let’s see your widgets

I stacked this one. Let's see if either 'ticks' overnight.

Cancel the alert - both 'new clock widgets' fizzled & stopped before supper time far less overnight. Back to my trusty Widget Toolbox clock.

I have trouble with all the analog clock widgets. Not sure what the problem is.

The very basic clock from Widget Toolbox is the one & only which has performed consistently. It's far from spectacular but meets the requirement of 'telling time' well. Back to the drawing board.

The Drawing board....

All of my Widgetopia analogues to date have pooched - so let's give this combo a try.

I have decent luck with Widget Toolbox. Also Clock Face does better than the others. I wish I knew why they don't work any better than they do. No problems with the digital clocks.

I spy three maple leaves as apps. One is Air Canada, but I wonder what the two other are.

Clock Face has had some of my 'rejects' on clocks I liked. I just hope the digi-analogue I'm trying from Widgetopia holds up. The rest from then ( analogue) never kept time beyond the first half day.

Here we go again - 'just when.......'
My nice digi-analogue click widget pooched twice as have ( to date) any Widgetopia varients. I'm trailing to more from separate Apps ( stacked) as another overnight test.

Yup, stacks come in handy. I use them on all of my homescreen widgets.

Just a few of my large widgets. Changes the look and information in an instant.

Strangely enough, prior to my finding the nice digi-analogue which I just dumped, I'd 'trialled 2 analogue clocks from 2 different apps stacked aa well. Overnight 2 nights ago, both clocks had frozen.

Re 'the clock widget conundrum' -

And the survey says....

Further to yesterday's attempts I again added the pretty bluish Widgetopia digi-analogue from earlier to my now '3 clock trial' stacks. That one froze again so I deleted it. The serious looking one which displayed location & time zone became jumpy and erratic this morning so it's gone too. Leaving me this which I liked and so far so good. Really baffling me is that the Widgetopia blue analogue-digital hasn't skipped a beat on my iPad mini, go figure.

I think the only analog clock widget that has zero problems right now is the Apple Analog Clock.
I really think that these widget clock issues will be corrected and improved as time and updates come.

Unfortunately the Apple version has a white background during the day.

The iOS analog clock goes dark at night though.

It keeps the bright white face though

Yes it does, however I do believe that DMO is looking for an Analog watch face widget that's black all the time.

Correct. The screen presentation and the bright white bleed through unless in Reduce transparency ( which affects the Dock) are the problem. But I can live with 'cool widget' as long as it doesn't freeze or bump. Then I still have Widget Toolbox' version of more or less the same.

I have 8 analog clock widgets in a stack. I never really know which one is going to work. Some are more consistent than others. Vpings is one of my favorites, but the most difficult to jump start. I think the developers are doing all they can, with what Apple gives them to work with. And that's the problem. And I feel like we're starting to beat the proverbial dead horse.
