Response from developer

Hi there! Thank you for your review! New photos are added daily, just as before. However, if you only use the widget and never open the app, the widget might’ve stopped working recently. I decided to focus on the core app experience and deprecate the widget to emphasize the educational aspect, not just nice pictures. The first fruits of this shift in focus are already here: v6.27 ships with “AI follow-ups” which add another layer of educational value to the photos. This feature is gradually rolling out to all users, and I’d love to get your feedback once you’ve tried it! The widget may return in the future, but for now I just don’t have the resources to support it. I apologize for that—working as a solo developer comes with hard choices sometimes.
