### 1/5 — Out of Date

*2024-06-25, version 3.2.0*

Didn't notice it had not been updated in 3 years. The editor doesn't work. It glitches out and crashes. You can use some of the widgets only if you can see them to click on them and if you don't edit them from the base design.

### 5/5 — App is great!

*2023-08-19, version 4.2.1*

Would love the ability to remove the comma from the date when using a date block!

### 5/5 — This app is BUSSIN

*2023-04-18, version 4.2.1*

it’s better than every other lowkey garbage custom widget app and this app is so underrated Cuh

### 5/5 — One of the best apps for widgets, but missing some customizability

*2022-12-11*

I know this sounds a bit stupid, with this app being all about customizing widgets and everything, but it is missing some actions that could’ve been easily implemented, such as shaping things differently and having a different action on click, but don’t get me wrong, compared to the rest of them, this is the best apps you can use to customize an apple device

### 5/5 — Why 5 stars?? NO SUBSCRIPTION

*2022-08-07, version 4.1.0*

80% of the the reason I’m taking the time to write this review is because the dev doesn’t ask for frickin’ subscription to use essential parts of it, or any part of it. 

ALSO, it’s a great app that offers valuable usability and a clean smooth easy user Interface.

### 5/5 — 1st opening the app

*2022-06-11*

I just wanted to write a review about the message once you open the app, it’s so sweet and I just had to point it out <33 thank you sooo much for helping me customize and personalize my phone. I have a lot of fun with these kinds of little customization things and it’s nice to know that I’m hopefully supporting you as an independent developer/designer and your dog :)))

### 5/5 — Now I’m making my own widgets!

*2022-03-01*

Can be confusing at first, just have to be patient. I
had to do lots of trial and error and after a couple of hours I was confidently making my own widgets. I gave it 5 stars because it’s  NOT SUBSCRIPTION (single purchase) and only $4.99. I wish there’s a way to share my widgets though.

**Developer response:** Thank you! Actually if you are editing/building a widget on bottom right there’s a share button. You can share your widgets to your friends as a file or a simple link. Hope this helps!

### 4/5 — Good, but buggy

*2022-01-15, version 4.0.4*

This is a very good app, but for some reason I cannot change some values. I cannot change text size, and on clocks i cannot change size of timezone. If those were fixed, i would update this review to a 4/5 stars.

### 1/5 — Deceiving…

*2021-12-07, version 4.0.0*

It says no subscription, but there is a window that is open on the home page that promotes going pro. If you click on it, it leads you to the Upgrade page but no way to scroll down to any way to buy the Upgrade…

### 5/5 — La mejor

*2021-10-16, version 4.0.0*

De todos la aplicaciones esta es la más cómoda para realizar mis necesidades
