### 1/5 — Not reliable

*2026-04-16*

The time is always off! It starts out ok and then minute by minute it stops keeping correct time. I do not recommend this widget

### 3/5 — Slow to update !

*2026-01-12*

Never seems to be updated, always a few minutes difference, unless you open the app. Otherwise very clear.

*2025-11-24*

### 2/5 — Wrong time

*2025-09-26, version 1.0*

The widget does not keep accurate time

### 1/5 — The main reason don’t even work

*2025-09-23*

The main reason for this is to tell time what is the sense of purchasing this if the time is of 3-15 minutes,horrible and doesn’t explain well enough how to use and create ,when u change colors and decide not to u can’t back up u have to pick a color ,also the way u have to pick overlapping dates with time is also dumb,don’t get me started on the time being displayed with the minutes under the hour 🥸
