### 1/5 — Lack of stated functionality

*2025-11-08*

Loses connection and never updates

### 4/5 — This look nice, because

*2025-02-17, version 6.8*

I see the structure simple, easy to use and have many good attributes. Unfortunately, I could not fetch images via Google Sheet. So I hope that this application will develop and repair soon as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2024-10-24*

An awesome tool to see Excel data as a widget on my iPhone.  You can set it to update as frequently as every 15 minutes.  I love it.
NOTE: I had to uninstall the MS Authenticator App to set everything up, but I was able to reinstall afterwards without too much hassle.  IT Support helped me to troubleshoot the problem.

### 1/5 — It won’t connect to google sheets

*2024-04-10*

I’ve tried logging out and back in and it still doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Please contact support via email within app. (Tap menu button, select Help, and then select Email Us)

### 3/5 — Roadblock from the start

*2024-03-06*

Downloaded this to do an excel sheet 

App said login with Microsoft account that must end in outlook.com, but my Microsoft was setup with an existing email that doesn’t end in that.

Also, not super comfortable having this app link to Microsoft Authenticator. Wouldn’t risk it. Wish I could’ve tried it.

**Developer response:** You can create new email for Microsoft account. No Microsoft authenticator is needed.

### 5/5 — Great widget

*2023-10-06, version 3.0*

I’ve got proper support from  the Team 

Thank you !

### 5/5 — That’s just what I needed!

*2023-07-30, version 3.0*

I was shocked that there are no apps like this, I think there are lots of people who will find it very useful. 
I had to change my google sheet a bit to use it as a widget, but beside that it is just what I was looked for. So, thanks for this app!

### 5/5 — App is Great, Support is Even Better

*2023-07-29*

Had an issue with the app, emailed the support team, got multiple answers within an hour. Amazing support. Now the app works perfectly and I’m very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Works as intended

*2023-04-26*

The app works as intended but I really had to play with it to get it to work. The app also has a “how to get started” page so I would highly suggest reading that first

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments.

### 5/5 — THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

*2023-02-09, version 1.3*
