An Awesome Find
So 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.

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.

Offers alot for free! Needs a few bugs ironed out
Love the variety of different styles and functions of widgets, it offers alot more than most other free apps and has unique things too like countdown widgets :)
but there are a few small issues, using the same example again the countdown timer isnt calculated correctly :/
specifically, september 19th is 70 days away (depending on timezone) but widget smith says its 63 days away for some reason? ive tried resetting a few things but no luck
Still really sweet tho! I love the customisability :)

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!

Ummmmmmmm
So, I’m not sure if it is just me but I can’t actually add widget’s to my home screen, so there isn’t a no use in this app. The reason for two stars rather than one is that the other features work ok, so I am able to edit widgets and select photos. It is sometimes a bit needy, like it wants access to your photos otherwise u can’t choose photos and if u choose select photos it gives access to all of them for some reason? I will delete the app after this because it is a waste of time for me and there is no point in this app if it can’t actually add widgets to my Home Screen. Anyway, I will try to update it and see, but yea. If u have like three days patience to actually figure it out then go ahead and download. Anyway, I’ll see what happens. This app has amazing potential, but just it is not applied properly

Decent
When i got this app all my friends had got it and all these famous social media stars had got it as well. I started with it and loved how i could put pictures and times and make them really cool but when i wanted to put up a banner around the photo really all i could put was basic ones and i didn't like this as a uni student i didn't have enough money to pay for it and to be honest I didn’t really want to. The app was good but it needs more features for free and i also think it needs something more clearer to show how to change your home screen. Good but needs more work and more free things.

Good but not that great
Lacking 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.

Love!
I’ve been looking for widget apps all over and they all need you to purchase for the simple widgets, this app is easy, fun and ad free
Can’t exactly customize
So 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!!

Great just a few problems
I 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.
