Very useful, but needs work.
However, I have had many problems with the editor. After a little bit of working on a flow, it becomes impossible to select variables, forcing me to start from scratch. I have also issues with specific actions, such as regex replacing not being properly implemented, and post requests not working properly.
Overall, I still definitely recommend this app if you are prepared to invest a little time to get the widget to work like you want.
I hope the developer can improve this app in the future. Developer, reply to this review, and I’d be happy to provide you with more information about the issues I am facing with Power Widgets. Let’s get this app to 5 ★s!
Junk.
Response from developer
Some actions are not available. If so, it won’t be able to load the shortcut. You can try building it in the in-app editor instead.
Needs a lot of work done
I tried making a widget to show current temperature but was unable to find any way to convert it from °C to °F
The keyboard sometimes disappears when working in flow.
Great premise, but location services don’t work
Additionally, it would be great to get HomeKit statuses as an option.
Until either of those is fixed, unfortunately this is pretty useless.
Flow is unusable, very buggy
Add an item to a flow? It glitches out and adds four, gotta start completely over. No way to remove items. I’ve tried press and hold, swipe, etc.
Was super excited to see this, really disappointed to try and use it after this update. The menus seem completely unusable. Half the X buttons don’t work to close out dialogs.
Response from developer
Sorry about the issues! The user guide is still for version 1 and needs to be updated. As for deleting actions, please try tapping on the icon on the action and selecting “Remove”
Horrible Glitchy App
When I finally managed to add one it wouldn’t load correctly.
Overall just a waste of time.
Response from developer
Version 2.0.0 is out now and refactors the apps internals to improve stability
Please update ‼️‼️‼️
Response from developer
Please try version 2.0.0, which came out today. It has many fixes and improvements, including Lock Screen Widgets.
It works!
Response from developer
I’m sorry it isn’t working for you! Typically this happens because the HomeScreen does not have access to your Google account, and is unable to load the sheet. You may want to try using a publicly viewable link. In Google Sheets, you can share so that “Anyone with the link can view”. If you copy the share link this gives you into Power Widgets, the widget can access the sheet even from the HomeScreen. I hope you’re able to get it working!
