### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money or time

*2025-12-07*

App doesn’t work as shown. I wanted a small square icon with the name of the week and time written. I did not want a digital clock and I did not want a large bulky icon that takes up a huge part of my phone. The only icons that work are the digital icon in various colors. The app won’t allow you to select the various options. It seems like a circular issue. You try and select but it won’t allow you to add what is selected.

### 1/5 — dissapointed

*2025-08-22*

i wanted a permenant on screen date and time but this one is in the notification centre.  so i spent three bucks for something that apple already provides in the notification centre already.

### 5/5 — Alright - can't keep the colour constant

*2024-07-16*

Colour changes from what you want, when dragging it, to what you don't want when you stop dragging.

Can't change fonts in themes

### 1/5 — dissapointed

*2024-05-06, version 1.0.19*

i wanted a permenant on screen date and time but this one is in the notification centre.  so i spent three bucks for something that apple already provides in the notification centre already. sheesh!

### 3/5 — New update is much better but…

*2024-02-28*

The battery status always shows charging even when the battery is not even plugged in. In the time day date display you always show 24 hour time. In North America this is very unusual. We use 12 our time as you do in your other displays.

### 4/5 — Interesting app, but where’s the 12 hour time option?

*2024-02-22*

I like the app and its ability to show multiple panels of time, time plus day and date or calendar. However, I would like the option to show time in 12 hour format and to show time only without the seconds being displayed.

### 1/5 — Utterly without worth

*2022-04-08*

App sits on screen without providing date information.

### 3/5 — Nice app but need an update

*2021-09-29*

Hi there,I just downloaded the app is really nice ,only issue what I can see is that the battery percentage is not accurate with the real percentage .Shows sometimes with even 30% more or less than the real battery percentage.I don’t know why I hope you will update and solve this issue Otherwise is nice ;) Thanks Some update after 1 month of use Is very slow is not accurate at all even the date ,I need to wait 3-4 minutes to be accurate I’m disappointed

### 2/5 — 時間がズレて表示される

*2021-09-22*

時間を表示させたくてこのアプリを入れたのに、時計の時間が1分ズレています。

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2021-09-08*

Notice I didn’t say don't waste your money. Other apps may also charge you for their use, but at least you’ll get some real customization there. 

Honestly what irritates me the most is the widget crashes itself when you try to use a transparent background with anything larger than the smallest size, but I was already regretting spending time “customizing” this widget when I realized it locks you into the specifics of the design.
