Review summary

3Cats Clock Widget + Seconds is praised for its simple and clean clock widget with seconds and color customization, without ads or intrusive permissions. However, multiple users report that the widget often freezes and stops updating, especially on newer Android versions, requiring manual triggers or workarounds. Customization options are limited, with no font style/size changes or background color settings. The app can consume more battery due to continuous seconds display. Overall, users appreciate its ease of use and developer responsiveness but desire more stability and customization.

Pros

Provides a simple digital clock widget that includes seconds display
No ads and permission free, providing a clean user experience
Allows color customization of the clock display
Easy to use with some useful features like blink/unblink and show/hide date
Responsive developer support fixing issues upon contact

Cons

Widget frequently freezes and stops updating unless triggered by actions like opening the app or rotating the phone
Lack of customization options such as font size and style, and no background color option
Not fully compatible with newer Android versions resulting in widget invisibility or malfunction
Consumes battery faster as it runs seconds display continuously
Lack of additional features like alarm, countdown, stopwatch or multiple time zones

2024-12-30	Pr*****	It is a beautiful clock widget. I had requested your team to make another Widget, combination of original Hindu Time and Gregorian Time through my email.Perhaps you have ignored it. I do request you to take in to process and present it to the users by end of January 2025. Thanking you all.

2023-08-02	Ma*****	The widget freezes the moment you close the app, and is thus useless unless you want to know what time it was when you closed the app. Furthermore, it does not allow for any customization. The only thing you can do when you enter the app is see the time in red. You can't change the color, you cant change the font or font size, you can't change to 12 hour format.

2023-07-24	Aa*****	The app provides me what I've wanted the most - a clock widget with seconds. It would be great if the font size and the font style can be customized too!

2023-04-21	Ma*****	I love this app, used it on several phones. But once again, the system causes it to stop, freeze up. Current phone is Galaxy S23. Android v13. Do I have to wait for an update, or can I do something with phone settings?

2023-04-06	A *****	Update 7 Apr 23: dropping from 4 to 2 stars because widget keeps freezing, the time not updated. Will have to look for another app. Excellent simple app, does what it says, 4.9 stars. I wanted a simple clock widget with seconds (hh:mm:ss) but there are so few! This is the best I've tried. One request: the font style could be improved, maybe provide a couple of styles to choose from? Then I'd give it 5 stars.

2022-04-07	Ca*****	Seems to be doing exactly what it says... It would be nice if I could put a background color on it as it is hard to see on some places of my phones background picture, no matter what color I set the font to.

2022-02-23	Je*****	Great app. When it stopped working after the latest update I was disappointed, but removing it from the battery optimization list got it working perfectly again.

2022-02-22	Ma*****	Generally i quite like this app. Occasionally, the widget freezes but something like a phone restart or opening the app itself normally sorts this out. Today, it froze and I had to remove the widget and add it back to the home screen.

2022-02-10	Ar*****	Fantastic & very useful little widget that I place front & top center on my Pixel 3aXL! I even sync my watches to it's convenient accuracy. Highly recommended. Grateful for the developer's contribution & creativity. Edit: glitch freezes clock on Android 12 devices. Constantly having to cycle the "blink" function to restore function; destroys usefulness... Please fix it?

2021-06-14	Ma*****	This app is easy to use and has some fun features that are great to play around with. Update: Unfortunately, the widget didn't work on my new phone, the Samsung Galaxy A10 (American version.)
