4.10.1
Nov 14, 2020
We listened to all the enthusiastic Set the Clock users and built a couple of requested features into the app. And we also decided to polish the app here and there, to make it look just a little bit better!
What have we changed:
- You can now choose which numbers to show on the face of clock: all numbers, only 12, 3, 6 and 9 or no numbers at all
- When selecting the level, a button has been added that allows you to choose whether you can use only the hour-hand, or both hands to set the clock to the correct time
- A user from Switzerland (thé country of clocks) pointed out a mistake: the hands were the wrong way around! Of course we immediately put it right!
- And as a reminder, in the previous version we have built in the option to adjust the color of the hands!
If more options are missing, do not hesitate to report them via a review!
