The app uses custom fonts created especially for this project,
to preserve the battery and to prevent the Android system from stopping the widget from working.

This widget was tested on many physical devices with no fail.
However, I cannot guarantee proper functionality on all devices.
If you experience any issues, please contact me before you post a review.
I am also open to any suggestions about new features you wish to see on this simple widget (a few of them found their way thanks to user's feedback, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have any ideas ;) )

If you want to try this app before you buy, you can find a Lite (free) version of this widget on the Google Play Store here:

Happy moments ;)

Ratings and reviews

It's really pretty and nice, but there is only one thing that really bothers me. 1. You can't open the full version of the build-in Clock app from the widget. It's allowing access only to the Alarm. So to access the stopwatch, timer and the world clock, you have to open the original Clock App. It means you have to keep using the original Clock App and can't rely only on this Widget.

Ok, so I decided to go for the Pro version. I like that you can change the color of everything from the different colours for hours and minutes down to the am/pm indicators separately. Good work. What I would suggest is to get option to save the settings for sharing with your friends or maybe set of colors for different occasions like Halloween or Xmas. Anyway good spent money. Keep going.

Have had this app (paid version) for quite some time and it looks great, but it no longer works correctly on new phones. Despite giving the app a deep sleep exception, the widget stops updating time. Tapping the minutes to show the date will force to show current time but does not progress. The blinking dots animation always shows, so the app is running. It does work flawlessly on my old tablet, but the widget has only one size which looks out of place on a bigger display.
