Personal Comments by Reviewer

Because this app is specifically designed for your iPad you’ll be able to take advantage of the large screen that allows you to view more information. I thought it was great that not only was the time always displayed but also the current weather conditions through graphics. This means you could quickly glance at the screen and know these details immediately. I really enjoyed the quotes that displayed daily as well as the daily horoscope. Despite the fact that so much information is displayed on the screen it doesn't feel cluttered or busy. In fact, the display is very clean and sleek looking.
