Was the best choice for what I was after. However it crashes quite often on my Pixel 9 pro. Didn't have this issue for the first couple days so I decided to buy the full version. Now it crashes quite a few times a day. Kinda wish I wouldn't have bought the full version at this point. Thinking about uninstalling it and finding something better unfortunately.

Has it all & more! This app is awesome! I've tried literally dozens of night clocks & this is the only one that is perfect! It gives me everything I need and more! I used it one night & bought it the next morning! It has a choice of screen burn in protection, weather, color/font/size clock, auto start or not, battery, and an AUTOMATIC brightness control better than my phones control! Thanks for a ton of great nights! Sounds salacious doesn't it! ;)

Great features for a fair price. Would be fice stars but when im playing youtube music the media controls flash under the time for a second and disappear. I can quickly see an album art icon media controls and even thumbs up and down. Ive tried everything to get it to stay. Its pretty disappointing because it is an important feature for me. Edit: youtube music does not stop playing in the background. I would be happy to share a clip of the problem if you provide an email. Thanks
