I’ve tried many clock apps on Android, but none have this one excellent Samsung Clock feature

Megan Ellis / Android Authority While I have my favorite apps, including what I consider the best video editing app and best to-do list app, I never thought I’d be very particular about which clock app I used. For as long as I can remember, I used whatever clock came with my phone. But over the past few years, I’ve become accustomed to Samsung Clock’s features. Since it’s only available on Samsung phones, I’ve tried to switch to another clock app that isn’t bound to a particular OEM. Despite t

Waze vs. Google Maps: Which navigation app is best?

Try as he might, President Donald Trump is failing miserably to get the world to move on from the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein crisis. Trump's loyal fan base devolved into a cesspool of conspiracy theories after the White House walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, concluding that Epstein had no "client list" and that the sex criminal had killed himself in jail, rather than being killed to keep him silent.
