User reviews

Really cool widgets!

There are so many options! I love the terminal aesthetic and the newly added themes look so good. I’d love to see more medium sized widgets added tho.

5 Stars

I absolutely love Backtick! The variety of widgets available makes it really easy to customize everything exactly how you want it. My favorite is definitely the large console widget—it looks awesome and is incredibly useful.

The terminal-style design is also super cool and gives the app a unique look that really stands out from other apps. Overall, Backtick is a great combination of functionality and style. Definitely a 5-star app in my book!
