Really would love to give 5 stars if temp updated

UPDATE - works on newer iPad but not on older version. Developer reached out for details and they created a fix and update! Great response and effort by them. Kudos!!

This app is great to turn and old iPad into a clock. I would have given 5 stars if the settings held. I really want to turn off the seconds and plug in warning. Other than that, it looks great and is perfect for my needs.

Not worth anything higher than a one star without a widget

Great way to use the old iPad 2 that can’t be updated beyond iPad OS 9. Makes for a nice, big numeral click that I can see at night without glasses. Well done interface. Does what I need without needing to log into an external site or someone keeping track of my device. Free to use, but I’d gladly pay to support the developer.

I like it, but the newest version keep crashing on my ios9.3.5 old iPad. Could you please help out? Thanks a lot! I use the iPad as a hanging wall clock with weather. It has been a cool thing

There are so many things I like about this clock. 1. Big easy to read numbers. My vision is 20:15, but when you first wake up, it takes a minute to focus. That’s not a problem with this clock. 2. Snoozing. On other clock apps and Alexa, the snooze button is a very small area. On this clock app, the whole face is the snooze button. Many clocks have a fixed snooze time. This app gives you a wide choice of snoozing times, and you can customize them for each alarm. 3. Compatibility. I use this on my iPhone 12 as my alarm clock. I also have it on a very old iPad with the inch wide connector. This is the only digital clock I could find that still runs on it. I use this as a wall clock in my ham radio shack/office. It’s a nice way to repurpose an otherwise useless piece of tech. 4. Weather. It nice to see a synopsis of the weather for the week. One thing that bugs me. If you have the weather showing, the current temperature does not seem to update. It may be something in my setup, but it happens on my all my devices. If you close it and restart it, it does update the current temperature.

This app works well but has two problems that I frequently encounter: 1. The brightness settings don’t hold. I usually keep the display dim, but it frequently changes back to the brightest setting, which is disturbing when it suddenly lights up a very dark room. 2. The location of the menu and the spacing of the menu items are very close together, especially if you have large fingers. Plus the “Done” button at the bottom of the settings is too close to the bezel of a phone.

Alarm doesn’t work unless the phones plugged in! Not always an option, especially off grid!

Update: The weather feature is fixed and works GREAT! This is an excellent clock app for the living room or night stand.
