ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WidgetStore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Custom HomeScreen has 2.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of WidgetStore's written reviews are positive against 26% of Widget Custom HomeScreen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
