Widgetsmith Positive Reviews

Artwork and themeI really like this app, the option to customize your own widget is great. And with the new aesthetics and artwork, it makes my home screen look even better. I would recommend thought to have a way to where people can make their own aesthetic theme and have a way to share it with everyone else using the app. Also if there would be a way for users to create their own artwork, so there can be a way for people to share their creativity, and also nail the aesthetic on their Home Screen just how they want it. I think having customizable art work would be an awesome idea, and a great way for people to share their artistic talent and help others complete their Home Screen. Another thing is that all the widgets are awesome and I love the new artwork, but it’s hard because all of the best artwork is for a premium membership, and it’s a lot to pay for, just to have cool looking widgets. And I do t think many people will be desperate enough to to pay that much just to make their home screen and widgets be aesthetically pleasing. If there was a different way that people could use the Widgetsmith pro artwork and widgets such as, sharing the app with a certain number of people, or rating it on the AppStore and writing suggestions, that would be a way for people who don’t have the extra money to spend on these designs a way to nail their aesthetic..Hope327Version: 2.2.1

Can’t exactly customizeSo my friend uses this and says it’s good so that’s why I gave you some stars I personally haven’t used this because of what I will tell you. So the thing is I want this specific picture right but when I try to make it it only gives me a certain selection like favorites recents etc. but the problem is when I click it, it inserts a random photo from that category and that’s not what I want I want specific photos. I tried to go to the help settings but the videos are out dated the set up of the app it had is not the set up it is now and basically what I got from one of the videos is you can’t chose the picture it randomly choses for you. I want control over my pictures I mean the whole point is to be able to customize your widgets right? Also when I looked in the help section I found something that could help but these help instructions are outdated the set up isn’t the same I tried to follow the instructions but it said after going to default one scroll down to custom section but I scrolled there’s no custom section anymore. So If this is an option and I just don’t know or either you could make it an option that would be great! And if you could update the help instructions and videos that would also be great because if it is an option I would like to select certain photos and the instructions now can’t help because there outdated and it’s not well helping. So if you can help out here thank you!!.HXJ45Version: 2.7.3

I think it’s good but needs some workIt seems like people mostly download this app for customizable pictures in their widgets. But sometimes it will turn grey. Also, as soon as I got the new update for this app, it won’t let me add any new widgets. For example when my homepage is in jingle mode and I click the + to add a new widget, I try to look up Widgetsmith but now however, it’s not there! So it won’t let me add new widgets. Also my widgets I already had all turned grey and when I hold down the widget to click on “edit widget” it’s not there anymore! So I can’t even change it at all. Also before I got the update the last few widgets I added were all grey and I couldn’t get the picture I wanted. It’s a really good app and concept but I feel like it also needs to have directions on how to use it and edit widgets on the homepage to change widgets. Also it has bugs that need to be fixed. :( (by the way could you please make it so we can customize the widgets name so it doesn’t just say Widgetsmith?).Valeria..1717Version: 1.0.3

Does the basics, but needs a few revisionsOverall, the app is good. I think it does its job well enough, but it’s very simple. I like the customizable nature of the app, my home screen looks a lot better since downloading it. The only technical issue I have encountered is that my large widget for my reminders seems to glitch at random points and not list any of my scheduled items. This is not a constant issue, but it does happen every once in a while, as well as taking a while to update once I add a new reminder. The only other complaints I have are a matter of further improving aesthetic and perhaps some future ideas, none of which are deal-breakers for me, but would improve my experience with the app. I don’t particularly like the battery widget as it shows only the battery and not the percentage, which seems almost useless to me, as I have the same symbol showing in the upper right corner of my screen at all times. I also wish that the widgets did not say widgetsmith underneath them (similar to how the name of an app shows under its icon), I would prefer they have no title/caption. My third wish is that the widgets could have customizable shortcuts, so that when I select them, I am taken to the app that corresponds to the widget, rather than simply opening the widgetsmith app. Nonetheless, I recommend this app. It makes me happy to see my home screen much more organized and customized to my aesthetic. I much preferred this app to others similar to it..DrFogVersion: 1.0.6

The app is-or was..great.Hi! So I downloaded the app about a year or two ago and it is amazing! I ended up downloading it on my ipad as well and it has been awesome! (Btw it still works on my IPAD) 🤩 The only reason I have to give it four stars instead of five is because, It seems that I can’t open the app on my phone at all anymore. Let me explain more so it’s not confusing, 🫤. The app has been great and working for the past years but apparently this year or half into the past year it just stopped. I’ve tried what I could but I can’t open the app up by tapping on the widget on my home screen or going to the app itself. The widgets still show my pictures, but I haven’t been able to change them or edit them. But overall the experience I had before this issue was great! And I completely recommend! I also have some friends that use this app regularly and it seems to work for them! It might just be a user error, but if there is anything I can do to fix it I would appreciate it! It’s not like I’ll die if it doesn’t fix, it’s just sometimes annoying if I want a specific feel for my Home Screen/lock screen. But that’s really all I have to say, 🖤! Have a great day and I really hope you download and don’t have the same issue as me!! Happy widgeting!.S0me We1rdoVersion: 5.1.4

Good app but small problemIt’s a good app. I absolutely love this app. I’ve had it ever since the ios14 came out. I have one small little problem with this though. This morning all the widgets on my phone were perfectly fine and they’ve been showing up on my Home Screen, but later today they turned gray with lines over it and I tried to fix it and tried to make the widget picture I put in show up, but it just didn’t. I didn’t erase the app or the widgets because maybe I thought it was just a small glitch, so I just powered on and off my phone and tried again, but apparently the widgets of my choice of photo still didn’t show which made me very upset because without those widgets my Home Screen just doesn’t make sense and the day I rearranged my whole entire Home Screen it took me 4 hours. I googled my problem and it didn’t show anything of what I was going through, but I just wanted to let you guys know that. I also still as of right now, have those widgets up, but it’s just gray with gray lines over it and maybe I’m thinking it’s an iOS issue or something, but it’s been like this for a few hours now..The new update suckssVersion: 1.0.6

Super great for organization, however..I love this app, It helps make my phone look all the more stylish, however I do have some complaints, but they are minor ones such as, When you have an event on the calendar widget, theres no special indicator for the day on the widget unless it’s happening today or tomorrow, also for the countdown I wish there was an option for it to automatically repeat after it completes, for example if you have one for when school ends, or when your work shift ends, you can just set it to the next day when its over which is fine, its a minor inconvenience. Finally is there a way to store more than one custom theme, or can you only store one and manually input another? Anyways other than those minor inconveniences this app is a 5/5, Its easy to use, Super convenient (minus those few things), You don’t need the subscription to enjoy the app, and it helps you add a bit more flair to your phone..FeynlessVersion: 4.0.9

MixedI'm not sure about this app. I don't hate it but i don't love it. Obviously it makes my home screen look a lot better so that's nice. I like how you can pick your own pictures and it's pretty easy to work with. I Hate how under the pictures it says "Widgetsmith" so i wish that was gone cause it bugs me. I understand if it can't be removed but that's definitely one of my cons. I wish you could customize the way the apps look cause it looks weird when i have sunny pictures and i have an orange game sitting in the middle. To Developers: It would be great if you could make the apps have some sort of cover to make it go with a certain theme. Right now i'm thinking if i should download Themify cause it has this but i'm not sure yet. If you get this game and your looking for something to make the apps all look neon or something then don't get this cause it's just widgets but if you want pictures popped up around your home screen then this is a good app for you. Have a nice day and i hope this review helps anyone reading this.EhebbsbdfhfhhffhVersion: 4.1.2

Works perfectlyI don’t how people are having problems it’s probably their phone that doesn’t work not the app. I got it two days ago and I was able to use all sizes and put any picture I want in there, and it never freezes or doesn’t let me click on it. I already made my phone look exactly how I imagined and it lets me stack the widgets together to make like a slide show. And all the people saying you need to make a separate album for each are wrong or probably confused. You just have to click on “photo” then look at the bottom of your screen and then tap on “selected photo”then it will let you choose your photo. I think the people you see using albums don’t know how to use the photo button. So yeah I love this app and it worked perfectly. If you see bad reviews ignore them until you tried it out for yourself because obviously it works for some people like me and all the other people online that have been posting videos on how to do it.☺️Have a good day..Liz ✌🏼Version: 1.0.4

Fantastic app!I recommend this app for anyone who has an iPhone of an iPad. I think it’s a great way to make your phone or iPad your own. Custom Widgets So I can make widgets out of my own photos or even ones I find on the internet of like cute pets or something. I use Widgetsmith on my iPhone and it’s a great way to decorate your iPhone. I recommend this for anyone who wants to use there own photos as bubbles that pop up on your phone or iPad screen! Sizing The sizes on Widgetsmith are small, medium, and large. I personally like the small and medium because they can make a nice photo fit in. Most of my photos are from a distance so small widgets are great! The large are a bit big for me tho. So you can edit the widgets to have a print on them, but I still think it would be to big. Again this is a personal opinion. Like I said lots of my photos are taken from a distance so small and medium are for me! Is there anything really bad? No! Nothing is wrong with widgetsmith! I adore the cute outlines you can style your widgets with and all the formats! Widgetsmith is a great was to express yourself and I think it’s a good way to get to know someone just by looking at there widgets on there phone or iPad! In conclusion, I think Widgetsmith is a great was to style up your iPhone or iPad!.Emliy GreyVersion: 2.8.4

LOVE THIS APPI was a bit confused on how to make widgets at first but once I got the hang of it it was really easy. There are so many good themes to choose from but I personally use the custom one. There are also many layouts and types of data you can add and customize and I love how easily and often it syncs with my calendar, reminders, pictures, weather and more. There is also a custom wallpaper maker which I tried out. The only things I don’t like about this app is that whenever I put a widget on my phone home screen, it says Widgetsmith under the widget instead of what I named it. I’m pretty sure that can’t really be fixed as it’s the name of the app. Also the weather widgets are a premium feature in case you were wondering. Overall, I think this is a really great app for anyone in need of amazing looking widgets and highly recommend over other widget apps. You might want look for app icons somewhere else though..ANTHUS10Version: 2.6

Good but badI was begging my mom to get it after I saw how you could customize your Home Screen even better. Me being a 53 year old I know what’s best for me so I got permission from my mom by yelling but the stairs. So I was having fun changing my Home Screen but then I seemed to have accident run over my ex, but that didn’t seem right Bc I have never been in a relationship and I’m still a virgin. Well after I realized I killed multiple people from a bus that somehow came into my possession I tried driving home but I couldn’t because I have never left my house Bc I can’t leave my fortnite game. As I started driving I realized that my phone wasent even here. What have I been doing all this time then. It was right there when I realized I love men. So after reading this just remember, if roses are red then the carpet is Jupiter and your garage door needs a new shovel. I hope this helped you with your decision on which potatoes to buy..Pablo45729.37Version: 2.6.2

A few things I’d like to be addedFirst, I know it’s important to have your name out there but it kinda destroys the aesthetic to not be able to remove the text under each widget. Second, I wanted to have a little zig zag pattern with apps with the background still flush, however, it does not offer a transparent widget and that would be very nice for a unique arrangement of apps like I had in mind. Instead I had to crop and edit my background to different places so it appeared transparent, but even then switching pages made it look a lot less clean and smooth. Third, I have a calendar widget that shows what I have for events and it’s awesome. However, clicking on it leads me to Widgetsmith instead of more calendar functions. I understand you want more exposure but it’s less user oriented that way. I’m not sure if that’s something you can fix but it would be a fantastic addition. Overall, I think it’s great for a pretty new app and update, but there’s always room for improvement so keep working hard!! Thank you!.Kyle JCVersion: 1.0.6

AWESOME APP! LISTEN TO THIS!!!!!This is such a good app. You can add a little something to help, and you can also change the way it looks, make a theme! I used short cuts app for the apps, and this app adds awesome touches, I love yellow, song my whole IPAD yes iPad, you can use it on a phone and iPad! Anyway, it all yellow theme. I can add a weather to tell me the weather for each day. I can add calendars, I can even add a yellow or any photo with the date to I give my iPad more awesome adds! If you want some others, you can pay! But it’s optional. That’s only if u want just a little more! I also have a yellow Pinterest bored, so every hour a yellow Pinterest widget turn to a cute pic! This app is awesome and calms me when I look at it. But if you don’t like the cute aesthetic vibes. Just add a plain widget as a helpful thing! I REALLY recommend this app! And not only can u do yellow, u can have themes like a beach vibe! Or pink?! PLEASE get this app!!!! Ps. Sorry it so long, I just had to tell u about it!.SespongeVersion: 2.4.1

A few glitches, but overall a great app.I just got this app when I updated my phone to ios14 and I love to use this app to make my phone more unique! However, after a day or two of having set widgets on my homescreen, the widgets start to glitch. For example the "date" widget wont change the date for the next day and same with the "temperature" widget. Also, around the same time the other widgets start acting up, the widget that I use to showcase a picture/album gets blurry and also will not change. When I attempt to solve this issue the whole widget will glitch all together and will either show a grey or black screen and I have learned one of the only ways to solve this issue is by deleting all of my widgets + the app and redownloading to start fresh. Also this is a solution, it is very frustrating and annoying to have to completely restart my whole homescreen. I absolutely love this app and I feel that with a few updates and bug fixes, it will be even better than what it is now..Ihc.08Version: 1.0.4

Great for customizations needs lifetime subscriptionI’ve been using Widgetsmith for years now, and although some of what I use it for is now also built-in, I still can’t imagine not having it. I think it’s an essential app for the extra customization that a lot of people want but probably don’t know can be done 😊 Only complaint would be the subscription, I actually think it’s totally worth the cost, but personally I don’t like subscriptions for something that’s essentially just on my phone (as opposed to an ongoing service that has more obvious maintenance costs). I do understand development takes effort and so even though it’s just on my devices it is still a sort of service, but I’d much prefer a one-time purchase instead of an ongoing subscription, even if it’s equivalent to 2 or 3 years of the regular subscription price..JupiterFluxVersion: 5.1

Great! Problem is....So I downloaded this app yesterday and I was super excited! There was just one flaw to it (more like 2 flaws...). Every time I go to “choose photo”, it lags like crazy!!! And sometimes it will freeze and I’m scared that it will log me out of the app (but it never does). And the other thing is that, when I was ready to add the widget to my Home Screen, the Widgets were completely blank and grey! It was kinda disappointing because my friend has this and even showed me how it looked and it looked amazing, but when I tried it, nothing happened. Even when I would add it to the Home Screen, there was still nothing on it. Please fix this problem. I’m really looking forward to adding these widgets to my phone but I’m scared that it will still be blank when I try again. But other than what I just explained, it’s a great app! I fully recommend it. Please fix these problems app developer! (Can you pleased also fix the lag?).CandyGalaxyVersion: 1.0.5

Good app but needs some fixesI know iOS 14 and this app is very new still, so i dont think its that bad as a new app. it could use some fixes though. first of all, you’re not able to pick your own photo for the photo option (you can only pick an album, and it picks a random photo from the album) i dont really like this feature since i had to make a bunch of albums for different photos i wanted. so if its possible, having an option to pick your own photo would be a great addition to the app. second of all, the widgets sometimes dont work. i got the app yesterday, and they were working perfectly fine at first. but now the widgets dont seem to show up? i put a widget on the home screen, but then it just shows up gray with nothing on it, and its been going on for the past few hours. this might just be a temporary glitch, but i would also suggest looking into that. overall, its a great app. im excited for whats to come and what new features could be added..Becs2270Version: 1.0.2

Love it!! just a couple thingsI like this app a lot, I like that my screen looks nice and color-coordinated. What would help me a lot is if I didn’t have to make an album with one photo to get my photo widgets to work. I know a lot of people are having the same problem, it’s not a huge deal right now but it’s definitely a hassle and takes a bit of time. This is a little more picky but I think a lot of people would agree that a custom color option would be AMAZING. Some of the colors just don’t work with what I wanted on my screen, I had to adjust colors to the Widgetsmith colors and it took a very long time. The pinks are a little too salmon-y colored, and the pastel purple looks a little more blue than purple. I don’t know about the other colors since my goal for my Home Screen was pastel pinks, purples, and blues, but I wish I didn’t have to adjust to the Widgetsmith colors. I would also love if I can change the colors of some weather widgets instead of having those bright orange colors..POtO!ln2?Version: 1.0.6

Can’t display time over a photo.I want to give this app more stars. It’s wonderful in conception, and mostly really user-friendly. It totally upgraded my phone home pages, and circumvents Apple’s seeming-obsession with not allowing users to customize anything. However. There is absolutely no way to display the time over a photo, unless you also have the day and date displayed over that photo. I have one widget for day, one widget for date (both with photo backgrounds), and I want one widget for time. But the only way to have a widget display time is for it to have one of the widgetsmith backgrounds. Why??? This makes no sense to me. It’s not even an option to buy it, like the weather-over-photo widgets. It’s driving me nuts. I generally have no patience for depriving users of customizability, which is why I do like widgetsmith, but in this regard it is depriving me of the ability to customize and I can’t see any good reason why. Please add a time-over-photo widget. Absolutely would be 5 stars then..PinkysaurusrawrVersion: 3.2.1

Found the thing that doesn’t make the customized widget openSo basically I downloaded this app to customize my Home Screen after getting the new iOS14 but to my surprise every time I customize my widget and try to add it to my Home Screen it just won’t open and only opens up the standard, default one. I gave this app, at first, a one star review till I found the thing that won’t open up my customized widget. Now when you customize your widget and then save it, you’ll be brought back to the page where you pick between small, medium and large widget so you go to the one which you customize, you click on it and then you’ll see in the middle of the clock your customized widget but look closely on the surrounding areas (outside the clock) and you’ll see the standard, default widget there so you’ll click it and then delete it. After that you’ll get your customized widget! You’re welcome!.Fev7Version: 1.0.3

Great app, just a few minor thingsOverall this is a very nice app. There are a lot of good things about it, however there are a few minor problems. First off, I want to use a small widget for my school assignments (I usually use the reminders app for them) in the preview all of the text fits and looks very nice, but when I put it on my home screen it only displays 3 out of the 4 assignments that I have, but the 4th one is cut out. I wish that the version on the home screen looks the same as the preview. The battery widget also doesn’t have the battery percentage, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose of the widget in the first place. Sometimes there is a glitch when they are grey, but it goes away after a while. Sometimes when I put pictures there is a thin white line on the right side, so it looks strange. Overall, I like this app, but like most things there are a few small issues..Bridget🦋Version: 1.1

Great app!!Ok so to be honest this app isn't the very best it could be, BUT I think this app is amazing not only because of the amount of versatility it offers as opposed to other third party apps, but in my opinion it's also the best. Yes sure there are a couple of features that could be better but what i really want to give a round of applause for is the commitment of the developer. Props to you I can see that you've been working so hard to get out new updates that fix all kinds of thing and constantly add new features. I see that every time I go into the app store there's another update and that shows just how committed you are to making this the best possible app. I can't skim over the fact that this is also the BEST 3rd party app for widgets right now so go ahead and download it, you won't be disappointed. I'm so excited to see the new things you bring to this app!!.GlamlifegruVersion: 1.0.7

Great but stopped workingI really love the app and have made multiple widgets that work really well and look very aesthetically pleasing. I love how customizable it is and how many options there are. When I was almost done making widgets, however, it stopped working. When I tried making photo widgets following the same exact process, the default grey thing appeared. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it and still hasn’t changed. The time widget and the calendar widget also stopped updating so it’s stuck on 4:34pm and won’t change. The calendar widget also thinks it’s still September 20. Hopefully you come out with a fix for this bug soon because I love the app and would like to fix it. If there is one thing I would change, I would wish that you can remove the “Widgetsmith” name from under every single widget..DoordashwithcashVersion: 1.0.3

Small ProblemFirstly the app is amazing. My phone is perfectly customized to my aesthetic and I couldn’t be happier with the look. Unfortunately I noticed that around the beginning of Nov (2020) the widgets aren’t updating correctly any more. My calendar would still say the previous date, or my moon cycle would not be up to date. I also noticed that they look slightly fuzzy or grainy when it’s not correct. The only way I can fix it is to change the calendar to a random widget, the click on the calendar again. But as of lately, it still is grainy. Then the next day it’s stuck to the old date again. When will a update be coming out to fix this? Because I don’t want to have to find a different app but I want all my widgets to be working properly. Please respond so I know these reviews actually do work. Hope to hear from you soon..Liz5_9Version: 1.1

Personal Customization on Point!I’m here to give you guys a great rating, and to thank you for making my phone look so aesthetically pleasing. Although, I would like to make one request to the developers if this gets to their inbox. My phone looks near perfect, except I keep my Screen Time medium widget on my second page, and it’s stuck gray. I’m running an all B&W theme, (Daring, I know🥴); and would like to ask if you guys could add a Functioning Screen Time widget? Now, I understand if this would violate some policies you can or can’t forego by “looking into our phones for data”, but if this is possible, I wouldn’t doubt that me and many other users would appreciate it! Thanks again for being one of the first developers to hop on the Custom Widget train and making it so simple to do so. Hope this helps!.Kr1mxonVersion: 2.6.2

Really Good Widget App!!!I was actually looking through the other comments and noticed that a lot of them gave lower ratings because they couldn't make an individual photo appear where they wanted it to, but if I'm being honest the only reason why that wouldn't work is because you didn't look carefully at the options they gave you. I made my home screen look exactly how I wanted it too and I didn't have to make any changes to my photos (create new albums) and it worked out perfectly fine. So I ask that if you are leaving a low star rated review you check back on the app and look through your options once more, and carefully I might add. Well, if you've read all the way through this comment I appreciate your dedication and ask that you give a good rating for the app because the creator worked really hard on this!."Honestly Ron"Version: 1.0.3

I love this app!I don’t know why people are saying you can’t choose a custom photo, maybe it’s because it wasn’t available at the time or they were doing it wrong.. but I know it works for me! It’s the only app that works for me actually! The others don’t allow me to choose my own pictures for a specific widget, just put them all in and if it decides it wants to use that one then it will. Which is crap. This one allows me to choose the specific picture and size which is amazing! I also like the fact that we can choose other types of widgets from clocks, pictures, custom texts, and photos (all within the free version)! I only have one issue, you can’t add custom fonts. At least not the way I usually do it, I’ll try again and if it doesn’t work I won’t change my review. Hopefully this will be a feature added in the future..Ttsweet12Version: 1.0.3

AubreyI think that widget smith is a great app to use! I was having trouble trying to get themed widgets and then I added the app. It’s kind of funny because I downloaded the app like a week ago, and I already like it! 🤣 I would definitely say that the app gives my phone a lot of style and let’s me decorate it with things that I like, and it makes my phone seem more personalized to my liking. I also like to put funny stuff on my widgets because my friends and I like to joke around and we are just a funny/goofy group! That is pretty much all I have to say, but I definitely would rate the app a 5/5, and if I was out of ten I would rate it a 10/10 haha 😂. Alright thanks for reading this if ya did bc u probs just had you time wasted! JK JK I actually like the app no worries, and I definitely recommend downloading it!.Breebreee190037438Version: 2.6.2

Great app but some flawsJust downloaded this after updating to ios 14, and I like it a lot! I have the free version and it’s honestly good enough for me. The only thing I have an issue with is choosing which photos to feature on the widget. I wanted to put two photo widgets on my home screen, one showcasing people photos and the other showing travel photos. However, I came to learn that you can only choose a set of pictures and the two widgets will shuffle through the same pictures. So basically, 2 widgets only use 1 album; you can’t use 2 separate albums. And there’s also another flaw, there’s no button that you can press so you can select to change your photos. It only pops up when you close the app and open it again, and then click on photos. It tells you which album the photos were selected from but you can’t change it unless the notification pops up asking if you want to change your selected photos..Jd3243Version: 1.0.1

Great just a few problemsI love the app so far. It’s been great and it’s pretty easy to figure out, especially with the FAQ and such but I do find the labels annoying since you can’t change them to at least say “quote” or something like that for whatever the widget is. I would also like for there to be at least 2 or 3 of the weather widgets that aren’t premium because I feel like that’s one of the things quite a few people will most likely want and not want to have to pay to be able to have it. I also would like to be able to link different things to it like a file or photo album, I feel like that would be a pretty cool feature to have (not just for premium members). Other than that the app gives you pretty good freedom for whatever you want to do with it and thus far doesn’t have any bugs or problems..Kathy_nicknameVersion: 2.7.1

Great, Almost!Literally works perfect for me, I haven’t had any issues that the other comments are mentioning either. However, my one complaint is the photo album option. I have three photo widgets on my Home Screen, each with a different album containing only 3 pictures. I thought it would be really cool if they could sync up so I ordered the photos in a specific way in their albums, this is on an iPhone, and than I added the widgets to my Home Screen within seconds of each other. However, it didn’t match up, when I finally got 2 of them to, for some reason, the time they switched photos were different as well. It’s a bummer cause I thought it would be really cool, but oh well. What can you do? The app itself is great though, they have such colourful and customizable options!.LolimasavageVersion: 2.1

GlitchyI’ve had this app for a few years now, and it's really great! But recently, I’ve noticed that it’s been glitching out. Photo-stacked widgets will randomly duplicate the same picture or widget over and replace the other ones, even if you originally set one of the widgets to a different picture entirely. So, for example, I had 10 widgets stacked on top of each other. All the widgets had different pictures. One of them was a photo of a moon, but out of nowhere, the moon replaced almost all of the widgets; now, instead of 10 different photos, almost half of them are occupied by the moon. You have to manually change each widget back to its dedicated number. At first, I thought this was just a mistake or a problem with my phone, but even after fixing and changing the widgets, it did it again for the second time. It’s super annoying, and I think I’m going to move to a different app..Bribee412Version: 5.0.1

Great widget app but...This is honestly my favorite widget app to use for customizing my iPhone Home Screen after the new update.. but there is a little bug that’s pretty annoying. After I was done customizing my Home Screen I wanted to add a little extra widget just for fun. I did all the steps I did before, put the picture I wanted into a individual album, picked the album that I wanted to use on the Widgetsmith app and hit save. When I check how it looked like on the Home Screen, it was just the default gray widget (before adding anything). I tried to edit it and just re-select the picture I wanted but that didn’t work. I tried wit other pictures and some worked but others didn’t. I deleted that widget and made a new one. Still didn’t work. I delete the photo, uploaded it again to the Widgetsmith app and it still did not want to work. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?.Nat5644Version: 1.0.2

AMAZING, idk why so many one startsTHIS APP IS GREAT FIR IOS 14 LIKE IT MAKES YOUR HIME SCREEN SO GOOD AND IT WAS REALKY EASY TO SET UP! Ok I’m just going to get my mom to show her this app and she is not going on a trip so I’m not going on the same day so I’m not going on the same page and she said that she would be ok if she is going on a date with me or I don’t think she is ok I don’t know what about to say I though it was a joke she is not really sure tyi I would have to go back and get it to you see if she is not mad or I just don’t want her I know that I just want you guys out and I don’t think know why I don’t know what if you want me to do it I know that I’m not really sure how you are doing it I’m just going to get you a good time and I’m just going to get a hold of you you guys don’t know why I don’t want you guys don’t want me to do anything with your family I know you you know I love it.WofloVersion: 1.0.3

App with great potential but significant problemsThis review is particularly for those looking to pay for the premium subscription. I decided to pay because I really wanted a weather widget to match my Home Screen aesthetic and this was the only customizable option I could find. At the beginning the only issue I had was that I wished when you clicked the widget it would take you to more detailed weather info, but I understood this is not a weather app so I was fine dealing with that. However, I started to notice that the weather is not accurate to my location. It is significantly off from my local weather and I made sure to double check in the app that I had the right location and settings selected. Because of this, I will be cancelling my subscription to the premium services and cannot recommend until the issue is fixed, but I will continue to use the non-premium version for the photo widgets..StephiiiiiiiVersion: 1.0.7

Good but not that greatLacking in features will lack creativity. Personally i don’t know why they say they support png images when in reality they don’t, because it doesn’t work and they give us a solid color background when it should’ve been transparent. Talk about false advertisement. If they don’t step up their game, other websites that’s already making png icons and possibly png widgets are actually better than apps like these who give you the standard customization with limits. 🤷‍♂️ im really picky when it comes to any software and apps so hence why this review might sound stupid to make but hey if a customer isn’t really satisfied with results feedbacks are always welcomed. Anyways I hope they add png images like they said they “support”, anyways the app is good but like I said, limitations for ppl who do like advanced editing or like to do the extras… would have to figure out another way or wait..StansenpaiVersion: 2.7.4

An Awesome FindSo I had been looking for widget apps for a while because I wanted to organize and redo my iPad. I was looking at so many apps that were “free” to instal but costed money in the app. People mostly said that they just paid the money but I don’t want to pay money for just some widgets. But then I found widget smith. This app is so awesome. It does cost some money for the premium version but I got some really cute widgets out of this app. I just want simple bordered pictures or a widget with the time and that’s what I got! You can customize the theme with the color of the text the color of the background, and the color of the border! And they have a really good selection of colors too! If your just want simple, cute bordered pictures, then you should definitely get this app..Why are no nicnames availbeVersion: 3.2.1

Love it but...This app is genuinely so good like I swear it’s amazing for making your phone pretty and aesthetic without having to waste money. I mean of course there is a way you can spend money on the app it’s an option if you want to add more things, but it’s great if you don’t want to spend money and still want cute widgets. The one downfall is that sometimes the widgets that you want don’t show up when you try to change it. This is bad for me mainly im not sure about anyone else but I know it is for me. The reason I say that is because sometimes I don’t have time to wait 10 minutes for a widget to pop up. Today is the only exception and that’s because im going on a 12 hour car trip to cali. Other then that I can’t really have the time to wait. That’s my one complaint it’s simple but also very important for saving time..EjehdgdsuVersion: 4.1.2

If your looking to customize, this is the one.I’ve been searching and searching and looking a searching all over the place, and i see this one thinking it costs money. then after searching more i come back to it and realize it’s an optional payment. there are so many free options for a good quality app that you’ll love. don’t keep searching, and try this app instead. it’ll be worth it! i enjoyed it throughly. there are so many options, and when you stop and think it’s not so overwhelming. first, pick your size, then widget type, then fonts and customization and so much more!!! you don’t need to pay and you don’t need to make some weird profile that you don’t understand. try widget smith! come on!!!.Shannel9364Version: 4.1.3

A requestI would like to change my apps without buying the premium because then u can use other apps to put in widgets and I might not use this one and, same for other people. But, that is a really hard request to accept so I’m not looking forward to get an actual answer but it would be great if this worked. Over all this is a great app and it’s very easy to insert the widgets without using the short cut app. For people who don’t now what the shortcut app is, it is an app you can install widgets and change the color of your apps, but it’s is pretty complicated to use so I recommend this app more. In consultation, this isn’t the best app you can find to customize your home screen, but it does an decent amount of work to make your Home Screen filled with things/people/characters/colors you like!.I liek typing😀Version: 2.6

Love This App! Needs TweaksI use the app primarily for the photo displays, and it works fantastic! I love having the ability to display an individual photo as well as photo albums. I have about four different widgets on my home screens for this purpose. While the app is great, I would love a few additional features: 1. Provide more control over the next photo timing interval- maybe besides the default timing include options for 1 min., 5 min., 15 min., 30 min., and 60 min. Something like that. 2. Provide the ability to skip to the next photo in an album. Maybe a simple tap on the widget or something similarly intuitive to skip to the next photo in the sequence. 3. Provide an option to have the photos in an album display in the folder order in the widget. I believe the app currently shuffles the order (which I prefer), but having a sequential order option would be nice. 4. Provide the ability to use custom labels for the widgets on the Home Screen. While I understand the idea of promoting the Widgetsmith brand, having that label for every widget placed on the Home Screen isn’t informative/useful. I would like more descriptive customs labels, like the ones the user chooses when creating each widget in the app. Again, this is a great and very useful app. Thank you!!.Test4echoesVersion: 1.0.4

I Love It! But...I downloaded the “Widgetsmith” application a while back, and I loved the application so much, but then I added more widgets and throughout my widget making, I started to see that as I put my widgets on my Home Screen, it was always named “Widgetsmith”, which really frustrates me. My concern with this is that almost everyone I know that has an iPhone, uses this application, and they get frustrated by this too. I would recommend putting an option, when we save the widget, called “This Name Will Appear On HomeScreen” or “Type Home Screen Name For Widget Here”, or something like that. Other than that, I’m very happy with the application that the developers created! I hope you improve my concerns, and that you have a great day/night. This came from Teyah Smith. :).Hupoi huggsVersion: 1.1

Solid app. Needs some improvements.I am leaving this review after having the app for about a day. I am using it to be able to view my photo albums as a widget. That in itself is a great feature as the Apple Photos widget doesn’t have that option. I would like to ask the developer to randomize the algorithm a little more though when choosing pictures to display from the album, as I have seen the same pictures cycled through multiple times in a single day. My album has about 400 pictures so I was a little shocked by this. I would also appreciate if the app would give you the option to chose what pictures from the album are displayed. A way to skip through photos would also be nice. Overall solid start to this app and will be happily awaiting more updates..Toprating2k15Version: 1.0.2

Great App, But One ThingI just got this app and so far love it, but I came up with an idea that would be a game changer! I have not gone through the app completely so my apologies if this is already a thing. I love organizing my apps in folders, but I don’t like the way they look. It would be very useful if there was a way you could put a widget over the folder so then I will have it on my screen, but you don’t see the apps in it. For a deeper description, if I made a folder for my school apps, I could put a, for example, small widget of a photo over it. Once you click on the widget, it will take you into the folder of the apps and you move on for there. This way the folder of apps are easily accessible yet hidden. Thank you for such a great app and I hope, if it’s not already a thing, you take my suggestion into consideration!.Raylee WatleyVersion: 1.0.6

Good app, but you need to fix a FEW of things…Overall, Widgetsmith is a pretty good app. But, as all apps have, there are a few pretty annoying attributes. For example, nobody will want to pay to get weather on their widgets. Also, some of the themes that are cute are for premium only. Another pretty annoying thing is that when I create my default widget style, it never makes it the default. I always have to select the “default” option, which is all the way at the bottom. But, as this app has its downsides, it also has its upsides. I love that you can create gradient/ombré wallpapers, and the widget customization is phenomenal. Some apps that aren’t specifically designed for widgets (unlike this one) have horrible customization for widgets, but this one is good. Overall, this app is a pretty good app..HdkakdgsVersion: 4.0.4

Works fairly well, but the custom text doesn’t quite work.I’ve had this app for several months now and haven’t had a problem with it until recently. I don’t know if this is due to an update, but the option for making a widget with custom text has a glitch. You have many options as for the font, however, the first four listed (System, Rounded, New York, and SF Mono) will ONLY show up at the very top of the widget. Even if what you type is more than one line, it shrinks the size of the font down to fit it all in one line at the top. This is very annoying and disappointing. If this can be fixed I would very much appreciate it. P.S. As far as I’ve noticed, this is only with the custom text option, so if you don’t plan on using it, I think it is a great app and quite useful. (That’s why I’m giving it four stars).PJ7093Version: 2.1.1

First timerGot the app after the iOS14 update installed itself and brought its functions to my attention; the app becomes easy to use once you get the basics of it, does what I expected so that’s good. Would be nice if you could rename or hide the name ‘widgetsmith’ under the widgets, medium sized ones tend to have a weird white line on the right size of them, being able to crop photos in-app would also be good. Otherwise, it does what you want which is nice.Theycallme.trinityVersion: 1.0.6

Practically perfectI don’t get all the bad reviews? Some said it didn’t work sometimes but I have been working on my iPhone home page for a while and it worked the whole time, I’m sure the devs will slowly make it work and less buggy for other phones (I have iPhone 7) A good update would be being able to upload images to every widget not just a photo one so like a calendar widget with your own photo for the background, over all 4.5 stars. Don’t forget the app because of the bad reviews try it out first! It might not work depending on your phone..S.L.J.W.Version: 1.0.5

Widgetsmith Negative Reviews

The end of a good thing…I had been a user of the application since Apple released the update for widgets. However, after the last app update my widgets no longer work. My calendar has been stuck with the wrong date, my activity is reading from days previous, and on widgets that do not hold pertinent information, a black square is now present. I have reset my phone as well as uninstalled and reinstalled the application. At this time, none of the aforementioned items were rectified within my own hands. As such, I have to unfortunately uninstall the app completely from my phone. Hopefully, the app developer will see the issues and correct them. I loved the app when it was working appropriately and also recommended it to several others who are also experiencing the same issues. I will check back periodically for updated reviews from others to see if a resolution was reached..CeeDeeHopVersion: 5.1.3

Used to be betterI just changed phones and updated the app and boy do I wish I could undo. One of the two functions I used the app for I can’t find. I used to adore timed widgets. Where you could set a certain time for the widget to change. I know that they have albums now, which change about 15 minutes, but it would be nice to be able to make some photos occur at certain times of the day, or have one photo up for longer than another. For example, I used to be able to have a large widget change between 2 photos and a small one change between matching 5 photos where 2 small photos could match one big photo and the 3 other small photos could match the other big photo. Now it won’t synch like that. I will say it still works, no bugs. Photos show up when selected. It’s just disappointing when one of the only things I used this app for no longer shows up..KkVersion: 4.0.7
