### 3/5 — Falta de actualización

*2026-05-05, version 3.3.4*

Estoy teniendo muchas fachas técnicas últimamente con los widgets al tratar de sincronizar. Por mas que intento, me sigue apareciendo las mismas. 
Podrán actualizar la app lo más pronto posible por favor!🫩

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work with Spotify

*2026-04-25, version 3.3.4*

I synced my Apple Music subscription with this app for about a year and a half and independently decided to switch to Spotify. I assumed that it would be easy to connect to Spotify as it was to connect to Apple Music but it keeps bugging every time I try to connect. I tried disconnecting my Apple Music completely, deleting the app and redownloading, and went through all the settings options and it would not work. 

I love it when it worked with Apple Music. I even bought the $5 upgrade (1 time fee which was great!) A shame that it won’t connect to my premium Spotify account.

### 2/5 — Good Idea, Lots of Issues

*2026-04-14, version 3.3.4*

The widget often shows a song that was playing earlier instead of what is currently playing. Taping to refresh frequently show locked and says that it hasn’t been purchased. Clicking on it will play another song, seemingly at random despite being set to Open WidgetPod. I want to love it, but it just doesn’t work well.

### 1/5 — Spotify connection

*2026-03-23, version 3.3.4*

Isn’t connecting to my Spotify after multiple refreshes.

### 3/5 — Spotify

*2026-03-02, version 3.3.4*

### 1/5 — Keeps breaking with Spotify

*2026-02-20, version 3.3.4*

### 1/5 — 開けない

*2026-02-16, version 3.3.4*

デベロッパが変わってから、開こうとすると強制終了してしまい、全く使えていません。よってサポートにもアクセスできません。課金済みなので早く対応してください。

### 4/5 — トラックナンバー

*2026-02-14, version 3.3.4*

ウィジェットにトラックナンバーが表示できるようになれば満点です。その他は満足しています。

### 4/5 — Цвет текста не соответствует режиму

*2026-02-13, version 3.3.4*

Почему в тёмном режиме цвет текста и значки белые, а в светлом режиме наоборот чёрные? Исправьте пожалуйста🙏🏼

### 1/5 — Wucherpreis!

*2026-02-08, version 3.3.4*

9,90€ pro Woche? Sie haben doch wohl den Verstand verloren.

### 1/5 — crashes

*2026-02-08, version 3.3.4*

### 1/5 — Everything is paid

*2026-02-08*

Worst waste of space everything is paid.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review. We have a free and a paid version of the App. Our Premium (paid) version opens up more opportunities. You can try it out during the free trial. You may also wish to choose the free version with fewer features available. But we are sure you will enjoy the Premium version, it is definitely worth the money!

### 1/5 — 8.99/weekly is criminal

*2025-12-28, version 3.3.4*

Free to get it but if you want access you gotta pay to play

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2025-12-15, version 3.3.3*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Has many issues

*2026-07-21, version 3.3.8*

Sometimes the widget shows like little purple dots on it. It also always disconnects or is not aligned with what music is playing. Or it will say I need to connect it to my streaming service when it already is and shows it as locked. Overall would not recommend paying for it.
