### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2026-07-20*

Funktioniert wie es soll 👍

### 3/5 — Useful but works

*2026-05-14*

Paid user: Just a few annoying things 
1) It constant asks me to rate it so only 3 stars
2) Ad bubble in the bottom corner for other apps
3) ugly background wallpaper
I’m sorry

**Developer response:** Hello, Please contact support via the app menu about your scenario. Typically, people set up the widget and then stop opening the app, using widgets instead.

To avoid asking about ratings, you can select "I want to rate" and then leave it alone, and app won't ask again. You can change the wallpapers in app menu.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar in Free Version

*2026-04-15*

Die App nur sinnvoll nutzbar, wenn man auch bereit ist dafür zu bezahlen. Das kostenfreie Angebot ist nur zum Anlocken gedacht.

**Developer response:** Alle Funktionen stehen im Free-Modus zur Verfügung. Die kostenpflichtige Version ist für diejenigen erforderlich, die nicht bereit sind zu warten und Zeit gewinnen möchten – die unschätzbarste Ressource im Leben.

### 4/5 — Size Options

*2026-03-20*

This is a GREAT find, but the widget sizes are too limiting for iPads. Wish a larger square option existed!

**Developer response:** Hello, the app already supports all widget sizes available on iPad and iPhone. The size list is limited by iOS.

### 1/5 — Only useful for pay

*2026-03-07*

This is just the sad state of the world but any minorly useful feature is paywalled, even opening the webpage rather than the app itself when you tap the widget. Webpage updates at more than daily frequency are paywalled.

**Developer response:** All the most important functions are available in free mode. The paid version is needed for those who are not ready to wait and want to buy time - the most invaluable resource in life.

### 5/5 — Love the app

### 5/5 — INFO

*2026-01-03, version 7.6*

### 5/5 — Does auto updating website every minute work ?

*2025-12-22*

If not than how many minimum minutes for auto updates website

**Developer response:** Hello, iOS reliably updates every 15 minutes. You can set the auto-update interval to 1 minute, but then the device needs to be plugged in and charging. iOS automatically decides when to update the widget based on the device's battery status and other factors. In other words, apps only ask for updates, but iOS makes all the decisions.
