I love this widget!! ### 5/5 — Great response *2021-11-12, version 1.10* Great & timely response from the app admin and they do their best to resolve user issues and consider users inputs to update the app Thanks a lot and wish them all the best ### 5/5 — Solid and reliable *2021-09-26, version 1.09* Quite satisfied with the purchase. Compared to other widget apps, this actually works 10/10 times, doesn’t freeze and there is plenty of content. ### 5/5 — Excellent time and date widget *2021-05-12, version 1.05* The best widget I have found for displaying the date and time on your Home Screen. Stable, adjustable and versatile. Well worth the pro fee for something that does a great job of giving you the basic important information that nothing else does very well. Recommend. ### 5/5 — Highly Customizable *2021-04-20* I have came across multiple custom widget apps but all of them came with limitations.However, this one gives you the powers of customise from your end with tons of options loaded. Much appreciated and Recommended.Minimalistic design and features attracts me most in this app. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your positive review! We are pleased to hear you are satisfied with the simplicity and efficiency of the Custom Widget app. It is undoubtedly a perfect addition to the customization of every home screen. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Easy to use with tons of options *2021-04-12, version 1.04* I would recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Simply THE BEST *2021-04-05, version 1.04* Thank you for developing this widget; it is one of the best I have seen. ### 3/5 — Battery Percentage Slow to Update *2021-02-01, version 1.03* I am using the latest version and the battery percentage is slow to update to the what the current percentage is actually. The app also does not save the current widget changes. This means if I want to make a change I have to first manually do the changes that I have currently set all over again. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-07-23, version 1.27* i thought this was a customizable app so i paid the $7.99 for lifetime access. however, you can’t customize the quotes to change daily. the only real customizations are for contacts and links. this app is useless ### 1/5 — iOS 16 *2024-08-16* Pour l’avoir **Developer response:** Hello there! The function of the lock screen widgets is available only for devices operating on a minimum of iOS 16. Please note that this technical limitation is not caused by us but is set by Apple. Thank you for your understanding! ### 1/5 — Not usable *2024-03-16, version 1.20* I install and paid but I cannot able to use for add widget, I follow the instructions but nothing, ### 1/5 — Scam?!? *2022-09-20, version 1.15* Why do I have this app in my update list when I don’t even have it installed? I have never downloaded this type of app. ### 1/5 — too much money for one widget *2021-07-17, version 1.07* Basically you can display the date and time wrapped around pictures ### 1/5 — ? *2021-05-05* Poor **Developer response:** Hey there! Sorry to see you've had a 1-star experience using Custom Widget. Could you please contact our Customer Support team directly via Settings inside the app and tell us more about your negative experience? Thanks! ### 1/5 — Zero stars! I would not recommend for deaf people *2021-04-26, version 1.04* No just no ### 1/5 — doesn't work *2021-01-06* created cool widget. doesn't show up. waste of money. **Developer response:** Hi there! We are sorry to hear you came across a technical issue. Please, try to re-apply the widget one more time. The app is fully working and will be indeed also for you. If you keep experiencing any issues, do not hesitate to message our customer support team directly via the app. Thank you! ### 1/5 — DO NOT PAY FOR UPGRADED VERSION! *2020-11-02, version 1.01* I’m able to create beautiful widgets using photos of my choice for the background. The trouble is, they do not work. The widget can only be added to the Home Screen using the stock background shown, or any color I choose from the options available. Adding a photo does nothing but look good within app and I cannot make it show when the widget is added to the Home Screen. There also seems to be an option to delete the background, which I believed should allow your wallpaper to show through and create a floating effect for the displayed information, but this also appears not to work either and only results in a solid white background. This is on an iPhone 11 running iOS 14.2 and I paid for the upgraded version of the app. For now I have rated the app 3 stars and emailed the developer and await a reply. I will update this review once this issue is resolved. UPDATE - the app developer emailed me back saying to remove the widget from the Home Screen and then re-add it. I had already done that however, and it still did not work. After some more time passed I tried it again and it finally worked on my iPhone 11, but it still does not work on my wife’s iPhone 11. Also I have noticed twice now that the clock will stop counting time for about 10 minutes and then it will catch up some time later. The developer said this was due to iOS not updating the app on my phone. UPDATE - the app developer acknowledged the issues in a follow up email and said they would be fixed on an app update coming in a couple of days (their words). It’s been over 2 weeks since then and the time keeping issue still persists and no app update has been made available yet. I removed the widget from my Home Screen since it takes up valuable space and serves no purpose, but I kept the app on my phone while waiting for the update since I paid for it. But without an update it is useless to me since the clock is the main use for this app. Without that there is no need to keep it, and I’m tired of waiting so I’m just going to delete it. The developer response shown below this review is the initial response given before I received the first email. The issues I described are still there. ### 1/5 — Premium Vs Free *2020-10-04, version 1.00* There are plenty of fun features here. The designation of free choices and possibilities you must pay for is unclear. I’ve wasted my time here since I will not pay for any app I’ve not been able to use well for free and I have not made choices which are. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Kohcjddbhfxcvgxx *2026-03-31, version 1.23* Hush ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-03-04, version 1.23* Best customizable app out there! Customer service is top notch. Told them I was having an issue with using my “clear” icon choice. They got together with the techies and their team just fixed it! 10 out of 10👏👏 ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-02-14* Really love the choices available and the amazing customization options. Only wish the logo “widget” wasn’t visible under each one because it isn’t necessary. Otherwise it looks great! **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for treating Widget with 5 stars! We appreciate your kind words and are glad that you are finding our app helpful. Your improvement idea will be submitted to the relevant department and considered further. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! ### 5/5 — The Best Time and Date Widget App out there! *2024-08-31, version 1.21* I love that you pay one price forever, and it does everything I need it for, with a LOT of personalization to boot! And it’s super easy to add a widget to your Home Screen once you make it. I wish you could save a widget to use over again, but hey, you can’t have it all ### 5/5 — Topshow11ggyf *2024-03-17* Topografia ### 5/5 — I can’t believe this is free *2023-04-01, version 1.18* Great app with lots of variety of how one can manipulate the app appearance to their liking. For this to be completely free, it’s amazing. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-02-16* Really love the choices available and the amazing customization options.

Works as described on the Store, both lock screen and home screen widgets in one place with plenty of designs. ### 5/5 — Amazing upgrade *2022-09-23, version 1.15* I’ve been using Widget for a couple of months, but the recent major update enhanced the app with a new feature that enables you to create customized lock screen widgets. Good job guys. As always, everything you make works a treat! ### 5/5 — Unlimited customization options *2022-09-13, version 1.14* The app has a great choice of widget features, you will find here everything you can possibly think of. My favs are the following: placing my top contacts on my lock screen for faster access when wanting to call, text or facetime, and creating home-screen widgets with the photos from my gallery used as background. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
