Simplicity wins every time and this app is that. Clean, easy to setup & use. You can’t put the actual widget on your Home Screen, or if you can, I can’t figure it out. You can put it on your far left search screen but that takes a swipe. The icon you can add to your Home Screen does allow you to open a couple of preselected apps. It’s nice but kind of bulky. You can pay to upgrade but I have no idea what that entails...would be nice to have the details here, or even in the app, about what features & benefits you get. I hope the developer continues to improve this app, I think this is a good start. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-10-20, version 3.2.0* It’s terrible it makes you pay and doesn’t even show all apps ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware! *2020-10-01, version 3.2.0* I feel like I got suckered into paying the 99 cents. Does Not Work! Avoid this app ... and this developer :( ### 1/5 — No Interface *2020-09-28, version 3.2.0* It doesn’t create widgets at all. I even spent 99¢ to see if i could get widgets for my social media and there’s not way to get widgets through this app. super lame ### 1/5 — Shortcuts hard to use *2020-09-28, version 3.2.0* I can’t find how it works ### 1/5 — Misleading! *2020-09-27, version 3.2.0* Though it was the native shortcut app that I deleted last year! I would like a refund! ### 1/5 — waste of time *2020-09-27, version 3.2.0* not good or helpful everything locked by a pay wall ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work. *2020-09-26, version 3.2.0* This app doesn’t work and it stole my .99 ### 1/5 — I’m confused *2020-09-26, version 3.2.0* I watched so many tutorials and none of them work because mine looks different?!?!
