Ratings and reviews

It would be really cool, if it worked correctly. I love the look of it and once I figured out how the bits were being placed it is quite readable. For me, the widget only half works, however. When I go to my home screen, the time is almost always wrong, being frozen/stuck on some previously rendered time. Reopening the app refreshes the render, but it is quite annoying to have to open the app anytime I want an accurate reading on the time, and kind of defeats the purpose of having a widget.

Hands down the most attractive binary clock app I can find. Admittedly it took me a minute to figure out how the bits are arranged (I'm more used to BCD, and have only seen true binary arranged as two separate horizontal lines) but once I figured out which dot corresponded to which bit I actually found it quite a bit easier to read than any other true binary clock I've tried. The one and only gripe I've got with this widget is that the bits that are turned off - the difference in color between them and the bits that are turned on seem to be in a spot where maybe every 1 in 20 times I look at the clock I'll misread it thinking a bit that's turned on is actually off or vice versa. This is basically a roundabout way of saying I think in a future update it might be nice to be able to customize the color and/or transparency of bits that are turned off. It's a minor thing, I was going to only take a half a star off but it turns out Google doesn't let you use half stars so the 4.5 gets rounded up to a 5.

I would really like to use the app and it looks very very good but I cannot place the widget. When I try to place it I get into a menu to customize but every way I tried to leave the menu the widget disappeared. I pressed the home button, back button, power button, open apps button. But nothing worked. Is their something else I could try? Edit: I found it! Disable gesture navigation and press the back button to save the widget
