## What is Always On Display?

This app allows you change the size of the clock, to have both a digital and analog clock displayed at the same time, a second time zone, to add colors inside the clock digits, and more.  There is an emoji that you can change it's size on the screen.  It has a battery indicator ring that changes color depending on the battery level and you can also change it's size.  You can also make the screen really dim so that you can have it displayed by your bedside.
Choosing dark colors and images ensures that the battery will not be greatly affected utilising OLED technology device panels found in later model iPhones.  For changes or requests you can always contact us and we will try our best to implement it for you in the next update!

*Disclaimer - This version of the will not display icons related to calls or messages within its screen.

### 3/5 — Beautiful clock but not always on

*2022-02-06*

I don't know why they hint that it's anything more than a beautiful clock. It closes out when it goes to lock and won't come back unless you actively open it again. It's not what I wanted so only 3 stars.... But it appears to do everything else it says......except stay always on.

**Developer response:** Thank for purchasing our app!

In order the app to always stay on, there is a switch in the Settings screen that you can enable.  It is the second last button from the top. Please go to Settings > “Disable auto lock”,  enable it and press Done. This will ensure the app stays open. If you close the app or restart the phone you may have access the same switch and toggle it again. 
Thank you,
Always On Display Support

### 1/5 — It not work

*2021-11-01*

The app not work it has all the options to st up but no display

**Developer response:** Dear ESIKYO,

We re sorry to hear that. In order to assist you, could you please provide us with some details via email?
For example, if you are not seeing the digital clock or the analog hands, please make sure that the background color of the screen is different to the clock hands or digits. All these are fully customizable by accessing the settings icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen.

Thank you,
Always On support team.

### 4/5 — Good but not perfect 😩

*2021-07-22*

It does what I want, but I have to leave my phone unlocked for it to work 😔 it's a shame because I was hopeful that it would work, but I don't like leaving my phone unlocked.

**Developer response:** Hello NNN0411,

Thank you for choosing to buy the app.  In the next 2 weeks we will be uploading an updated version of it, which will include a "screen auto-lock disable" function just as you requested it!  Is there anything else you'd like added or amended?

Regards,
Always On Support
