### 4/5 — Has more date formats

*2026-03-28*

Allows custom date formats from an app on Apple
Watch.

### 5/5 — Great little AW app

*2025-10-11*

Very customizable, much better than built in date complication. Well worth small cost. One suggestion… customizable font sizes??

### 1/5 — This needs updating!

*2024-11-16, version 1.6*

No longer works on iOS 18!

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2024-10-02, version 1.6*

It’s not a bad app… but seems like the app Monthday solves my problem already, which is free.

Brought this to see if there is any special features that might be useful. But doesn’t seem like so.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2024-08-08, version 1.6*

This is exactly what I was looking for. If I could have finer control over font size and individual word colours as well as leaving one line blank it would make it even better!  Thank you for making this. 

Could you please make a simple weather complication?  I hate apples version. I would love a simple current temperature in the middle with high and low above and below it. 

Well done!  Keep the complications coming!

### 4/5 — Font for YYYY-MM-DD is too small on Modular Duo

*2024-07-06, version 1.6*

Appreciate so much to the Developer for putting up the ISO format - I am an engineer that heavily need ISO date format that free me and my team from ambiguity of various locales. So, thank you for putting up this date format for me to glance.

I wear Apple Watch Ultra, with Modular Duo with its large place for the date section. 

If you could please make an update for increased font size, or customized font size, to nicely fit the Modular Duo large date display, that will be a FIVE STAR review. 

Just because it displays a too little small font amid large section on the Modular Duo, the display date could have been much esthetically better.

Nevertheless, thank you so much for putting up great effort. Please release an update for this font size custom, or at least an option to select larger font for: YYYY-MM-DD then I will update the review to 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Limits

*2024-06-08*

What if I just want 1 line?

### 5/5 — Very useful but small tuning is better

*2023-12-01*

Very good and useful overall, just really want a bit zoomed in, like 3 lines design for one digit each, as well as bold text that follows system, also fix the week day digit would be nice.

### 5/5 — Lesbares Datum

*2023-08-26*

Endlich eine Datums-Anzeige, die gut lesbar ist!

### 1/5 — 不行

*2023-07-03*

手机上找不到，手表上也找不到，钱倒是扣了，啥玩意？？
