Leave a Review Binary Watch | Clock & Widget
Nice Format but Not in Widget
I’ve had an actual binary clock for some years, and have been looking for an app like it. What I want is for the app to (1) display seconds, (2) show hours, minutes, and seconds on three lines of up to 6 bits each (NOT binary-coded decimal), (3) have the option to not show decimal numbers next to the lights, and finally (4) do it all on a widget. Of the apps I have seen, this one comes the closest, failing only the last criterion — the widget does not show seconds and alway shows the decimal numbers. I’m hoping that the developer will give the widget the same options that the full-screen display has, in which case I I’ll give the app the full 5 stars.
UPDATE: Thanks DejaWorks for your reply! I do, however, have a couple of *decimal* digital clock widgets (3rd party, not Apple) that show seconds and update the widget ever second (search for “clock widget seconds” in the App Store). Is there some reason that this can’t be done with binary dots instead of decimal numerals??
P.S. I’m giving you 5 stars for at least trying, and for other fixed in the widget. And while you’re at it, how about a color selection in the widget?Show lessR-314

Thank you for your feedback. On the widget; we cannot refresh the screen per second, this is why on the widget we cannot display the seconds. This is the Apple’s iOS limitation. UPDATE: Displaying provided date/time text by OS is different procedure than triggering a graphic update event. According to our experience and tries it didn’t work. We wish we had the seconds digit would blink in real time every seconds. Thanks for your update, appreciated.Help With Widget??
If you can help me figure out how this works as a widget, this will get 5 stars. So far, I do not see that as an option despite the description saying it is. Please let me know!ceotten1

Please update the app to the latest version we renewed all widgets.Good binary clock, too much bloom
It would be nice if we could use our mini-LED and OLED displays to their fullest, and not have so much artificial bloom on the binary indicators. The random stripe in the background could also be enjoyably removed. No reason for it to be there, other than to distract from the clock itself and waste a bit of extra battery.Show lesswasp604
