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 Horoscope widget allows to view a daily horoscope. Quickly know how the current day will look like, and how you should handle some situations. The widget connects to some english dedicated web sites, providing daily RSS feed about the 12 zodiac signs. Some web sites are already saved and organized in the application, but you can also add your favorite web site. The text can be displayed in different ways (like the size, the font, the color, the alignment). A sign icon can be displayed. Touching the horoscope will allow you to view the source web page, which usually contains some additional information. 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 rating: Favorite Contacts Widget Pro at 5.0 against Horoscope Widget's 3.5. Horoscope Widget's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 5 months vs every 21 months). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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
Horoscope Widget costs $0.99 and Favorite Contacts Widget Pro $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Favorite Contacts Widget Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Horoscope Widget has 13 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Horoscope Widget's written reviews are positive against 0% of Favorite Contacts Widget Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Horoscope Widget ships an update every 5 months, Favorite Contacts Widget Pro every 21 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
