I have been using iClock for years and it works fine with OS 10.7.3...

Recently I found there was a problem with a time zone that was incorrect... (It was for Alice Springs/Adelaide Australian time zone. It should show 6:00 pm but it shows 7:00...)

I sent a report to Julian but did not get any reply. I do hope that he will update the time zone databases from time to time so they reflect changes (and daylight saving zones).

I should mention that I have tested iClock in a beta version Mountain Lion and it seems to work fine!

Some services from iClock 1.12 seem no longer work with the latest version of Mac OS 10.7.3, such as alarms, schedules, preferences, etc...
Is that an update is planned soon?

This product has all the functions I would like to see in one app, but the app extremely unstable, and some functions are poorly implemented.
- Calendar alerts do not follow iCal pattern.
- Not possible to move the Calculator from it's default location.
- iClock calendar is ugly

The major problem with recent versions of this, which I've used since the beginning, is that updates are FEW and FAR BETWEEN. When it's broken by some random change to OS X, it can be over a year before the required update is provided. You can't help but feel that the author must have abandoned the app without bothering to open-source it, first. It totally sucks to be forced to fiddle and diddle with it, trying to make Prefs hold, THE major problem, IMO. Otherwise, I really LIKE iClock!

You absolutely need to get your act together, Julian. Stop half-assing it! Give iClock a complete re-write. It deserves it.

A paid update is far better than NO update!

I am in agreement with many other reviewers. This used to be a great product and worked flawlessly. Now it is so troublesome that I finally gave up and uninstalled it. The problem is with the implementation of the time clock. I've tried it on 3 computers, the most recent two being a Mac Pro (2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) and a MacPro (i7). After the install, it seems to work fine. But in subsequent reboots, you often end up with NO time. So like the System Preferences->iClock says, you click the Load ALT option and you get the time back. But then on the next reboots you get TWO time clocks. After that it is random--0, 1, or 2 depending on the nuances of electron world. There is no consistency, no guarantee of any clock. I've installed a clean Snow Leopard on the Mac Pro and started from scratch, and it still wouldn't work properly. I've emailed support numerous times with my logs, but recently (last six months) there has been nothing from them. I'm gathering they can't fix this.

In short, if you need a reliable clock showing, you need to look at Apple's or some other source.

This piece of sh*t software ha been bad since day one. Every time they release an update, I sigh and decide to give it another try because I really really would love to have a stable, bug-free utility that does what iClock wants to do. But alas.

The time checkbox refuses to remain checked. When you click "Send feedback" you even see a special note "if you are having a problem where the time menu does not appear, then try hitting the button below. Then hit the bug report button above and let us know if the alt menu worked."

Did that. Now I've got TWO time menus! There are other issues I have also but this is the most annoying.

I would like them to add moon phases to the calendar. I would also like more flexibility in the alarms. In fact the whole alarm are is confusing. It needs a complete redesign and new UI.

If this utility were to work properly, I would recommend it. I withhold recommendation now, as an catalyst for them to fix it,.

Given the current promo price on Plum Amazing software, I decided to give iClock another try. Once again it was a disappointment, and not worth the current $10 price.
TANKKNIGHT posted that "checkboxes do not like to stay checked" regarding Release Candidate versions. The problem he described still remains: "...date mostly showed up, but the time checkbox mostly unchecked itself and the time would not display..." The RC versions are from about a year ago. Isn't a year sufficient time to fix those bugs?
I'm glad I tried iClock for a few days since at first it seemed to work fine. I like some of the additional features iClock offers, but prefer the reliability and stability of You Control. iClock is just too buggy for my needs.
If it would work as advertised, it would certainly be worth $10.
I liked this software when I was using it in 2003. It added some cool features and there were no (or not many) alternative applications. These days there are plenty of choices that just perform better than iClock, even if today it's called iClock "Pro"

I've been an iClock user for many years. Although there were some major problems with the new Pro version 1 beta, this release (1.01) finally works good for me. No preference or display problems as of now and all necessary feature are functional. This one is a keeper.

I'm constantly surprised by the number of favorable reviews this thing gets.

I started using iClock a very long time ago. In earlier years, it was more or less ok though it had some quirks and bug that annoyed me.

More-recently, however, I'm totally grumpy with it.

Version 1.00rc4 does not work properly at all times with SnowLeopard. At the outset, click the checkbox "All menus enabled." What you get varies randomly. Sometimes all come on, other times they do not or some do.

Often, Preferences could not be summoned from the menu bar. At least that bug seems to have gone.

iClock Pro has been a hassle and a major let down to me compared to the previous iClock. I am still on a PPC G5 and have been going thru very painful issues ... All Pro versions have been issue prone (checkboxes do not like to stay checked is a biggee), but RC4 never worked and RC6 would only work until I did a restart ... The date mostly showed up, but the time checkbox mostly unchecked itself and the time would not display. My latest request for help has gone unanswered, so out of frustration I have retired iClock Pro permanently.

A few months ago I had started using iStat Menus and decided I really like it. So I was pleasantly surprised while playing with the features to notice that it will display the time and date! It's not fancy like iClock Pro, but heck all I really want is exactly what iStat Menus supplies!!

iClock 3.05 doesn't work on Snow Leopard on my iMac

I have iClock 3.04b3 on my MBP and this one works perfectly with Snow Leopard. Lucky me I didn't update it.

Is there any way for us who don't want to pay for Pro version to get the 3.04b3 version download somewhere?

I sent an iClock Pro trouble report to support@scriptsofware.com and got no reply.
I then posted the issue in their forum, and got no response.
I do think that iClock Pro is the bees knees when it works smoothly.....which is not that often, however, Scriptsoftware's support really sucketh in my experience.
I really do hope that they get their act together and provide user friendly support and finally, a smooth working, bug free iClock pro.

This particular beta version is buggy. When quitting iClock's preferences or Mini Calendar,
System UI Server crashes with the message "The application SystemUIServer quit unexpectedly. The problem may have been caused by he iClockTimeMenu plug-in.
Also, most of my time/location settings do not appear in the menu bar read out.
The previous beta version worked just fine.

if you have b16 installed we need you to open the installer and in the help menu hit the create debug txt and send us the file. we did change some things on purpose to get more info from exactly the situation you had (it will only occur to a few with many menubar apps) and your bug report will actually help nail that issue.

I tried this out for a bit, and I found it to be fairly useful. I had some minor issues with preferences not sticking, but it's still in beta, so that's excusable. I eventually decided to uninstall it simply because it just wasn't quite useful enough for me to justify the purchase price. With the uninstaller (included in the installer application), I ran into problems. First of all, it couldn't find one of the application bundles contained within the iClock preference pane (!) and popped up a menu asking me to locate it. Second, it didn't delete anywhere near all the files installed by iClock--about the only thing it did manage to trash was the preference pane. Third, when I checked the trash, I saw that it had trashed my entire ~/Library/Preference Panes folder along with its own preference pane. I think it's important to make the uninstaller work properly if it's going to be included and recommended for use. A careless user who didn't check his/her trash before emptying it could have done quite a bit of damage. So, if you try this app and decide to uninstall it, just do it manually or with a utility like Amnesia or AppDelete, then run a search of your hard drive to find the library it installs in /usr/bin or wherever.
