Kinda crazy we need to use an app to get this functionality though. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-11-21, version 1.2.1* It says to add a Spacer widget but there is no Spacer widget available to add to my screen. ### 5/5 — best *2024-09-19* the app is just so minimalistic that it just feels nice ### 5/5 — Kinda works *2024-08-22* TIP: YOU NEED TO RESTART YOUR PHONE TO USE THIS APP. It works perfectly, app couldn’t be better, the thing is, Apple makes it nearly impossible to use this thing properly. I use it but it doesn’t really work THAT well. If you want an app like this though, get this one. Thanks for the no data collected, it means a lot! **Developer response:** Thanks! 🙏 ### 1/5 — It doesn’t even show up in the widgets list! *2024-08-19* Not compatible at all, it doesn’t even show up in the apps widget list ### 5/5 — Can you help clueless? *2024-02-15* This app sounds great, but I don’t know how to get it in the list of widgets to add to my lock screen. When I open it, I don’t know how to use the screen that I see. When I’m on the lock screen, with the app open, I don’t see it listed anywhere. I must be missing something but I don’t know what that is. Thank you for anyone that can help ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 17 *2024-02-02* Doesn’t show up in widget list, even after restart ### 1/5 — Can’t use it *2024-01-29* I would be able to rate it if I could actually use it.
