Display your own content quickly and easily

As one who almost NEVER makes reviews of things I couldn’t avoid telling you how great this app is! If you like to have single screen visuals of many things you want to be fast to pull up on your device this is the app for you! Also this app works well with widgets to display any selected content on your Home Screen! It’s a must have!

Just get a free alternative

There’s no reason to pay $1 for this. Just get one of the free alternatives because it doesn’t add anything new. It actually lacks some features that others have like being able to shuffle through a list of photos.

Feel free to do so. Just be aware that when an app is free, there are big chances that it contains ads or that they use your information to make money in a way or another.

Sad

Please, like the other apps like photo widget etc. Put “requires iOS 14” at the top, this app doesn’t have that and it’s makes me think that you can put widgets on your home screen without Ios14. Waste of money, I did not pay a dollar to see my photos on today’s views. I really wasted a dollar for this...welp time to delete

Hi, The app does not require iOS 14, and it existed before iOS 14. Initially, with this app you could add photos as Today View widgets. Those kind of widgets existed since iOS 8, and they are displayed in the the Today view. IOS 14 made it possible to create new kind of widgets : Home screen widgets. Those widgets (that can have 3 different sizes) can be added on your Home screen on iPhone (they can also be added in the Today View on iPhone and iPad). So, with the iOS14 release, I have adapted my app to also handle those Home screen widgets (but the older Today View widgets are still handles). If you are looking for Home screen widgets that would work on iOS13, and lower, then you are out of luck : You will never find some on the App Store, since Apple only added this feature with iOS14.

For a paid app, not quite 5 stars.

Great app, works well, but, feels more complicated than it is, or, its is more complicated and a tutorial needs to be accessible.
Also, if the “PW” logo was superimposed in the corner of the image instead of saying “photo w.” under neath, that would look a lot more pleasing esthetically.

Thank you. About the name below the photo widget, unfortunately, it is not possible to remove it (or even customise it). It is automatically set to the name of the app by Apple. Hopefully they will allow to change that in a future iOS update.

Great app - great developer

A really useful app with iOS 14 and older versions. Has some features that some other photo apps don't have. The developer also works fast to fix any problems. Good work!

Bilder verschwinden

iOS 14: Nach ein paar Tagen wird nur noch das erste Bild vom ersten Widget angezeigt, die anderen sind auch in der Liste der verfügbaren Widgets nicht mehr da.

Einzige Hilfe: Löschen, neu installieren, alle Foto-Widgets neu einrichten. Nach dem 5. Mal hab ich es dann runtergeworfen.

Die neueste Version 5.0.5 sollte das Problem beheben, dass einige große Widgets nicht richtig angezeigt werden. Sie können mich unter contact@pacolabs.com kontaktieren, falls Sie immer noch Probleme haben.

Black Screen

I’ve restarted my phone and I still have a black screen.
I had it for 3 days and nothing has changed.

Broken large widget

Latest update breaks the largest widget on the home screen. Just displays a large black box. I’m using this app to display multiple images using stacks. ☹️

Pretty much perfect

This app is exactly what I was looking for and is totally worth the price. I’m even more impressed that you can do photo grids and they always come out perfectly. Having pictures on my Home Screen just gives my phone that true custom feel. My only wish though is that I could name each photo array in the app so when I’m looking for the correct one in the widget editing section I can just quickly look for the name I chose and then apply it instead of seeing Photo 1 (List 1) etc. Other than that there is nothing else I could ask for. This is definitely one of my favorite iOS 14 compatible apps.

Hi, thank you very much for your review. You are right, something, like a name, should be added. I still have to finish the basic adaptation of my other widgets apps, but once done, I'll definitely improve that)
