Ratings and reviews

Martin Kalra! I saw your disappointment and may have a fix. in later versions than Android 12, you need to allow permissions for music and photos. When the Change Settings message pops up, go into permissions and notifications. Have never seen that before. Other versions just ask you to allow permissions and you click the allow button right there. I just installed and running fine on my S21+ and my Samsung A53, just out last year.

Brilliant app to keep a watch on the time. Brings me so many great memories when I had a 1980s Casio watch. Currently using wrist watch beep-beep you can guess. Very good help and technical support from the developer.

Would rate much higher, but since I upgraded to Samsung s24 ultra the app only works sometimes. Is it compatible? Thanks for your response. Actually, the problem was with my setup and now the app is working fine.
