This is the new version of the 3Cats Clock with Seconds. It has been fixed and now the widget works on every device reliably and with minimal resource usage. Long-tap to resize the widget, the text will not change size but it will be centered.

* Do you know the difference between an Icon and a Widget?
If your widget seems too small, doesn't work or you can't change the colour, double check that you're really adding the Widget and not an Icon on your home screen before rating 1-star!
** Clock Widget falls behind or stops?
Maybe system is killing it for "battery optimization". Try the "Keep Alive" option.
*** Clock Widget still falls behind or stops?
If 3Cats Clock must run at all cost, try the "Foreground" option. It will use a Foreground Service with Notification.

Ratings and reviews

It was working perfectly with my previous phone, which was running Android 4.4. However, I had to upgrade to a new phone that is running Android 10, and this app and its widget now stop updating the time display until something "triggers" it, such as tapping the widget to launch the app, or rotating my phone to landscape mode (which triggers the widget to resize). Since my new phone has an option to display seconds with the built-in clock, I am uninstalling this app.

Fantastic & very useful little widget that I place front & top center on my Pixel 3aXL! I even sync my watches to it's convenient accuracy. Highly recommended. Grateful for the developer's contribution & creativity. Edit: glitch freezes clock on Android 12 devices. Constantly having to cycle the "blink" function to restore function; destroys usefulness... Please fix it?

I got this app for a digital seconds display and it does the job perfectly. Android says it uses too much battery but I have no problem with it. It does freeze now and then which I wish it wouldn't but flipping it to landscape and back starts it again. I'm looking forward to the next version that will fix this little bug. If it gets fixed I would give it 5 stars but even if it doesn't it's usable and the price is right.
