### 5/5 — Add the large size widget to your Today View — looks great

*2022-10-25, version 1.0.1*

In the absence of an official IG widget — Lacuna fills the gap. 
I’d probably forget about IG if it weren’t for Lacuna. Really enjoy seeing IG pics in my Today View.

### 5/5 — Intervals too long

*2021-06-30, version 1.0.1*

A shorter interval say 60s or 30s or 10s or 1 minute or 15s would be better otherwise this is a good widget

### 5/5 — Useful

*2021-04-23*

I really love this app. It’s super useful to see what’s going on with my feed without having to get distracted by the whole app.
