# OLEDX vs Widgets for Dynamic Island

The clearest difference is ads: OLEDX at none against Widgets for Dynamic Island's shown. OLEDX also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 290) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.1). Widgets for Dynamic Island's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OLEDX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Widgets for Dynamic Island sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OLEDX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OLEDX has 5.2K ratings behind it against 290, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of OLEDX's written reviews are positive against 54% of Widgets for Dynamic Island's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

OLEDX ships an update every 10 months, Widgets for Dynamic Island every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
