Замерзают. Поправьте. Сделайте больше настроек ### 4/5 — Works great, but *2025-07-04* Love it as usual, but would be nice if my background changes would stick. ### 3/5 — Like *2024-10-30, version 1.3.7* But the clock widget won’t be on the right time have to delete and put new one up ### 2/5 — Nice App *2024-09-01* Nice app to have on my home screen. The lettering is large enough to see without being intrusive. Helps me to keep up with the time, the date and day of the week as well. All in one place. Love it. But the background is always difficult to change. Other than that, it is great. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. May we know why the rating is 1? ### 3/5 — Background *2024-08-31* The app gives an option to change the background, but it does not change on the widget. ### 4/5 — Works Great *2024-06-27, version 1.3.7* I had to change me rating because it works just like they say.It takes patients to figure out how but it is simple. ### 4/5 — SUBTLE AESTHETIC *2024-04-21* I’m fairly new to this app but I’m enjoying the UI and finding that it’s decidedly one of the "better" clock and widget apps that are offered here. I like the fact that you can put your own background on the widget, but I couldn’t find any answers or FAQs regarding the ability to keep the ones you like in a gallery of some sort; this would encourage me to add one more star if so. ;) ### 3/5 — Beautiful assistant !!! *2024-02-11* I've used the widget a couple of days now. i'll do a few more features before give a rating. So far so good.. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2023-12-30* The options on widgets do not show on locked screen only home screen and the last widget option with date and day of week only show with 4 swipes. I bought this for my elderly mom’s phone. Don’t waste your money. ### 2/5 — Not quite there… *2023-12-10* It’s a simple to use app but on the smaller neon type tube clock faces the filling happens: 1) Displays the ‘hour’ okay 24/7 but 2) The ‘minutes’ are random for example you get 3 dots instead of the minutes which is rather annoying when you want to quickly glance at the time! So I have to look at the official Apple time (top left corner of my screen) which is too small without my glasses on ) so it kind of defeats the object of this widget. I reached out to the developer via email on their website but had no reply to my query. Looks like another ‘wasted £5’. Such a shame as cannot recommend this which is rare for me to say. ### 1/5 — Forget transparent backgrounds *2023-11-26* This app has some nice widgets, but forget it if you’re tripping to get a transparent background, you can’t edit the widget position like it says you can in the app, and it seems to be flipping the image somehow, either way it’s impossible to set and correctly align your own background, I tried this with the original image and a Home Screen screenshot, and either way it doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Slow *2023-11-25* It won’t keep up with the actual time. When I leave the home page where it is, when I return it’s time is slowed down and behind the real time. It’s very irritating. ### 1/5 — I don’t like the app, want refund *2023-11-05, version 1.3.7* Refund doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Was good while it lasted *2023-11-02, version 1.3.7* Stopped working after the last iOS 17.2 update. ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2023-10-10, version 1.3.7* Used to be able to add a picture for the background but it’s not working anymore. Sad. Doesn’t keep accurate time either ### 3/5 — Not keeping up with real time *2023-10-05* It’s like it’s checking the time every 10 minutes and it stays at that time until I open the widget and it’ll update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 真っ白 *2026-05-02* イライラする ### 1/5 — Платно *2025-12-28* Демо ### 1/5 — Fake Clock *2025-04-04* Time does not update after installing the clock. Misleading and useless app. The time does seem to update on the stand by screen however not while the standby screen is opened. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! This problem was found only with Nixie clocks, we fixed it. We apologize for the inconvenience! ### 1/5 — Loses time constantly *2025-03-13* I have checked every setting available, and I cannot make this stupid thing keep accurate time. It just freezes on a time until I tap into it and then it will refresh. There’s no point in having it if I have to constantly monitor and fix it. I don’t want this for free, let alone $10. **Developer response:** Hello. We apologize for this error. We fixed it in the latest update. Please update the app ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2024-09-25, version 1.3.7* No seconds, couldn’t get it to display on Home Screen. I think you have to buy the premium for it to work. No thanks ### 1/5 — It doesn’t update the time *2024-08-26, version 1.3.7* No time update ### 1/5 — Дэмо *2024-05-17* Нет бесплатных виджетов , все за оплату ### 1/5 — Paid $10 for nothing *2024-04-02, version 1.3.7* Paid for this app and the clock doesn’t keep time or update even when tapped on. ### 1/5 — No analog choices *2024-02-07, version 1.3.7* This is dumb. Just big digital clocks for Home Screen. ### 1/5 — 使えないいきなり課金された *2024-01-14* 使えない ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-16* I found this app. It’s great. ### 5/5 — Super pandy paws digital clock *2024-11-10* I think that I like this background better than the others. ### 5/5 — cool *2024-08-02* very cool app get it today ### 5/5 — Nice App *2023-12-06* Nice app to have on my home screen. The lettering is large enough to see without being intrusive. Helps me to keep up with the time, the date and day of the week as well. All in one place. Love it. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for the feedback. May we know why the rating is 1? ### 5/5 — Awesome sauce *2023-09-28, version 1.3.7* Awesome service ### 5/5 — Clock *2023-08-03, version 1.3.7* Super please more clock. ### 5/5 — Clock Widget. *2022-10-08, version 1.3.7* Clock Widget-.
