### 1/5 — No good

*2025-05-28, version 1.0*

I can’t change the clock from 24 hrs to 12. I can’t change the unit of degrees on the weather. Even after paying for it. If you’re in the us don’t bother.

### 2/5 — Not working well

*2025-05-08, version 1.0*

It’s a great idea. I wish it worked well. I downloaded and in the first 5 minutes it crashed 4 times. It doesn’t read all my calendar items even though all calendars are selected. You can’t change order of widgets. It would have been better for me to hear my tasks before music bc I’d just go to sleep with music if I didn’t know what was happening that day. Also, temp in Celsius as only option? Hello? American market? Will be deleting the app.

### 1/5 — Awful…

*2024-06-24, version 1.0*

I had high hopes for this app but sadly is is awful. Every time I click on anything it closes the app. I have tried reinstalling it and everything but nothing works. I have requested a refund as a result

### 1/5 — Full of Bugs

*2024-03-06, version 1.0*

Purchased and had to delete as it kept closing when I tried to do anything, installed 2 mins later and tried to active my purchase but the only button that works is purchase it’s ridiculous sort your app out…

### 1/5 — Scam app asks for more money after install and news feed does not work

*2023-02-22, version 1.0*

Dont buy

### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work

*2023-01-31, version 1.0*

Love the concept but nothing I do can make it work.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2023-01-26*

This app is just awful.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2022-12-17, version 1.0*

App crashes often, alarm sound doesn’t work, music doesn’t work, not worth the money

### 1/5 — Needs work.

*2022-08-23, version 1.0*

First, it needs to give the temp in Fahrenheit as well as metric. You also need to be able to switch from military to standard time. 
Lastly, the tiles need to be movable do that if you wanted to listen to the music first, THEN give you the weather and traffic report.

### 3/5 — Can we get Fahrenheit for US users?

*2022-02-02, version 1.0*

And NON MILITARY TIME? Please improve or raise the price. I’ll happily pay! Danke!!
