Ratings and reviews

So far so good. Will update my review if this loses functionality or adds ads... Hoping for some more recognizable literature but I've only had the app for a short time so maybe I just haven't seen any I know yet. And part of the reason I wanted a clock like this was to discover new books so that's OK. Way cheaper than the Author Clock!

I found this cool app via social media and I've been loving the book quotes it generates according to the time. A cool find for a bibliophile! 🤓 Suggestion: It would be great to have a lock screen widget as well so please do look into adding it.

Interesting idea except that the quotes themselves, apart from somehow denoting the time, tend to be from long expository scene setting sentences pulled from some random novel or story, but aren't otherwise remarkable or quotable. Probably there aren't nearly 1480 sentences that are both chronically distinct and really quotable in all of English literature. Maybe incorporating song lyrics would help?
