What's new in v1.0

A metric clock ( time based on base 10 divisions of day

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Why is a day divided into 24 parts? Why is the basic group of days a week of 7 days? The answers are lost in the past. Ancient Sumerians and Egyptians divided their sundials into 12 parts, but I have been unable to determine why they did this. There is biblical rational for making 7 days a basic unit of days, but I am not a Christian and I don't use base 7 counting. Here is a clock based on dividing the day into parts based on the base 10 number system. A full date is expressed as day of year plus decimal fraction of the day. For example April 3 is the 93rd day of the year. 8am is one third of the way through the day, so the full date and time would be 93.33333

Metric Clock APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Metric Clock APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is f94e2a93fa092d9d0dc65d21759e2280.
