I used to use this app a few years ago because I loved all of the features like weather animation and real-time observations, but now the widget doesn't seem to work unless you force it to update by refreshing it all the time. In app works fine, I can see all the information working real-time, it just seems to be the widget not working. The time, weather and location on the widget doesn't update even though my settings ask it to. I really like this app, can you please fix?

All development seems to have been abandoned. With the most recent Android update, this widget no longer works properly. Follow-up: with the most recent Android update this widget now seems to be functioning properly again so I have increased my rating up from one star to three stars but I am not going back to my original rating of 5 stars because there is still a lack of developmental work from the makers of this widget.

The app is really good. The only thing that stopped it from getting 5 stars is the transparency. The background is transparent regardless of the setting on Note 10+. Works like it's supposed to on my old Note 4. FYI, for people having issues with the clock not updating, it's due to battery optimization. Turn that off for this app and it works fine.

Updated 15MAY2020: This once great app has not worked in over one year. The developer stopped supporting in early 2019. Today, the developer released an update and started to support the app again. It now works brilliantly! Hopefully it will continue go be supported. I highly recommend this over the stock Android clock and weather. I recommend purchasing the pro version to get rid of the ads. I have used this app for over 5 years. I have also purchased the pro (Unlocked Version). It has worked flawlessly and is one of my favorite apps. I have the clock and and weather widget on my home page. After the most recent update, the app has become unusable. None of my themes will load except an old HTC flip clock. The app does not show the current time. I have tried the battery optimizer fix that others have suggested and it seems to be working. However, I still cannot use any of the themes. Also, there are now ads! I have the paid version and I still have ads everywhere. I have sent emails to the developer and have not received a response. I will have to uninstall until the version is either rolled back or fixes are made. If you are thinking of purchasing this app, be warned, it does currently does not work. Find a different app.

I overcame the widget being put to sleep by my Samsung by altering battery options, i guess that's not the developers fault, but now it's showing a time that is 1 hour early. Other widgets and the status bar are correct. I suppose it's a timezone problem but can't find a solution so far. I'm also a pro owner, have found the widget useful over the years but not at the moment.

An amazing widget and app. Still, seems like it is not supported anymore,as it is unable to connect to the server and download widgets. Painful.
