### 2/5 — Doesn’t keep time

*2024-06-21*

What good is it if it doesn’t display the correct time? Have to reset it every time you want the correct time.

### 1/5 — Interesting

*2023-12-20*

For some reason this widget does not keep accurate time information the phone will show the correct time. The widget will be 10 to 20 minutes behind and will not update until you turn the phone off and turn it back on.

### 1/5 — Waste of £2.99 Don’t buy!

*2023-10-24, version 1.0*

Rarely shows correct time when checked, so what is the point? Very complicated to set up. I feel conned - and angry.

### 2/5 — Time? And date.

*2023-10-19*

Very disappointed with this app. Time is wrong more often than right. The whole point is to see the time at a glance, but the time is not right.

*2023-09-26, version 1.0*

Set up confusing.  But, then cannot get my widget to display.

The time does not update automatically. It’s always off be several minutes every time I look at my phone.

Time freezes sometimes

### 1/5 — Clock doesn’t work

*2022-11-15*

It was easy to customize the widget, slightly less easy to get the customized widget to mount but eventually did it…and the clock stayed at the time it was when I saved the customization.

### 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

### 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 🥸
