However, it appears the widget function is broken. I would pay a few dollars for the widget function alone. ### 4/5 — Needs an update! *2025-02-19, version 2.1.2* I love the way this app displays date. But it needs an update because it’s no longer possible to create a widget. ### 3/5 — I'm afraid it doesn't work anymore. *2025-01-15, version 2.1.2* It looks like it used to work, based on the reviews. I just downloaded it and it doesn't show as a widget. It's a shame. I don't memorize the date, and need to constantly look at it. But the date on the notifications screen is at the very top, so it's beyond inconvenient to use it (unlike my old samsung, and I wouldn't be surprised with all androids, where you just scroll down a little and take a peek at the date). I hope this great guy can update this app and make it work. ### 3/5 — Can’t find the widget *2024-11-04, version 2.1.2* iOS 18.1 can’t seem to have the widget anywhere. ### 3/5 — Lost widget in ios18 *2024-09-17, version 2.1.2* After updating to iOS 18, the today widget is missing. There is no option to add it back. I love this widget, especially for sinking how many clocks I have around my home, but this app hasn’t been updated in years. ### 4/5 — Great date &time *2021-10-12, version 2.1.2* Never understand why appl not telling you important info like this. I also wish an date insert in notes. And date on photos, or even even just file size ,date and more. I get “no details” bec I don’t want location. Weird.oct12,2021 5:12pm ### 4/5 — Hi *2021-08-05, version 2.1.2* Hi I like it wish I can change colour don’t like grey cheers ### 2/5 — Wish it showed date on app icon *2021-05-03, version 2.1.2* Not what I expected. First, i cannot add it as a widget. Second, I need an app that shows the date on top of the icon. ### 3/5 — Neat app, but widget is not available to add! *2021-03-01, version 2.1.2* Like the idea, reall like showing day of year and ordinal, but when trying to add the widget it is not in the list of available options. ### 2/5 — Not updated *2020-10-06, version 2.1.1* Not updated for latest iOS. Instructions for adding widget don’t work, unfortunately. Need a widget that shows the date. ### 2/5 — Cant place on Home Screen *2020-10-05, version 2.1.1* Great, but can’t place on Home Screen so if very limited value ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-03-13, version 2.1.2* Useless ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-08-17, version 2.1.2* Not able to use or add as a widget ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2025-05-04, version 2.1.2* This is just what I need, but unfortunately, it does not work. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-02-27, version 2.1.2* Does not show as a widget and the instructions don’t make any sense. It says to go to my home screen and swipe right until I see a search bar at the top to access to Dave view. Scroll down to the bottom and tap edit. Towards the bottom under more widgets tap the green plus button next to Date & Time. There is no swiping right on any home screen until I see a search bar and something about it today view. I have no idea what OS this was designed to run on, but clearly not the latest. ### 1/5 — Was Perfect *2025-01-20, version 2.1.2* Doesn’t work any longer, been 4 years since last update. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-04-22, version 2.1.2* Complete junk app. What a waste of time. It's not a widget at all and can't be used to display date and time on the home screens. If you have to swipe right to use the app there's little point. ### 1/5 — The Invisible App *2022-08-01, version 2.1.2* Downloaded it twice. Followed directions in the app and never found the widget. ### 1/5 — Nice, but… *2021-11-30, version 2.1.2* I like the app a lot, but your instructions for having a widget is inaccurate and just doesn’t work. Why not update the app for smaller widgets, still including everything that’s available ### 1/5 — Worthless *2021-07-16, version 2.1.2* “Add widget” instructions don’t work. ### 1/5 — False *2021-04-11, version 2.1.2* There is no widget. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — CountA *2025-07-06, version 2.1.2* Very clear clock face and time in numerical form as well. Just what works! ### 5/5 — A Lifesaver *2025-03-10, version 2.1.2* Works for me. I travel internationally so this app helps me out. I ♥️♥️♥️Ryan 🫶 ### 5/5 — Update Needed but still great! *2024-05-06, version 2.1.2* I have a few suggestions. Great app, please update it so the background on dark mode is pure black and add a bigger full screen. ### 5/5 — Simple and functional *2022-01-06, version 2.1.2* Does exactly what I need: display date and time on the widget. ### 5/5 — Brilliantly simple *2021-12-31, version 2.1.2* Thank you 🙂 ### 5/5 — THIS APP IS EXCELLENT! *2021-11-29, version 2.1.2* I recently purchased my first ever iPhone, an iPhone XR, permanently moving from Android to Apple. One thing that really, really annoyed me, and still does, is NO AM OR PM WITH THE CLOCK! THIS APP SOLVED ANY ANNOYANCES I HAD! Just wish I could add the widget to the Home Screen. That would be great but still love this app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-11-07, version 2.1.2* At first I couldn’t get it right. After a few tries it’s now my fav app. 😊 thanks! ### 5/5 — Awesome widget! *2021-09-19, version 2.1.2* Lovely looking widget and constantly on my widget screen. Gives a lot of information at a glance. My only request to developer is to make it accessible on Home Screen too. ### 5/5 — Good Job! *2020-11-26, version 2.1.1* This is a very good app because it allows you to have widgets on iOS 10 or higher ### 5/5 — Simple and complete *2020-06-20, version 2.1.1* Especially now in the age of home quarantine, coming up with a date off the top of my head was getting harder. I didn’t want anything flashy or complicated. I just want to be able to see what today’s date is without having to shut my phone down and go to the lock screen. I like the design. It’s simple and easy to read. And does everything I needed to do. The biggest problem with this app is that when I went to use the tip jar it did not work. I would like to pay this man for his work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
