Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ・ (Yidget) at Free against Paint's $0.49. ・ (Yidget) also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 6). Paint's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On rating there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

・ (Yidget) holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ・ (Yidget) has 1.5K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of ・ (Yidget)'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Paint's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

・ (Yidget) ships an update every 3 weeks, Paint every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.

  • Does not work at all

  • 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.
