My GoodTime 1.3.0.0
Adding a clock tile to the Start screen or turning your Windows Phone into a desk clock by having the time displayed on the whole screen is possible with the help of utilities like My GoodTime.
Nice looking interface with a simple layout
The appearance of this application is pretty cool thanks to the numerous themes you can change whenever you feel like it.
The display on which the digital clock is shown is fully transparent, but the white digits may be a bit hard to read when loading themes with a lot of the same color on their backgrounds.
My GoodTime is usable in both portrait and landscape modes, with a significant advantage for the latter in terms of visibility because the date and time appear a lot larger. An occasional advertisement may appear out of nowhere and take up all the screen until you press the button to close it.
Select the preferred theme and choose the display mode
The utility is very easy to configure, as you have only a few options to tinker with and most of the time you will spend in the "Settings" area will most likely be dedicated to picking clock themes. The 30+ variants at your disposal are mostly taken from nature, with only a handful of them having a different inspiration.
With this app you can view the time in both 24-hour or 12-hour format, whereas for the date there are no customizations available and it will be always displayed in the same format.
Another useful function is the lock screen deactivation switch that will make it possible for you to keep the screen active all the time My GoodTime is running. By default the setting is already configured for this option, so in case you just want to use the Start screen tile to view the time you can enable the screen lock with one tap.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The utility has a neat aspect thanks to the high-quality themes it has in store, but their rather reduced diversity and lack of customizations for the clock digits makes it lose a bit here. |
Function8
The ability to deactivate the lock screen and run in both landscape and portrait modes are some of the main advantages of this application, but it still lacks more configuration options. |
Security5
My GoodTime is quite inquisitive as it requires access to a lot of system areas unrelated to its functionality, like the phone dialer, location services, owner and phone identities, not to forget the multimedia libraries. |
Battery6
Definitely a battery consumer, this app needs a significant amount of energy to function, so on prolonged use it will drain a lot of power. |
Price8
A good deal overall, this tool offers freely everything it has, even if that is not too much, especially when making a comparison with other similar tools. |
Compatibility9
Ready to run on most Windows Phone handsets out there, the application only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system. |
