A simple Clock/Information Interface made to take advantage of the iPhone OLED displays. Keep track of time, add a personal note, check the weather, add icons or images to the Information Interface. The interface takes minor jumps each minute (3 pixels), this is built as a safety measure for OLED panels. OLEDX is highly energy efficient. By using the most efficient methods to accomplish its main purpose OLEDX achieves very low power consumption. The iPhone OLED screens make it possible to have zero light emitting from pixels that are not being used, the entire screen will look completely dark while the information interface pixels will emit light. Features: -Display Time and Date -Current Weather Face -Display Battery Information -Display Icon or Personal Note -Display Icon -Dual Time Zone Interface -Analog Or Digital Clock -Proximity Sensor Monitoring -Energy Efficient -Multiple Watch Faces -Face color customization -Star Roofs -Adjust brightness of the interface by panning up and down across it. And more. Star roofs once set will go into a slide show mode and will loop through the set. This is done in order to prevent a single roof from being displayed for extended periods of time. The Settings button shows on and off when you first enter the app, but you can tap on that position of the screen anytime to access the settings menu. Screen brightness can be adjusted by panning up and down with your finger across the interface.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: OLEDX at none against Smart Widget's shown. OLEDX also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.2K vs 881). Smart Widget's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (66% vs 49%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLEDX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OLEDX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLEDX has 5.2K ratings behind it against 881, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of OLEDX's written reviews are positive against 66% of Smart Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OLEDX ships an update every 10 months, Smart Widget every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
