I've been using this widget for years. It's clean, has many possibilities and is super adjustable. But there's 1 thing I'm missing: Calendar options in the layout possibilities. There's a plethora of options throughout the categories, but calendar is still missing. (Sadly weather also doesn't work in the latest update :'-(( ) This forces me to resort to oa the Transparent Calendar which sadly is not very adjustable, which makes it incompatible with light backgrounds (bc. text colour = white)

Great app. I use it on my home screen to display date and time, in a unique format. Sadly, the developer may have abandoned this app.

It's awesome but crashes a lot lately. Also, weather will start saying unknown or it won't update until I force update through the app global settings. I love the app and would easily give 5 stars if not for the glitches. I really like text based clocks and battery levels.

Paid for the pro version for the export/import feature which didn't work for me. Doesn't work in the paid version either (android 10)

This app is near perfect. I just wanted to display current weather on my screen, without a bloated weather app running behind it. Not only is this app small on storage space, but it runs on minimal RAM. The only thing that did bother me was choosing the size of the widget BEFORE picking what would go in it, with no apparent resize option. It took 3 tries to pick a widget that would fit my needs, having to start from scratch each time. Otherwise, this is everything I could have asked for.

Great app, beautiful integration with Tasker, but will not export, even with paid version.
