Also I know most of this is because of iOS and not the developer. I have been looking for a simple photo widget for my home screen and this was the best choice and the most reasonably priced. The only suggestion I would make is for the transition between photo changes, there should be an option to apply a time to all photos at once instead of individually. ### 4/5 — Help please *2020-12-08, version 2.3.4* How do I use this app I have downloaded photos but don’t know what to do next !!!!! Please help I’m not the best with technology!!!! Thank you ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2020-12-07, version 2.3.2* This app is great and all! But whenever I try to put certain photos on the widgets they just go back to saying “edit widget photo here” I hope you will see this and tell me why it’s doing this. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Use to love this app *2020-12-07, version 2.3.2* This was the first app I found when ios 14 came out and it was honestly the best. I have since told many about it and told them to download it. But recently my pictures all went grey with a message saying “Edit widget to choose a photo” but every time I choose the photo it does not work. Only 2 of my photos show and all of the rest give me that issue. I hope it gets fixed because I do not want to have to go find another widget app. ### 3/5 — Gros bug *2020-12-06, version 2.3.2* Certains ne marchent plus comme ça sans raison. Je ne comprends pas. Les photos sont toujours sur l’appli je n’ai rien fait ### 4/5 — pratique mais bcp de bugs *2020-11-09, version 2.1.3* je ne peux pas changer mes widgets sans que l’appli crash et que je doive la reinstaller mais sinon super appli mrc ### 4/5 — If I could rate this 4.9 stars I would *2020-11-01, version 2.0.1* This app is the easiest for widgets as the steps are so simple and quick I did m screen in about 15 minutes and my sister using widget smith took about an hour which was great!🤩 I just found that some photos dont work so if this could be sorted please help! Loved this app glad it only took me a few minutes to do rather than hours🎉 ### 3/5 — Used to work... *2020-10-27, version 2.0.1* I downloaded it a while back when iOS 14 came out and it worked great. I then updated it and was able to add names to photos ect. Recently the app wasn’t opening AT ALL so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it hoping it would fix itself and now I cannot even upload a single photo. I really liked this app hopefully it can be fixed. Update: so it only lets me use certain photos others I have to crop them in order to use them😩 if we can get that fixed That would be awesome. ### 3/5 — Okay but.. *2020-10-21, version 2.0.1* This was really easy to use and worked great! Unfortunately, after a few weeks all the pictures that I have installed are blurry (like the were HD but are now really low quality) I’m not sure if it’s something I can fix. Otherwise it’s a great app ### 4/5 — Widget limit *2020-10-15, version 2.0.1* Just download app, was easy to use. But it limits me to two widgets. Sometimes I can load a third widget but it is rotated. I like this app over widget smith but widget smith I can put many widgets on my screen. Some pictures will not load after I have 2 widgets, but if I delete 1 widget I can add the picture. ### 3/5 — Nice app but it gets worth *2020-10-14, version 2.0.1* When you instale this app is gonna work pretty good but some weeks later the quality is getting worth so you have to restart your phone to get that quality as new but then you are not gonna be able to add more photos so you can only choose the photos that you already put in after you installed. ### 3/5 — Help *2020-10-13, version 2.0.1* I have this app an I really like it but all my photos have gone on sideways an I can’t change how they go on ### 3/5 — Used to work *2020-10-11, version 2.0.1* I got this app when I got the iOS 14 update and it worked way better than all the others and it was great but unfortunately it updated a few days ago and then I started having trouble. Whenever I would open it it would crash so I deleted it and reinstalled it and now it doesn’t allow any pictures I want to be used. This is probably just a glitch but after reinstalling it again it still wasn’t better, I hope the developers could maybe see if this could be fixed because it’s the only PhotoWidget app I like to use :/ ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2020-10-11, version 2.0.1* At first this was the only photo widget app I could find that actually worked then when I tried to add new photos to my Home Screen it wouldn’t let me. I tried deleting the app and re downloading it and now it won’t let me add a single photo. I’m so sad, I really liked this app ### 4/5 — Good app in the works *2020-10-10, version 2.0.1* For some reason I can’t add a picture that I saved after updating my app. Any of my old pictures will add correctly but nothing I want to use. Seems to be a good app idea however ### 4/5 — lol *2020-10-06, version 2.0.0* veramente bella e comoda, peccato che ogni tanto si blocca e devo reinstallarla e rifare tutto da capo, per il resto bellissima ### 4/5 — Tres bien *2020-10-04, version 2.0.0* C tres bien mais j’ai un beug quand j’ouvre l’application et se referme directement j’ai beau la désinstaller et réinstaller c la meme.si vous pouvez me répondre merci... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2021-11-03, version 2.6.5* Paid for full version and nothing happened. Paid again and same result ### 1/5 — doesn’t work *2021-06-29, version 2.5.4* i payed for the full version and then it said i didn’t have it, and just kept prompting me to spend more money. i tried the demo thing instead and it wouldn’t even let me pick photos. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-10-07, version 2.0.1* Can only add certain photos to this. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-10-03, version 2.0.0* yo so mine keeps crashing and won’t let me change pictures ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2020-09-25, version 1.0.2* No price on description!!! I didn’t know it was a purchase ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-09-21, version 1.0.2* I was selecting images on the app itself and added the widget to the screen. However the amount of times I chose what one I wanted it to be (following the instructions by the way) it wouldn’t work ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2020-09-21, version 1.0.2* Don’t work ### 1/5 — Dumb *2020-09-20, version 1.0.2* It’s so dumb it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-09-20, version 1.0.2* Can’t get this to work rubbish don’t download ### 2/5 — The app itself *2020-12-07, version 2.3.2* The app was okay at first I got the iOS update. But when the app got updated recently my pictures were gone and I couldn’t get them on my Home Screen. Yet I only got some of them but not the ones that I wanted back on the Home Screen. So I try restarting my phone but it still didn’t have the original pictures on my Home Screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — MUITO BOMM *2020-12-06, version 2.3.2* E MUITO PERFEITO INDICO MTO ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-12-04, version 2.2.4* Works just as described! ### 5/5 — O modo multi-photo não funciona direito *2020-11-19, version 2.1.3* Por favor arrumem isso ele até funciona mas tem momentos que ele para em determinada foto e não vai mais ### 5/5 — 👍 *2020-10-25, version 2.0.1* Good app ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2020-10-19, version 2.0.1* Liked this a lot before and love it even more now that you can name your photos in the gallery! Many thanks to the developer. ### 5/5 — This app was kinda easy to figure out *2020-10-09, version 2.0.1* Even though you had to remember what photo was what I really like it ### 5/5 — Excellent App to Display Photos on Your Home Screen *2020-10-07, version 2.0.1* This is exactly what I was looking for. Something that did one thing, and one thing well: show photos on my Home Screen. And unlike Apple's implementation of its photo widget, this one allows you to select which photos to present. ### 5/5 — Great *2020-10-04, version 2.0.0* Plz don’t make it to where u have to buy ### 5/5 — Definitely recommend *2020-10-01, version 1.0.2* This photo widget app is by far the best out of all the ones that I had to try. The other ones would put only one of the pictures that you would insert and it would be the same one every time but this one was easy and you were able to choose your picture simply.10 out of 10 recommend ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2020-09-27, version 1.0.2* I struggled with Widgetsmith and a few other apps to get my photos on my home page. This app does exactly that and is super straightforward to use. I love that I can add more photos to it right from my home page. I highly recommend you try this out! ❤️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
