Ratings and reviews

The clock keeps hanging up on the wrong time. Constantly having to move off home screen and re-add. Too bad this app developer has abandoned it. The app itself is unique and alone with all of the user definitive abilities. If it stayed with device time, it would be the absolute best app on my device. I still keep it, and reload it every few days, simply because I love the look of it.

Unfortunately this widget is all but unusable now. It used to only occasionally freeze and a quick restart would fix it. Now, it will completely freeze and the only way to fix it is to remove the widget, put a new one on, replace the settings to whatever you had it, only for it to freeze again in a few day or hours. Fix this please! It is easily the best looking nixie clock for a phone I have seen, I do so wish to be able to use it. Fix the problems and a high review is quickly back.

This is a really nice detailed old school Nixie tube clock. It has a very realistic cold cathode tube like appearance with the characters in the classic shapes. Fantastic. Love the way it looks and how it can be sized, choice of tint, seconds if you want, date in text below the clock if you want, nice looking wood background if you want. Love it.

What's new

Fix the "frozen widget" issue on some devices. Also, the Deluxe version now has high resolution nixie tubes !
