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. Each Decision widget allows to view 1 to 6 different decision wheels on the same row. Each decision wheel can help you to take a decision and can randomly choose one item among several choices. A nice short animation will add some suspense to the random choice. Here are some usage ideas : * A simple YES/NO decision. * Selection of a person in a team. * Get a random action that a friend will have to do. * Get a random color. * Handling a particular situation (you can use Emoji smileys as the different choices) * Get a random dice value. Each choice can have its own text and colors. Up to 30 different choices can be defined, and every choice can be duplicated up to 10 times in the same decision wheel. A title can be associated. Various parameters can be changed (like the font name and size, the tick sound). 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).
