The small problem with this is that just like the original, it doesn't support daylight savings, however as it takes the time from the system clock, when the hour moves forward it throws the world out of sync. It would be nice if Now could detect when daylight savings it in effect and move back an hour to compensate.

The world was off. It thought I was in the Eastern Time Zone. Could be just a DST issue. Fix, please.

Great implementation of the comic! But please support timezones with the x:30 offset.

It's would be great if you can expand what the widget can do. For instance, tapping will update the widget but double tapping will open an app.

Tiny size, "you are here" line, shows good design and good programming. Looking forward to more apps from this developer.

It displays the wrong time zone for my location (one hour ahead), but it is great other than that.

Works great, but it would be nice if it could open a custom app on click (eg. the Alarm app like normal clocks).

Please account for timezones that have hours + 30 minutes difference. From India it always looks like aligned with +0600 instead of +0530

My favorite of the XKCD Now widgets. The developer responded quickly and added the features I requested. The app is small, requires no permissions and is free. This app and Dev rock!

Best of the widgets. Allows a very visible "Current Time" line, resizable from 2x2 to full size, white background. Every feature you could want!

This would be great, that way I can treat this as the default clock on my device and open say the alarm clock app I am using and program my alarm clock from there directly

Should be vector. Looks bad when the widget is resized.
