Pls make work

This was going to be so fun to have for the election but it doesn’t work. Great idea and can’t give a low rating for a small developer. Pls fix

Great

Great app! One question: is it possible to change the font size of the website in the widget? Thanks a lot.

There is no widget

I thought this app was supposed to be a widget for my Home Screen. I went into the app and added a website but there is no widget for this app in the list of widgets when I tap the + on my Home Screen. I’m not sure if this is a bug but it seems like a pretty major oversight for an app who’s whole purpose is Home Screen widgets.

Updates cause total deletion of widgets contents

I tried this app for one reason - to add four webcam links to my phone screen. This app does a beautiful job of it.

We have a local ferry system that requires a lineup and we use the webcam links to check on the current wait/lineup.

Having the widgets purged every update is the showstopper unfortunately.

unhappy with the performance of this widget

Really really unhappy with the performance of this widget. Once I set it up, invariably, within 24 hours, the website literally just disappears and the widget says I have to pick a URL. When it is being set up, the small window size set up does not match up with what I’ve set after I go back and save it. I have to scroll the square window around to some other area to have it actually show what I want on the final home screen. Been playing with this now for more than two weeks on a daily basis. It never works right for longer than a few hours or a day if I could even get it set up to look like what I want onscreen
