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 call

The clearest difference is rating: Await at 5.0 against Koco Widgets's 4.6. Await also leads on review sentiment (93% vs 70%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly). Koco Widgets's advantage is ratings volume (398 vs 5) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
