Accessing iPhone Time: The Digital Clock App

iPhone Digial Clock App

Free Digital Clock is a nifty little app for the iPhone. It turns the iPhone into a bedside digital alarm clock. Colors are customizable and the app swivels smoothly from portrait to landscape mode. From its web site, Rock iPhone:

iPhone Digial Clock App Settings

A free version of the favorate nightstand appliction – Easy Clock. Turn your iphone/ipod touch into a digital clock, of which you can customize the font as any color. You can place the clock horizontally or vertically.

There are two reason why this app is accessible. First, the font, especially in landscape mode, is nice and large. Second, the customizable color scheme allows for nicely high contrast, light-on-dark combinations, like the yellow on black in the screen shot here.

There are a few features I would love to see this app implement. The first is some kind of orientation lock, so it could be stuck in landscape mode. The font size is much larger this way and, so, more readable. The second is currently impossible. It would be nice to leave this app on for a set period of time without the iPhone sleeping. It would truly be a digital clock for a while. Lastly, I would get rid of the slight glowing area beneath the middle of the clock readout. I realize that this makes the app seem more like a digital clock, but it does reduce readability.

Free Digital Clock is available on the iPhone or through the iTunes App Store. Read more iPhone accessibility reviews here.
