### 2/5 — WHY

*2026-08-16, version 6.12*

I was positive thinking I would get a sick wiget for free but of course, you have to pay! And I just wish that I could find one app were it’s not having people pay for a widget! It’s dumb that you have to pay for everything now. Even widgets and backgrounds! I want my phone to look cool but, the reason you have to pay for something like that is ridiculous!

### 1/5 — You can’t do anything

*2026-08-05, version 6.12*

You have to pay for everything, and that means the app is useless. I asked a friend how they did it and he said I had to watch whole lot of adds, and they don’t even have an option for that anymore.

### 1/5 — You have to pay four dollars a week in the app. It’s not worth it.

*2026-07-29, version 6.12*

Bob

### 3/5 — 🤦🏻‍♀️

*2026-06-20, version 6.12*

Bro I got this thinking it was free

### 4/5 — Photo widget

*2026-05-13, version 6.11*

Me encanta todo pruébenlo

### 5/5 — It is the best

*2026-04-11, version 6.11*

It is the best app ever

### 4/5 — Bad but good

*2026-04-03, version 6.11*

I like the app, Good stuff an hour but when I try to do a charging animation, then try and charge my phone this is about Shortcuts and plug up my phone. It says that something went wrong and I do it over again, but it still doesn’t

### 1/5 — Literally they just won't us to waste are money😑

*2026-04-01*

So I wanted to change my background so I got this app right so I download it and it's just showing me stuff and cool thing to buy but I'm a kid I don't got any money. So I pressed the x button clicked on a cool background and literally everyone one I pick wants me to pay 4.99 each week like bro no I don't want that so now I'm deleting this app because I can't even be allowed to enjoy a cool back round on my phone for once. And literally when I looked back at peoples reviews and literally it show that the developer responded and they would fix it WHEN LITERALLY THAT WAS TWO YEARS AGO AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED SHEET SO FROM NOW ON I'LL HATE THIS APP UNLESS THEY STOP WANTING ARE MONEY BRO LIKE. GET A JOB FOR ONCE MAN! 😡😡😡

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-02-07, version 6.11*

There so many great things and all of them cost money I read a review from two years ago with the response from the company that said they would make more things free but no they made it so nothings free and I’m deleting this app and if you have you should too and if you don’t have don’t get it !!!!!!

### 1/5 — Useless Unless You Pay

*2026-01-31, version 6.11*

Couldn’t even set it up to see if I even liked it.. In fact took more time than it did to download something else that does it all for free just to establish just how locked out everything is and realize it was a waste of time to even give a chance.
