Your app is great. Can you add a Google Search module? IT works through the window, but is not correctly sized or touch-friendly.

Been using this ever since day 2 with my G4
Very well done app, and I recommend it to all.
Minor issues:
1- The music module will not launch Play Music, but if Play Music is already running, then it will control playback.
2- Voice recorder stops and deletes the current recording if I lock the screen

Looking forward to that watchface update :)

1. The music module is pretty idiot. It doesn't know which music player do you use (unlike LG's music, which uses LG music...), so instead of guessing, it only support Android Media Controller API. Although, if you paused a track long time ago, it should be able to remember that thanks to that API.
2. Since the screen stays on all the time, I think that it should be like that. Do you turn off the screen with recorder a lot?

1. True about the pausing / resuming, it works
2. I only wanted to do it once... to record discreetly.

But when you turn the screen back on, it doesn't open my app, but the watchface. So it is kind of impossible. Think about someone that forget to turn the recording off, and doesn't understand why he doesn't have storage anymore and awful battery life.

(Just for argument's sake, this is really not very important to me)

Turning the screen back on takes me to the same red screen in the app (within the Quickcircle).
I think I see what's happening. From the Quickcircle screen, once I start voice recording, if I lock the screen then unlock it using only the button in the back of the phone, that somehow stops the audio file from being created, even though it shows as if it's still recording :p After I press stop, I can't find any of my recordings.

If you're worried about people forgetting to stop the recording, maybe a file size limit can be put in place?

Again, I don't really need this, It's just to answer you / clarify what I said earlier.

So in the G3 it was bringing me back to the main screen if I remember right.

Sorry, in my country we don't use AM/PM, so I don't have many knowledge about AM/PM.
24 hours clock. Let's say the hour is 12:00, how should it be shown? and what's about 00:00?
For us it goes 11:00am 12:00pm 1:00pm etc, then 11:00pm 12:00am 1:00am etc.. Hope that helps.

I was going to make a post here today praising this app. Great job on this!

I don't know if it could even be possible, but what do you think about a Quick Radar app? You could input a zip or postal code into the app and quick radar will get the regional weather radar for that area.

EDIT: Something that surprised me today....I was swiping through the watch faces and saw the red X for the face that this app installs. I clicked the red X thinking it would just remove that watch face. It ended up uninstalling the entire app! I was so confused. Should that red X on the watch face really uninstall the whole app or is it meant to just remove that watch face from the list?

Thanks, will be fixed very soon.
Just turned midnight and and all is fixed with the update. Thank you for your prompt work and continued dedication. Yours is like the only non-stock quick circle app worth having. I really like what you've done with it now after coming from the G3. Great work. On the clock face is there a way to add the colon ( : ) in the between hours and minutes?

I personally like how it looks now, but if you are not the only one who want add colon...

I like it too, I guess I'm just used to it being there. It might just take some getting used to. Ive been playing around with changing the hour colors to try and offset the two.

Does the LG g2 quick Windows compatible mode (or something?) still work on lollipop. Just tried it on my g2 mini not sure if it's not compatible with the g2 mini or it's the lollipop version which does it
