Stephen Schenck / Android Authority TL;DR The new Google Clock Material 3 Expressive redesign glitches, with jittering digits as the time moves. Some layouts are messy under specific settings, forcing scrolling or text wrapping. Complaints are piling up on Reddit and Google’s support forum. Google’s flashy Expressive makeover for the Clock app was supposed to be a simple style update, but plenty of people are unimpressed, to say the least.

Google Pixel 10 Pro and Pro XL review: Redefining the smart in smartphone

In the ‘90s, the term “smartphone” emerged to denote devices with “advanced computing” features that allowed you to do more than just make calls. But if we’re being honest, applying that label to pocket-sized gadgets that ran cut-down versions of desktop PC apps with half-baked UIs was kind of overselling it.
