### 1/5 — Found this with a search for scrensaver...

*2023-03-28*

...and bought it. But it does NOT function as a screensaver. :(

### 5/5 — Widget

*2022-10-20, version 2.0*

Can this app display on the screen lock ?

### 5/5 — Works on all my devices

*2022-06-02, version 2.0*

Buying this app on my iPhone, I automatically have access to it now on my Mac and also my Apple TV! Definitely worth $0.99

**Developer response:** Glad you're enjoying the app! Please send me an email at hey@willswire.com if you have any feedback or changes you'd like to see in future updates 😀

### 5/5 — Simple and Beautiful

*2022-02-16, version 2.0*

Love the app, also want to echo the want for an optional screensaver option :) But beyond that, it would be nice if the fullscreen mode could support true fullscreen for the new Macbook models with a notch. I'd like to have the image go all the way up to the top of the screen, around the notch.

**Developer response:** Hey Matthew! Thanks for your review. Although I’m still working on the screensaver feature, I can definitely get a quick patch update out for the notch. I totally agree with you - the image should come up around it. Thanks for the suggestion! 😁

### 4/5 — Nice time display

*2022-01-26, version 2.0*

I really like where this app is heading for the Apple TV.  It looks great.  I would have given it 5 stars if the time allowed you to choose the size and general location (top, middle, bottom, etc.) Also, the options are not working on the Apple TV menu?

**Developer response:** Hey Michael! Thank you for your review. The options menu should appear on the Apple TV when you do a long press on the Apple TV remote selector pad. Your feedback regarding customizable text size is something I am considering including an a future update. Please feel free to send me an email at hey@willswire.com if you have further comments or ideas you wish to share!

### 5/5 — Good Going!

*2022-01-25, version 2.0*

Something so simple...done right! Good on you Mr. Walker. Now, just need it to be an optional screensaver!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! Glad you like it :-)
