| 2024-04-05 |  | | Unreliable, frequently wrong. I have two set, they should be 12 and 13 hours ahead of my time. But frequently when I check, they are incorrect, even an hour or two behind my time. The only way to get them back to the correct time seems to be to restart my phone. If I can't rely on them, I might as well not use them at all, since that's literally their only job. |
| 2024-01-14 |  | | This is a very dependable app that does exactly what it promises..it downloads/installs easily and has several ways to customize the widget to how you want it to look. I love this because it's nice to have my home country's local time on my home screen at all times, and it doesn't take alot of space to have it. I definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to know what time it is somewhere without having to do the math... Thank you for this app❤️ |
| 2023-11-22 |  | | Definitely a simple widget. It works excellent. BUT... After using a few days I've found that clearing cache or clearing RAM in my phone as maintenance also stopped the clock widget. There doesn't seem any editable features to eliminate it. No wonder there is a restart icon Highly customizable. No sweat making several time zones to monitor. It just works using Android 13 on Redmi Note 11. |
| 2023-06-25 |  | | I went through a dozen clock widgets and this was the only one that did what I needed it to do. This app will give you multiple 1x1 digital clock widgets with independent time zones. Just decrease the font size to 16 and it's perfect. On a side note, I'd happily give a few bucks to the developer for a premium version to show my appreciation, but the pricing on this app is ridiculous. |
| 2022-02-04 |  | | BE CAREFUL of this company! I installed the free version of the app but it did not solve the purpose I needed it for. A year later they charged my card 34.09 just 2 days after the trial ran out. But they never gave a notice that the charge would be made and they refused to issue a credit. Dozens of other free apps can do what this one does. Do not trust this one! |
| 2021-09-15 |  | | Used to love this app, as I could add a couple different clocks on the home screen for globalized work & family. But on Realme 6, UI 2.0, it's stopped working. Time doesn't get updated and it lags behind the actual time until I notice & manually update it. So it's serving no purpose now and without a fix I'll move to a new app. As other users, I've already tried giving background permission, removed battery optimization, and restarted phone. So far nothing helps. Would love a developer response! |
| 2020-06-24 |  | | Edit 24 June Padding issue is fixed, spacing is back, and it seems to be working better than it did when it was great in the beginning. Old review is below for reference. It's been working great for YEARS and after the last update, it's not allowing a name and time, WITHOUT the date. I used to have eight zones setup, and now the whole setup is taking up twice the space it used to. I'd imagine they'll get it fixed soon, but I wanted to mention it in case I'm alone. |
| 2020-05-10 |  | | Great idea, but it's buggy. The concept of showing multiple clocks from different time zones is awesome, but it keeps getting stuck. The date and time doesn't always update. I've been late on a few things because I was using the time displayed on the widget, but it was actually frozen. It got worse today. Now, it shows Sunday, May 2020 as the 7th. It's supposed to be the 10th. |
| 2020-01-17 |  | | I have been using this app for a long time but it has recently started showing wrong time for selected time zones / Standard / Advanced time. Lowering rating to 2 stars until fixed. I have clients in various time zones AND regularly need to program equipment in UTC as well as "standard time all the time". I have a home screen w/ various time zones & UTC widgets. This widget saves me a lot of time & embarrassment... |
| 2020-01-07 | | | Been using this app off and on for years and had no problems until recently. Something is keeping clock widgets from updating properly. I have disabled battery optimization and all the other options to put apps to sleep and clock widgets still won't update. This goes for all clock widgets (except the stock clock app), not just Simple World Clock Widget. I will research this and report my findings and hopefully a solution. Don't blame the app devs. It's your device that's breaking it. 👍 |
