Ratings and reviews

Good but not as good as the native iPhone app it's mimicking, of course, despite having more customization options. Also costs at least $12, which is a bit pricey for an app. App does not always auto-launch when I put it on my charger. Also, my phone dropped from 100% to 31% in just over six hours of use yesterday and when I looked under the battery settings this app was the top offender draining the power. My phone only charged to 85% overnight on charger. Think app is to blame but can't prove.

I bought the pro version right off the bat, because they offered a discount. Then I found out it was difficult to set up and use. It pops over every other app when you put it on the charger. But the most annoying thing is that prior to midnight it displays the day (Wednesday) and below that, 'night'. Then after midnight hits, it changes to Thursday, and below that is still 'night'. Wed night does not lead into Thurs night! Wed night leads into Thurs morning.

Only for stars because nothing is perfect. This is an edit. I don't know what happened, but after uninstalling and reinstalling the app, the ads didn't come back. There are plenty of options in this app, up to four complications for larger devices. And options to choose from your own apps widgets, without being tied down to what's available within this app. kudos to this developer.
