Update:
I know why Blynk auto-deleted the Blynk app on one of my iPhones. The reason is about "money". Blynk wants our money, as soon as you get beyond a "toy" app with a few data variables. If you build any app of any substance, you will pay for it.
Blynk gives 2000 tiny toy credits for a user to build an app. But that means across all devices on same email account. So because I was running (1) a small six data point service monitoring app and (2) the Wuhan virus stats app with for data points; Blynk synced my two iPhones and deleted the small server monitoring app without warning and without saving the data for the app anywhere.
However, you can avoid having Blynk auto-delete your apps like this by having a different email for each app, LOL.
Amazing! Blynk considers deleting your Blynk app without warning or saving the app before they delete it as "their business model". Lesson Learned!
BEWARE.
My goal was to build a free public service application for those concerned about the looming coronavirus pandemic in China. I learned a lot about Blynk in the process, obviously I cannot build anything more than a "toy app" before Blynk will require coin. I am a bit in shock about this; but then again, what do we expect from corporations these days? They are all in it for the big money, right?!

Was not really happy with the NTP clients for the ESP8266 because, after a few years of game engine programming, I am not a fan of a lot of code and delays in the main loop, so here is a "slightly better NTP client" for the ESP8266.

set to zero.
-shape causes the clock to use the Shape extension to create an oval window. This is the default unless the shapeWindow resource is set
to false.
-noshape
causes the clock to not reshape itself and ancestors to exactly fit the outline of the clock.
-transparent
causes the clock to consist only of the jewel, the hands, and the border.
COLORS
If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the following in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:
*customization: -color
This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color customization file: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below
are the default colors:
Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
