This is a solid, well-designed educational tool for the specific window when kids are learning to tell time. PBS KIDS brings their usual quality—no ads, no nonsense, just straightforward skill-building wrapped in the quirky Odd Squad universe.

The catch? You need to own a compatible smartwatch, which is a pretty significant investment for what's essentially a time-telling practice app. If your kid already has one of these watches, it's a no-brainer download. If you're considering buying a smartwatch just for this app, maybe pump the brakes.

The app does what it promises: makes time-telling practice more engaging than staring at a worksheet. The daily badge system provides just enough motivation without being manipulative. But once your kid can tell time confidently, there's not much reason to keep using it. It's a tool with a shelf life, and that's okay—not everything needs to be forever.
