Comments on Spotlight Watch Face for Android

★★★★☆ Chris Brooker · May 26, 2016

Simple and elegant Love the simplicity of this watch face though it is difficult to read at a glance in full sunlight.

★★★★☆ Linus Brüll · Jul 25, 2020

This is one of the best rated, most creative and best-looking watch face out there, but I can't believe, that they just left it hanging for five years. In my opinion: Let users buy simple add-ons like the full watch face in ambient mode or different colors!

★★★★★ Lamaur Joseph · Aug 18, 2022

Please update to latest OS, just got a new smartwatch and this one won't download to it. This is my favorite watch face, and I get compliments on it all the time.

★★★★★ John Carbone · Aug 8, 2016

Simple and beautiful. Customizations are coming soon. Regardless, it's still an interesting watch face that takes advantage of a smartwatch face.

★★☆☆☆ Joshua Fox · Sep 8, 2016

Good face, but... But he said that customization is coming soon, but it's been over a year since the last update

★☆☆☆☆ Filipe Governa · Mar 19, 2021

Good watch face with exemplary permissions (none) and nice clean design, but no weather information, can't disable ambient mode or make it look like normal, doesn't vibrate hourly, poor support ("customizations" have been "coming soon" for 1+ year), and can't be automatically backed up and later restored by Android when setting up a new phone. Update (Mar 19, 2021): Stopped working, just says "Customizations coming soon...", no watch face available.

★★☆☆☆ Geoff MDB · Jul 13, 2017

Has potential, but it appears the developer has abandoned this app. Brilliant design and a shame they gave up on it. Only thing I'd like to see is a day /date and would gladly pay for this app. Shame is abandonware
