About Retro Clock Widget

Now customize style and shortcuts with the Retro Clock Settings app, for sale on Google Play!

Retro Clock Widget was one of the first clock widgets available for android and has been downloaded by millions of users over the years. Version 2.0 brings many improvements, while keeping the simplicity that made it famous.

This app provides a home screen clock and date widget based on the classical mechanical flipping clock. The widgets act as shortcuts to the systems alarm clock and calendar applications.

When you want to customize the look and feel (like the colors, transparency, or shortcut applications), you can do so using the Retro Clock Settings companion app also available on Google Play.

To use the widget on Android 4.0+:
- open the app drawer
- tap the "Widgets" tab
- find Retro Clock / Date and drag it to the home screen

To use the widget on older versions of android:
- long press an empty spot on the home screen
- select "Widgets"
- tap on Retro Clock / Date to add it to the home screen

NOTE: If you are using a Task Manager, make sure to add Retro Clock Widget to the ignore list. When the app is killed, the time will stop updating.

Utility and design

I like the look of this widget a lot, however my virus scanner indicates that there's a Trojan named "a.gray.andrsca.f" in this app. The creator quickly helped me solve the issue. Turns out it is just click bait from the tencent, makers of WeChat and QQ, trying to make people install their versions of virus scanners. It is not part of the app as long as it's downloaded from the play store. I assure everyone this app is clean and safe to use. It does not require any oddball permissions and functions just as well as it's supposed to.

I installed this today and added the widget to my home screen. It was showing the time correctly for one or two hours. But after that, the widget just freezes and doesn't update time. Pretty sad really. Please fix this soon else time to uninstall soon. FYI, I'm using Redmi 3s Prime.

After several years, we still use retro clock & date. Perfect for our phones since day 1. Unlike so many others that need permissions & want to invade privacy. We have Retro on all our phones.

Works pretty well, been using it for a while now. Yet, after the last update the clock shortcut freezes and won't work. Please fix!

Q70%
by Q####:

I've used this app across multiple phones for years. The last update made it stop working completely on my galaxy S7 edge

Q70%
by Q####:

Really great widget but as others have said. After the last update the time on the clock gets stuck and does not update to the current time

Q70%
by Q####:

I have been using this click for a while now and I really like how low key it is yet stylish. It fits my home page pretty well and for once I didn't find the urge yet to change it despite how fickle I am. Hopefully they will expand this app to accommodate more colours than just gray cuz that would be the bomb diggety!

U70%
by U####:

I've been using this widget for several years, and it has always been simple and awesome-looking. In the last few months, however, it has developed this thing where it will freeze and stop updating the time. It'll literally be saying 11:08 am and I'll check any other clock (including the one in the notification bar on the same phone) and find that it's 5:00 in the evening. I've only found two ways to make the widget show the correct time again: remove and replace it, or restart my phone. This is dumb and defeats the purpose of an otherwise well-designed piece of programming, so I hope you fix it quickly.

Been using this for years, but on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 it is never accurate. Sad because this is my favorite widget.

Q70%

Tapping on the date opens the calendar. Tapping on the hour does nothing. Lenovo Vibe P1

Since the last update it doesn't show accurate time. Would 5 star otherwise as it's pretty cool

Has always worked great for me. Now on LG V20, widget stays much smaller than the space it's allowed. Please fix!

I70%
by I####:

Great simple app that is clean and functional. Love that the date launches calendar. The clock doesn't launch my system clock on One plus 3t. Would be awesome if it launched any default system clock.

It gets stuck and doesn't show the correct time.

Works perfectly, been using it for years. Now resizeable! There's a separate settings app you can buy, to change colors and make other mods.

K70%
by K####:

Doesn't manage to tell the right time, which is unfortunate to say the least in a clock. Looks good though, which is why it gets more than one star.

Very neat widget, and I can resize it with apex launcher to save space.
