Its great!

Good app, all you need for stunning widgets

Home Widget is a terrific app

Home Widget is a terrific app. I truly enjoy using it. Home Widget lets you create colorful descriptive widgets on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. You can have widgets of shortcuts and automations, as well as elements of your home kit, network. You can customize the widgets to display just about anything you want with complete control over all details. You can change the size of the widgets, the icons, the colors, and all characteristics that you see on the screen.
It's a way to get at the information that's usually scattered over different parts of your device. The developer is very responsive to recommendations for the app. It's fun to use and saves a lot of time, having everything conveniently arranged to your own design.

Live camera mosaic!

I’ve been using this app for a while, but the new live camera mosaic is a game-changer. Instant access to all of my cameras with a single tap of a small widget on iPhone lock screen, and now from a complication on my watch. And the developer is responsive and attentive. All good!

Great App & Support

Super app, makes controlling my smart home from the Home Screen a breeze and the developer is super amenable to any suggestions or feedback you have for the app.

Sehr umfang- und hilfreich

Eine sehr umfangreiche APP, man kann alle Komponenten des Homkit in verschieden (großen) Widgets anzeigen und bedienen, die verschiedenen Batteriezustände können auch angezeigt werden. Personalisierung durch verschiedene Texte, Farben, Symbole und Hintergründe ist auch möglich. Alles soweit echt sehr gut umgesetzt und die kostenlose Testversion bietet genug Möglichkeiten alles zu testen. – Leider ist auch diese APP ein Opfer der Apple Widget Aktualisierungsbeschränkungen. Sensoren (Temp, Bewegung, Luftfeuchte etc.) werden auf den Widgets nicht zuverlässig aktualisiert, man muss die Widgets hin und wieder anklicken um die aktuellen Messwerte zu sehen. Wer das akzeptiert, bekommt eine tolle APP fürs Geld.
