Choose from several different views offering a variety of text sizes and varying numbers of reminders displayed at once. For a simpler view, choose one of the circular complications to show either a count of Today's reminders or a count of overdue reminders. Whichever view you choose, simply tapping the complication brings you to a beautiful scrollable list of your current reminders. This list is colored to match the list the reminder originated from and includes the due date and time along with the title and overdue text. Here are some more specifics of Widgetminder complications: - Display Overdue reminders along with all reminders due today in one view - Up to 12 total on the rectangular complication - Multiple rectangle complication configurations are available including 1 and 2 column views each with 3, 4, 5, or 6 rows allowing you to find the right balance between readability and information density - Overdue reminders are visually indicated with red text when using the “multicolor” color option and have “!” as a list bullet in all cases - Using a single color makes the reminders on the rectangle face and the labels on the circular complication take on the accent color while leaving the overdue reminders in white so they stand out - Circle complications are available and show either count of overdue or count of today’s upcoming reminders - Reminder text seamlessly changes color whether you are using a background color or opting for a darker look with the standard black background

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Widgetminder at none against LineScale's 10. Widgetminder also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). LineScale's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 20 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
