Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, with a simple top to bottom swipe, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Each Photo widget allows to view one or more photos from the photo library of your device. This is the quickest access to the favorite photos of your beloved family and friends. Add from 1 to 6 photos in each widget, in order to maximize the available space. Those photos can be viewed in fullscreen by touching them. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view). To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another. Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Photo Widget at free against Comic Faces Camera's paid. Photo Widget also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (301 vs 3). Comic Faces Camera's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 36%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Photo Widget costs $0.99 and Comic Faces Camera $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Photo Widget holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Widget has 301 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Photo Widget's written reviews are positive against 50% of Comic Faces Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Photo Widget ships an update every 2 months, Comic Faces Camera every 29 months. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
