Racket
Like every clock you have the ability to set your alarm. Sadly, gravity clock only offers you four options for the alarms and they are all equally annoying. It's surprising that the developer didn't just utilize the built in alarms on the iOS or allow you to download others and install them. Hopefully this will be considered and rectified in future updates.
