We hear you and will take it into consideration going forward. ### 1/5 — There’s a paywall *2026-06-09* You gotta pay to make more than one widget. Don’t get this. **Developer response:** ⁠Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the frustration. We hear you on the paywall, and we're actively looking into how to make Video Widget more useful before asking anything in return. Appreciate your patience while we work on it. ### 1/5 — I don't want to pay for widgets *2026-06-08, version 2026.23.0* I can't do anything for free💀 ### 1/5 — Im not paying bro *2026-06-06, version 2026.23.0* Im not paying for a widget 🥀 ### 1/5 — I can’t make another widget *2026-06-03* One thing I like about the app is the video widget on my Home Screen is smooth and not glitching like other apps. What I don’t like is that I can only make one widget, when I go back into the app it asks me to pay and I can’t exit out of it. Why make it free but then you have to pay for it, just make certain things cost money, but the rest adds. I was really excited to use the app, but now I’m frustrated because I can only make one widget and I can’t get behind and paywall **Developer response:** Thanks, really glad the widget runs smooth for you, that's exactly what we aim for and where we spend a huge amount of time. I hear you on the widget limit and the paywall, and I'm sorry it left you frustrated. Your feedback on the free-vs-paid balance genuinely shapes what we build next. ### 1/5 — The worst app i ever used in my entire life *2026-05-24* They didn’t even let me upload one video . They straight up ask me to pay . Tf is thatt??? Feel like they r robbing **Developer response:** Hello Charlotteevelyn, We hear you—it's frustrating to be asked to pay before uploading videos, and we understand how that feels. We're checking into this to ensure our pricing is clearer. If you have more details or specific concerns, please reach out through the in-app support option. We hope you might discover features you enjoy in the future! 😊 ### 1/5 — Are we serious😭🥀 *2026-05-18* You can make one widget then it won’t let you leave a subscription sign up even if u reset **Developer response:** ⁠You should never be stuck on the subscription screen with no way out, and we're sorry. That sounds like a bug on top of the paywall frustration, and we're looking into it. In the meantime, please message us via in-app support so we can help you directly. ### 4/5 — Ibi *2026-05-15* Bonjour, J’aime beaucoup beaucoup cette application, c’est pour cela que je l’ai acheté. Serait-il possible de mettre en favoris les vidéos que j’ai choisi. Parce que, quand on n’a plusieurs vidéos on n’arrive plus à avoir les toutes premières, et je voudrais quand même les garder. Que pensez-vous de ma demande?? Merci d’avance **Developer response:** Merci pour vos commentaires sur Ibi ! Nous apprécions votre enthousiasme pour l'application et comprenons votre envie de sauvegarder vos vidéos préférées. Nous travaillons actuellement à l'ajout d'une fonctionnalité permettant de marquer des vidéos comme favorites, afin que vous puissiez y accéder facilement à l'avenir. N'hésitez pas à nous contacter via la fonctionnalité d'assistance de l'application afin que nous puissions bien comprendre votre demande. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-05-10* I saw it on TikTok saying it’s complete free after 10 mins of sighning in it say ok now let’s sort out a subscription 1:99 a week or £2:99 a month **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this. To be clear, we don't run any ads saying Video Widget is completely free, so if you saw one on TikTok it wasn't from us. The app is free to download, and creating widgets currently needs a subscription. If you still have that ad, please send it to support@videowidget.com so we can get it reported and taken down. We're also looking into making our own messaging clearer. ### 4/5 — Hangman *2026-05-09* _u__is_ **Developer response:** 😄 Oh, we solved it... and that's a cheeky word to sneak under 4 stars! We'll happily take the stars and keep working to prove that guess wrong. Thanks for the laugh! 🎬 ### 1/5 — I hate this, wouldn’t try that much unless.. *2026-04-28* It’s great when you can make widgets but since you locked it behind a “free” paywall people don’t want to make widgets or can’t anymore, it’s stupid how you must pay to do a free thing, why don’t you just do ads instead? That way people can make widgets without a paywall and you still get money because of them doing it, and I don’t like how when you click on the widget it says locked or whatever and it tells you you have to pay to get it back. 1/10 unless you do something else to get money like ads. **Developer response:** This is genuinely useful, thank you. You're not the only one suggesting an ad-supported option instead of a paywall, and it's something we're looking into. We want to make access fairer, and feedback like this really helps. Appreciate you taking the time to lay it out. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TESTVERSION *2026-09-05* Die Widgets halten nicht mal richtig lange und dann Bam kann man sie nicht mehr benutzen Einfach schlecht ### 1/5 — Worst app I ever downloaded *2026-08-15* You can’t even make 1 video widget when u start DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! **Developer response:** Sorry the start felt that bad. That's not the first impression we want. We hear you on hitting a payment screen so early, and we're rethinking that experience. If you're open to it, message us via in-app support and we'll do our best to make it right. ### 1/5 — greedy *2026-08-06, version 2026.29.0* used to think this was good but not even two days after getting it, it asks for money. and its expensive asf too. hell nah ### 1/5 — GURL WHY…? *2026-08-01* I’ve heard from like EVERYBODY it’s free but oh look what comes up I can’t do the free trial I’ve got to pay now and it’s not letting me show all the photos. I think you should actually do it free I’m not just tell everybody it is and just make a lie about it. That’s why I’m deleting it. Please send help and fix this problem. **Developer response:** Sorry for the letdown. Expecting free and hitting a payment screen is a rough start, and we understand the frustration. We're working on making the experience clearer and fairer. If you'd like help with anything, message us via in-app support. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-07-27* I tried it and it was good but then the next day it said my trial was gone? And I had to pay more? Just for a widget? That makes no sense and I don’t like it anymore since u need a trial thingy for money just for a widget. **Developer response:** Sorry it felt that sudden. We hear you, and that's fair frustration. We're rethinking how the trial and pricing work. If you message us via in-app support, we'll gladly look at your specific case. ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-07-16* ?? Trial expired? Thought it was good until I had to pay after using for 2 days and a half. Btw it’s 4 dollars per week and 0.38 per week for yearly. I don’t think they’re should be a trial for a gif widget app but who’s gonna stop? **Developer response:** Thanks for laying out the numbers honestly. We hear you on whether a widget app should ask this at all. That question comes up a lot, and it's genuinely shaping what we do next. If anything felt off with your trial, message us via in-app support and we'll take a look. ### 1/5 — $40…A YEAR❓❗️😒 *2026-07-07, version 2026.27.1* That pricing is insane. How about $40 for lifetime access❓ ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-07-05* Literally can’t use the app. Everything is locked behind a paywall. Seriously why isn’t there an ad watch option instead. **Developer response:** You're not the first to suggest an ad-supported option, and it's something we're seriously considering as a way to unlock features without paying. Thanks for the suggestion. Noted for real, not just review-reply noted. ### 1/5 — It has a catch *2026-07-04* It works and is easy to use, the video is also very clear, but you can only have the video for a short amount of time before it says you have to pay for it. The text blocks the widget and puts a blur on it alongside a lock image. If you are willing to pay for it I suppose it is worth it but it is quite expensive. **Developer response:** This is one of the fairest critical reviews we've had, thank you. You're right that the lock and blur experience isn't pleasant, and we're rethinking both that and the pricing. Glad the quality itself worked well for you. ### 1/5 — Nice features but demanding money *2026-06-26* Overall, this app is nice and has amazing features, it demands you for money, not worth it! **Developer response:** Really appreciate the honest feedback, and I hear you on the price. We're on it. Thanks for giving us a fair shot. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Liked it *2026-06-21* Very good👍 **Developer response:** Thank you! 👍 Really glad you liked it. ### 5/5 — I like it *2026-06-21* My video is really cute **Developer response:** ⁠Hi, thank you so much!
