### 5/5 — Great

*2023-10-17*

This is a great widget, it uses the space at the very top of the widget set on the lock screen to show the bitcoin price alongside the date which is a great idea to maximise the wallpaper but make the best use of that area.

One change I’d like to see is having it display the price as an integer in dollars rather than showing the cents as well but other than that it’s sweet.
