Locket is a widget that shows live photos from your best friends, right to your Home Screen. You and your best friends will see new pictures from each other every time you unlock your phone. It’s a little glimpse of what everyone’s up to throughout the day. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add the Locket widget to your Home Screen 2. When a friend sends you a photo, it instantly appears on your Locket widget! 3. To share a pic back, tap into the widget, take a pic with the camera, and then hit send! It appears right on your friends’ Home Screens FOR YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS • To keep things friendly, you can only have 20 friends on the app. • On Locket, there’s no worrying about follower count, just add your best friends and family and live in the moment. • With Locket, you’re able to be real and share photos to the people that matter. REACT TO FRIENDS' PHOTOS • Send a Locket reaction to your friends to let them know you saw their image. • They’ll get a notification and you’ll love watching the emojis rain down on your photo. • We don’t count or track the reactions, so you can be real and authentic without worrying about likes and filters like other platforms. BUILD A HISTORY OF YOUR LOCKETS • As you and friends snap Lockets, you’ll build up a history of all images sent. • Share them out as photos or use our video recap feature to stitch together the memories of you and your friends, capturing those “love it” moments. • Locket will also make you a recap video at the end of every month with all of the photos you've shared. ADD LOCKETS FOR YOUR BESTIES AND CRUSHES • Decorate your home screen with more photos and images dedicated to your crush or your bestie • Add the “Crush” or “Best Friend” picture widget, and see photos only from that person. Plus, you can send images just to that person too!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Widgetable at none against Locket Widget's shown. On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Locket Widget sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Widgetable sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Widgetable holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 591K and 389K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Locket Widget's written reviews are positive against 73% of Widgetable's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Locket Widget ships an update every 3 days, Widgetable every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
