## Review summary

Users praise the app for its clean design and deep customization, with many features and options. However, the app suffers from recurring compatibility issues on watches and devices, storage/permissions problems, and signs of limited maintenance. The UI can be clunky and navigation is slow, and there are reported bugs (e.g., timezone propagation). Despite these, a dedicated user base values the aesthetic and configurability.

### Pros

- Extensive customization options and configurations
- Minimal and elegant design with a clean UI
- Rich feature set with many options and widgets
- Long-term reliability with ongoing community and developer support

### Cons

- Compatibility issues across devices and wearables; not compatible with newer watches (Galaxy/Pixel watches)
- Storage/permissions problems that block features (storage permission prompts, 'No permissions denied'), often requiring reinstall
- Perceived lack of ongoing support and updates (last update in 2023; some users report no replies from developers)
- Clunky UI with slow navigation and frequent prompts; hard to understand
- Timezone propagation bugs and other wear OS/device-specific issues
