ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lockscreen & Homescreen Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lockscreen & Homescreen Widget has 323 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Lockscreen & Homescreen Widget's written reviews are positive against 63% of Widget Wizard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lockscreen & Homescreen Widget ships an update every 6 weeks, Widget Wizard every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
