### 3/5 — It’s okay

*2026-02-22*

It’s a little inconvenient because you have to reopen the app every time you play a song so the widgets update. Also, I bought unlimited because you can only play 150 free songs but when I got back on the app it said I had never paid for it.

### 5/5 — ZERO ⭐️ REVIEW

*2024-08-16*

First this rating system is bull as it FORCES you to give a star to complete this review! I gave it FIVE stars so this review ACTUALLY gets seen! After wanting this to work for so long I must do this review. Do NOT bother with this app as it doesn’t work. Never updates whats playing except for an ad now and then. It not changing defeats the idea of widget. To add, you won’t find a what’s playing widget anywhere that actually works. They all stink. Yeah so giving this and ALL these type widgets ZERO STARS because that’s what they deserve. Pathetic! if it can’t work why did you bother putting in in the App Store?

### 1/5 — Don’t see widget

*2024-01-01*

I’m not seeing the widget option on my phone and I just paid for the life time.

### 1/5 — I hate it

*2023-12-19*

It won’t stop playing call me maybe

### 3/5 — It’s cool but you barley get anything

*2023-08-08*

“150 songs only”

### 1/5 — stop

*2023-07-28*

quit playing call me maybe i dont wanna listen to call me maybe

### 5/5 — So good!!

*2023-07-18*

It makes for such a cool widget, I love how the colour changes to the colour of the album of the song playing. Super easy to use as well

### 5/5 — Honestly pretty good

*2022-09-28*

After going through multiple versions, this is probably the best one because of the amount of times you can play songs (150 plays).It also tells you how many many times you have listened to songs through the app which is super cute

### 5/5 — FINALLY, IT’S PERFECT

*2022-09-01, version 1.0.0*

‌The app I had been using before worked on my old phone , but it wasn’t aligning properly on my new one.  So I tried this one out,  my expectations low, BUT IT’S SO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER APP ! It even has a completely blank name, so it’s 100% invisible compared to other widgets that have the annoying app name breaking the effect!   ⁣⁣⁣⁣

### 5/5 — Works great ‌!… On iPhone

*2022-09-01, version 1.0.0*

It works amazingly on iPhone  ‎ ‭‎ ‭ ‌　   ‎ ‭
