      All apps need updates as new features are added. The problem on windows the updates are slow and UX is poor.

      Nobody’s complaining about android clock needing updates, because they’re seamless.

        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.
