    Why does a clock need more features. It tells the time. MAYBE add an alarm to it so you don’t have to have 2 apps. that’s it. It’s not a calendar, it’s not a task-tracker, and the last time I checked we still have 24 hour days.

    The only updates it needs are UI updates (which should be system-side anyways) and if the time source changes, which are a few bytes at most.

      It likely includes stuff like timezones, timers, alarms,supports multiple languages. The update could be fixing a typo in Hungarian translation for all I know, or fix layout for displaying timezones on ultra wide screen 🤷‍♂️

      Software development is complex, even for seemingly most trivial things.

      If you take one look at the app on the [windows store](Windows Clock - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store https://share.google/4wV9U8aDXtMySbd0j) and see the screen shots, you’ll understand it does more than display time.
