Despite multiple attempts to address this with developer, no support or updates to remedy the fact it no longer works. ### 3/5 — Bestimmt gut *2025-02-27, version 1.4* Wenn man nach der Funktion gesucht hat ein widget auf den home Bildschirm zu benommen. Ich wollte es gerne auf den Sperrbildschirm. Da das nicht ging hab ich die app wieder runter geworfen ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-07-07, version 1.4* Very good app but I can’t put a widget on the lock screen which is very frustrating. ### 5/5 — Einfach und gut! *2024-06-09, version 1.4* Mir gefällt der einfache Aufbau, der unkompliziert genau das erzeugt, was die App verspricht, nämlich eine Widget Darstellung zum Beispiel für Überschriften oder für Design Seiten oder Ähnliches. Dabei wird wert auf Einfachheit gelegt und die Musterwidgets sind wirklich gut zu gebrauchen. ### 5/5 — Cuz *2022-05-16, version 1.4* VL wejj ### 5/5 — Kk qpzLaAmma lmolalAlamlm mm. MmmmM mmmm.
