HexaTime App for Android Review
You can find lots of live wallpaper apps in Google Play Store. But HexaTime app for Android is a unique live wallpaper app that displays the current time and simultaneously sets your wallpaper to the corresponding hexadecimal color. You can get HexaTime Android app for free.
Features
HexaTime app for Android does not show background images or photos. Instead, it displays a dynamic clock in the style of a hex triplet code along with a constantly changing background that corresponds to a particular hexadecimal color. For example, if the time is 05:56 PM, its clock reads #055625 wherein the last two digits indicate the time lapsed in seconds. After installing HexaTime app, launch it from the app drawer. Now click the ‘Activate’ button to enable the app, whereupon you’ll be prompted to set the app as your live wallpaper. Done! If you go back to your home screen, you’ll find that the home screen wallpaper has been changed to HexaTime.
The background color of the wallpaper corresponds to the hexadecimal number – the time – it is displaying at a given moment. For example, if the time reads #054202 (12 hr format), the background color will be pink hue. The color changes with time so that you won’t feel bored looking at the home screen. You can set the hexadecimal clock in 12 hr or 24 hr format according to your preferences. You also have the option to hide the clock and display only the background instead. The app works commendably sans any glitches or lags. It is also pretty stable and responsive. But it does not support landscape mode for its setting screen. A preview option would have come handy.
Conclusion
HexaTime app for Android is an innovative experimentation on the concept of live wallpapers. Instead of photos or images, it shows the time in hexadecimal form wherein the background hue changes with the current displayed time. You can view the time in 12hr/24hr format. Setting up the app is easy. Performance wise, the app is stable and responsive. However, it does not support landscape mode. Also missing is a preview option. Overall, a good choice for users who wants to give their home screens a modern and lively vibe. Check it out.
