Await lets you create widgets that are perfect for you. Reading, studying, music, a clock, an instrument, a puzzle, or some small tool that's only useful to you — all of it can become a widget with Await. Some needs and habits are too personal to find a ready-made product that fits just right. So make one the way you want it. A friend of mine keeps a book open on the desk. It just sits there, and he reads a little whenever he has a spare moment. A widget is the same. It stays on your Home Screen, always there when you need it. So many things would only take a few seconds, but a few extra steps get in the way, and they never even get started. The things you've wanted to do for years — why haven't you started? Maybe the problem was never you. Maybe you just never had a widget that fit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Await at 5.0 against Widget Maker's 4.5. Await also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months). Widget Maker's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (64 vs 4). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Await sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Widget Maker asks for nothing beyond the download.
Await holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Widget Maker has 64 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Widget Maker's written reviews are positive against 93% of Await's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Widget Maker ships an update every 7 months, Await every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
