## What is Sci?

Customize your iPhone or iPad with Sci-Fi and Space wallpapers, Home Screen Image Widgets, and Clock/Date Widgets.

INCLUDES:
- 260+ square and rectangle Image Widget Backgrounds in many styles (or add your own images)
- 130+ backgrounds or use a color gradient for the Clock/Date Widget
- Icon packs in 13 styles with 2,000+ icons to set with the Shortcuts app
- A large variety of wallpaper for Home / Lock screens to perfectly fit every size iPhone / iPad
(Always adding more wallpaper, so check periodically)

WIDGET DIRECTIONS
Add a widget to your home screen in the usual way (long press the home screen and when in jiggly mode press the '+' on top. Scroll down to Sci-Fi Themes and select the size you want [do this for each size you want]). Long press the widget to change the theme from the images you set in the app. 

Some of the Sci-Fi styles are modeled after popular sci-fi shows and movies. The look like they should work, even with indecipherable meaning or function. And just like the props, iOS gives them the same functionality - NONE. It's parody how the sci-fi designers thought future displays would look while being impossible to use.

*These are generic images. Please do not ask me in reviews or by mail to include any trademarked names, logos, images or other properties. I respect copyrights and will not include them.

If used in tandem with my calculator widget, icon maker, widget maker, keyboard, and ringtones apps, you can really create a fuller theme.

### 4/5 — Needs update

*2026-02-15*

Love everything, but please update for iPhone 17.

**Developer response:** It is updated now. Please try it. I hope it earns the 5th star.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-01-14*

Despite what this app says it doesn’t do anything possibly trying to steal your info and break Apple TOS

**Developer response:** It lets you set photo widgets and wallpaper for a cool looking home screen. If you aren't seeing the images, perhaps you didn't grant the permission to add to images? Please open your phone settings -> Apps -> Sci-Fi Themes -> and be sure it is allowed to add photos, and cellular data.
*Maybe try it again now that it's had a massive update. Now includes icon packs and a clock widget and many more materials.

### 4/5 — not really that good…

*2025-07-28*

I feel like I wasted $4 because the wallpaper is good but the widgets WOULD be good if when you had it on your iphone pinned it didnt say “sc fi themes” under each every widget. its very tacky looking tbh. also like, whats the point of widgets when all it is is linked to this app only?? likeee kinda pointless.

**Developer response:** Unfortunately, I can't use my app widget to open like the calendar app. For that kind of functionality, you would need an Android which is less restrictive. I'm doing the best I can to bring customization to iOS with the limited tools Apple allows. Please rate based on what's possible for 3rd-party developers.
*It is updated now. Please try it. It now includes a Clock/Date widget, icon packs, and a lot more materials. I hope it earns the 5th star. *iOS now has large mode which will hide the widget name.

### 1/5 — Unknown Error

*2025-05-05*

App still have some bugs to work out. Each time I attempt to download a wallpaper.  
ERROR
Unknown error
Is posted.$3.99 wasted….

**Developer response:** It works fine on the latest iOS. Perhaps you didn't grant the permission to add to images? Please open your phone settings -> Apps -> Sci-Fi Themes -> and be sure it is allowed to add photos, and cellular data.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPad Pro

*2025-04-16*

Keep getting an error message. Have not been able to get any photos to download, keeps giving me error message. Waste of money. Can I get a refund?

### 5/5 — Best Sci-Fi Themes Wallpapers + Image Widget – A Must-Have!

*2025-03-28*

I rarely leave reviews, but when an app truly deserves recognition, I make an exception. Sci-Themes Wallpapers + Image Widget is one of those rare finds! I don’t understand some of the poor reviews I read - confusing based on my experience using the app.

Before purchasing, I read the app description carefully, so I knew exactly what to expect. I was not disappointed —high-quality sci-fi and futuristic wallpapers with a seamless widget experience. While nothing is animated (yet!), the static designs are so immersive that they bring my iPhone to life as if it were a piece of 24th-century technology.

The wallpapers are vibrant, ultra-detailed, and perfectly optimized for all screen sizes, ensuring no distortion or pixelation. The image widget feature is a fantastic touch, allowing me to customize my home screen with sci-fi visuals that match my chosen aesthetic.

The app is smooth, intuitive, and free of glitches. It’s clear that a great deal of time and effort went into crafting these designs. If you take the time to read the detailed instructions, setup is straightforward, and the results are stunning.

As a longtime sci-fi fan and tech enthusiast, I highly recommend this app. I’m already planning to purchase the developer’s other apps and experiment with combining them for even more customization. I’m also excited to see what future updates and releases bring! Well done!

5/5 Stars – A must-have for every sci-fi lover and Trekker!

### 2/5 — Unable to use

*2024-11-27, version 5.0*

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

Open the app, attempt to download a wallpaper and  continue to receive:
Error:Unknown Error.

No problem making a widget though.

### 2/5 — Cool idea, functionality bricked for 18.2 so far

*2024-11-09*

On the beta, the widget doesn’t show as an option in adding widgets. Hopefully this will be fixed before release. 

Also, wallpapers are slightly off on iPhone 16 pro max

**Developer response:** It is updated now. Please try it. It now includes a Clock/Date widget, icon packs, and a lot more materials.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-08-03*

Yeah not sure if why I expected much when I downloaded this but it’s definitely a trick scam. Everything else in here can be found on the first page of a quick google search

**Developer response:** I created these wallpapers and widget backgrounds myself. Hundreds of each, and perfectly sized (been doing it for over a decade for Android).
*It is updated now. Please try it. It now includes a Clock/Date widget, icon packs, and a lot more materials.

### 1/5 — Star Trek Heavy

*2024-07-27*

It may as well be Star Trek rather than Sci fi. No decent Start Wars content. Feel like I’ve wasted ££

**Developer response:** It is updated now. Please try it. It now includes a Clock/Date widget, icon packs, and a lot more materials - like what you are looking for ;-)
