About Advanced Clock Widget

Small (<200kb), fully configurable and extremely battery efficient WIDGET with clock, weather, battery status, world clock, uptime, network status and much more. Please please please read the description before giving a bad rating! For ANY question or issue send me an email. I cannot reply to comments! If you like the widget please rate it.

PLEASE:
- Exclude this from your task killer if you have one
- DO NOT move to SD! Widgets are not working on SD (they will disappear at reboot!)

FREE/PRO FEATURES:
- Digital clock
- Customizable fonts and colors (for transparent bg set alpha to 0!)
- Multiple layout templates
- Battery status (with time remaining)
- Network operator / WiFi network name
- World clock with timezone support (just add multiple widget and set manually weather/location in the options)
- Current location, date and uptime
- Current and tomorrow weather with low/high, sunrise/sunset, pressure and more
- Next alarm

PRO ONLY FEATURES:
- Click actions with direct alarm setup
- Save / restore settings
- Fully customizable text areas (you can use ANY text, like "current battery temp is #BATTTEMP#")

FAQ:
- I WANT TO OVERLAP LIKE SCREENSHOT: select template "left right" then text settings and increase "big font size" to more than 80 pixels. The clock will overlap. You then need to change clock colors to obtain the look of the preview.
- I WANT A TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND: set main color alpha to 0
- I WANT MORE TIMEZONES: add more than 1 widget
- I DON'T WANT THE LAUNCHER ICON: sorry but starting from HONEYCOMB this is mandatory otherwise you will not see the widget in the widget list without a reboot.

UPCOMING FEATURES:
- More sizes 2x1 and 4x2
- Next calendar event
- More templates

PERMISSIONS:
- ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION / LOCATION: used for weather/location
- INTERNET: used for weather updates
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE / ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: used for network operator info / WiFi info
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: used for backup to SD (PRO only)
- BROADCAST_STICKY: again used to get WiFi state, this is needed due to a ICS bug

A good widget with pretty decent customisations. Been using it for last four and a half years and i still rely on it. Needs to be fixed though. When i use shadow for the main clock and increase the size, the shadow shows edges and it makes the whole thing look ugly. A fix would be hugely appreciated. Also, time to add some more templates. M bored of using the old ones. And i dont wanna install Zooper app. Its not what i like. Zooper is way too funky. Not.my types.

I've had this for years on both my phones, it was great, i had to take the temp off. 1 is stuck in 57 degrees & the other is 41 degrees.(currently 90) & location doesn't change anymore. i tried manual update but it starts & instanly stops. I mainly use it now for the time, battery & memory free

This is my favorite clock widget and it disappeared from my phone one day. I tried to install it back but it keeps saying insufficient storage?! I have plenty of space though! :(

S70%
by S####:

I use Sony Xperia z, the problems that I found are: When a field is removed, it is getting disabled but not removed. There is an empty space in place of that field which should be removed. In some templates, if in a area the location,week, full date and temperature is selected, then some text goes missing.

It really looks great and i love every bit of it.. until i found out the the time never shows the right one... its no used anymore... its like a porche car without a wheel.... gotta uninstalled

Weather stopped working even on my new phone. I don't understand why it FC's all the time. Removing from go-to and moving to run-from. Dev if you read this please look into it. Thanks

Q70%
by Q####:

Tons of customization options and extra features including options to show weather, RAM, battery etc. Works great without using a lot of resources. To the ppl complaining about the location/timezone being wrong: YOU CAN MANUALLY CHANGE THESE THINGS IN THE SETTINGS! All of the problems I've read about in the ratings could be fixed in 2 seconds if these ppl just went into the widget's settings & changed the defaults. Also, task killers kill tasks (like widgets) so whitelist this from ur task killers.

I have given up. Too many other time /weather apps out there that seem to have working location and weather settings. I am uninstalling. I am no longer frustrated. Samsung S3

L70%
by L####:

The clock's shape makes the widget ugly and hard to work with at times. Apart from that, it's decent for a free app.

Z70%
by Z####:

(Sorry if my english so bad.) It's so simple and smart. But can free user to add text on line 5 or other? Text like for phone owner name. Thanks.

J70%
by J####:

Clock configuration is limited to some predefined settings (e.g., even selecting 24h mode, it still shows the am/pm text, because that's part of all placement configurations). Clock has no seconds display option. Placement of items (clock, battery, connection status etc.) is all predefined, without option even to choose what to display on each field or to disable some unwanted item.

What's up with the weather? Doesn't work. I like the look, it's clean, simple. But would like to set weather. :(

Was using it since android 4.0 and recently changed device from the one running jellybean to one running lollipop. It screws up clock, always stuck at the time before screen went off.

by C####:

My favorite clock by far, but lots of bugs since last update. Especially weather/location is useless now, please fix as it should be easy

Y70%
by Y####:

The location and weather said " not available" one day. When I enter in my location into the settings, it says "not found!" When I choose "use location timezone", it screws up the time to 4 hours later. I can't figure out why this is happening. I'm in California.

Great widget, shows important stuff in a compact space. I like adding battery, WiFi, sunrise & set. Weather seems to lag a lot. Customize colors and fonts to suit your home screen. I use 1 local & 1 Zulu. Mess with templates & fonts to get what you like. I'd like more templates & ability to choose time zone without setting location, toggle fetching weather off completely. I choose manual interval. Would like additional sizes would be great, 4x4, 3x2, etc., shadow on small text & add stroke outline too.

T70%
by T####:

Why does it show my time 6 hours ahead of what the time actually is? Nevertheless, the clock looks beautiful. Could use some UI tweaks to make it look more modern though.

Y70%
by Y####:

It would appear that zuppa inc has left the building. Don't waste your time with this app cause they aren't supporting it any more. Clock doesn't show the right time, location settings don't work at all, weather settings no longer work. They keep saying it's all fixed but nothing has been fixed in a while. When they do respond to a review, it's just a generic response. It doesn't appear that they're even reading the reviews. This app and this company are crap.

M70%
by M####:

It used to work great and I found it very useful. However it is now broken. The location, weather and sunset/sunrise times will not sync. Even if I try to manually set the location, it says it cannot find it... can't find New York, Toronto nor Washington... what gives?! I will be deleting this widget for now as it's more misleading than anything.

I have used this app for years but now I can't get it to find weather location

M70%
by M####:

But the app itself is great. I've had it for years and this is the first problem I've come across. It can't find any city in the configuration. I thought maybe it was just my small town so i tried big cities like nyc and sf but still nothing. Still a great app otherwise and I'm sure they will be fixing this blip soon ☺

Near perfect, just needs an update to enable ACV for lockscreens.

by M####:

Looks great but keeps forgetting to refresh so the time is always wrong most of the time. Only updates if you click the widget and then come back out. Love this app but a time widget needs to show proper time..

Y70%

Location is always empty. Weather forecast also says something like "not available". It is also not possible to enter location manually, even major US cities cannot be found.

very confusing at first glance. MANY choices. too many but looks good when put togther.

Loved the look, but after displaying the correct time on setup, the clock never changed. It would be right once a day, but I don't need it just for decoration. I'm bummed.

Just installed it. Might take up more background processing cycles if what my phone's power management system shows. Let's see how much is battery consumption over the next week.

Time shown was incorrect, when check for location there is no time shown. All countries are different by 23 hours. please fix. otherwise its a fantastic app.

Even if searched and check state or country shown, incorrect timezone is displayed in widget
