A very easy to use widget creator. Put a photo and your text (or current date) on a widget. Then put the widget on your home screen. Your friends can put widgets on their home screens and you can send pictures (e.g. selfies) to their screens. Widget examples: • Monthly calendar on your holiday photo. • Yellow sticky note with a shopping list. • A photo with your comment. • Put a photo on your friend's screen. The data is kept in your iCloud and is shared to your friend's iCloud, so we have no access to your pictures.

Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase and will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period; your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current period. Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase.
