### 5/5 — Very Nice!

*2024-11-23, version 2.7*

Love how customizable this is.
I'll get the full version soon!

### 1/5 — Von wegen kostenlos…

*2024-08-08*

… Das war wohl einmal? 
Jetzt ist es so, dass du sofort nach dem Downloads genötigt wirst, ein kostenpflichtiges Abo abzuschließen - wir mittlerweile fast überall hier!
Netterweise darfst du sieben Tage testen - habe ich nicht getan, weil ich diese Geschäftspraktiken (app als kostenlos im Store präsentieren, keinerlei Hinweis auf die Kosten, die auf dich zu rollen) nicht unterstützen kann. Es gibt ja noch das große Netz da draußen…

### 2/5 — Shuffle don’t work

*2024-06-25, version 2.7*

It been a good while now since shuffle has work and that’s really my only issue other than that i love this app and if they could fix this it would make it beautiful

### 5/5 — Sehr praktisch

*2024-05-19*

Es wäre aber genial wenn man die Widget über die cloud syncen könnte..

### 1/5 — Not even close to a playlist

*2023-12-09, version 2.6*

If this app were free I could excuse the lack of instruction, but apparently the money I paid is being used to scrub reviews. Common problem with apple. 

The only advantage is it plays playlists. Apple music hasn’t quite figured that out yet.

### 5/5 — WONT SHUFFLE!! (FIXED)

*2023-09-22, version 2.5.1*

Making me sick of the first songs on my playlists. Hope this is fixed. *EDIT- Developer has fixed the issue It now Shuffles!!

Great app
Thanks!

### 3/5 — WONT SHUFFLE!!

*2023-09-19*

Making me sick of the first songs on my playlists. Hope this is fixed.

### 5/5 — Has room for Improvement

*2022-06-07, version 2.2.1*

This is a great app, I haven’t yet seen one just like it. I love how I can chose my widget to present a list of my music or simply just the album cover which I can then edit to make them rounded or edged. However, when it comes to choosing a background color for my widget— I feel a bit limited. 

I like how you can create your own color using a color spectrum or slider but what I really want is an option to add a photo to the background in order to make the widget more unique and personalized.

Additionally, I have realized that the current selling point of most widget apps is the ability to have users create a widget but… with the perk of having a “transparent background” option. A transparent background option will allow your users to have a widget that will fit their phone’s wallpaper and theme without having to worry or choose a color on the WidgeTunes app. Other apps do this by having their users take a screenshot of a blank page on their homescreen, uploading it onto the app, then the app (according to where the user wants to place the widget which is either on the top, middle, or bottom of their screen) creates a widget using the screenshot they uploaded to create a “transparent background.”

I really hope this gets added soon as I believe it will really get a lot more people to install this app as it deserves the attention! Customization is key and it really makes a difference.

### 5/5 — Finally thank god

*2022-05-30, version 2.2.1*

Hooray. It took me a long time to find a widget that does a better job of putting my albums and music onto the regular iPhone pages. 
All I wanted was the simplest thing: take my most frequently played albums, and put them within super easy reach. This does a decent job of that. The only thing that has actually worked. Thanks much to the developer.

### 5/5 — Playlisten oder Alben direkt abspielen

*2022-05-26*

Super. Genau was ich gesucht habe. Mit 1 Klick kann man Alben oder Playlisten direkt starten. Kein Abo. Kostenlos mit 1 Liste zum Ausprobieren. Nach Kauf mit unbegrenzter Anzahl und weiteren Konfigurationen möglich. Klare Kaufempfehlung!
