Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Concerns raised: App focuses on keypad entry rather than actual time-reading skill, Analog watches give approximate time at a glance, not exact readings, Unclear practical use case for needing exact analog time without other devices, Analog watches are inaccurate compared to digital alternatives
Feature requests: Multiple-choice mode to match analog clocks to digital times, Competitive mode with more clocks for multiplayer gameplay, Light/dark theme toggle for different time scenarios
