iOS 10 Clock

Danial Voran, I agree with you the white on black is horrid! And I agree also that we should be given the ability to make a choice!!! This is just another item added to the list of things I dislike about iOS10: mostly dislike UI changes that are beginning to little by little stray farther and farther away from the original Apple aesthetic. 😟

There are over a million apps in the App Store. If you don't like the way the one provided by Apple works, just download one that meets your needs better. I haven't used the built-in clock for years. Or the calendar. Or the calculator. Or the Weather app. Or Notes. Or the News app. Or Maps. There are far better apps in the app store.

Clearly, I use very few of the built in apps, as they are all pretty primitive (intentionally by Apple, I might add). One reason for the success of the app store is that Apple doesn't attempt to compete with its outside developers; all Apple apps are very basic, exactly to avoid competing.

Can't find "World Clock Pro" in app store!

Great thanks a lot! The picture was the key.

Stupid to search for World Clock Pro in the german app store where it's listed as Weltuhr.

I wish I'd never updated to ios 10. It has nothing I need and much

I do not.

It puzzles me that the weather app can change background

color for night and day times but the clock, timer, alarm and stopwatch

cannot.

I rely on these functions a great deal and now it is like Halloween all

of the time. (I like Halloween, but not on my phone.)

Really, Apple, really? Why does the background have to change,

anyway? It is really hard to read now. Why can't this be a setting and

be customized as other apps are?

PLEEEEAAASE Apple, give us a choice. We are responsible and can

handle it. Don't go the way of the Dark Side.

Apple is not here. This is a user to user technical support forum. If you would like to share your thoughts with Apple, do so here: Apple - Feedback

Don't you love how some people complain about everything? They wouldn't be happy if they didn't have something to be unhappy about. You are correct just don't use or switch it off. Pretty simple solution.

You have a choice. It's called the App Store. There are hundreds of clock apps. One of them may even please you.

First World problems seem to upset people the most. Wouldn't it be nice if they got as upset about children dying of starvation? Refugees with no place to go?

Well, I'm glad it's not just me - like you, am angry that stopwatch background is now 'stuck' with black background; I actually do use it often - how hard would it have been to make it capable of switching between preference of white OR black background? Frustrated.

Again, Apple is not here, so expressing your disdain for their design choices is falling on deaf and uninterested ears.

You might want to try to put it in perspective, however, if you really are feeling anger about this. Sounds like a little balance in your life would be a good thing.....

I'm angry that an innocent man was shot and killed by police in Oklahoma. We seem to have different priorities. There's nothing that can be done about my anger, but you can resolve yours by installing one of the hundreds of clock apps in the app store. I'm sure there's one that meets your exacting specifications.

I also find the beddie-bye feature a bit silly, and ignorant of professionals' lifestyle, but it can be ignored. However, white lettering on a black background it a real problem for some of us. Those of us with dyslexia, it is a nightmare. Please, please, Apple, give us the option to turn it back to black on white!!!!!!

Apple still isn't here. Send your feedback to them: Apple - Feedback. We can't help you - we are just users like you.
