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).

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: X Progress at Free against Decision Widget's $0.99. X Progress also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). Decision Widget's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

X Progress is free to download; Decision Widget costs $0.99 up front. X Progress sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Decision Widget asks for nothing beyond the download.
X Progress holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: X Progress has 87 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Decision Widget's written reviews are positive against 59% of X Progress's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Decision Widget ships an update every 8 months, X Progress every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
