Wish a larger square option existed! ### 3/5 — Good app *2025-12-16, version 7.6* Does a great job but somehow taking up 1.08gb, presumably cached files? Only loading a single page with no images though ### 4/5 — It’s fine *2024-12-30, version 7.1* Only complaint is that it keeps asking me to leave a review ### 2/5 — Everything useful is behind a paywall. *2024-12-23, version 7.1* Pretty useless for me. Essential features instead of just “nice to haves” are behind the paywall. Can’t try it out enough to know if it’s worth it. ### 3/5 — Love this app but iOS 18 *2024-12-06* Ever since iOS 18 the app shows a white screen on page load and fails to properly load and provide a new screencap of the website. This app has worked amazing for me and would love for it to do so again, I’ll update my review once everything’s fixed! **Developer response:** Hello, I have not had any bug reports on iOS 18 with the app. Please write to support from the app menu to let the developers know about your problems. If you have used the app and something went wrong, it is better to report the problem to the developer in the support. ### 2/5 — Gut aber Source nicht auswählbar *2024-11-20* Leider lässt sich bei mir die Source nicht auswählen, daher kann immer nur eine Seite dargestellt werden. **Developer response:** Hallo, öffnen Sie die Widget-Einstellungen und wählen Sie für jedes Widget Ihre Seite aus. Sehen Sie sich die Video-Hilfeanweisungen im Anwendungsmenü an. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-03-06* The only widget that displays web page inside a widget. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-02-26, version 6.5* Quick and easy settings with all the features you could ask for. Of course the good stuff is behind the premium wall, but is still very usable. ### 5/5 — You need this app. *2024-01-27, version 6.4* Five stars isn’t enough to convey the usefulness, performance, and stability of this application. You can snapshot anything visually available on the web and make it a widget on your phone. Stock market graphs, cryptocurrency graphs, photos—anything! I’ve used the app for over 3 years, and I plan to continue using it as long as it’s available. ### 4/5 — Great app but pls get rid of captions *2024-01-03, version 6.4* There is a caption that says widget web under every widget.. and updates are a bit unstable sometimes! Otherwise would be perfect app!! ### 3/5 — Great app but the free version is severely lacking… *2023-12-24, version 6.4* I would probably buy the premium version of this app if I could try all the premium features for just one webpage. But even with only one webpage, the tap the widget to refresh feature doesn’t work. So without any proof of how well this works, I’m not going to pay for the premium version. It would be better if your first webpage had all premium features, even for a trial period, and then all subsequent pages added, or after a week, you have to pay for the full feature set. Without demonstrating how well the app COULD work IF i paid for it, there’s no way you’re getting my money. Besides that, app seems to work as advertised. ### 5/5 — Pls remove “web widget” caption *2023-12-16* Best app on the App Store I’ve used. If possible pls remove web widget caption that appears under each big widget on the home screen. ### 5/5 — This is what good app design looks like *2023-11-15, version 6.3* This allowed me to code iOS widgets through only HTML on a web server. The customization options are extensive and the interface is buttery smooth. This is a wonderfully designed app and every feature I’ve needed is already implemented. One of the most impressive apps I’ve installed in a long while, as a fellow developer. Thank you! ### 3/5 — Gute App! *2023-11-03* Genau das was ich gesucht habe jedoch habe ich grade jetzt nach den Update auf iOS 17 oft das problem das die Seite im Widget verrutscht oft kann ich dies durchs aktuallisieren des Widgets wieder grade richten leider kommt es auch vor das ich die Seite kommplet neu ausrichten muss nur damit es 1-2 Tage später leider wieder verrutscht. **Developer response:** Hallo, versuchen Sie es mit einem Anker auf der Seite, wenn das Widget manchmal den falschen Teil des Fensters anzeigt. Wenn es nicht funktioniert, schreiben Sie über das Anwendungsmenü an den Support. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Only useful for pay *2026-03-07, version 7.6* 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. ### 1/5 — Cool, dark pattern on your rating nag screen *2025-05-21, version 7.2* I don’t ever wanna be reminded about this garbage ### 1/5 — Waste my money *2025-05-16* I got the pro and the widget doesn't refresh the content of the website. I click the refresh button and nothing. Reply to developer response: The cache was already disabled and the web page is a simple html page without fancy cache stuff. So, the problem is with your widget! It doesn't work! **Developer response:** Hello, please write to support from the application menu to solve your problem. There are no other reports about this problem, so we need to investigate. ### 1/5 — annoying rate mes *2025-05-03, version 7.1* keeps asking to rate ### 1/5 — Keep losing its position in the web page *2022-03-21, version 2.0* Not reliable at all. The scheduled refresh don’t work and it keeps losing the position in the webpage. The widget only works the first time you set it. Waste of money ( I bought the paid version, hoping it would solve some of the problems). ### 1/5 — Even pro version can't display all of crop area *2022-03-13, version 2.0* They made a feeble attempt top to provide instructions,but the instructions reference nonexistent choices which,even if interpreted,lesson lead in circles. Glad I didn't buy. ### 1/5 — Functionally useless without micro transactions *2021-10-30, version 1.9* I should be able to refresh manually for free. Useless. Cool way to show a static webpage, I guess? ### 1/5 — Doesn't works,displays stale data *2021-04-24* Upon hitting Refresh button, data gets updated after 10-12secs. Wasted my money on this crap. **Developer response:** Hello, the speed of updating the widget is limited by the speed of the website you are using in the widget. If you use a fast Internet connection and fast sites, it is typically 5 seconds. You can write to support and we will advise you on how to speed up the update. ### 1/5 — Inkonsistente Darstellung *2021-01-27* Beim Refresh verschiebt sich die Seite und man sieht einen völlig anderen Ausschnitt als man konfiguriert hatte. Sehr schade. Ansonsten wäre es gut, aber so erklärt sich mir der Sinn nicht... **Developer response:** Es hängt alles von der jeweiligen Website ab. Wie ich in der App warne, gibt es nichts zu tun, wenn eine Website eine Reihe von Anzeigen enthält oder die Formatierung ändert. Schreiben Sie an den Support, vielleicht gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dies zu beheben. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2026-07-20* Funktioniert wie es soll 👍 ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-02-12, version 7.6* It’s exactly what I was looking for years. ### 5/5 — Top *2026-01-19* Top! ### 5/5 — Excellent Tool *2026-01-10* Displaying status webpages of uptime kuma or other status pages for a quick glance if everything is ok is an absolute time saver for me. I ❤️ Widget Web 🤩 ### 5/5 — INFO *2026-01-03, version 7.6* Building multiscreen building into my cell phone ! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Ótimo aplicativo! *2025-09-19* Tive um problema pois tinha o aplicativo instalado a muito tempo e geral algum tipo de cache. Mas após reinstalar resolveu o problema. **Developer response:** Olá, reinstalar o aplicativo ajudou. ### 5/5 — 完了啊，要更新系统 *2025-09-13* 低系统用不上了😭 ### 5/5 — Titel *2025-05-31* Rezension ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-01-07, version 7.1* Great app, does exactly as it claims, fair price, easy to configure. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
