Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Lock Screen Widgets App at 4.4 against Halloween Live Wallpaper's 1.7. Lock Screen Widgets App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1K vs 7). Halloween Live Wallpaper's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock Screen Widgets App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Halloween Live Wallpaper's written reviews are positive against 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Halloween Live Wallpaper ships an update every 5 days, Lock Screen Widgets App every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
