    6/11/25 still no updates. still no Material color option. Still no day/night mode. Still old bugs! Edit 10/22/24 Still no update. No addressing of the issues. Original review follows: The current time is 12:06PM. The multi widget shows 12:06AM. The time widget has labels, Time: Date: Why?? There are no font options. No monospace , no options. Why can't I choose a colorized background? Kinda wishing I didn't buy this afterall.

    It does exactly what I need and I appreciate how simple and straight forward it is, but I feel like it's a little too simple. I'd like a few more customization options. Nothing drastic, but being able to choose from a few different monospace typefaces would be hugely appreciated. I like the old-school look of a seriffed, monospaced font monitoring stuff, but it does quite fit my "theme." Also, why can't we just enter an exact number for the width of progress bars, instead of only 10, 20, 50?

    One of the things I like about Android is that I can sit down and think of something I'd love for my device and be fairly certain that someone out there has had the same thought. Importantly, someone with the ability to actually design and execute the idea. This app is lovely, it fits in beautifully with my theme plan & looks extraordinarily cool on my homescreen. It's also very easy to use. Thanks to the developer.

    Great App! A few requests: 1. Can you allow us to display uptime only? (Not system time). I was only able to display uptime along with system time (taking up a valuable row of space) System time is redundant for many of us as our phones show this to us in the top bar. 2.When all parts of the multi-widget are disabled except mem, iSD, and network, the upload/download values are not right justified to match the % values of mem and iSD. Furthermore, these values appear to jump randomly left/right.

    I've had the pleasure of purchasing and using all this gentlemans apps, this is a first for me after using the android platform for ten year's. I find his style to be simplified and fills that yearning for a retro look and use, and as a plus the apps even work on my Chromebook, thank you for your great apps.

    Bought this for the clock widget as I thought the technical look would compliment my homescreen (which it does). I like the fact there's quite a few options for placement and size etc. All in all a very well put together set of widgets. Thank you very much

    The widgets no longer work after restarting my phone. Time sits frozen, and battery and memory show up as Null. It was fun while it lasted. EDIT: Launching the app from the app list made it work again. Thank you.

    I love this widget. It is simple, clean, low memory consumption, and best of all looks like BBC Micro, Commodore 64, you know retro. I do really enjoy that it has options for updates on usage, color, time, and etc. Update 0.30 STILL AWESOME
