"Flat Earth Clock App is a social network for "flat earthers" to connect and to provide a echo chamber among likeminded people.

the app serves a "clock" that tries (and fails) to show how day/night does progress on a Flat earth, and serves as a platform for content to reinforce science denial regarding everything we learned about our universe.

As being a "flat earther" has the common side effect of one losing real human connections/friends even family in some cases, the Creator David Weiss, capitalizes on people that are easy to manipulate, providing the platform as replacement.

The application is available in the Google Play Store[1] and Apple's App Store[2] respectively for a one time payment of $3 (no trial), and in-app purchases in form of a subscription for a "friend finder feature" despite being reported multiple times by serval individuals, including myself fo major breaches of security, privacy, wrong statements about collected data and breaches of EU and US regulations.
