I'm Clock: Korean app success seeks Fame in the West
Clocks, alarms,stopwatches, countdown timers, egg-timers and any other horological app for iDevices that you can think of have been done a million and one times. So why is "I'm Clock" such a success in South Korea and can it overcome any cultural barriers to make it big on other appstores?
Look at I'm Clock's feature list and you can see that if you're needing to buy a clock app for your iPhone or iPad then just based on features this app could be something special:

Multi featured iOS clock with mood enhancing
capabilities

• It's minimalist-so looks something special, pundits would call it a Feng Shui clock experience for your iDevice, we just say it looks very stylish
• Alarms and snoozing are supported, easily set and accessed even when the app is shut
• A comprehensive live weather forecast comes with the clock app. Sundials, barometers and time keeping have gone together since time immemorial, so this app just keeps up a timeheld tradition
• Time of day backgrounds and accompanying music: Now this is where the app transforms itself from just another clock app to something more and better. Natural themes are embodied and set moods fantastically and as for the music itself, there are none emotive tracks compiled by the developers themselves. Now that's dedication! (And it works rather well with the emotive-and customisable- background wallpapers and music providing an evocative experience to a mere clock app.

So back to the aforementioned app localisation problems, the fact is there aren't any. The only reason this "digital sensitivity clock" won't find worldwide success is if people don't hear of it. Well now you have, so if you want an emotive , experiental clock with multiple features than you need look no further than
