### 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.

### 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。

### 3/5 — Some problems

*2021-05-21*

I Love the Features and the Widgets but the calendar widget can‘t change the date (I put it on my screen 2 days ago and it still shows the same date and time as back then) and when I change any Settings it changes to a black and green box until I reboot the entire phone. So they look quite nice but aren‘t really useful for me at that point.

### 3/5 — 誤差

*2021-04-16*

時計の秒とバッテリーのパーセントが違いすぎる。

### 3/5 — Not bad but...

*2021-02-27*

Battery charge percentage doesn’t refresh when charging, if you edit widget and toggle show battery level it refreshes. Toggle the other options in edit widget doesn’t appear to change anything.

### 2/5 — バッテリーの表示について

*2021-02-03*

バッテリーの表示が実際の%と違っている。変更されるのが遅いというイメージ。たまに全く変わらない時もあるので非常に困る。

### 2/5 — It doesn't reflect.

*2021-01-20*

I've been introducing you to install it this time. It's very good that the letters and colors are changed. But unfortunately, since it is not reflected on the body, I ask for that improvement. Thank you for your help.

### 4/5 — バッテリー

*2020-12-23*

めちゃくちゃ違いがあります。。
直してほしいです。。
それがきちんとなれば最高です。。

### 3/5 — 電池

*2020-11-27*

右上のバッテリーの表示のさせ方が分からない

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Thank you for using the Date Today widget!

If you want to see the mini battery icon in the widget (small/medium/large), press long on the current Date Today widget. And choose the menu item "edit widget". A new panel show up, and here you can toggle on the battery status.

### 3/5 — Battery level and time don’t sync

*2020-11-25*

This app is nice in it’s simplicity. Unfortunately, even after the last eat update and battery levels are often, if not always wrong - as well as time.

Some more font options would be awesome.

### 2/5 — Battery percentage

*2020-11-20*

Nice app with lot of customisations. But on the widget battery percentage does not work properly. Please fix it. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi there, Sorry you have had this bad experience. I take all the feedback very seriously. Have you tried to reset your Date Today settings. Also, do you use the latest iOS 14.2? If you need any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me at https://www.stefanvd.net/support and choose the topic "Mobile". I am happy to help you. Thanks,

### 1/5 — Does not work on apple watch .

*2020-11-06*

Annoying

**Developer response:** Hi there,

This is not an Apple Watch application. The description and the screenshot on the Apple Store show you that this is a unique widget to place on your home screen for iOS14.

If you need any further help, please let me know at https://www.stefanvd.net/support
I am happy to help you.

Thanks,

### 1/5 — Not working on iOS.

*2020-10-31*

Is this an app for IOS or not?  Apart for setting up cosmetics it doesn’t run on my iPhone. There are no instructions and the help section difficult to use. Cannot get it to show on screen. 
It was a complete waste of money Can you refund me please?

**Developer response:** Hi there,

Sorry you have had this bad experience.
Add a widget in IOS 14 is very easy.
1. Long press on your home screen.
2. And the top of your screen you see the "+" icon. Tap on this button.
3. Search for the "Date Today" widget.
4. Choose your favorite widget size. And tap to add the new widget to your home screen.

In the Date Today app you can customize all the colors. That from the hours, minutes, day of the week name, etc.

If you need any further help, please let me know at https://www.stefanvd.net/support/ and choose the topic "Mobile".

Thanks,

### 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.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Utterly without worth

*2022-04-08*

App sits on screen without providing date information.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Okay but my battery % doesn’t update

*2021-03-27*

My battery level won’t update unless I go into the app and open it then close the app again. I shouldnt have to do all that. Especially for a paid app. Wouldn’t have bothered downloading it otherwise

### 1/5 — Scam

*2021-01-30*

This app is scam the battery percentage never change on it own never you have to keep on open this app every sec so you can actually see your battery percentage you paid for nothing

### 1/5 — Batterie ne change pas automatiquement

*2021-01-13*

Le widget:le pourcentage de batterie ne change pas automatiquement ,il faut que j’ouvre l’application pour que ça change

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2020-11-14*

Widgets are buggy. Newly introduced battery indicator on widgets is broken after 14.2 update. Transparency in widgets does not work as expected (still remains broken for large and medium widget)
Edit: Battery widget still lags the original iOS battery widget all the time. Need to restart the phone to update almost every widget, otherwise they are off date/time/battery etc. Sent multiple emails to the dev but no response.

**Developer response:** Hi RavishC,

I see no emails from you here. Please contact me at https://www.stefanvd.net/support and choose the topic "Mobile". I am happy to help you.

Thanks,

### 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

### 5/5 — Best app

*2020-11-15*

I love this app

### 5/5 — perfect widget!

*2020-11-04, version 1.0.13*

I was looking for something that did date and time and battery level all in one small widget and this tool provided it. I am pleased with how it looks and if I could actually had a picture here I would.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!
Yes, you can add a picture as background. Open the Date Today app on the settings page, and scroll down until you see the topic "Background". When you select this menu item you can choose to place your favorite picture. But also the option for a gradient background, and transparent widget effect.

### 5/5 — Battery gone

*2020-10-15*

After the recent update the battery display is gone from the widget, no matter what I try, it won’t show up in the widget.
Kindly fix this, thanks

Edit: I’m dumb, thanks for the reply dev, it’s visible now, keep up the good work (:

**Developer response:** Hi scube27,

You can show the battery icon back in the widget, if you press long on the widget itself, and enable the switch to show the battery icon.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-09-27*

Everything cool and works fine but please remove the widget labels from the homescreen widgets.

### 5/5 — 还是有个问题

*2020-09-25*

更新之后可以用英语了，但只是设置页面变了，放在桌面以后还是中文，这跟没改有什么区别

**Developer response:** Hi there,

In the Date Today app version 1.0.3 you can change it back to the English language. When you open the Date Today app, on the bottom of the settings page you see a big blue button to "Choose your language".
