Better DashClock Widget is an enhanced version of DashClock Widget. It's compatible with all DashClock Extensions.This app is based from the original DashClock Widget, it supports all the functions of the original DashClock Widget app.

Better DashClock added many enhancements, here are some highlights:
• Enhanced built-in weather extension

• Setting to increase max collapsed extensions to 6 (horizontal aligned only if more than 4)
• Hide the clock, horizontally aligned the extensions
• Many appearance options were added. You can now change widget appearance settings such as text color, text size, widget background color etc.
• Major compatibility enhancement to make the app compatible with Android 4.0 or higher
***Important***
• This app is free to download and test. However, its extension will be disabled after 24 hours of installations until you purchase the unlock key. If you are looking for a free version, please download the original DashClock Widget app.
If you have published any DashClock extensions, contact me and I will send you the unlock key for free.
• Some extensions, such as DashNet , needs to update its extension description meta data in the AndroidManifest to allow other 3rd party apps to be able to read its data. If you added an extension to Better DashClock and its information is not showing up, you should contact the extension developer to ask him/her to add the "worldReadable" meta data to its extension as followed:http://bit.ly/19kKUWAYou should also point the extension developer to this link: http://api.dashclock.googlecode.com/git/reference/com/google/android/apps/dashclock/api/DashClockExtension.html
• It may not be compatible with some older devices due to bugs in some versions of Android, please try it before you make the purchase. If it's not compatible with your device's default launcher, try it with a 3rd party launcher such as Better Launcher
• To use this widget as a lock screen widget on Android 4.4 KitKat, you need to enable a setting first https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDCJpi-vv7s

It's free for 24 hours, then you have to pay to coconut using it. Pitiful
This app is great and its always installed on my phone I love it. But I got a new phone and now the key app isnt in the play store anymore. I paid for it and now I cant use this app because my trial expired.
The unlock key is no longer available and the developer has not replied to my email this app has been rendered useless by the lack of an available unlock key which was paid for.
This app is a paid app masquerading as free. After a day notifications appear informing you that you have yo pay for the app to keep updating the widget. Uninstalled.
I've used this app since my Nexus 5 days and all of a sudden it has went downhill. 😡
One small change needed. For the transparency slider on the background colour selector, can you put a percentage indicator. It's hard to get it the same transparency with other widgets right now.
The original has been having issues with the weather widget and this one has it all figured out. Really happy with it!
To the developer thank you for sticking by this app it's still very relevant. I plan to download on my S8+ next week👍
I am using thise app in my yureka plus custom ROM MIUI best app ever thanks devoloper.
I need this extention key. Other than that the app is great
Better than the original, but is there anyway to resize the Extensions text size?
Love it
Weather extention is working
Well worth the price. The trial period gives you all the features so you know if the app does what you want. It worked perfectly for me, so I bought it. I'm loving it! The horizontal "collapsed" version of the extensions above the expanded version of the others is genius. Being able to resize it beyond the other widget is great, too. Well done.
I used this app for years but I think the developer abandoned. I highly recommend Chronus. As I write this review, I am still in the middle of setting up Chronus, I can already tell it's that good. Betterdash... Thanks for everything. You have been very helpful for a long time but today I have moved on.
The developer has abandoned this app and it hasn't been updated in a long time. The weather extension is broken.
Never have managed to get BBC Weather to work with this. In years. Yes I've installed Dashclock first. It'd also be better to be able to change the text size of extensions. It's waaay too big at the moment!
All weather extension is stopped. It's running but no weather data available.
I bought the key and generally like the app but it fails on the Huawei.
I've tried the built-in weather and Better Weather extensions... Neither of them work. I've had no weather for a month or more. I have a Motorola Droid Turbo and a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Neither of the phones weather extensions work. I paid for the app. This is the 2nd or 3rd time in a year the weather has quit working. With each update it seems like you break something.
Its nice overall however i wish you guys would allow us to change the font on the extensions...i like to have complete customization for the money i spent.
Since the licence key fix this app is perfect and takes front stage in my launcher :)
The app seems to stop updating after a little while! I don’t think the main Dashclock has this issue. I’m on v6.0.1 for reference.
Would be great to have a Facebook extension.
I love how customisable this is.
in my oppinion this is the best home screen widget.
Xiaomi redmi 4 pro: clock alarm shows 00:00. Calendar shows only google events. Not from exchange connected to the gmail account
