I Love It! But.... I downloaded the “Widgetsmith” application a while back, and I loved the application so much, but then I added more widgets and throughout my widget making, I started to see that as I put my widgets on my Home Screen, it was always named “Widgetsmith”, which really frustrates me. My concern with this is that almost everyone I know that has an iPhone, uses this application, and they get frustrated by this too. I would recommend putting an option, when we save the widget, called “This Name Will Appear On HomeScreen” or “Type Home Screen Name For Widget Here”, or something like that. Other than that, I’m very happy with the application that the developers created! I hope you improve my concerns, and that you have a great day/night. This came from Teyah Smith. :)

Good but bad. I was begging my mom to get it after I saw how you could customize your Home Screen even better. Me being a 53 year old I know what’s best for me so I got permission from my mom by yelling but the stairs. So I was having fun changing my Home Screen but then I seemed to have accident run over my ex, but that didn’t seem right Bc I have never been in a relationship and I’m still a virgin. Well after I realized I killed multiple people from a bus that somehow came into my possession I tried driving home but I couldn’t because I have never left my house Bc I can’t leave my fortnite game. As I started driving I realized that my phone wasent even here. What have I been doing all this time then. It was right there when I realized I love men. So after reading this just remember, if roses are red then the carpet is Jupiter and your garage door needs a new shovel. I hope this helped you with your decision on which potatoes to buy.

Solid app. Needs some improvements.. I am leaving this review after having the app for about a day. I am using it to be able to view my photo albums as a widget. That in itself is a great feature as the Apple Photos widget doesn’t have that option. I would like to ask the developer to randomize the algorithm a little more though when choosing pictures to display from the album, as I have seen the same pictures cycled through multiple times in a single day. My album has about 400 pictures so I was a little shocked by this. I would also appreciate if the app would give you the option to chose what pictures from the album are displayed. A way to skip through photos would also be nice. Overall solid start to this app and will be happily awaiting more updates.

Good app but.... I would say this is the best app to customize your widgets compared to the other ones since we’ve had our IOS update but I had to take off a star for as a previous person stated that the widgets will turn gray with lines out of nowhere. I’ve restarted my phone and it still appears gray and even so on for days. It’s also happened to me twice and I had to delete and re-download the app and customize everything all over again. It’s honestly a pain especially if you’re taking a lot of time trying to make your phone look nice. The other minor thing I don’t like is how it says widgetsmith on the bottom. I’d like it better if it didn’t have any title/name under the box but that’s just a minor issue I don’t like personally and can deal with but my MAIN concern is the widgets turning gray. Please fix that!

Great app but some flaws. Just downloaded this after updating to ios 14, and I like it a lot! I have the free version and it’s honestly good enough for me. The only thing I have an issue with is choosing which photos to feature on the widget. I wanted to put two photo widgets on my home screen, one showcasing people photos and the other showing travel photos. However, I came to learn that you can only choose a set of pictures and the two widgets will shuffle through the same pictures. So basically, 2 widgets only use 1 album; you can’t use 2 separate albums. And there’s also another flaw, there’s no button that you can press so you can select to change your photos. It only pops up when you close the app and open it again, and then click on photos. It tells you which album the photos were selected from but you can’t change it unless the notification pops up asking if you want to change your selected photos.

Love This App! Needs Tweaks. I use the app primarily for the photo displays, and it works fantastic! I love having the ability to display an individual photo as well as photo albums. I have about four different widgets on my home screens for this purpose. While the app is great, I would love a few additional features: 1. Provide more control over the next photo timing interval- maybe besides the default timing include options for 1 min., 5 min., 15 min., 30 min., and 60 min. Something like that. 2. Provide the ability to skip to the next photo in an album. Maybe a simple tap on the widget or something similarly intuitive to skip to the next photo in the sequence. 3. Provide an option to have the photos in an album display in the folder order in the widget. I believe the app currently shuffles the order (which I prefer), but having a sequential order option would be nice. 4. Provide the ability to use custom labels for the widgets on the Home Screen. While I understand the idea of promoting the Widgetsmith brand, having that label for every widget placed on the Home Screen isn’t informative/useful. I would like more descriptive customs labels, like the ones the user chooses when creating each widget in the app. Again, this is a great and very useful app. Thank you!!

Amazing so far, but.... I strongly recommend this app to anyone who wants to redesign their phone and widgets. I have found it to be really cool and really helpful. I only really have one note, and that is to do with the calendar. I don’t really know why, but when I type in the time that I want to add an event to, it continues to change the hour. I found a way to fix it, but for the devs, I think it might be something to try to fix. Essentially what was happening is that it was “correcting” the time that I have set in Eastern Standard Time and moving it by about four hours (usually). I managed to fix it by entering the times again, but it is something that you may want to take a look at. Otherwise, the app is really good and I’ve found it to be super helpful. Thank you devs for getting this together for us. It’s already awesome!

Great, Almost!. Literally works perfect for me, I haven’t had any issues that the other comments are mentioning either. However, my one complaint is the photo album option. I have three photo widgets on my Home Screen, each with a different album containing only 3 pictures. I thought it would be really cool if they could sync up so I ordered the photos in a specific way in their albums, this is on an iPhone, and than I added the widgets to my Home Screen within seconds of each other. However, it didn’t match up, when I finally got 2 of them to, for some reason, the time they switched photos were different as well. It’s a bummer cause I thought it would be really cool, but oh well. What can you do? The app itself is great though, they have such colourful and customizable options!

Amazing until a few days ago when a bug showed up. This app was amazing and worked pretty much flawlessly, except for some little things that have already been mentioned in the comments. But, yesterday, when I opened my phone I noticed that all the custom text on those specific widgets has been enlarged, so instead of having one word in the center, half of the word is in the center and the other half is a row beneath, or, the word is in the bottom row. This has been a problem for me since it ruins the aesthetic I used to have on my phone and I have many custom text widgets. I really hope this will be fixed soon because this has been my only serious problem with the app.

Artwork and theme. I really like this app, the option to customize your own widget is great. And with the new aesthetics and artwork, it makes my home screen look even better. I would recommend thought to have a way to where people can make their own aesthetic theme and have a way to share it with everyone else using the app. Also if there would be a way for users to create their own artwork, so there can be a way for people to share their creativity, and also nail the aesthetic on their Home Screen just how they want it. I think having customizable art work would be an awesome idea, and a great way for people to share their artistic talent and help others complete their Home Screen. Another thing is that all the widgets are awesome and I love the new artwork, but it’s hard because all of the best artwork is for a premium membership, and it’s a lot to pay for, just to have cool looking widgets. And I do t think many people will be desperate enough to to pay that much just to make their home screen and widgets be aesthetically pleasing. If there was a different way that people could use the Widgetsmith pro artwork and widgets such as, sharing the app with a certain number of people, or rating it on the AppStore and writing suggestions, that would be a way for people who don’t have the extra money to spend on these designs a way to nail their aesthetic.

AWESOME APP! LISTEN TO THIS!!!!!. This is such a good app. You can add a little something to help, and you can also change the way it looks, make a theme! I used short cuts app for the apps, and this app adds awesome touches, I love yellow, song my whole IPAD yes iPad, you can use it on a phone and iPad! Anyway, it all yellow theme. I can add a weather to tell me the weather for each day. I can add calendars, I can even add a yellow or any photo with the date to I give my iPad more awesome adds! If you want some others, you can pay! But it’s optional. That’s only if u want just a little more! I also have a yellow Pinterest bored, so every hour a yellow Pinterest widget turn to a cute pic! This app is awesome and calms me when I look at it. But if you don’t like the cute aesthetic vibes. Just add a plain widget as a helpful thing! I REALLY recommend this app! And not only can u do yellow, u can have themes like a beach vibe! Or pink?! PLEASE get this app!!!! Ps. Sorry it so long, I just had to tell u about it!

Aubrey. I think that widget smith is a great app to use! I was having trouble trying to get themed widgets and then I added the app. It’s kind of funny because I downloaded the app like a week ago, and I already like it! 🤣 I would definitely say that the app gives my phone a lot of style and let’s me decorate it with things that I like, and it makes my phone seem more personalized to my liking. I also like to put funny stuff on my widgets because my friends and I like to joke around and we are just a funny/goofy group! That is pretty much all I have to say, but I definitely would rate the app a 5/5, and if I was out of ten I would rate it a 10/10 haha 😂. Alright thanks for reading this if ya did bc u probs just had you time wasted! JK JK I actually like the app no worries, and I definitely recommend downloading it!

Great widget app but.... This is honestly my favorite widget app to use for customizing my iPhone Home Screen after the new update.. but there is a little bug that’s pretty annoying. After I was done customizing my Home Screen I wanted to add a little extra widget just for fun. I did all the steps I did before, put the picture I wanted into a individual album, picked the album that I wanted to use on the Widgetsmith app and hit save. When I check how it looked like on the Home Screen, it was just the default gray widget (before adding anything). I tried to edit it and just re-select the picture I wanted but that didn’t work. I tried wit other pictures and some worked but others didn’t. I deleted that widget and made a new one. Still didn’t work. I delete the photo, uploaded it again to the Widgetsmith app and it still did not want to work. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

great app!!. Ok so to be honest this app isn't the very best it could be, BUT I think this app is amazing not only because of the amount of versatility it offers as opposed to other third party apps, but in my opinion it's also the best. Yes sure there are a couple of features that could be better but what i really want to give a round of applause for is the commitment of the developer. Props to you I can see that you've been working so hard to get out new updates that fix all kinds of thing and constantly add new features. I see that every time I go into the app store there's another update and that shows just how committed you are to making this the best possible app. I can't skim over the fact that this is also the BEST 3rd party app for widgets right now so go ahead and download it, you won't be disappointed. I'm so excited to see the new things you bring to this app!!

Great just a few problems. I love the app so far. It’s been great and it’s pretty easy to figure out, especially with the FAQ and such but I do find the labels annoying since you can’t change them to at least say “quote” or something like that for whatever the widget is. I would also like for there to be at least 2 or 3 of the weather widgets that aren’t premium because I feel like that’s one of the things quite a few people will most likely want and not want to have to pay to be able to have it. I also would like to be able to link different things to it like a file or photo album, I feel like that would be a pretty cool feature to have (not just for premium members). Other than that the app gives you pretty good freedom for whatever you want to do with it and thus far doesn’t have any bugs or problems.

Good app, but you need to fix a FEW of things…. Overall, Widgetsmith is a pretty good app. But, as all apps have, there are a few pretty annoying attributes. For example, nobody will want to pay to get weather on their widgets. Also, some of the themes that are cute are for premium only. Another pretty annoying thing is that when I create my default widget style, it never makes it the default. I always have to select the “default” option, which is all the way at the bottom. But, as this app has its downsides, it also has its upsides. I love that you can create gradient/ombré wallpapers, and the widget customization is phenomenal. Some apps that aren’t specifically designed for widgets (unlike this one) have horrible customization for widgets, but this one is good. Overall, this app is a pretty good app.

Fantastic app!. I recommend this app for anyone who has an iPhone of an iPad. I think it’s a great way to make your phone or iPad your own. Custom Widgets So I can make widgets out of my own photos or even ones I find on the internet of like cute pets or something. I use Widgetsmith on my iPhone and it’s a great way to decorate your iPhone. I recommend this for anyone who wants to use there own photos as bubbles that pop up on your phone or iPad screen! Sizing The sizes on Widgetsmith are small, medium, and large. I personally like the small and medium because they can make a nice photo fit in. Most of my photos are from a distance so small widgets are great! The large are a bit big for me tho. So you can edit the widgets to have a print on them, but I still think it would be to big. Again this is a personal opinion. Like I said lots of my photos are taken from a distance so small and medium are for me! Is there anything really bad? No! Nothing is wrong with widgetsmith! I adore the cute outlines you can style your widgets with and all the formats! Widgetsmith is a great was to express yourself and I think it’s a good way to get to know someone just by looking at there widgets on there phone or iPad! In conclusion, I think Widgetsmith is a great was to style up your iPhone or iPad!

Does the basics, but needs a few revisions. Overall, the app is good. I think it does its job well enough, but it’s very simple. I like the customizable nature of the app, my home screen looks a lot better since downloading it. The only technical issue I have encountered is that my large widget for my reminders seems to glitch at random points and not list any of my scheduled items. This is not a constant issue, but it does happen every once in a while, as well as taking a while to update once I add a new reminder. The only other complaints I have are a matter of further improving aesthetic and perhaps some future ideas, none of which are deal-breakers for me, but would improve my experience with the app. I don’t particularly like the battery widget as it shows only the battery and not the percentage, which seems almost useless to me, as I have the same symbol showing in the upper right corner of my screen at all times. I also wish that the widgets did not say widgetsmith underneath them (similar to how the name of an app shows under its icon), I would prefer they have no title/caption. My third wish is that the widgets could have customizable shortcuts, so that when I select them, I am taken to the app that corresponds to the widget, rather than simply opening the widgetsmith app. Nonetheless, I recommend this app. It makes me happy to see my home screen much more organized and customized to my aesthetic. I much preferred this app to others similar to it.

An Awesome Find. So I had been looking for widget apps for a while because I wanted to organize and redo my iPad. I was looking at so many apps that were “free” to instal but costed money in the app. People mostly said that they just paid the money but I don’t want to pay money for just some widgets. But then I found widget smith. This app is so awesome. It does cost some money for the premium version but I got some really cute widgets out of this app. I just want simple bordered pictures or a widget with the time and that’s what I got! You can customize the theme with the color of the text the color of the background, and the color of the border! And they have a really good selection of colors too! If your just want simple, cute bordered pictures, then you should definitely get this app.

Really Good Widget App!!!. I was actually looking through the other comments and noticed that a lot of them gave lower ratings because they couldn't make an individual photo appear where they wanted it to, but if I'm being honest the only reason why that wouldn't work is because you didn't look carefully at the options they gave you. I made my home screen look exactly how I wanted it too and I didn't have to make any changes to my photos (create new albums) and it worked out perfectly fine. So I ask that if you are leaving a low star rated review you check back on the app and look through your options once more, and carefully I might add. Well, if you've read all the way through this comment I appreciate your dedication and ask that you give a good rating for the app because the creator worked really hard on this!

Love The Widgets, Support Needs Some Work!. This would have been a five star review, but minus one star for the clock’s hand that don’t move, on the medium clock with calendar widget, after the 2.7 update. Then, minus one more star for receiving an auto response from support when I sent them an email about it. I realize that it can be a daunting task to personally respond to every single person that sends an email to a developer, but how is one to know that they even looked at the bug report. It wouldn’t appear so, as they have come out with a patch since, and the issue remains. What good is a clock that doesn't keep time, well….it’s right twice a day. So, wondering if they at least read their reviews, and will look into fixing the widget that has had it’s home as the only thing on the first page of my Home Screen for a year, and I have had to move it to the last page until it works again. It’s the top of a Smart Stack so don’t want to get rid of it altogether, and don’t care for any or the others in it’s place.

Works fairly well, but the custom text doesn’t quite work.. I’ve had this app for several months now and haven’t had a problem with it until recently. I don’t know if this is due to an update, but the option for making a widget with custom text has a glitch. You have many options as for the font, however, the first four listed (System, Rounded, New York, and SF Mono) will ONLY show up at the very top of the widget. Even if what you type is more than one line, it shrinks the size of the font down to fit it all in one line at the top. This is very annoying and disappointing. If this can be fixed I would very much appreciate it. P.S. As far as I’ve noticed, this is only with the custom text option, so if you don’t plan on using it, I think it is a great app and quite useful. (That’s why I’m giving it four stars)

Personal Customization on Point!. I’m here to give you guys a great rating, and to thank you for making my phone look so aesthetically pleasing. Although, I would like to make one request to the developers if this gets to their inbox. My phone looks near perfect, except I keep my Screen Time medium widget on my second page, and it’s stuck gray. I’m running an all B&W theme, (Daring, I know🥴); and would like to ask if you guys could add a Functioning Screen Time widget? Now, I understand if this would violate some policies you can or can’t forego by “looking into our phones for data”, but if this is possible, I wouldn’t doubt that me and many other users would appreciate it! Thanks again for being one of the first developers to hop on the Custom Widget train and making it so simple to do so. Hope this helps!

Found the thing that doesn’t make the customized widget open. So basically I downloaded this app to customize my Home Screen after getting the new iOS14 but to my surprise every time I customize my widget and try to add it to my Home Screen it just won’t open and only opens up the standard, default one. I gave this app, at first, a one star review till I found the thing that won’t open up my customized widget. Now when you customize your widget and then save it, you’ll be brought back to the page where you pick between small, medium and large widget so you go to the one which you customize, you click on it and then you’ll see in the middle of the clock your customized widget but look closely on the surrounding areas (outside the clock) and you’ll see the standard, default widget there so you’ll click it and then delete it. After that you’ll get your customized widget! You’re welcome!

I think it’s good but needs some work. It seems like people mostly download this app for customizable pictures in their widgets. But sometimes it will turn grey. Also, as soon as I got the new update for this app, it won’t let me add any new widgets. For example when my homepage is in jingle mode and I click the + to add a new widget, I try to look up Widgetsmith but now however, it’s not there! So it won’t let me add new widgets. Also my widgets I already had all turned grey and when I hold down the widget to click on “edit widget” it’s not there anymore! So I can’t even change it at all. Also before I got the update the last few widgets I added were all grey and I couldn’t get the picture I wanted. It’s a really good app and concept but I feel like it also needs to have directions on how to use it and edit widgets on the homepage to change widgets. Also it has bugs that need to be fixed. :( (by the way could you please make it so we can customize the widgets name so it doesn’t just say Widgetsmith?)

Worked great AT FIRST, but then.... I downloaded iOS 14 because I noticed everybody having widgets in their home screens and I thought it was the coolest thing! The set up itself was a bit difficult but the end result made it all worth it. I hadn’t touched anything with my widgets and now all of a sudden the widgets on my home screen are gray. I’ve looked up everything on how to fix it, and even restarted my phone but nothing was working. I’m debating on whether or not to delete the app and just start from scratch but I really don’t want to do that and shouldn’t have to. If you guys could fix this problem, and maybe add features to where we can actually select photos to be on our widget instead of having to create new albums just for the photos we want on the widget, this would greatly be appreciated!

I love this app!. I don’t know why people are saying you can’t choose a custom photo, maybe it’s because it wasn’t available at the time or they were doing it wrong.. but I know it works for me! It’s the only app that works for me actually! The others don’t allow me to choose my own pictures for a specific widget, just put them all in and if it decides it wants to use that one then it will. Which is crap. This one allows me to choose the specific picture and size which is amazing! I also like the fact that we can choose other types of widgets from clocks, pictures, custom texts, and photos (all within the free version)! I only have one issue, you can’t add custom fonts. At least not the way I usually do it, I’ll try again and if it doesn’t work I won’t change my review. Hopefully this will be a feature added in the future.

Great App, But One Thing. I just got this app and so far love it, but I came up with an idea that would be a game changer! I have not gone through the app completely so my apologies if this is already a thing. I love organizing my apps in folders, but I don’t like the way they look. It would be very useful if there was a way you could put a widget over the folder so then I will have it on my screen, but you don’t see the apps in it. For a deeper description, if I made a folder for my school apps, I could put a, for example, small widget of a photo over it. Once you click on the widget, it will take you into the folder of the apps and you move on for there. This way the folder of apps are easily accessible yet hidden. Thank you for such a great app and I hope, if it’s not already a thing, you take my suggestion into consideration!

good app but needs some fixes. i know iOS 14 and this app is very new still, so i dont think its that bad as a new app. it could use some fixes though. first of all, you’re not able to pick your own photo for the photo option (you can only pick an album, and it picks a random photo from the album) i dont really like this feature since i had to make a bunch of albums for different photos i wanted. so if its possible, having an option to pick your own photo would be a great addition to the app. second of all, the widgets sometimes dont work. i got the app yesterday, and they were working perfectly fine at first. but now the widgets dont seem to show up? i put a widget on the home screen, but then it just shows up gray with nothing on it, and its been going on for the past few hours. this might just be a temporary glitch, but i would also suggest looking into that. overall, its a great app. im excited for whats to come and what new features could be added.

great but stopped working. I really love the app and have made multiple widgets that work really well and look very aesthetically pleasing. I love how customizable it is and how many options there are. When I was almost done making widgets, however, it stopped working. When I tried making photo widgets following the same exact process, the default grey thing appeared. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it and still hasn’t changed. The time widget and the calendar widget also stopped updating so it’s stuck on 4:34pm and won’t change. The calendar widget also thinks it’s still September 20. Hopefully you come out with a fix for this bug soon because I love the app and would like to fix it. If there is one thing I would change, I would wish that you can remove the “Widgetsmith” name from under every single widget.

Can’t display time over a photo.. I want to give this app more stars. It’s wonderful in conception, and mostly really user-friendly. It totally upgraded my phone home pages, and circumvents Apple’s seeming-obsession with not allowing users to customize anything. However. There is absolutely no way to display the time over a photo, unless you also have the day and date displayed over that photo. I have one widget for day, one widget for date (both with photo backgrounds), and I want one widget for time. But the only way to have a widget display time is for it to have one of the widgetsmith backgrounds. Why??? This makes no sense to me. It’s not even an option to buy it, like the weather-over-photo widgets. It’s driving me nuts. I generally have no patience for depriving users of customizability, which is why I do like widgetsmith, but in this regard it is depriving me of the ability to customize and I can’t see any good reason why. Please add a time-over-photo widget. Absolutely would be 5 stars then.

Good app but small problem. It’s a good app. I absolutely love this app. I’ve had it ever since the ios14 came out. I have one small little problem with this though. This morning all the widgets on my phone were perfectly fine and they’ve been showing up on my Home Screen, but later today they turned gray with lines over it and I tried to fix it and tried to make the widget picture I put in show up, but it just didn’t. I didn’t erase the app or the widgets because maybe I thought it was just a small glitch, so I just powered on and off my phone and tried again, but apparently the widgets of my choice of photo still didn’t show which made me very upset because without those widgets my Home Screen just doesn’t make sense and the day I rearranged my whole entire Home Screen it took me 4 hours. I googled my problem and it didn’t show anything of what I was going through, but I just wanted to let you guys know that. I also still as of right now, have those widgets up, but it’s just gray with gray lines over it and maybe I’m thinking it’s an iOS issue or something, but it’s been like this for a few hours now.

A few things I’d like to be added. First, I know it’s important to have your name out there but it kinda destroys the aesthetic to not be able to remove the text under each widget. Second, I wanted to have a little zig zag pattern with apps with the background still flush, however, it does not offer a transparent widget and that would be very nice for a unique arrangement of apps like I had in mind. Instead I had to crop and edit my background to different places so it appeared transparent, but even then switching pages made it look a lot less clean and smooth. Third, I have a calendar widget that shows what I have for events and it’s awesome. However, clicking on it leads me to Widgetsmith instead of more calendar functions. I understand you want more exposure but it’s less user oriented that way. I’m not sure if that’s something you can fix but it would be a fantastic addition. Overall, I think it’s great for a pretty new app and update, but there’s always room for improvement so keep working hard!! Thank you!

Used to be better. I just changed phones and updated the app and boy do I wish I could undo. One of the two functions I used the app for I can’t find. I used to adore timed widgets. Where you could set a certain time for the widget to change. I know that they have albums now, which change about 15 minutes, but it would be nice to be able to make some photos occur at certain times of the day, or have one photo up for longer than another. For example, I used to be able to have a large widget change between 2 photos and a small one change between matching 5 photos where 2 small photos could match one big photo and the 3 other small photos could match the other big photo. Now it won’t synch like that. I will say it still works, no bugs. Photos show up when selected. It’s just disappointing when one of the only things I used this app for no longer shows up.

Good but not that great. Lacking in features will lack creativity. Personally i don’t know why they say they support png images when in reality they don’t, because it doesn’t work and they give us a solid color background when it should’ve been transparent. Talk about false advertisement. If they don’t step up their game, other websites that’s already making png icons and possibly png widgets are actually better than apps like these who give you the standard customization with limits. 🤷‍♂️ im really picky when it comes to any software and apps so hence why this review might sound stupid to make but hey if a customer isn’t really satisfied with results feedbacks are always welcomed. Anyways I hope they add png images like they said they “support”, anyways the app is good but like I said, limitations for ppl who do like advanced editing or like to do the extras… would have to figure out another way or wait.

A few glitches, but overall a great app.. I just got this app when I updated my phone to ios14 and I love to use this app to make my phone more unique! However, after a day or two of having set widgets on my homescreen, the widgets start to glitch. For example the "date" widget wont change the date for the next day and same with the "temperature" widget. Also, around the same time the other widgets start acting up, the widget that I use to showcase a picture/album gets blurry and also will not change. When I attempt to solve this issue the whole widget will glitch all together and will either show a grey or black screen and I have learned one of the only ways to solve this issue is by deleting all of my widgets + the app and redownloading to start fresh. Also this is a solution, it is very frustrating and annoying to have to completely restart my whole homescreen. I absolutely love this app and I feel that with a few updates and bug fixes, it will be even better than what it is now.

A request. I would like to change my apps without buying the premium because then u can use other apps to put in widgets and I might not use this one and, same for other people. But, that is a really hard request to accept so I’m not looking forward to get an actual answer but it would be great if this worked. Over all this is a great app and it’s very easy to insert the widgets without using the short cut app. For people who don’t now what the shortcut app is, it is an app you can install widgets and change the color of your apps, but it’s is pretty complicated to use so I recommend this app more. In consultation, this isn’t the best app you can find to customize your home screen, but it does an decent amount of work to make your Home Screen filled with things/people/characters/colors you like!

Small Problem. Firstly the app is amazing. My phone is perfectly customized to my aesthetic and I couldn’t be happier with the look. Unfortunately I noticed that around the beginning of Nov (2020) the widgets aren’t updating correctly any more. My calendar would still say the previous date, or my moon cycle would not be up to date. I also noticed that they look slightly fuzzy or grainy when it’s not correct. The only way I can fix it is to change the calendar to a random widget, the click on the calendar again. But as of lately, it still is grainy. Then the next day it’s stuck to the old date again. When will a update be coming out to fix this? Because I don’t want to have to find a different app but I want all my widgets to be working properly. Please respond so I know these reviews actually do work. Hope to hear from you soon.

LOVE THIS APP. I was a bit confused on how to make widgets at first but once I got the hang of it it was really easy. There are so many good themes to choose from but I personally use the custom one. There are also many layouts and types of data you can add and customize and I love how easily and often it syncs with my calendar, reminders, pictures, weather and more. There is also a custom wallpaper maker which I tried out. The only things I don’t like about this app is that whenever I put a widget on my phone home screen, it says Widgetsmith under the widget instead of what I named it. I’m pretty sure that can’t really be fixed as it’s the name of the app. Also the weather widgets are a premium feature in case you were wondering. Overall, I think this is a really great app for anyone in need of amazing looking widgets and highly recommend over other widget apps. You might want look for app icons somewhere else though.

Super great for organization, however... I love this app, It helps make my phone look all the more stylish, however I do have some complaints, but they are minor ones such as, When you have an event on the calendar widget, theres no special indicator for the day on the widget unless it’s happening today or tomorrow, also for the countdown I wish there was an option for it to automatically repeat after it completes, for example if you have one for when school ends, or when your work shift ends, you can just set it to the next day when its over which is fine, its a minor inconvenience. Finally is there a way to store more than one custom theme, or can you only store one and manually input another? Anyways other than those minor inconveniences this app is a 5/5, Its easy to use, Super convenient (minus those few things), You don’t need the subscription to enjoy the app, and it helps you add a bit more flair to your phone.

Small issue. Hi, I have a a little problem with this app. I’ve seen many reviews like this but they all said that they have a grey screen. Mine is black. Let me just tell you the story. So I just got this app 2 days ago because I didn’t know there was an iOS 14 and I was shocked so I download the update. I also downloaded this app too. I was looking for a reference on safari while it was loading. I finished with my widget. The next morning, I wanted to change my picture so I took a picture and upload it to here but the screen is just black. I’ve tried it on many pictures but it’s still the same; and all pictures are brand new, fresh out of my camera roll. If you a creator of this widget app, please fix this issue. I really like this app overall. I think it’s really convenient so I kind of recommend this app.

Great app, just a few minor things. Overall this is a very nice app. There are a lot of good things about it, however there are a few minor problems. First off, I want to use a small widget for my school assignments (I usually use the reminders app for them) in the preview all of the text fits and looks very nice, but when I put it on my home screen it only displays 3 out of the 4 assignments that I have, but the 4th one is cut out. I wish that the version on the home screen looks the same as the preview. The battery widget also doesn’t have the battery percentage, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose of the widget in the first place. Sometimes there is a glitch when they are grey, but it goes away after a while. Sometimes when I put pictures there is a thin white line on the right side, so it looks strange. Overall, I like this app, but like most things there are a few small issues.

App with great potential but significant problems. This review is particularly for those looking to pay for the premium subscription. I decided to pay because I really wanted a weather widget to match my Home Screen aesthetic and this was the only customizable option I could find. At the beginning the only issue I had was that I wished when you clicked the widget it would take you to more detailed weather info, but I understood this is not a weather app so I was fine dealing with that. However, I started to notice that the weather is not accurate to my location. It is significantly off from my local weather and I made sure to double check in the app that I had the right location and settings selected. Because of this, I will be cancelling my subscription to the premium services and cannot recommend until the issue is fixed, but I will continue to use the non-premium version for the photo widgets.

Absolutely amazing but... I give this Four Stars because, their are all sorts of widgets that you can use but the problem is some 'accessories'/ decoration for the widget, some of them are not there yet but the6 still show really makes me mad! i sometimes get confused if my internet is not working because i can't see some. My second problem is the 'Photos' this really shouldn't be a problem but.. when you're adjusting you're photo I can't get it at the right spot. You could maybe make all spots adjustable, it would make it more easier to put you're Photo in . My THIRD problem is that I can't find the Fonts that i need! This app really needs like more 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 it really makes it more pretty/cute for a girl! (I Would Be Very Happy If Some Of My Problems Were Fixed!)

Can’t exactly customize. So my friend uses this and says it’s good so that’s why I gave you some stars I personally haven’t used this because of what I will tell you. So the thing is I want this specific picture right but when I try to make it it only gives me a certain selection like favorites recents etc. but the problem is when I click it, it inserts a random photo from that category and that’s not what I want I want specific photos. I tried to go to the help settings but the videos are out dated the set up of the app it had is not the set up it is now and basically what I got from one of the videos is you can’t chose the picture it randomly choses for you. I want control over my pictures I mean the whole point is to be able to customize your widgets right? Also when I looked in the help section I found something that could help but these help instructions are outdated the set up isn’t the same I tried to follow the instructions but it said after going to default one scroll down to custom section but I scrolled there’s no custom section anymore. So If this is an option and I just don’t know or either you could make it an option that would be great! And if you could update the help instructions and videos that would also be great because if it is an option I would like to select certain photos and the instructions now can’t help because there outdated and it’s not well helping. So if you can help out here thank you!!

Works perfectly. I don’t how people are having problems it’s probably their phone that doesn’t work not the app. I got it two days ago and I was able to use all sizes and put any picture I want in there, and it never freezes or doesn’t let me click on it. I already made my phone look exactly how I imagined and it lets me stack the widgets together to make like a slide show. And all the people saying you need to make a separate album for each are wrong or probably confused. You just have to click on “photo” then look at the bottom of your screen and then tap on “selected photo”then it will let you choose your photo. I think the people you see using albums don’t know how to use the photo button. So yeah I love this app and it worked perfectly. If you see bad reviews ignore them until you tried it out for yourself because obviously it works for some people like me and all the other people online that have been posting videos on how to do it.☺️Have a good day.

AMAZING, idk why so many one starts. THIS APP IS GREAT FIR IOS 14 LIKE IT MAKES YOUR HIME SCREEN SO GOOD AND IT WAS REALKY EASY TO SET UP! Ok I’m just going to get my mom to show her this app and she is not going on a trip so I’m not going on the same day so I’m not going on the same page and she said that she would be ok if she is going on a date with me or I don’t think she is ok I don’t know what about to say I though it was a joke she is not really sure tyi I would have to go back and get it to you see if she is not mad or I just don’t want her I know that I just want you guys out and I don’t think know why I don’t know what if you want me to do it I know that I’m not really sure how you are doing it I’m just going to get you a good time and I’m just going to get a hold of you you guys don’t know why I don’t want you guys don’t want me to do anything with your family I know you you know I love it

Great! Problem is..... So I downloaded this app yesterday and I was super excited! There was just one flaw to it (more like 2 flaws...). Every time I go to “choose photo”, it lags like crazy!!! And sometimes it will freeze and I’m scared that it will log me out of the app (but it never does). And the other thing is that, when I was ready to add the widget to my Home Screen, the Widgets were completely blank and grey! It was kinda disappointing because my friend has this and even showed me how it looked and it looked amazing, but when I tried it, nothing happened. Even when I would add it to the Home Screen, there was still nothing on it. Please fix this problem. I’m really looking forward to adding these widgets to my phone but I’m scared that it will still be blank when I try again. But other than what I just explained, it’s a great app! I fully recommend it. Please fix these problems app developer! (Can you pleased also fix the lag?)

love it!! just a couple things. I like this app a lot, I like that my screen looks nice and color-coordinated. What would help me a lot is if I didn’t have to make an album with one photo to get my photo widgets to work. I know a lot of people are having the same problem, it’s not a huge deal right now but it’s definitely a hassle and takes a bit of time. This is a little more picky but I think a lot of people would agree that a custom color option would be AMAZING. Some of the colors just don’t work with what I wanted on my screen, I had to adjust colors to the Widgetsmith colors and it took a very long time. The pinks are a little too salmon-y colored, and the pastel purple looks a little more blue than purple. I don’t know about the other colors since my goal for my Home Screen was pastel pinks, purples, and blues, but I wish I didn’t have to adjust to the Widgetsmith colors. I would also love if I can change the colors of some weather widgets instead of having those bright orange colors.

App review. To be honest when I got the new iOS update and downloaded the app it was great ! But then I saw that my widgets started to turn grey with lines. I saw another person having the same problem and I did the same thing. I even deleted the app and it still does it. I’m kinda upset that the fact that I was super excited that my home screen finally looked decent instead of my apps being all over the place. But I refuse to leave this ugly gray squares on my home screen I hope this is a glitch or something. I am paying for the subscription so I expected some kind of great experience out of the app but I hope they fix this soon. If they don’t I’m canceling the subscription and deleting the app !!! But overall the app is okay i would recommend if you want something very typical and just your daily things you want to access or see the time, battery percentage, etc.

Great but some small bugs. This app is great, simple to use and very good in general. However I have noticed a few bugs here and there. When creating a photo widget with a black background there is a thin white line on the right side, this has been like it ever since I got the app (as soon as it was available with iOS 14). Sure hope these bugs will be fixed soon! Otherwise great app and highly recommend.

Just minor things. I’d always get blank screen with my widgets and I’d just get so frustrated because whatever I’d do it just wouldn’t work sometimes it would but half of the time it would I have to keep switching between photos to get my one up but sometimes it would just show up a black screen on my widget and I find it very frustrating because I might have just wasted my time doing all of this if all of it goes blank the next day as it said in previous reviews please fix this🥺

Looks like the developer works hard. Widgets are elegant and much more customisable than alternative apps. Regular updates have also made the UI and feature set quite mature. Privacy policy promises no slurping of personal data, which makes me very happy. Upgraded previous rating after recent feature updates quashed remaining usability issues -home-screen widgets are still a brand new feature to iOS at time of writing, so this is a sign of active development/maintenance.

Very good but bug fix needed. The app has so many customizable options and its the best app to customize on an iphone so far! But one minor thing is that when I added all my widgets on my Home Screen and restarted my settings for another thing for my phone the next day all of a sudden all my widgets are blank with just black except for one and I tried every fixes I searched up but it doesn’t seem to work and I think it’s a bug in the app that is doing this. Please consider this and make a update that would be very appreciated thank you. 😊

Good alternative. Since iPhone is kinda new to this widget game, this provides further customisation which is nicer to have. I immediately replaced the stock date / clock widgets. My only wish is the small date widget has month in it as well instead of just day and date. Otherwise, big kudos to dev for making this nifty app. I’m looking forward to see how this will evolve in near future.

Awesome. This app is the best app for widgets, although you can pay for premium there are still heaps of other things you can do without premium I would recommend this app even if you don’t want to spend money 5 stars :)

Very good just one feature I would love. Now I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people this is a good app but it would be even better if we could change the display name on our Home Screen on photo widgets because when it just says Widgetsmith it’s pretty boring anyways plsss add this it would change my life

showing grey. i really like this app, it made my homescreen look cool but sometimes the pictures wont load. It keeps showing grey, i even restarted my phone to see if it works again but it didnt, i was wondering if u could fix this bug but overall this app is really nice.

Amazing!. I just downloaded this app, and it works great! We can add our custom images into a widget! And they also have other thing like weather and calendars for premium! I really recommend you download this app if you want cute, cool widgets.

⚠️ Some Suggestions ⚠️. I enjoy the app so much. I would highly recommend it to families and friends. I just wanted to make a suggestion for a better improvement for this app and the reason why is because I was going through the reviews. 💡maybe remove the “widget-smith” name at the bottom of each widgets that has been added to the Home Screen. 💡more options like people can choose their own picture and a text in there as well. 💡less time consuming by allowing photos to turn into widgetsmith but go to the app in order to add it to home screen. You don’t have to do these things it’s just an idea and something that I thing can improve the app - but yous who made it make that choice. Thanks for you time. Huesca Mamiarisoa

Love it just some glitches. Love the app and how it lets you customise your Home Screen. I’ve come across a glitch where the blocks randomly become grey and I can’t add anymore widgets to the home screen anymore without them becoming grey. When I updated the app all my widgetsmith widgets turned grey :( Hopefully it can be fixed in the next update because I love this app but it keeps glitching!

Problem with Clock option. It’s a very good app to customise my widgets however I’ve noticed that there is a problem worth the clock and date widget. They won’t update by themselves on my Home Screen but when I go in the app, it shows the correct time. The only way to have a temporarily correct reading is if I edit the widget to refresh it (on my home page). Please fix this soon. Other that, this is a nice app to manage your widgets.

PLEASE TELL ME WHY?. So whenever I swipe left to right through my home pages the widgets would turn black and I would wait maybe 15 seconds and the image would appear. I just want to know why this is happening and how I can fix it. This has only been happening lately however this app has been good overall, except for this problem. Thank you

Really smart 😁😁😁😁😁😁. So when I tried this app on premium, the premium is so cool that you can choose from many colours, fonts, filters and more! I tried and it pasted so well! Please put new widgets for new widget updates so I can get more happier! Thank you Widgetsmith!

Great app so happy. I’m so happy with this app, I have been searching for free widgets all day and I came across this app thinking that I wouldn’t ever get to edit my Home Screen but I downloaded this app in shock that is was free great experience, now my home screen looks amazing and alive.

Love it 😊. This app made my ipad transform from boring to stylish, I even could customise the widget I was creating like the border colour, The size of the widget and way more! It was an amazing app and I would give it a 10 out of 10, It is honestly the best decision I have made to decorate my ipad. Great job! Download it now trust me it is great!

EEK 😬😅🤩🥳😝 Emoji. Hey, this is the most best app I ever had there is nothing wrong except for when I updated the app it went crazy!🤪. I updated the app and I could only use 5 colours, only small for the widget to be but it’s the best app😀 If you can maybe give it a look at because it has been really weird but don’t worry I’ve told people about it so a lot of my friends and family have the app so you will get 5 rating stars ⭐️ a lot!!! BEST APP IN THE 🌏 Eek 😬 😎Widget Smith😎

Good, attractive, plenty of colours. The Apple widgets are quite plain and boring so it’s nice to have more options. Only downside I’ve found so far is that the “Activity Bar” is stuck in calories even when your activity app is set to kilojoules. Pity because the confusion stops me using that widget. Apart from that, nice colours and fonts and decent calendars and clock faces. Recommended.

Really good but has some bugs. I really like this app because it helps to customise my Home Screen, but there is some bugs. One thing that happens to me is when I try to add a widget on my home screen it goes grey and doesn’t add the photo. It is really annoying because I can’t use it properly. I have made sure I am selecting the right widget and using it properly but it doesn’t do anything and the widget still goes grey. Could you please fix this because I love this app and would like to use it more!

💛Aesthetic and Amazing. Ok.. I am one to love aesthetics and make it look amazing 🤩. At first I was like??? But after learning and messing around my IPad is so aesthetic and shows everything I want!!! Having the astronomy feature made me super excited for each day to check what the moon is like and when the sun will rise and set. It is super amazing and I haven’t even got any bugs yet so 5 stars ⭐️.

so inconveinient and difficult to use. i do not reccomend this app. firstly, you have to figure it out yourself with no tutorial whatsoever, secondly, it almost never does what I want it to. you can’t pick a specific photo from an album and put a specific widget on the Home Screen, you just have to hope for the best.

Good but here’s a suggestion. Really good app a feature I would love to see would be: To have clear background image with the text and everything there. Rather than having a solid background or image, I feel like this would be a really good option aswell Please take this into consideration, I would really appreciate it!!

Amazing. Omg! My friend has a phone and I have an iPad, the other day she showed me her really cute widgets and she said that you could only get them on phones! I was so annoyed. But then I found this app (Widgetsmith) and it’s easy to make cute widgets! The only bad thing is that the widgets only appear on the side of the Home Screen (which I don’t mind) but it would be better to have more placement option on an iPad! It is 100% free and easy to use! 🤗

Offers alot for free! Needs a few bugs ironed out. Love the variety of different styles and functions of widgets, it offers alot more than most other free apps and has unique things too like countdown widgets :) but there are a few small issues, using the same example again the countdown timer isnt calculated correctly :/ specifically, september 19th is 70 days away (depending on timezone) but widget smith says its 63 days away for some reason? ive tried resetting a few things but no luck Still really sweet tho! I love the customisability :)

Good app. Please READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE DOWNLOADING! Widgetsmith is a great app and I would recommend it for ages 10+ This is because it could be difficult for children to work out how to use it. A great addition to the app would be a tutorial on how to use it, as even I was stumped after downloading it. While there are many options to choose, an obvious one which isn’t added into the app yet and many people want it: a picture with customisable writing on top. This widget just MAKES SENSE and it is very annoying how it’s not added into the app! If these two problems were fixed, Widgetsmith would be a GREAT app and I’d recommend it for ANY age! :)

Can’t get rid of widgetsmith label. This is a great app. I love how it lets me personalise my apps. I would love to see more edit features (colours, apps, etc.). One big thing I would like to change though is that you can’t seem to get rid of the ‘widgetsmith’ label under the widget, which is a bit annoying. Hopefully this is fixed in the next update too. Keep it up!

Pretty good. This app takes a while to figure out but is overall pretty and nice and I have seen people make some very aesthetic home screens with the app. I have also seen people have crashing issues which I haven’t experienced with an iPhone 7. Overall I find this app quite useful and easy to change and play around with. 👌

??? Hello??. The app worked fine when I first got it but now I’ve realised two problems where 1) the quality pictures are more blurry and pixilated than it used to be and 2) it shows grey or black blank colour when I try to change or add photos. I hope it’s fixed soon!

Needs touch ups. The app is creative it’s self but a few things need fixing. Please change the option of letting the app choose what picture we want from our camera roll and let us select it please , and I’m not sure if I’m the only one but once I use the app for a long period of time or make a few amounts of widgets the app crashes and won’t load any of the pictures I’ve chose for the widgets anymore. Please fix this , the app is really great but could be even better :)

Easy to use. This app is simple to use , the widgets look nice ect . My only gripe is the medium calendar and clock widget freezes and will only catch up time and date if my phone is restarted or I delete the widget and reapply it. . Lots to do in the free version but would only buy if these issues are ironed out . The real time tide clock and weather would be useful .

Grey Box. Wow when I downloaded the app and was able to do all this I was amazed, you had the ability to do so much to your phone setup but I had one problem. I restarted my phone, I remade widgets, I made sure permission was granted and yet some not all of my widgets turned into a grey box and widgets that I have made recently even widgets that are default on calendar or such are also grey please help or fix this bug if it is a bug. THANKS!!!

More colours please. I’m loving the app so far! My home screens look better than ever! My only request would be more colour options for tint and background. Specifically, the pale purple background seems a little more blue to me, and I’d love a more purple one to match the rest of the aesthetic on my phone. More colours in general would just be fab for extra customisation and coordination!

Absolutely Amazing. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone I know. I like how it looks and works, and it is really easy to figure out and customise once you get the hang of it. Even when swapping phones, all my widgets saved. It looks really nice, it doesn’t cost any money, truely a great app. Nice job!

Confusing but Does it’s Job. Widgetsmith for me was very confusing on how to make a widget with a photo attached to it at first but after about 10-15 minutes of tinkering I finally got it to work. Now I might sound like an idiot for this but I really think you should consider making a tutorial or something like that. Thank you for reading my review if you did and I hope you found this helpful.

This is a great app! (Just please change one thing). I love this app so much and it lets me customise my Home Screen a lot. There’s just one thing I wish that they would have. If you want to have a reminder widget you can only choose a colour for your background; I’d love to be able to set my own reminder widget background with whatever photo I want. Apart from that this is a great app, highly recommend 😊

Great. Amazing I love the way you have different options and it’s really really good if you are like in different type of zone like if you are studying or if like you’re something different it’s always nice to have something else so yeah it’s a great gamely cool

Perfect. I have had it for a while. It’s a great way to transform boring widgets into whatever you want! It’s really easy and you don’t even need to unlock everything for it to be enjoyable. All you have to do is pick the size and then you can decorate and transform it into whatever your heart desires. However heads up, if you want to use widgets for an easy access to an app then don’t use Widgetsmith. Since all the widgets from Widgetsmith come from the Widgetsmith app, if you press on a widget you’ll go to the Widgetsmith app. It’s not a problem because if you want an easy acces for an app just you apple shortcuts. I love this app and you should definitely buy it!! -Millie

Cant get widget smith on iPad when I have the ios14. So basically it won’t let me download the app on my iPad but I have ipados14 already so can you tell what I need to do cuz I’ve seen TikTok a of this app it’s likes incredibly amazing and it would be an honour to download this app

Review. I would like to start off bye saying wow this app is probably the coolest thing I’m addicted to creating different widgets and its cool but there’s one flaw and it’s that after a while the widget go blank now idk if it’s a bug in the app or just my phone but I’ve tried to reload them delete them then deactivate them I’ve tried everything but overall such a cool app that’s you 😜

Grey Blocks. The app itself is great, it’s just that when I downloaded it, everything was fine and I put in widgets, but the next day when I went to keep using the app, all of the widgets I put on my Home Screen were grey blocks. I tried updating the app, deleting and remaking the widgets, but they’re still just grey! It’s quite annoying to try and make your home screen look good with grey blocks where decorative photos are meant to be

Suggestion!. I love this!! Makes customising my Home Screen so much more fun and easy. I was hoping if you could add a transparent feature as a background for the widgets. Especially for the larger widgets it would really work well cause you will still be able to see the wallpaper. Great work on this app. I highly recommend!

Omg I’m obsessed. The app is actually really good it doesn’t restrict you to anything and you can go with whatever theme you like and that’s my favourite part! I love Kpop so I created a blush pink theme around it. It looks really lovely and it’s so cute, my friends give me so many compliments about how cute and or pretty it is. I’m super happy with what the app has turned out to be versus how I thought it was

A suggestion. I really love the customisation of Widgetsmith and that I can get my Home Screen looking awesome. However, I wish it was a bit more practical rather than just for aesthetics. For example, on the calendar, I would love for it to take me to my calendar when I click on the widget. And the clock to my alarms, and so forth. Just like how the standard ones that come with iPhone do.

one suggestion. I honestly love this app, especially the photo album selection but I just have one suggestion to this option? the photos change every 15 minutes or so but I would really love to be able to make that time shorter, like maybe a feature to change how long the pictures last for? Once again, love the app, it’s absolutely amazing, nothing bad to say about it.

Luv it!. This is the best app ever, you can use it to make amazing widgets, there are so many good themes that are free you don’t even have to pay! Are use Shortcuts to change my app icons and widget Smith to add widgets that are the aesthetic that I like! It really makes my phone for a lot more like my phone! You can also use it on tablet/iPad, The only thing which some people won’t like is that when you get the widgets it says widget Smith underneath a widget but I don’t really mind! There’s three different sizes to make your widget, I love this app so much overall I think you should get it!

Nice app & Suggestions. I really like this app! I second the other viewer’s suggestion: introduce the “Photo and text” and “don’t show the word widget smith at the bottom” For me, I don’t think I am going to subscribe the premium plan, but, I won’t mind watching an 1min ad to exchange for some nice, limited time access feature. (The concept is if you want to have that particular feature, let’s say “photo and text”, you gonna have to watch an ad for that feature to be available for one week or so, extend for another 7 days by watching ads!) lol

Great but big issue…. so I got this app about a year ago. Everything went great! The widgets were cute, but one day when I went to get my phone to call my brother, my whole screen started glitching and let it self in my phone and started pressing random apps aka my widgets but I wasn’t touching the screen. So turns out it made me get a bug… so a waist of a money. Maybe try to fix this.? Thanks!

:). I haven’t really gone into the app yet it’s still downloading but I’ve seen the reviews and rating on this app and they seem very good I did see the one that said the app has a bug but I think it’s just there device because all the other ones seem as they have no bug or anything really bad so :) I’ll rate this a 5

Nice app. This app is great on how it helps you with the customization of your iPhone, however it does come with a few bugs or glitches. I have the medium widget on my home screen with a calendar on the right and a clock on the left, the clock’s hands sometimes freeze and stop moving, for instance the time was 11:30 for me but the clock’s hands were on 7:00. I really hope this gets fixed in future updates, hopefully very soon. Thank you for this great app

IOS 14. Since IOS 4 came out this app was so useful to make my background colour coordinated, and just way more organised and more easy to use so overall love this app probably, it could be way more better if you could make all your widgets a little bit more organised so you can probably make groups that you want some widgets to go in there seperate groups.

Glitch. Don’t get me wrong I love this app and I appreciate it it made my Home Screen beautiful! But when it shows up on my home screen on the right side of the widget there’s a white line and it’s triggering my ocd.

Awesome!. Really helpful with making my new iOS 14 update aesthetically pleasing! Awesome download. Would recommend :)

broken. It’s a great app but now all of the widgets have turned blank please fix this please 😥

Fix pls. The app is great overall but the widget & the pictures aren’t even showing anymore it’s all just grey now. Hope y’all fix this soon.

app keeps crashing. it won’t open for me

Practically perfect. I don’t get all the bad reviews? Some said it didn’t work sometimes but I have been working on my iPhone home page for a while and it worked the whole time, I’m sure the devs will slowly make it work and less buggy for other phones (I have iPhone 7) A good update would be being able to upload images to every widget not just a photo one so like a calendar widget with your own photo for the background, over all 4.5 stars. Don’t forget the app because of the bad reviews try it out first! It might not work depending on your phone.

What ever. This app is great but the only thing that need to be fixed is the fact that everytime I try to put a photo for example a small widget, then it gets mixed up with the medium one! Pls fix this, other than that this app is great!

crashes. app crashes anytime i try to open it. i have ios 14 installed but it’s being so annoying and it’s frustrating

Glitch. I cant even open the app it crashes the second I do😐

Doesn’t work. It’s not working

Kept crashing when trying to open. what the title says

first timer. Got the app after the iOS14 update installed itself and brought its functions to my attention; the app becomes easy to use once you get the basics of it, does what I expected so that’s good. Would be nice if you could rename or hide the name ‘widgetsmith’ under the widgets, medium sized ones tend to have a weird white line on the right size of them, being able to crop photos in-app would also be good. Otherwise, it does what you want which is nice

Don’t download this!. I’ve had my phone hacked into because of this app and they tried getting into my bank account and PSN account. I had to reset my phone completely and the hacking problems stopped after I completely wiped my phone clean. Please don’t download this. They will breach your data.

Stopped working after a while. my screen looked great and then my widgets went blank. tried deleting and redownloading :(

DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Do not download this app, it hacks your phone I used to have it but then I saw the other reviews that it hacks your phone so I got concerned and checked the private policy thing and it says it could get your data for example your location, your reminders, your contacts, search history and so much more DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. And if you have it, delete ASAP!!!

Amazing!. Less hassle easy to manoeuvre around and customize ur phone.

Help. For everyone saying all you see is a grey screen after you add it in the app you have to add it again on you home screen to see the photo

app issues. App doesn’t open on my phone at all, really wish it would

Really cool. Really ducking cool

it won’t work. is it just me that can’t even open the app?

Amazing. I love this app my phone looks so good get it right now, I thought it would be hard but it’s so easy to figure out!

Always Crashes. Every time I try to open the app it crashes. I have restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled and still crashes. Using iPhone XR

Crashing problem. It literally will not let me on the app. It keeps on crashing before the screen actually shows. Just shows me a white screen for like three seconds and then crashes. I tried deleting and downloading over and over again but it still wont work.

DONT GET THIS APP. This app will hack into your phone and steal all your data all of my apps including my bank account were compromised after I downloaded this app. I would give this app 0/10... Do not download this app.

doesn’t work. doesn’t work

Stupid. The app will not let me open it.

Lots of bugs need fixing. The picture widgets are blurry and won’t scroll through when an album is selected. Gets stuck on one picture and never changes. Calendar widget won’t sync with iPhone calendar when changes are made to the current day. When widgets are stacked together things stop working, like the google search bar won’t let you search anything or even click on anything. Love the look, but all these bugs are making this impractical to use. Once it’s working properly I will love it. May have to get rid of it for now for my sanity.

NEED HELP😓. It was working for a bit... when I tried adding more pictures to my Lock Screen they keep showing up blank please fix

could use some improvements. This app definitely has the potential to become perfect. it's relatively easy to figure out, but there's a few issues with it. Sometimes the widgets appear as grey blocks and the only way to make them disappear is to delete and redownload the app. also, i can't seem to add more than one widget that's the same size (i.e two small widgets) to my home screen, only one design shows up. i'm excited to see what future updates will hold! :)

PLEASE READ. I downloaded this app but it will not open I have reloaded it a few times it’s the same every time And will not open

Why. Every time I go into the app the screen goes white and kicks me out of. The app

i cant open the app. not letting me even open the app

Meh. The app was working great I made 3 successful widgets and then for some reason I couldn’t make any new ones without the widget just showing up as a grey box..

Pictures. If you have multiple pictures in an album, do they rotate on their own cuz mine doesn’t seem to do so. Other then that this app is great!

Crashing. I can’t load into app:/

It doesn’t work. Every time I open it I get kicked out

Nice, but it doesn't work sometimes.. When I'll try to upload a picture as a widget, all I'll get is a grey screen and it won't appear on the homescreen.

PLEASE READ!!. I got this app to make my phone screen cute but after a while my phone started glitching out so I took it to a shop. They told me it was because this app was taking all my data (without permission). I deleted the app and haven’t had any problems since but reading the reviews you should definitely not get this app!!

Let iOS 15. I can’t get in because I don’t have iOS 14 I have iOS 15 I was so happy when I made my wallpaper because I thought if I would take of all the bugs and get the error over it would work and I found out I can’t still I was in tears when I found out please fix djdndmdn I save noting to say how

Sad. This app used to have some free stuff now u have to pay for everything

Crashes. I know this app is really well but it just keeps crashing whenever I use it, I’m on an iPhone 8

App dont work. I cant even use the app it lags and close rigth away i have the new update too

Mal. Tres tres mauvais il n’y a rien de pire

It’s being annoying. The app keeps shutting me out

Doesnt even open. Everytime i try to open it it just crashes and doesnt do anything

not working !. each time I download the app and I click it it takes me straight back to the home screen each time I’ve restarted my phone twice now and it’s still not working and I’ve deleted n reinstalled the app and it still isn’t working .

Not opening. Is it just me but it doesn’t even open on my phone when I click on it. I have iOS 14 and it’s on my iPhone 7 phone. I tried to update it but it won’t open or even load. It just brings be back to my home screen ☹️☹️☹️☹️

Confusing. The app is very hard to understand and the image doesn’t pop up half the time

Language option. Can there be a language option so I can keep my widget in English? I don’t want my widgets to comply the language with my system

Nice app. Wifi perfectly with iOS 14

Lots of potential. I love this app, it's very simple and straightforward. Of course since Widgets are a new thing for iOS this app isn't going to be 100% amazing off the bat, but with time it could be. One recommendation I have would be to make the categories (small, medium, and large widgets) page in the app less cluttered. It's a hassle to scroll all the way down every time you want to make a new one. Another future update I'd like to see is being able to zoom in/crop pictures within the app instead of having to modify your original picture. And lastly, I think it would be cool to put a photo behind a calendar! The default colors are nice but it would be cool to customize the calendars a bit more.

Color Options. It’s a great app! Unfortunately I do have a complaint, rather small one actually. It would have been two when I was first designing my Home Screen with the whole picture choosing thing, but after reading some reviews it looks like that has been resolved! All I’d like is to be able to change the color of the weather function. As you can probably guess, greens/yellows/oranges are not my current aesthetic. I did pay for the year membership, so I’d like to be able to happily use that one day. Again, it’s a really small complaint. If the color can already be changed, I’m sorry for overlooking and kindly ask where that would be at. 😹 Thank you for reading!

My suggestion. Hello over all I love the app this is not weather I like the app or not it’s a suggestion because I cant seem to find a suggestion bar it the app but I think it would be cool to have a widget where you can have a photo of a certain day of the month like if my friends birthday is on April 4 that a picture of my friend would be on that widget and if it’s my other friends birthday on October 6 then it would be their picture then have a default photo fir when it’s not someone’s birthday. If this cannot be done then that’s fine it’s just a suggestion but still I love this app💜💜💜

What I think. I love widgetsmith! it is super fun and makes my screen really nice. there are a few problems though. 1. i don’t know if i’m the only one experiencing this, but lately the app has been. really. really. realllly. slow. not always or with every feature, but whenever i try to make a custom design or theme, it suddenly gets really slow and takes forever to load my click. i don’t know why, it might just be that i have an iphone 6s so it’s outdated, but who knows. 2. “widgetsmith premium” like, what?!? what if i want a weather widget without paying money?! seriously? that’s just a smidge to far in my opinion. but besides that, i think the app is a great help and i love it! 😃😃😃

Really good, could be better.. I really love this app! The customization options really are endless, however, there are a few really really small things that could make this app better. On the step counters, sometimes they won’t update, and you have to physically press the widget for it to update to the correct amount of steps. My second minor inconvenience is with the calendar widgets. I use my calendar for pretty much everything, and the widgetsmith widget is very useful, except it doesn’t show all day events at all. Again, these are very minor issues, and i would still recommend the app 100%, but it would be awesome for them to be fixed.

One feature I’d really appreciate!!!. I love this app, it does exactly what it needs to do with little fuss. I’m not even peeved about the Widgetsmith text thing cuz honestly by now I’m used to it lol, anyways one thing I enjoy is keeping my online presence and phone super organized, so in the menu where you make widgets if we could hold and drag them around kind of like pins on a pinterest board or apps on a phone it’d help me to keep track of what widgets I’ve already made and what types (pictures, text quotes, etc.) that or like categories? But the dragging and dropping around is preferred. This is just a pet peeve though

Just One Problem. This app is great and easy to use. But there is one problem I keep having. There is a new trend going around where you customize your home screen using widgets and app icons. You put your favorite tv show, or movie characters, or anything you want you basically make it yours. But say im trying to have a black wallpaper in the background and my widget also happens to have a black background. Every time I try to put the widget down it works but there is a little white line on the right of the widget that to me is very distracting if your trying to make a cool design using all black. Its an easy bug fix thats really frustrating and should be looked at. I even try to crop the photo several times which does absolutely nothing.

Extremely Frustrated. I downloaded this app thinking it was going to be great but I have been highly disappointed. First off, since downloading the app, my phone has done nothing but glitch out. The second day after downloading it, the app would not open for me when I clicked on it. It also would not remove it from my Home Screen no matter how many times I tried. Every other app I could remove and get into just fine. Second, my phone keeps glitching out so can’t use it, the pull down bar won’t let me open notifications, and my power off buttons won’t pull up the slide to turn it off so I keep having to go to setting to restart. Third, even when I set the date and time widget to something I like, when I come back it’s changed to something else. Overall I’m extremely frustrated, I still cannot delete it off my phone.

Glitch. This app is amazing for customizing your widgets. It even had the feature where you can upload photos onto them which I personally love, the only issue I am having with it is that it glitches. Whether it’s the fact that you’ve been on the app for to long or if you just have to MANY widgets it tends to exit you out of the app suddenly. Right now I’m having the issue where it’s not even letting me edit small widgets. When I press to do so it lags and exits the app. I am writing this is hopes to get it fixed because I genuinely do love the app but the bugs are truly annoying.

Great so far. So the app works fine, I just have a personal gripe: - Instead of just having a couple colors to pick from, can we have a color wheel type of thing? It would be much easier to create widgets that match what people want for their home screen. In terms of other problems, like people’s widgets turning out grey or not the one they want to be displayed, I would suggest looking up a tutorial on how to use the app because that seems to be the root of most people’s problems. Also I’m glad that the single photo feature was just added! Hope to see some great things in the future ^_^

Love the app but little issue. I would give this app 5/5 stars, though there is a small issue I have. Not with the app but when you show the wanted images on your screen, there is a little text under it that says “Widgetsmith”. Now idk about anyone else’s by my home screen theme revolves around “undertale” which is a game entirely of pixels and every time I look at my Home Screen- it bothers me that the text is just out of place from the entire theme I’m going with. I know some other people who also don’t like the fact that the text is always there. Could there be at least a option to not have the Widgetsmith text there or just certain colors so whenever someone doesn’t want it- they can change it to a similar color that matches?

Works but not always. So I got this app when iOS 14 came out and it was very easy to use, was able to customize everything how I liked it. Loved that the new update came with more colors and ability to choose a single image rather than an album. However, a few days in, some of the widgets stopped updating the time and the calendar doesn’t update the day. At first I would restart my phone and it would update, but now even that stopped working. I tried removing the widget from my screen and putting it back but it just shows up like a gray square. Now I can’t add any new widgets at all, they all show up as gray squares. The picture ones and reminders still work and I’m scared to touch them so they also don’t turn into grey squares. I don’t know if it’s just a glitch for me or not, but please fix this.

pretty good. this is one of the few apps where you can actually do a lot on it without having to pay — a few things you can’t do without paying like put weather stuff on there (but there’s a weather app widget for any apple phone) and tides (i live in inland texas so i’m not terribly worried about that 😂) so overall it’s pretty good. it is a little hard to figure out how to use at first, but once you get used to it, it’s really efficient. one of the only minor things i would change is that in order to put a picture in with a certain size (like putting a logo or smth) in a picture widget, you have to edit the size of the actual picture to get it to work correctly. like if you just put in a function where you could zoom in to resize in the widgetsmith app, it would be a lot faster. tl;dr i really only put this as a four-star app because 1) i don’t like giving five stars ever lol 2) the picture thing and 3) i just don’t like payed apps (though, yes, i know that companies have to support themselves). other than those three facts, i’m very satisfied and would give it a five-star recommendation.

I hope to see more growth!. I’ve enjoyed seeing my home screen transform into the aesthetic of my dreams with the help of this app! My favorite aspect has to be having a visual of the moon phases and being able to place photos of any size all over my screen. Incredible. However, and that’s just a medium sized however, I’m not sure if my $20 yearly membership is justified. For reference, the app Facetune yearly is about double and does a hecc lot more. For that reason, I took off a star but I understand they’re still in development so I’m expecting greatness to come! Note to the developers: for the large temperature widget, the color is this b l i n d i n g neon yellow that wildly shakes off my phone’s warm neutrals and earth tones so color customization options would be helpful there, thanks 🖤

Whyyyyyy. So everyone is downloading this app and making their phones look so good. So I downloaded it and it froze my phone completely I had to force restart it. My friend who are using it are loving it, it’s working perfect for them. I realized that my phone wasn’t charging while on charge when I had the app and I didn’t think anything of it, I had like 6 maybe 7 widgets made and my phone froze I couldn’t click on anything. I force restarted it, and I thought maybe I had to many widgets. So ire downloaded it and used two or three widgets it did the same thing. It stopped charging so I deleted the app and the widgets before my phone froze. Then I seen someone have 16 widgets and their phone work fine. I’m so confused I want to use this app so bad but it just won’t work on my phone. I have a new iPhone 11, I’ve only had this phone for 2 months, so I don’t see why it’s not working. Can someone pls help me!!

Really bad... So the new update came out and I love customization especially with apple and when I saw the widgets it looked super cool so I decided to do it...after wasting about 4-5 hours of my day just getting the app to work properly and set the pictures I have chosen sometimes it doesn’t even do it and all the Apple support things to help you be able to have a better chance at getting things to work has just not worked..nothing works properly on this app and I’d say to not download and try this until it is at least 2-3 years down the line of being fully developed instead of what I feel like is a tester to see how things work I’m on the second day now and I am writing this review already after 3 hours of trying again it is just straight up disappointing and pointless to have for the iPhone.

Good app but still needs a few things. I love that you can customize things but, I don’t like that when you click on the widget it takes you back to the app. For example, I use my calendar often and put my reminders in it. When I add my widget, if I click on it, it doesn’t take me to my calendar on my iPhone it takes me back to Widgetsmith to edit or add widgets. Not useful to me, I need to see my reminders for future weeks not just that day. Also, wish they had more fonts. I do love the the photos switch every minute. Thank you for that. And the default colors in the settings should be the same for all, the custom colors wasn’t working either. Didn’t give me the option to pick a custom color.

Great app, great features but some suggestions. This is a great app. I love all the choices you get and the options you can use to customize them. I also like the timed widgets because I thought that the smart rotate feature on Apple’s Smart Stack was exactly what a timed widget is on this app. A few suggestions tho.... Possibly a few more widgets? Some recommendations might be: A stocks widget, if your into that kinda thing :) Maybe a countdown widget to a specific date/time? I’m out of ideas, I will make a new review if I come up with more widget ideas. Timed widgets: Selecting times not just on the hour, but the minute would be amazing (ex: a calendar widget that appears on 2:15 AM and changes at 1:26 PM) The ability to set different days of the week where some actions won’t run (ex: turning off the calendar widget from the last suggestion off on the weekends, but keeping every other automatic timed widget working during the weekends) That’s all I got, great app, but a few suggestions. If I think of more suggestions I will make a review under the same nickname tml_101!

Amazing app. placement is off. I would like to start off with I really like the app. its truly great for customizing your home screen and for making it aesthetically pleasing. Great fonts and colors, also love how in customization you can choose your pictures with or without words (like either whatever you want or the date and time stuff like that) like you can also just type whatever you want and still make it aesthetic. The guy only small little problem is that sometimes (usually with the medium size for me) a little bit of the widget is cut off. like if cuts off the border at the bottom. it kinda looks like if you just moved the image or whatever down a little

Amazing app but in-app purchases….. Hello! I’ve had this app on my phone for over a year, it works perfectly and is amazing. But I would love it if I could actually have the weather on one of my photos as a widget. Why can’t I you may ask? I don’t really feel like paying a monthly fee for an app, I much prefer just paying one time for a full version. I am BEGGING you to just make a full version of the app WITHOUT paying monthly. I will pay 3-10$ for the whole app but as a college student paying monthly is something I cannot do. I adore this app and would really like to be able to use all the features with a one time purchase, that is my only problem, otherwise this app works like a charm. Keep up the awesome work! Sincerely a long time Widgetsmith fan/user

Love the app just one problem. I absolutely love this app. I love being able to customize everything to my liking, but today I believe it was after I updated the app my widgets went grey with lines through them and I’ve tried everything to fix it but nothing working. I am a little upset about that because now my Home Screen just doesn’t make sense, I just figure this is a minor bug and will be fixed soon, I know a lot others are having this similar issue and so far I don’t know anyone who’s fixed it. Please I know not only myself but everyone experiencing this issue would love for the problem to be solved very soon.

It works very well, but to a certain limit. For me, I was able to get most of everything I wanted for my cute aesthetic IOS14 background. Whenever I would want to add more or I added it and I didn’t quite like how it was those times, it would either appear gray or black. The weird thing is is that when I am able to edit the widget, I am able to get the ones I previously did but not the brand new one I made. I redownloaded it and restarted my phone and it stayed the same when I wanted to add a new one. I would suggest getting an update soon fixing this problem, so we can add more than we want and it being able to work and an easier efficient way to get what we want for the widget

Great Idea ( I Think ? ). Ok I downloaded this app after seeing it on the Apple iOS App Store Today Home page . Seems like a great concept ... could possibly use some more features . I just don't like the subscription feature ... I don't like paying for app subscriptions and I try to avoid them at all costs . I feel like with iOS 14 introducing widgets to the system ... something like this app should have been included with iOS 14 and not a paid app from a third party developer . I think my review is more of a criticism of Apple than this app or developer . Hope the developer continues refining this app and possibly offers it for sale at a one time price point rather than subscription . I would guess Apple will be acquiring this developer or app and integrating it into iOS 14 in the future so I am not paying for it right now .

I really like the app but there are some things I need to talk about.... I love the app and it works really well. But I’m always having problems with two widgets which if I add them to my Home Screen are gray. I have tried everything that I could think of, I turned of my phone, I deleted and re-added the widget, I just tried to see if my widgets in general work (they did), I tried it with a different picture, I tried just letting my phone sit to see if they would load. But nothing worked! I don’t know what to do!?! I also had this problem before and I fixed it by just turning of my phone but that won’t work. The app is still really great and it worked for all my other widgets but now just for those two it won’t work:(

Not great. This app has great potential, but fails at execution. First of all- there needs to be a way to get the “WIDGETSMITH” writing under each widget. Obviously if I care enough to design all these custom options to make my phone a certain way... I DONT want your name on each screen 3x. That alone is why I’ll be deleting the app until there’s a solution. Second- the timed widget feature does not work. I have a timed widget set to be a calendar during specific hours, and then the star field during the remaining night time hours. Well- the star field never works. It never comes on. I’ve tried deleting the widget countless times and starting fresh, restarting my phone, nothing works. I even went to the widget to edit which one was viewable, and selected star field manually- and it still didn’t work. All I see is calendar.

Just a few ideas. I just downloaded this app which was recommended by a YouTuber named Zollotech. I do love the app and the customization ability that it has. But if i may suggest adding the ability to make the widgets translucent. Apple’s running themes seem to be very translucent which i do love. But if these beautiful custom widgets from Widgetsmith made that an option that would be great. And it doesn’t have to be like apple’s dark and light themes but maybe a translucent color? And now that i think about it. What about widgets that can change from light to dark themes? Like i said these are recommendations that i think would make an already great app even greater.

Good but,,,. I love this app! my widgets are super cute and i love how cute my phone looks now. I decided to buy the full version for a year because it was pretty cheap per month and i wanted the weather and moon phase widget. However i was really disappointed that i couldnt customize the colors of the weather forecast widget. The grey theme works OK but i’d love it even more if we could customize this like how we can customize the others. Even the moon phase widget would be cool to customize if we could pick a background color. I also would love if the battery icon widget showed the % but that’s not a huge change. I didn’t have a problem with the pictures at all like other people said. Overall i’m satisfied but i feel like i’d be even more happy if they added these quick fixes

Flaws but so much potential to become better!! Love it but here are some of my annoyances. When I first got widget, when I wanted to add a widget it the screen turned gray. I had to google the problem and turns out I had to delete the app and redownload it in order to get the new upgrades. New upgrades are awesome but now all my widget won’t open and the photo quality/ quality on all the widgets are pixelated and not clear like when I just put them in. I don’t want to have to always have to delete the app and redownload it in order to have to update the app. So my complaints are the pixelated quality on the widgets and having to delete the app and re download it in order to get an updated version. Other than that the app is super great with just these little annoying factors

Glitch. Don’t get me wrong, this app is amazing and so great to use for customizing your phone and/or IPad. But there’s a lot of glitches that could be fixed. There’s a glitch where when you have only one large widget(this happens for any size) and you try to add it, it will put a default widget instead. This was really frustrating since I couldn’t add the widget. There was also this thing where I couldn’t add another small widget because it kept adding the one I made before. This was also really frustrating. Besides that, the app is great and I 10/10 recommend. This was just to state some glitches I experienced. Thanks for reading!

Love it but I’ve been having problems. Overall I love this app! It makes my screen look so cool. I like how in the new update you can choose your own photos instead of having to use a album. Before I updated the app some of my widgets started to turn gray and when I put a photo in it wouldn’t show up. I did some research and then realized I should update the app. I updated the app with hopes that my widgets would show. But my photos didn’t show up. The widgets went from grey to black. I’m not sure if this is just a problem that I’m having with my phone or it’s a overall problem. I’ve tried restarting my phone but that didn’t work. I’m planning on redownloading the app but I’m not sure if the apps will save my widgets.

A wonderful app that gets the job done, but has a few hiccups.. I appreciate this app and how many options it gives me, as well as making it doable and easy. Unfortunately however, I ran into 2 problems. One minor problem is that the name “Widgetsmith” is under each widget. I understand that the company wants their name out there but I would greatly appreciate it if that could go away. A bigger issue I have though is how my widgets will sometimes disappear for no reason. What I mean by this, is that a specific picture in my widget out of the 10 will be gone and it’ll just show the image icon. I never deleted the photo, nor the album, nor the actual widget in the app. I believe this is a glitch unfortunately and I hope it gets fixed soon.

It’s really dumb that you have to pay for weather. Overall it helps you make a few cute widgets but you have to pay $24 dollars a year JUST to have the weather widget which is honestly crazy when it’s an apple app. Its not like they even have to do anything for the weather. Honestly its pretty upsetting. If it was like $2 dollars to buy a weather widget that would be okay but no.. again... TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS A YEAR. It’s excessive!! You also cant change the name of the widget to “Calendar” or “clock” it will always say “Widgetsmith”. If you want a few simple cute widgets then i guess its okay but just remember there are limits and it has an excessive price. Oh and there aren’t even a lot of options for background colors, the only “aesthetic” one is the pastel pink but all the other ones are bright and extra

Great!. i don’t usually write reviews, BUT THIS APP!!!! OMG okay so i downloaded it when widgets first became a thing. at first i was super confused on how it worked but eventually i figured it out. let me just say, this app is amazing. some stuff yes you have to pay for but it’s not like the basic kinda stuff. i just overall love this app!!! a little note to the developers, you should add widgets where you can click on it and it brings you to a different little page on your phone with a different home screen or like an app or something ( make that free please 😭🥱😭) anyways yeah i love the app and it’s amazing def get it❤️❤️

Room for improvement. Would be nice to have the option to remove the Widgetsmith label at the bottom of the widget($) for a cleaner look on screen. It would also be nice to be able to align any of the date and time texts to however you would like for it to be aligned instead of limiting the options of moving it in fixed predetermined positions only. It would also be nice to have a middle and centered stacked option for time, day, and date available and be able to resize the texts of those. The thing you guys should be charging for is to include temperature with that. I think this developers app is missing the mark where custom functionality meets custom luxury. So there is room for improvement. Hopefully you read these reviews.

Amazing until a few days ago when a bug showed up. This app was amazing and worked pretty much flawlessly, except for some little things that have already been mentioned in the comments. But, yesterday, when I opened my phone I noticed that all the custom text on those specific widgets has been enlarged, so instead of having one word in the center, half of the word is in the center and the other half is a row beneath, or, the word is in the bottom row. This has been a problem for me since it ruins the aesthetic I used to have on my phone and I have many custom text widgets. I really hope this will be fixed soon because this has been my only serious problem with the app.

Improvements. Love this app and how it made my home screen super beautiful and aesthetic. However, I noticed that they turn invisible at random times and it happens everyday. So the first improvement I suggest is to program the widgets to stay idle and shown once placed. Another improvement would be to hide the text underneath the widgets. I know they’re to show the app and what the app is called, however it ruins the aesthetic sometimes even if you sometimes just don’t notice it. If you add these two improvements, I believe this app would become super popular! You don’t have to take my advice but I would deeply appreciate it and so will others! Thank you for creating this app!

Very responsive developer! Great new features. I got this app when ios14 had just came out. Like other reviews said, it had some bugs and things that were not very intuitive. But when I was showing my boyfriend the app this week, I found that there was an update that fixed lots of common frustrations (you can now choose a photo instead of a photo album, custom colors for widgets, etc.). I’m pleasantly surprised that these changes were made so quickly and I’m looking forward to future updates. Thank you for listening to the reviews, I really appreciate it!! P.S. is it possible to remove “Widgetsmith” from under the widget in the home menu? Maybe replace it with some spaces? If that’s an ios14 problem, I totally get it though!

Works perfectly but a few annoyances. I use this app for custom photos on my widgets, and it works perfectly. There’s no limit to the number of widgets I can make, and I can also create widget stacks with my photos. However, one thing that constantly annoys me is that if you want to use a specific photo, you have to create a whole new album in your photos app to use it, since Widgetsmith doesn’t have the option to select a specific photo, only a specific album. It would be really great to be able to select specific photos. I also love the other widget options, such as the sunset and stars widgets, but it would be even better if there was more customization involved. For example, you’re limited to certain colors for the widgets, and for the blank widget option, it would be cool to be able to add your own text if wanted. Otherwise, this is one of the best widget apps out there, and there’s so much you can do!! Update: they added new features!!!! Thank you so much this app has been a lifechanger

Amazing! (But some suggestions). Hi! First of all, this app is so amazing!!! I love that we are able to have aesthetic home screens now. :) I have some suggestions. I don’t if this is a feature already, but can you allow videos for widgets? It would be cool to have a feature where if you hold on a widget, it plays like a boomerang, or something like that. Maybe you can allow 15 second videos in widgets? And they can repeat? Or include provided video widgets in your app that have looped videos of aesthetic things? I just think that that would be a cool option. I also know that you can’t remove the widgetsmith label underneath the widget because Apple requires it... hopefully they change this for widgets, but once they do, can you change this? Lastly, I was hoping that you can connect the calendar widget with a calendar app (specifically the one provided by Apple.) when I click on widgets, it just takes me back to the widget app, but is there a way where you can include a link between widgets and apps? Like how the shortcuts app makes shortcuts of custom apps? Other than that, I think that this is an amazing app. I love how aesthetic my app looks! Thank you!

Love it!. I had some issues a few days ago with my widgets turning grey, but I redownloaded the app with the new update and it works great! I really only use it to add photos to my Home Screen, so I love that I can now pick a single photo to add rather than having to select an album. I also appreciate how the dev has been so vocal about the fact that he acknowledges the bugs and is working hard to fix them. This app really blew up quickly and everything is so new so the bugs are bound to happen, but one of the main reasons I didn’t give up on this app was because I saw his status updates; I’m so glad I gave it a second chance!

Not Very Intuitive. I downloaded Widgetsmith because I tried out the beta test for Widgeridoo, only to find out you can only create one widget in it before they wanted you to get the Pro version. I wanted to use Widgetsmith to create photo widgets on my homepage, but the problem I had was it didn’t let me choose an individual picture to display; it only let me choose one of my phone’s albums like the normal Photo widget that came with iOS 14, and it would cycle through all of the photos in the album. I tried to give Widgetsmith access to only certain photos, but when I did that it just cycled through the few photos I gave it access to. So, in order to get around this, I had to make individual albums on my phone for each photo. The app is okay otherwise and has some great customization features, but the Photo widgets didn’t work as I expected it to.

Great App!. I personally love having widgets on my screen to fit my aesthetic, and widgetsmith is definitely one of my favorites. It works great for me, and I haven't had a problem with it at all. I do have a few suggestions of things I would love to have included with this app. For example, an option for photos on the time widgets, more shades of colors to pick easily (the custom color thing is tricky), transparent widgets, and (if it's possible) have a way to remove the word under the widget. It would fit better with people's aesthetic, and just have the screen appear more clear and organized. This app is super simple, and I would definitely recommend it to people!

Amazing app!! just a tiny issue with custom colors though. Get the app it’s so worth it, it has so many options even if you don’t have premium!!! The only problem I had was with the custom color selector, it’s hard to choose a specific color to match your wallpaper unless it’s the same color as one of the preset colors, and if you have a certain kind of gray then it’s impossible. The app would be SO much better if the custom selector had the option of entering RGB values, a hex number, or even just a wheel that you can adjust the brightness of! If you don’t plan to match your wallpaper, or if your wallpaper is just a basic black or white or other common color, definitely get the app, for those who don’t, wait until it gets updated.

Wonderful app, could be amazing!. I have given Widgetsmith 4/5 stars for a few reasons. I love the functionality (especially as a paid user) to customize the widgets color, font, and content. After only a couple of weeks, more fonts have been added and I really hope new features and updates continue to roll out quickly. I do have a few suggestions for improvement: 1) Add more slots for custom colors to tint, background and border 2) Allow a photo to be set at the background for content widgets, rather than just a solid color (also, a color gradient and/or texture option would be awesome, too!) 3) There are a few widgets where a tiny/background color cannot be selected, such as moon phases or activity rings for Apple Watch users - this option would be cool 4) Support for apple news widget/rss feeds would also be a great feature Overall, I feel the money spent on paid features is worth it and this app has great functionality! I can easily see it being in a league of its own with the addition of some of the features I suggested above! Love this app!!

Amazing App, Minor Issues. The app is amazing for customizing my home screen to my preferred aesthetic. They only thing the app lacks is more color swatches overall and a better system to select photos. The colors they already have are good but they are generally are deeper colors. It causes problems because the background, border, and font colors clash very often due to the limited choices. One of the great things about this app is adding your own photos to the home screen. However doing so proves difficult because it selects a photo at random from your photo album. Being able to tap into the photo album and select the picture yourself would be so much better. But the app is still amazing and the two issues seem easy to fix!!

Great app - easy to use!. I was able to learn quickly with widgets using this app and playing around it. I like having the options of the different sizes of the widgets, different fonts, different colors, and my own custom text and photos. Something I would like to be on this app is more fonts (maybe the ones like on Word or Google Docs). I would like more color collection (more shades of the main colors such as red, blue, purple, yellow, pink, etc). One last thing I would LOVE is being able to change what the widget says. Instead of all my widgets from this app saying “Widgetsmith”, I think a cool custom text would be nice :)

Worked great AT FIRST, but then.... I downloaded iOS 14 because I noticed everybody having widgets in their home screens and I thought it was the coolest thing! The set up itself was a bit difficult but the end result made it all worth it. I hadn’t touched anything with my widgets and now all of a sudden the widgets on my home screen are gray. I’ve looked up everything on how to fix it, and even restarted my phone but nothing was working. I’m debating on whether or not to delete the app and just start from scratch but I really don’t want to do that and shouldn’t have to. If you guys could fix this problem, and maybe add features to where we can actually select photos to be on our widget instead of having to create new albums just for the photos we want on the widget, this would greatly be appreciated!

Only medium sized widget with a multi day forecast widget I can find. My kid loves Widgetsmith because they are on TikTok and uses it to make their iPhone screens look really cool. I finally checked it out too and paid the subscription fee because it’s the only app that I could find that has a medium-sized widget that displays a multi day forecast. I don’t give a hoot about an hour by hour forecast. I don’t understand why all the weather widgets only offer that forecast for medium sized widgets. I also don’t want to devote an entire large widget to the weather. Also, as a photographer and a person who lives right by the beach, I use the high/low tide and sunset/sunrise widgets a lot. Thanks for this handy tool!

Cool idea but it’s glitching. 1. Everything goes well until I try to add the widget to my Home Screen. When I add a widget and even when I press “edit widget” and select the widget I want, it’s just grayed out. It used to work but it just stopped working and the picture doesn’t show up. I’ve restarted my phone multiple times and everything. What do I do?? 2. And for everyone who is mad that it chooses a random photo from the album, what you need to do is go into the photos app and press “add to album” and then create a new album and label it the description of the photo. For each pic u want on a widget, make a new album and name it. Hope that helped! 3. So yeah, if whoever made this app sees this, can you either fix the grayed out bug or tell me what I can do to fix it myself (because other people don’t seem to be having this problem)
