Clockology needs permissions to access your location for weather and your activity for health data. Please double check Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Clockology (for weather) and Settings > Privacy > Health > Clockology (for health) verify Clockology is allowed to read this data.

- Verify preserve transparency is enabled on the layer.
- Depending on your iCloud Photo Library settings, you may discover that your transparent images have a white background instead. If the “Optimize Storage” setting is enabled on your device, transparent image files will automatically convert into lossy JPEG images with solid white backgrounds. There are 2 solutions:
- Choose your image files using the “Browse Files” button. This will allow you to select and import your original files directly from cloud storage services like iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.
- Disable “Optimize Storage” on your device by navigating to and selecting:
Settings > Photos > Download and Keep Originals *
*You may need to wait a little while for this setting to take effect before importing transparent images. When enabling “Download and Keep Originals”, your device may not have enough storage space to compensate for your original images and videos.
In your image editing software like Photoshop, create a document that is 200px high X 1600px wide. Separate that strip into 8 equal squares that are 200px X 200px each. Center each moon image within each square and import your strip into the moon phase image layer in Clockology.

Troubleshooting
Purchases will restore automatically when logged into the same iCloud account.
This could be due to different circumstances. If a clock has too many layers or the images used are too high in resolution, your app could crash. If you are stuck in a loop reinstall the watch app.
Try troubleshooting (reinstall the clock, the Clockology app, reset to defaults)
Check the settings of the clock to see if something has changed.
