Can you find a single CLOCK app for an old iOS device? (It's sad that iOS
has the SHORTEST update cycle of all common consumer operating systems)

It's not for me but for a relative.
If this was Android, there would be a billion useful apps.

But it's an iPad.
And, unfortunately, the fact remains... iOS has a very short lifespan.

The proof is simple:

I can't find a _single_ fullscreen clock app for that older iPad.

If you can't, then, well, that's proof of what I've been saying all along.

there's one already on it, but you'll find something wrong with it to
troll.

That's the oldest iPad there is. Not "oldER": "oldEST".

I'm trying to help someone.
All you ever do, nospam, is fabricate imaginary iOS app functionality.

You're the opposite of me, nospam, in every way imaginable.
You are cruel. You are despicable. You are a liar. You are mean.

Nothing you say can _ever_ be trusted to be the truth, nospam.
Nothing.

You know this is for a very old lady with very old eyes who hates that her
iPad is worthless in that it can't even do a _single_ useful thing, nospam.

You know we're trying to make this expensive Apple iPad useful, somehow,
perhaps as a full time always-on full-screen digital kitchen clock display.

I don't have that iPad in my hands as it's owned by a relative who asked me
to find some way to make it useful - which - is hard for an iOS device.

Since you fabricate imaginary iOS app functionality all the time, nospam,
(because you _hate_ that iOS is always crippled in basic functionality),
I have to ask you a basic set of questions, all of which need to be yes.

But if this first question isn't a yes, then you simply lied (again)...

Q: *Does that app you claim is on it run full screen all the time?*
(such that the old iPad turns into a full-time kitchen clock)

A: Yes or No?

If it's yes, then I'll tell her over the phone what to do.
If it's no, then you are a cruel despicable unprepossessing brazen liar.
--
If the answer is no, then yet again you fabricated imaginary functionality.

Trollboi Andy proves yet again that he actually doesn't know anything about
what he's blabbing about. : D

Anyone with an older iPad (including me, since I have a 2nd generation iPad
running iOS 9 sitting right here) knows the built-in Apple Clock app actually
works just fine for this purpose:

Dipshit Andy doesn't know, and probably doesn't give a shit anyway, because:

Sure it is, trollboi. Sure it is. And if it is, your "relative" apparently
can't find their way out of a wet paper bag, because this functionality is
built in. : )

> I can't find a _single_ fullscreen clock app for that older iPad.

You clearly haven't bothered to even look. But then as we all know, you're
only here to troll, so that's to be expected. You add nothing of value here,
and are only here to disrupt these news groups with your pathetic, lame
trolls.

Hi Jolly Roger,

Thanks for those screenshots, where your credibility is utterly worthless
because many times in the past you dug up a screenshot from the dawn of iOS
_claiming_ that it could be done in current times.

If you don't believe me, remember that I've seen you claim that iOS could
graph wi-fi over time (which you just made up) and you posted old
screenshots of debugging modes which no longer existed and you've said many
times that iOS can back up IPAs under circumstances that it can't.

Even David Empson had to chide you for fabricating functionality that
didn't exist where all you did was find a screenshot from ten years ago.

So we'll see if the clock app can do what you 'claim' it does.

I can confirm that the clock app does precisely what he said, "Arlen".

I have only the newer clock app widget on my homescreen.

Mine opens up to "World Clock" tab but there are "Alarm" & "Stopwatch" and
"Timer" tabs on the bottom so "World Clock" is the only related choice.

The World Clock tab does not do what is asked but there are three dots in
the top which give three choices of single window, split view & slide over.

None of that does what is being asked which is to display a clock on the
screen filling up the screen and not blanking out ever - displaying time.

Can you tell me the steps exactly that you were able to make the clock
display on the screen all the time in full screen mode (digital or analog)?

First of all, are you talking about an iPad or an iPhone?

World Clock on my iPhone can't be set into full screen mode, but the
iPad version can.

It's not a widget. It's the Apple "Clock" app that came with my iPad 2.
When I tap one of the clocks, I get the full-screen clock.
It is really simple:

3. <https://i.imgur.com/IBPCEcw.png>

What iPad do you have, and what version of iOS are you running?

The very first iPad didn't have an Apple "Clock" app. I'm sure there were
third-party clock apps, but whether they are still supported 12 years later by
those developers is questionable.

Did you try the websites Alan previously mentioned?:

When I tap any of the clocks, nothing happens other than it allows me to
move them to a different position on the set of clocks on the bottom bar.

What happens when you tap the left most clock? Does it expand? Mine won't.

15.3.1 won't expand any clock no matter how much I tap any one of them.

And this thread was about what an OLD iPad running an OLD version of iOS
would do.

At least two people (me included) who actually own old iPads have posted
stating that what the OP wants can indeed be done. Try to keep up, please.

Why did Jolly Roger claim the old iOS could do what he _knows_ it can't do?
*Why do these ignorant low-IQ uneducated iKooks always resort to such lies?*

I call bullshit on both these liars.

There's an old thread asking _why_ Jolly Roger & nospam constantly sent new
innocent users on futile wild-goose chases - which even David Empson had to
_repeatedly_ chastise them to please stop making up iOS functionality that
simply never existed and certainly still doesn't exist.

It's obvious that Jolly Roger lied.

*The only question that an adult needs to ponder is _why_ did he lie?*

Why did Jolly Roger claim the old iOS could do what he _knows_ it can't do?

It won't matter. He's here to lie and troll - and nothing else matters.

I don't recall any lies he's told...
