If you're out there looking for a good time app for your Windows Phone Phone, I suggest you give Clock O' Matic a try. It's an all-in-one app at the price of free in the store. At that price you get a clock, alarm, stopwatch, countdown timer, a live tile clock and a world clock. All that without ads.
It seems the developer took a lot of inspiration from Android Lollipop clock with "changing shades and elegant design". Note sure I'm in for an Android experience on my Windows Phone, but the app is useful nonetheless as any app of its kind. Take the live background for example. It is not fluid and seems to be in a loop mode, you can tell by watching that the animation restarts every 15 seconds or so. But I suspect it is a OS limitation.
And there are these three dots at the bottom right of the app that takes you into the app settings. This is plain ugly, so Android. While I understand the developer took it's inspiration from Google's clock for Android, inspiration does not mean copying or mimicking. Google's clock is not the most beautiful app on Android either, unlike Timely.
There seems to be some issues with the global clock too with cities listed more than once. Some big cities are missing: Washington, Seattle, Beijing, Calgary for example. Once you found the city, add it to the app home screen for future reference.
The alarm clock has got the time picker which makes it more convenient to set an alarm time. The analog design is not user friendly and I had a hard time to set an alarm with it. To make things simple, I suggest that this big clock be removed and make the time picker the default.
If the developer is reading this, I hope he/she will take my critics positively. Clock O' Matic is a nice app and will definitely work better with some improvements, especially on the design front. Even the app icon is similar to the Android version of the app.
Clock O' Matic has also been updated today with customized live tile with transparent analog and digital clock.
