## What is -•- (Dash Dot Dash)?

A very easy to use widget creator. Put a photo and your text (or current date) on a widget. Then put the widget on your home screen. Your friends can put widgets on their home screens and you can send pictures (e.g. selfies) to their screens.

Widget examples:
• Monthly calendar on your holiday photo.
• Yellow sticky note with a shopping list.
• A photo with your comment.
• Put a photo on your friend's screen. The data is kept in your iCloud and is shared to your friend's iCloud, so we have no access to your pictures.

This app contains optional auto-renewing subscriptions that are offered as in-app purchases. Subscriptions allow you to use the app without advertisements, and to use more features. Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period; your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase.

### 5/5 — Puts the fun in functional!

*2025-12-21*

This app works really well to put many different widgets on my desktop, and I’ve tried many widget apps before that were complicated to understand, but this is easy for me & you can customize your widgets, too! My only concern is I don’t really understand how to put my picture on my friend’s Home Screen, but it works great for my screen so I don’t really care :)

### 1/5 — Lied about free trial

*2025-12-12, version 3.3.1*

Said free trial but charged me already on day 1 of trial. Contacted apple for refund.

Soo worth it!!!! So cute and helps with organisation for highschool

### 5/5 — Works beautifully for my needs

*2025-01-23*

The lack of customization on iPhones is annoying. Using this app to customize my iPhone to a LCARS theme. Fairly straightforward to use in order to have an individual photo for each tab of my apps (banking, food/grocery, social media etc)

### 5/5 — Does the job really well

*2024-08-13*

It's simple, minimalist and concise. Just the thing I was looking for. It only supports photo widgets though and that's fine.
