It wasn’t always like this so I’m not sure what happened. Lame. ### 1/5 — Liquid Glass *2026-07-09, version 1.1.9* Liquid Glass? Why can’t we do transparent widgets? ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-28, version 1.1.9* Bad ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-06-21, version 1.1.9* So I get the app and I can’t get half of the things on the app without paying. ### 1/5 — Only four widgets to use. *2026-05-31, version 1.1.9* You can only use four widgets. Theres 15 widgets. 13 app icons. Not able to use any of them. Theres way more better Widget apps than this and i have no idea why a lot of people like this app because its “simple” and “easy to use” when you cant use anything🫩 ### 1/5 — I was so Dumb enough to fall for it *2026-05-18, version 1.1.9* I try to customize my widget and then put it on the main screen nothing happens if you get this app and you are dumb like stupid dumb I’m so dumb enough to fall for this and I’m super smart so unless you want to be a scam do not get the app ### 1/5 — Needed help *2026-04-27, version 1.1.9* Very hard to use ### 1/5 — Cool but…. *2026-04-04, version 1.1.9* I like how you can decorate a widget,but you have to pay to even use the widget you created. ### 1/5 — No *2026-04-01, version 1.1.9* Make all widget free and apps ### 1/5 — Rename Widgets *2025-10-13, version 1.1.9* Allow us to rename the different Widget items on the My Widgets page ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — pretty good but wanna ask you something *2026-07-17, version 1.1.9* everything is amazing, but I want you to add a search up so you can search any color or any team you want it’s an amazing app you need to have this ### 5/5 — Download it *2026-02-02, version 1.1.9* So good ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-11-02* I just recently downloaded this app, and it has really enhanced my phone screen! My favorite feature is the daily quote widget. Every day it resets and shows a different inspirational quote. There’s some really good countdown widgets to. The only thing is half the widgets are locked to people who pay pro. There’s still some good widgets though for free. I don’t recommend getting pro. It’s still really good without paying. Highly recommended! 😊 ### 5/5 — Cool *2025-10-24, version 1.1.9* ❤️ ### 5/5 — Non *2024-10-05, version 1.1.9* Buongiorno ### 5/5 — Eeeeheehrh *2024-02-27, version 1.1.9* Rt tt did ap ### 5/5 — This app is hit *2023-10-20, version 1.1.9* You can make your own Home Screen with the pictures you have taken and you can design your own or leave it you can count down to cool dates like your birthday and that’s why I love it ### 5/5 — Photos not showing? *2023-10-17, version 1.1.9* I love this app! I’ve used it for over a year, for for making countdowns, and personalizing my screens. But today for the first time all of my widgets using photo albums are blank and black, what happened? ### 5/5 — Great *2023-09-11, version 1.1.8* Best app ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — How good and bad this app is *2023-08-30* Y’all give more stuff to the VIPs, but you still give the non-VIP stuff which I think is good I am not a VIP because we don’t really pay stuff like that can y’all give more stuff to the non-VIP please because you give more to the VIPs and I don’t think that’s fair and make it easier to get into the game please because at first it won’t let me get in the game and I didn’t even know how to get in the game so while you’re in the game playing then can you ask them VIP and can you make it like maybe $.85 a year oh, and I also like how there is no ad that is really really good but I don’t really like how you gave all the cosmos for the VIPs all I’m saying is please please please please just get some more stuff to the non-VIPs and please don’t laugh at me for not being a VIP thank you and have a blessed day --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
