Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Widgy Widgets at none against ・ (Yidget)'s shown. Widgy Widgets also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 1.5K) and chart position (#41 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Widgy Widgets sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and ・ (Yidget) sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Widgy Widgets holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widgy Widgets has 26K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Widgy Widgets's written reviews are positive against 65% of ・ (Yidget)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Widgy Widgets ships an update every 2 weeks, ・ (Yidget) every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.

- Does not work at all
- App crashes everytime image saving!!!!!!
- Can't find the blank app or transparent app, so I tried this one. Sad, wasted my time though. Such a hassle to use and adjust.
- the widget color and background wallpaper. But after understanding how to it works i got it fixed. We simply have to take a screenshot of the wallpaper after its been set on the phone background and then use that screenshot to make the widgets
- the widget is always a bit brighter than anything behind it, so you can see the border all around it.
