At Chess.com, we really do love chess, and *sometimes* we even play it offline! For times like that, we created this clock - and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Fine and Fischer Fine Clock

A great clock, easy to use, easy to reset; enough of a “click” sound to notice but not distract; with clocks being so absurdly priced these days, this app is smart and effective. Cheers. —Mark
Perfectly simple and easy

One idea: In delay mode how about also showing a little countdown timer.
Really intuitive!

It's super easy to make custom time settings on this, and there are no overly complicated buttons, like in other chess clock apps. Definitely recommend.
Use with other games
Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
We use this with other games like rumicube to add another dimension to it!!! What a blast!!! We put 5 min on the clock and add 2-5 sec per play to make it a blitz game
Useless update

Had to update when it was working fine, since the concept is so simple the fact that it had to be updated tells me it was a piece of junk to start with.
Awesome

What a fantastic timer. Sometimes you find yourself playing real chess but don’t have a clock on hand. This fantastic app has many of the time options of a real check clock. The button size and readability is very good. The sound effects give it a real visceral feel of hitting a clock! Would be cool to add a vibrate when hit button too.
Very Solid Timer

This is basically all anyone could ask for in a chess clock app. Everything works correctly, and there are preset settings for short and long games. Good work, Chess.com!
Only blitz games?

I can’t figure out how to make the clock reset after each turn, it just pauses and then continues counting down. I want to give each player 1 minute per turn, but the clock doesn’t reset after each turn. Tried messing with the settings, but couldn’t get it to work. Very frustrating. EDIT: there is another app called “Chess Clock Plus” that does exactly what I want it to do (or close enough), and it is much more customizable.
