ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lock Screen Widgets App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lock Screen Widgets App has 1.1K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Lock Screen Widgets App's written reviews are positive against 46% of Transparent Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lock Screen Widgets App ships an update every 3 weeks, Transparent Widget every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
