Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Home screen and the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes. From anywhere in your device, you'll have access to your own information and actions. Add various widgets for your different needs. You can, for instance, add a calendar that will display the current month and the busy days. You can add your favorite photos of your beloved family and friends. You can add your horoscope, a photo of the day (from the internet), some audio notes, some world clocks and more... The application contains some free widgets like the Note widget allowing you to quickly view and edit some text notes and reminders and the Decision widget allowing you to randomly choose one item among several choices. Each other widget type can be tried and can be unlocked separately. You can also unlock all the current and future widget types at once, if you are a widget addict ! Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets. The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device. Dark mode of iOS13 is supported. In Today view: 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: WidgetDaily at 4.6 against My Widgets's 3.9. WidgetDaily also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks) and review sentiment (80% vs 54%). My Widgets's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (414 vs 11). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Widgets sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and WidgetDaily sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WidgetDaily holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Widgets has 414 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of My Widgets's written reviews are positive against 80% of WidgetDaily's.
My Widgets ships an update every 5 weeks, WidgetDaily every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
