The time is actually 5.28 but the digital time complication says 5:25 etc. ### 3/5 — 更新終わってるのね… *2025-09-28* Watch OS 26ではレーダー動きません 便利だったのにな…残念… ### 2/5 — Requires subscription fee! *2024-11-26, version 2.1.1* This app was recommended when I was just needing to add a complication to a watch face that simply opens Apple’s Workout app, because Apple did not include the Workout app in the list of items for a specific face. But, I could find nothing close to doing this within this app—yet people say this app can be used to create complications that will open Apple’s own apps. This app needs an overview that explains what it does because I sure couldn’t figure out. ### 2/5 — 41mmのapple watchでは使いこなせない *2024-05-14* ほとんどの機能が40mmと44mmのみ対応なので41mmでも使えるようにして欲しい。 ### 3/5 — Explainer video out of date? *2024-03-10, version 2.1.1* UI doesn’t match what’s available in the latest version of the app. ### 2/5 — Note understanding the app *2024-01-25, version 2.1.1* I loaded it then added what it showed but it stayed at 80 percent. Then would not load. ### 2/5 — Crash issues *2023-12-26, version 2.1.1* Crashes if you scroll too far down the list of complications ### 4/5 — Please add year complication *2023-11-17, version 2.1.1* 5 stars if you add a year complication or MM/YYYY complication or even Month/Year 🔥 ### 2/5 — Bitte deutsche Übersetzung hinzufügen… *2023-10-17* …dann wäre es perfekt! ### 4/5 — Developer response please? *2023-10-05, version 2.1.1* Love the app, honestly thought devs had given up on it since last update was 2 years ago, but did see they recently had one as of about 6 months ago so thank you devs! My question is, for text color as in if I make a complication with digital time, it allows you to set color for both the hour and minute. However, no matter what I set, it always only shows up white as both on my watch. Anyone know a fix? ### 3/5 — Abandoned *2023-07-06, version 2.1.1* Dev doesn’t seem to be actively developing new features or responding to user feedback/requests. ### 3/5 — Die Zeiger bewegen sich nicht auf dem Zifferblatt! *2023-06-17* Die Zeiger bewegen sich nicht auf dem Zifferblatt! Es handelt sich lediglich um Bilder ohne Funktionalität! verschwendetes Geld. ### 3/5 — Needs more updates *2023-04-20, version 2.1.1* Great little app, not as intuitive as it should be but most of all, no support for Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2023-01-13, version 2.0.2* The creator does a good job in building the app. However, the FAQs and video tutorial are not what I see in my AWSE. You can only set the complication for up to 11 hours. In my opinion this does not make sense. I tried following the video but again what you are shown at what is reality are different. When I select the app to add a complication, none are present in the drop down. The only option I have is to add a circle. Here again the FAQs do not help to solve these issues A+ for the app D for implementation D for lack luster support I will cancel my subscription and delete the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Watchsmit *2026-03-26, version 2.1.1* This is a scam. I cannot cancel. Do not get. ### 1/5 — Cannot add locations outside of timezone *2025-12-27, version 2.1.1* I live in China and when searching locations only places in China come up with- not very useful given that China is just one timezone. No way to add my home country ### 1/5 — Not sure what this app does. *2025-07-03, version 2.1.1* I tried to use this to add complications to the apple stripes face, which this app says it does. It doesn’t. It seems to only add complications that are ALREADY available on the apples faces in the watch app. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2025-06-22, version 2.1.1* Clearly a disingenuous developer. Beware. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2024-07-03, version 2.1.1* Very confusing and doesn’t do anything different then the iwatch app on your phone waste of time. The only difference is they made more confusing steps to do the same thing. ### 1/5 — No support—abandoned *2023-01-08, version 2.0.2* This is an abandoned app. Developer seems to have lost all interest. Cool idea, but doesn’t work and no hope of a big fix version. ### 1/5 — App no longer works correctly or at all. Developer seems to have abandon the app. *2022-11-06, version 2.0.2* This app has not been updated since 2021. The complications do not work, or are very buggy and slow. ### 1/5 — Support for the latest software version *2022-09-25* No Support Available iOS 16 ### 1/5 — Great Concept *2022-07-31, version 2.0.2* Great concept. I don't care about the UI but the functions need to work. Complications do not update frequently enough making them ineffective. Looks like the app is abandoned as well. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2022-04-03* Habe die AW7 und kriege es nie zum Laufen. Es wird immer nur eine Standardkomplikation angezeigt. Bin die ganze Hilfe durch, aber keine Besserung ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super useful *2026-04-13, version 2.1.1* Flexibility to make the most out of complication slots, still works for what I wanted in 2026. ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-04-04, version 2.1.1* Love. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-08-08, version 2.1.1* Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Perfect for my simple watch needs. I hate apples graphics. The simplicity of your complications a sublime! ### 5/5 — I thought I’d the perfect use for this (in my case) *2024-02-18, version 2.1.1* As someone who is trying to get their credit score up I’ve been trying to find an app that could display all three of my credit scores on the watch face Unfortunately this isn’t a feature but hopefully there comes a time where we can custom program our own stuff. Or maybe FICO will add it who knows ### 5/5 — bounce game broken? *2023-12-26, version 2.1.1* my kids pointed out the bounce game no longer works on their SE watches and it also doesn’t work on mine (wOS 10). the restart button and turning the crown doesn’t do anything. thanks for all the interesting bits in this app! ### 5/5 — 不错，不错 *2023-12-23, version 2.1.1* 不错，不错，如果能在一个solt里定时切换系统的和其它应用提供的complications就更好了。 ### 5/5 — Thank You for This! *2023-10-19, version 2.1.1* All I wanted was a nicely sized clock on the corner of my watch and this app delivered! UI could use a little work however. ### 5/5 — Great app! Needs temperatures in Celsius *2023-04-22, version 2.1.1* I’m using this app to show a simplified date in a corner, which is great. I’d also like to show the temperature in another corner, however it only shows Fahrenheit. Can you please also support Celsius? ### 5/5 — Hourly weather in the daily format please *2023-04-16, version 2.1.1* I love this complication but don’t use it because it’s by day and not hourly. I’m talking about the Infograph large btw ### 5/5 — The needle in the hay stack! *2023-01-19, version 2.0.2* This app truly is the needle in the hay stack, and by hay stack I mean the big pile of you-know-what that is other “Watch face apps”. Those apps only seem to be galleries of photos for you to make the photo face on. Every so often you find a well made face, but it’s rare. THIS app lets you take control of the capabilities your watch already has and make something truly your own, and the process couldn’t be easier. I took a Modular face and customized it quite to my liking, and now it’s a joy to look at my watch again. Don’t pass this app by. You may have found it while searching “Watch face apps”, at least try the free features and see how good it is. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
