User reviews

Umm…hello?

Don’t waste your time downloading this, because it doesn’t do anything….?!?!

Waste of time thus far

I’ve tried every possible option to load this do nothing app on my iPhone & Ultra. After switching default mode in language options to English…NOTHING. THE WATCH INSTRUCTS YOU TO DOWNLOAD ON PHONE. THE ORANGE COLOR ROUGHLY APP doesn’t even appear on watch. I’ve deleted numerous times & reinstalled. Waste of time for hours.

Love this complication

Exactly what I was looking for. I wish I could turn off the clock on Apple Watch and show this complication instead. (Not the app’s fault! A limitation inexplicably imposed by Apple)

Плохая русская локализация.

Добавили русский язык. Это определённо радует. Но исполнение могло быть и лучше. Пока что это выглядит очень сыро.
К примеру, время 15:10, а на экран выводится «примерно десять третьего» (а должно быть «десять минут четвёртого», как вы понимаете…). Нужно исправлять. Наймите хорошего переводчика, что ли.
Исправите русскую локализацию - будет 5⭐️.
