### 1/5 — Not intuitive and not annotated with help

*2025-12-08*

Can’t select widget size.Widget disappeared from Home Screen no where to be found.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-01-09, version 2024.0*

Perfect app for quick links on my phones Home Screen! Will be recommending it to friends and family. Very happy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Finally

*2023-08-01*

I just needed a simple link imbedded in a widget for my ipad, something easy to do on my android and PC.  Not so on Apple.  After trying out all sorts of tricks with safari, YouTube vids, and multiple apps, which were for an old iOS that no longer had the same menu, or create cute bunny widgets for existing default apps., finally a simple way to imbed a hyperlink into an image of your choice and place it onto an iPad screen. Gad! Reminder: stick with PC and Android

### 3/5 — Please hide widgetLink branding under widget

*2023-06-17*

The concept is great but with many small widgets and seeing the branding it’s makes it unclean and desirable. I know Apple adds the name but there are more and more apps finding an acceptable way to hide it. Hopefully apple will allow to hide more naturally like they do with iPadOS.

### 2/5 — How do I....?

*2022-12-01*

Hello! I like the way this app lets me pull up a list of links, but when I click on one, it just goes to the settings page for that link. What am I doing wrong? Are there directions anywhere? Thanks!

### 1/5 — No good

*2022-04-11*

Didn’t work for me.

### 1/5 — How to remove from phone?

*2021-11-21*

It’s not anywhere it can be removed

**Developer response:** Hello, to remove the widget from your Home Screen, you can tap and hold on the widget until a menu appears and you should see an option to remove it.

### 4/5 — Love the app.

*2021-11-12*

I really like this app but is there a way you can add an edit button to url link. Sometimes sites change their url and instead of having to create a new link it’d be great if we could just edit it instead. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Hi, 

This was due to a bug in the app with iOS 15. Please update the app to the latest version and you should be able to see the Edit button for each link. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Enttäuschend

*2021-08-11, version 2020.1*

Es erscheint nicht auf den Startbildschirm

### 4/5 — Love this app!

*2021-06-29*

This app is awesome! My only complaint is that you can’t have set which links appear on each widget, so each widget of the same size is the exact same:/
