## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's clear, large clock display and simple user interface with minimal permissions and low battery drain. However, recurring issues include lack of true Always-On Display support, color customization not working as intended, crashes on low battery without charging, and inconsistent font size adjustments. Many also find the alternating display of date and battery info bothersome and desire the option to show both at once for better nighttime usability.

### Pros

- Clear and large digital clock display suitable for night use.
- Minimalistic and user-friendly interface with sensible features.
- Free app with no permissions required, making it secure and easy to use.
- Low battery usage compared to other similar apps.
- Customizable brightness and size options helping visibility at night.

### Cons

- Inability to automatically display clock on screen lock or when not charging, limiting Always-On Display (AOD) functionality.
- Color customization issues where chosen clock colors revert to white, ignoring user preference.
- App crashes or does not run properly when battery is low and not plugged in.
- Font size can be too small for some users and inconsistent calibration of font size setting.
- Continuous alternation between date and battery info display is distracting; users want both shown simultaneously.
