ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock + Home Widgets widgetopia holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock + Home Widgets widgetopia has 8.6K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Widget Station's written reviews are positive against 61% of Lock + Home Widgets widgetopia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
