I -watch.  I want my money back.    I hope it’s not charging me monthly

### 5/5 — Best for variety and EASE of use.🤩

*2019-12-31, version 2.1*

I am new with Apple Watch but this app made it easy to use and the variety of backgrounds is great.

### 4/5 — Loved this app in the beginning

*2019-11-29, version 2.1*

I still like using it but can you please bring back the overlays you took out? Where it separates the time from the background. Some backgrounds are too light and the time blends in with the background making it hard to tell the time.

This is a joke. Pay for this? Lol. I’m a chump.
