Description
Now you can match the clock on your phone with the watch on your wrist, with this selection of clock designs based on the ever popular Timefactors watches. Enjoy Timefactors watches past and present with an extensive range of features such as a day / dusk / night lume settings and a selection of backgrounds.

But we’re not finished there, we’re already working on the next version which will include a selection of movement options, fully functioning chronograph and even more choices for watches.

I'm really pleased with how this has come out, it looks absolutely stunning on the iPhone 4 Retina display (and of course the new iPod Touch now has the same display). We'll be working on the iPad Compatibility next week as it's not as simple as you think to get it working correctly there, despite being an iOS device!

We are also working on the Android version, so those of you with those devices can also enjoy the app, hopefully within a couple of weeks.

My company, Maximum Designs, were happy to provide the development of this App for FREE (it is, after all, our first app!) and all proceeds from sales will be donated to the Alexandra Bastedo ABC Animal Sanctuary (http://www.abcanimalsanctuary.co.uk/) a registered charity selected by Eddie :)

Enjoy the app, please review it in the store as that makes it more likely for others to try it... and feel free to announce this anywhere you see fit!

Cheers
Jon
