Disgusting, basically forced me to pay to use what they said would be free when I first downloaded. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed and didnt cost *2026-08-01* 5 stars, fire ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-07-27* Not doing what it says! ### 5/5 — Good And Useful App *2026-06-20* It is better to allow more slides, why it is restricted to 15? Provide the option to make bold and colouring of individual letters instead of total slide ### 2/5 — Pay *2026-05-28* It was working great until it stopped working and I thought it wouldn’t have to make me and pay but it did and now I can’t get my widgets back where I want it to be and now I don’t want to pay because I thought it would just be one for free but no I have to pay ### 1/5 — No save *2026-05-22, version 1.6* Why? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-05-15* Suppose to be free, it isn’t. Can’t type in the text you want. ### 5/5 — fun *2026-04-19* write ### 1/5 — Too Bad ( Horrível) *2026-04-02* All The widgets are purchased ( todos os widgets são pagos ) ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2026-03-25* Great app with functionality to have custom text on lock screen and also the ability to trigger shortcuts! ## Frequently asked questions about Any Text Widgets ### What can I display on my lock screen or home screen with this app?
