Widgif brings your home screen to life with a collection of widgets, custom photo themes and seasonal favorites. OPTIMIZED FOR iOS 15 The app has been optimized to improve widget performance on new and old iPhones. APPLE HEALTH Apple Watch users can now monitor their health with the new heart rate Widgif (*readings can be delayed). Access to your health data is optional and private. You can manage your access to this data through Settings -> Health -> Data -> Widgif. UNDER THE HOOD Yes, the animations are slow. But, Widgif is the only app with non-static widgets. Widgifs are only capable of 1 FPS animations due to WidgetKit's current limitations. All animated Widgifs are handmade in order to work within the app. It's the 'secret sauce' that brings them to life. *Gifs are not supported from your camera roll, yet. I want to help improve your home screen widget experience. My door is always open and feedback is welcome! More Widgif themes and gif customizations are on the way!

Verdict
