What's New in Launch Widgets

Minor bug fixes and improvements

Make your own Widgets

Bought this as its an excellent idea, like Siri Shortcuts widgets but you can sort your own apps. I had an issue which was actually my mistake by not clicking on a link to create the icons but the dev helped me figure it out. The only bad thing I can see is you need to open the app if it’s an AppStore app.

WORST APP EVER

how the heck am o supposed to use this. there is so instructions and it’s a waste of money

Response from developer

Hey, You click on item then add apps. It is very simple. Sorry you are unable to understand. Thanks

Great potential

Only problems I have there is no Action URL for the Safari, Home, and Mail Apps other than that it’s a great start

Response from developer

Hey, You can open your own URLs. To open Safari or your default browser enter “https://www.google.com” or any other website. We do have an action for mail too, it can be found by pressing the search button and searching for mail. This URL will open your default mail app. We hope this solves your issues. If it does, would you mind updating your review as it really helps us out :) Thanks

Possibility is There!

Great concept but the way it launches apps needs work. Having to launch the app and then hit open is inconvenient. It needs to launch directly into the app for this to be successful!

Response from developer

Hey, Thanks for your review. Currently Apple doesn’t allow us to do this. We also open the app first so we can use FaceID to lock the app. We hope Apple will allow us to improve this in the future. Thanks

meh

It has potential but I do not like when you press an icon and it opens the shortcut tab first before going to the app.

Response from developer

Hey, You can ask Apple for this change as it is out of our control. We hope you understand and consider updating your review. Thanks
