Great app. Would love if some of the widgets were able to toggle in and off rather then opening the settings. Seen people complain about the clock not updating or the weather not updating, but it might be that they have to have a look at the settings, as its possi le to not update those when the screen is off.

App still work with latest Note 10+. Go to settings> Device Care > Battery>Usage by Apps. Find and click on HD Widgets. Turn off "Put App to Sleep". Clock updates and the app works great. Booya!

Was a 5 star review ! IVe Been using this app for Many years now, all of a sudden it will not work anymore??? All i get is a spinning circle like it's trying to reload but never does! If i delete it and replace it it goes onto home screen but will never change time or weather or anything else! Eventually it disappears and the circle starts spinning again!!! Fix it!!! Years and years and galaxy note 3 to note 9 worked S6,S7,S9 no problem now it's junk!
★★☆☆☆
I give up. Time is incorrect again and if I restart my phone the widget just spins until I open the app. Now the clock is wrong and won't fix it. I just got the Note 10 plus and it still does it... Uninstalled
★★☆☆☆
On my Note 10 phone it claims this app uses high battery and wants me to put it to sleep, but I never put it to sleep because i don't want my time to be off, but it seems to be off anyways by one min. Please fix this bug. Great app but they need to to offer Android 10 like widget styles. And we need a 5 x 3 widgets too please.
★★☆☆☆
Note 10 plus clock widget does not update. Only changes time when you turn screen off and back on again
