The underlying teaching principle for this application is to help children connect the concepts of digital and mechanical clocks. A child manipulates either the mechanical/analog or the digital clock using simple gestures and observes the effect on the other clock. The on-demand narration allows even the children with rudimentary understanding of numbers to purposefully use Tick Tock Clock. The subtle audio and visual ornaments entertain the child and provide for more appealing and engaging learning environment without obscuring the core education value of the application.

Latest reviews of Tick Tock Clock - Learn How to Tell Time app for iPhone and iPad
This app would be great but when you click on the learn section the dinosaurs and the divider line keep you from seeing the minute and hours
Both of my kids like this app. The older one uses it as an assistant when doing homework and the younger one loves the colors and the dinos. Little girls voice is a nice touch. Thank you for adding the quiz mode.
The price seemed a bit on the high side, but its definitely worth $3.
My son has apps that he likes better, but this one still keeps him busy for few minutes and helps me teach him something.
It would be nice to add a way to practice 24 hour clock, not just 12 hour am/pm clock.
