## What is Photo Of The Day Widget?

Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes.
From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions.

Each Photo of the Day widget allows to view everyday one beautiful new photo.
Get some inspiration and view gorgeous photos according to your taste (landscape, astronomy, nature, macro ...).
The widget connects to some dedicated web sites providing daily RSS content with some photos.
Some web sites are already saved and organized in the application, but you can also add your favorite web site.
The title of the photo will be also displayed, and touching the photo will allow you to view the source web page, which usually contains some additional information.

Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets.

The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device.
Dark mode of iOS13  is supported.

In Today view:
You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view).
To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another.
Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

### 2/5 — Bof

*2020-09-19*

Je pensais pouvoir le servir de ce widget comme cadre photos avec mes photos perso mais non... déception.

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
Cette application affiche des photos en provenance de différents sites sur internet, afin d'avoir la surprise de voir une photo différente chaque jours.
Pour afficher une ou des photos perso, je vous conseille mon autre application "Photo Widget".
N'hésitez pas a me contacter, à mon adresse de contact sur mon site web, si vous avez besoin d'aide.

### 5/5 — Greatly enhance your Today View

*2019-12-12*

Like the My Widget app by this developer, the Photo of the Day widget greatly enhances my Toady View. I slide across to the Today View many times a day to check my calendar etc & each time I view the Photo of the Day widget.  It is great.  I highly recommend this app.  The Today View on iOS is somewhat underrated/underutilised.
