> Today we replaced the clock app with a rewrite that has been in the works

> testers were overall positive and found it to be a good improvement over
> the old clock app *Clock Legacy*. The rewrite helped me avoid some
> mistakes that I made with Clock Legacy and fix some long standing bugs. I

> up to it :-), so it should work as expected.

> Some of the most significant improvements you will notice with Clock
> Reboot are,
>
> - Revamped design bringing it in line with other system apps like dialer,
> address-book etc.
> - Stable, reliable World Clocks feature
> - Granular alarm controls (vibration, alarm volume, duration)
> - Improved alarm experience
>
> Please do note that Clock Reboot does not include a Timer and Stopwatch.
> These features along with a couple more will be implemented POST-RTM.

> So what happens to Clock Legacy? Well initially I decided to push it to
> the Ubuntu Touch Store. On second thought, I decided against it since Clock
> Legacy has its fair share of bugs and needs a maintainer which is hard to
> come by. Due to time constraints, I wouldn't be able to manage both Clock
> Reboot and Clock Legacy and so will be maintaining only Clock Reboot here
