## What is BigWidget?

BigWidget bigs up the numbers you check most — time, date, weather, and
battery — into huge, glanceable readouts styled the way you want: a true
neon glow, an old dot-matrix board, chalk on a slate, seven-segment digits,
flowing script, and a dozen more.

**4 readouts, as big as you want them**
Time, date, weather, and battery, each in its own tile. Show all four or
just the one you check constantly — BigWidget rearranges itself to fit, from a single full-screen clock to a four-up dashboard.

**17 ways to draw a number**
Neon tubes. Dot matrix. Seven-segment. Chalk on slate. Flowing script.
Ornate calligraphy. A mechanical typewriter. A varsity jersey numeral. A
clock face and radial gauges, for an analog read at a glance. Every style
is hand-built from shapes, not a font, so they all share the same bold,
oversized proportions.

**30+ color schemes**
From single, saturated colors to a classic multi-color neon sign to a full rainbow — every character its own color. Feeling festive? Switch to
Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's, Patriotic, or Easter palettes.

**Random, if you can't decide**
Flip on Random and every tile gets a fresh combination of style, color, thickness, and glow — a new look every single minute, all on its own.

**Widgets that match, or do their own thing**
Add BigWidget to your Home Screen at any size, from a small single
readout up to an extra-large dashboard. Set a widget to "Match App Style" to mirror whatever you've set in the app, or give it its own independent look. Works great in StandBy, too — dim and glowing on your nightstand.

**Built for iPhone Duo, other iPhones and iPad**
A fluid layout adapts to any size and orientation — iPhone, iPad, Slide Over, Split View — so your readouts always fill the space they're given.

Real weather, a live battery reading, and a look that's entirely yours.

That's BigWidget.
