Setting the background to transparent results in causing the app to close immediately upon opening. Nevertheless I deleted the app and reinstalled. I like having large clear info of date, time, weather - and a plus, calendar appointments. Would be nice to have a few more choices of backgrounds (sorry Grey doesnt
count and transparent doesnt work - although photo is a good option). All in all it offers what it says. I wasnt able to create a review using the app choice - which rather nicely offers to unlock the app if you do - So I resorted to Apples App Store instead. Would be good (with bugs ironed out) to go for the ad free version - with bugs I hesitate to do so. Using it in landscape mode I didnt realize there was also an alarm function - just what I thought it needed.
