Many laud the new iOS 16 Lock Screen custom design tools as a great advantage — and isn’t it fun!. Unfortunately, not all widget wizardry apps are iOS 16 compatible.Enter WidgetPro, a FREE widget design tool, with a somewhat limited, but well-designed selection of widgets. FREE is emphasized, as some widget creation and/or design apps cost as much as $89/year (or $9.99/month)! That’s ridiculous on many levels. You might think the, “Not Ready for Prime Time,” WidgetPro is still a great investment for fancying up those Home Page widgets. It’s a fair thought, as other paid versions ate promising that, while an iOS 16 update is just around the corner, the amazing, gorgeous and costly existing widgets and other features are still yours to use on your Home Screen. Why would Widget Pro be any different? Hint One: It’s freeHint Two: The last update from version 1.0 to version 1.0.2 was over a year ago The only things included in said update were two, maybe three, widgets.Can you use the available WidgetPro widgets on iOS 16? As it says in the title. The developers had their fun, but now they’re done. Okay, I did get it to function marginally, but after a few freezes, the inconsistent ability to install widgets that remain after a restart, and frequently seeing a compatibility error code, I can assure you that WidgetPro in no mo’Enjoy the widgets that are included. Maybe a few third party fitness widgets are cool, but sticking with what you have saves you from downtime.

I guess if you’re paying $89.99/month for “pretty,” then it is likely the widget design developer will be prepared with an update shortly after the iOS upgrade has been released into the wild.Bling ain’t cheap, broWidgetPro’s gotta go!Two stars. To be fair, when it worked, the price was right, and all was swell. No stars for the 16.0 version, because there isn’t one. See you, around!. *All typos and grammar errors are intentionally included for your amusement.
