Monitoring, output from your apps, you can do anything! Other options exist but none of them are this well made or easy to use. I’d give it 10 stars if I could. ### 5/5 — Funktioniert einfach! *2025-01-29* Einfach zu bedienen, einfach umgesetzt und toll einsetzbar. Der Euro ist super investiert! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2024-11-24* It was incredibly easy for me to display my API data through the app. The data from the server can be displayed directly in the headline, either prefixed or appended with custom text, or in the subheadline. For example, I have "$amount € / month" as the headline (where $amount comes from the JSON file of the API) and "with $numberOfUsers registered users" as the subheadline. Feature request: My API provides the revenue of the last 6 months as an array, and I would love for the widget to display this as a graph instead of just showing the current month's revenue as a single number. ### 5/5 — would be great *2024-08-17* it would be great if it support Xpath, Json path, regex along with replace with feature after the selector is applied. ### 5/5 — Amazing little utility with a surprising about of options! *2024-07-12* Made it super easy to pull API data into a custom widget. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Super Support *2024-07-10* Der Entwickler antwortet schnell auf Anfragen. Feature Request wurde angenommen, umgesetzt, zum Testen auf Testflight angeboten und ausgerollt. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-03-15* I was looking to place some api widgets on my home screen and this app is great. The ui is very nice and I have no problems getting it to work. However I would like to ask if it is possible to make a larger widget with more than 3 apis per widget ### 5/5 — Very cool *2023-11-22* Wait for calculations! ### 5/5 — So cool *2023-01-11* This is a brilliant App. ## Frequently asked questions about Backend widget ### What is Backend Widget?
