### 5/5 — Simple Perfection

*2022-03-20, version 3.0.1*

Absolute simple perfection!

I have repurposed old phones and iPads as clocks…

…old phones mounted in bathrooms, and old iPads in bedrooms.  

When connected to charger, they never need winding. They also auto-adjust for Daylight Savings changes. 

Thank-you for a beautiful clock.

THANK YOU for making this Great App!!! I have used it to check the time whenever my glasses are off ever since I got it. Being able to see the time without my glasses is a big deal to me. Without my glasses I can only see a colorful blur, but I can see your clock. THANK YOU!!! 
Every chance I get, tell people about this App. Even people who have good eyesight. It's a great App & I want everyone to know about it. 
Again, THANK YOU for this Great App!!! I really do appreciate it!!!
