Widget stops updating the time #32

I noticed that widgets tend to stop updating the time. Like, it said 10 days when created and then a week later it will show something like 10 days or 15 days but not 17 days. Haven't really figured out what causes this. The only way to make it update again seems to be to recreate the widget; a simple restart of the phone doesn't fix it.

Sounds like android is killing the widget for power saving. Check the app settings and set it to unrestricted battery usage and see if that helps. You shouldn't need to recreate the widget to restart it either. If you edit or resize it, that will reschedule the update processs. The other thing that could be happening is that if you have more than one widget, only the newest updates. That's a bug (#19)

Ah yes I've got 4 widgets so it's probably #19
