User reviews of Retro Clock Widget

I used to really like this widget but now it seems that the time and date doesnt adjust accurately anymore. My time is very often half an hour to 45 minutes late. That's a fairly useless clock if you ask me. [I like adding this to my home screen, even though it's redundant to the clock already in the top corner, this one is eye catching and simple to read. Just something nice to look at. Forecloses sometimes when I use my own home launcher though.] Prior thoughts on this widget.

Last update completely screwed up the aspect ratio on my LG G7. I used to be able to add the 2 x 1 clock only widget and blow it up one size to fit perfectly between 2 rows of app shortcuts on both outside edges of the screen. Now when I try that, it only centers the smaller clock widget, and doesn't blow it up one size. If this isn't fixed quickly, I'm going to uninstall and go with another widget for my clock. NOT happy! UPDATE, developer was very responsive and helpful, fixed in recent update.

No longer updates to correct time since updating to android pie. love the app and have been using for years but needs to be compatible with latest operating system. the time just remains stuck at the time you add the widget and stays stuck. have tried restarting the app or removing and re-adding the widget, clearing cache/settings, uninstalling & reinstalling but nothing makes any difference. please help!

Wow, you all get it! You realized that most other clock and clock/weather widget are stupidly designed - non-sizeable microscopic date and/or time and tap events on date/time that go to the widget's parent app (dumb), instead of a sensible app, like umm, like Clock! While there is no tap configuration here you have simply done the smart thing that 90% of users need. Simple yet so much more useful than the fancy widgets that look pretty but are really dumb on tap actions.
