Features & Capabilities

Date in Status Bar HD is a lightweight Android app designed for high resolution devices like Google Nexus and Samsung Galaxy series. It shows the day of the week and calendar day directly in your device's status bar, enhancing your notification visibility with clear, larger icons specially tailored for HD screens. The app features an intuitive simple UI, offers auto-start on reboot, and allows you to choose from various colors to customize the display.

Beyond just showing the date, it provides additional information such as the full date, day of the year, and week number in the notification dropdown. It's optimized for minimal battery usage and also supports Android tablets, making it a versatile tool for Android users. The Pro version offers an ad-free experience and more color options to support the developer. Regular updates ensure compatibility across Android versions from 2.2 through 4.x, though note certain limitations on Android 3.0 and above due to OS behavior on notification icons. User feedback is welcomed to improve features further.

User Reviews

Users appreciate the app's simplicity and clear date display in the status bar. However, many face persistent issues with the date disappearing or not updating correctly, requiring manual restarts. Compatibility problems exist on newer Android versions and popular devices. Users also report unwanted notification dots and sounds. The pro upgrade adds minor improvements but does not resolve core stability and update issues.

Pros

Displays the date clearly and in a compact manner in the status bar.
Simple and easy to use with multiple options for customization.
Works reasonably well on some devices and Android versions when all notifications are enabled.
Pro version offers additional color options compared to free version.

Cons

The date often disappears from the status bar and requires manual restarting of the app to restore it.
The app frequently shows incorrect or outdated date until manually reopened or refreshed.
Does not reliably work on newer Android versions (Android 12, 13, 15) or certain devices like OnePlus and Samsung models.
Persistent notification dot on app icon cannot be disabled separately.
Annoying notification sounds at midnight with no option to disable them.

1. Doesn't display anything in status bar at top of screen in Android 13. 2. Device restarts about 8 times slower than before after installation.

DSB HD works OK in my Samsung S23+ (Android 15). Tiny green icon. Needs upgrade (none since 8/23) to keep icon in status bar - later notifications gradually push it off. Cf. clock date option in Good Lock/Quick Star. (Only for Samsung.) My workaround (crude): MacroDroid script to restart DSB each time icon disappears.
