すくすく時計

Suku Suku Clock (すくすく時計)App for iPhone
     This is an analog style clock application featuring a cute little round group of characters.  They are not real creatures... but some sort of... pig, rabbit, hamster... demon... bubble... thing.
     There are three little creatures you can switch between.  A green one with horns, a pink one with horns, as well as a blue one with a funny hat.
     The application is incredibly simple to navigate.  Once it's done loading you will begin on the clock screen with the green character slowly spinning around as the seconds go by.  In case you couldn't figure it out, the characters on the clock represent numbers.  The top number is zero/zed, not twelve.
     If you wish to switch to the pink characters, simply click the button in the upper right corner.
     Everything will be the same but the character and background colour.  To switch back to green press the left upper button.  The right upper button will move you along to blue.  You may freely switch back and forth between all of the characters.
     There are no sounds.  No alarms to set.  There are no extra features, animations, Easter eggs...  It is just a simple analog clock application.
     Below you can see the green, pink and blue character screens.
     I have not experienced any issues with the application.  No bugs, forced shut downs, etc.  My only concern is that it is perhaps a bit 'too' simplistic.  Though it is a free application.  If you are a fan of the Sukusuku characters then you may very much enjoy this application.  Otherwise I think there may be more functional clock applications that you may choose to download, that are of the same price (free).
     On the bright side, if you are learning Japanese or have a small child learning to count.  The characters rather than numbers could be very educational.
