### 5/5 — 気象病対策にぴったり！

*2026-09-21, version 7.6*

90日間の天気予報が掲載されているサイトを中ウィジェット+大ウィジェットの2個づかいで表示しています。

私は毎年、雨・台風・季節の変わり目に頭痛やめまいの症状に悩まされておりまして……
「あらかじめ天気がわかっていれば薬や耳マッサージで対策ができるかも！？」と考え導入しました。

低気圧アプリと併用して予防頑張ります！

### 5/5 — Useful

*2026-09-19*

Great idea, how do you change the wallpaper?

**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.

### 4/5 — 略有问题

*2026-09-17*

我买了pro，但是右下角的广告去不掉很难受，另外作者能不能更新一下超大组件

### 4/5 — La recomiendo

*2026-09-08, version 7.6*

Uso esta app desde hace bastante tiempo para crear un widget que muestra los juegos gratis que regalan en Epic Store.
Siempre tengo el problema de que tras un tiempo el widget se acaba desconfigurando y ya no muestra el área de la web que yo necesito.
Cuando esto ocurre lo corrijo configurándolo de nuevo pero esto es un fastidio.
Para solucionar este problema he usado el ancla y no he tenido exito. La web en la que lo uso siempre mantiene los elementos en el mismo lugar.
Como me he cansado de este problema he dejado de usar esta app pero sigo pensando que es muy buena.

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2026-07-20*

Funktioniert wie es soll 👍

### 3/5 — Useful but works

*2026-05-14, version 7.6*

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

### 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

*2026-02-12, version 7.6*

It’s exactly what I was looking for years.
