Do you rely on your mobile phone and always want to pick up your mobile phone? Put your plan on the table! Using "desktop list", you can make plans and lists into dynamic lock screen wallpaper, or group pieces on the desktop (couple plan, fitness plan, memo, etc.). There are two modes of "Widgets" and “Live Photo": ** desktop widgets ** Small components with rich functions and the most complete variety provide you with the most powerful small component functions (the system needs to be no less than ios14, and HealthKit needs to be used to show your daily steps): ● desktop notes Put important reminders and to-do items on the desktop and remind them at any time; ● Desktop Photo Frame Be able to place your favorite photos on the desktop and select photo frames; ● quick start Call, text, email, scan, payment code, car code, bookkeeping book and other shortcuts, support user-defined quick start, and click one button on the desktop directly; ● countdown Help you record important days in your life, and time reminders, such as birthday, appointment, party, Christmas, new year, shopping festival, Spring Festival, competition, business trip, travel, vacation, examination, meeting, etc; ● step target You can set the daily step target and always pay attention to the exercise health index; ● cumulative days Check the anniversary, such as love, marriage, quitting smoking, drinking, achievement, graduation, beginning, etc; ● weekly mood Set the daily mood to view the historical mood; ** lock screen Live Photo ** Generate dynamic wallpaper and set it in the lock screen interface. Press it to display the plan content. If you don't press it, it is an ordinary wallpaper, which does not affect the appearance and is very convenient Note: If the device needs to support 3D touch, please turn on [live photos] and then turn off [View zoom]. Due to system limitations, after setting the lock screen wallpaper, it will compress about 30% of the pixels Production function: you can customize the background picture, font color, size and so on Conclusion: If you have any comments or suggestions, you can email me: kevindcw@163.com If the effect is not ideal and you want a refund: click App Store - > click the avatar in the upper right corner -- > then click the avatar to enter the account setting -- > click the purchase record, find the app, click the total bill, click the app icon - > click the report problem and select refund

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MD Clock at 4.6 against Desktop List's 3.0. MD Clock also leads on ratings volume (6.6K vs 1). Desktop List's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Desktop List sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MD Clock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MD Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MD Clock has 6.6K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
