Smart Photo Widget is the best photo widget on the App Store, and the last one you'll ever need. It uses advanced AI to do all of your work for you, making it the simplest, easiest to use photo widget app out there. There are two types of results you'll get from all of the other photo widget apps: 1. You end up with poorly framed photos with your loved one's head missing. 2. You have to painstakingly choose and crop each photo to make sure it displays properly in each widget size. Using Smart Photo Widget, simply choose a photo folder and install the widget and you're done. Smart Photo Widget's advanced AI does all of the work for you: 1. Properly frames each photo in every widget size automatically! 2. Options to skip bad photos (blurry, too dark, screenshots, etc.). 3. Rotates the best photos throughout the day. 4. Optionally add handy overlays like current weekday/date/time or show the photo's date and location. 5. Apply photo effects/filters to make your photos pop (Smart Photo Premium required). 6. Optionally add picture frames for some whimsy in your widgets. Give Smart Photo Widget a try and see that it really is the easiest to use photo widget app on the App Store by far. Smart Photo Widget is free to download and use. Within the app you can purchase Smart Photo Premium which allows you to have unlimited photo collections and adds features like photo effects. If you purchase a Premium subscription, it will be applied to your iTunes account at the end of the free trial. Subscriptions will automatically renew unless canceled within 24-hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime within your iTunes account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial will be forfeited if you purchase a subscription.

Mostly great but needs updating for iOS 26

This app allowed me to make an album containing my entire photo library and then randomly change the photo in the widget, which is exactly what I was looking for. I also use Widgetsmith for this purpose but I wanted 2 different randomly selected photo widgets on my home screen. I tried many different photo widget apps and this is the only one that did what I wanted it to. I would have given this five stars except they have not updated it for iOS 26. When using the clear setting, the photos do not come in in color. I am forced to use a solid setting if I do not want my photos to be black and white. Widget Smith has solved this problem and those photos are still in full color. I hope this App is planning to fix this problem.

I've checked out a bunch of different photo widgets and I have to say that I have finally found my favorite one. Most other photo widget apps make you pick each photo one by one which can take a lot of time which I don't have. There are other photo widgets that allow you to choose an album, but then the results are bad. I like to use the wide widget size and so many times I end up with a photo of someone's torso instead of their face.This photo widget, however, let's you choose an album and then just gives great results. I have it set up to show my favorites album and I love seeing old photos show up that I forgot about. I love to see my friend's smiling faces and not their torsos! And if you just have one widget, the app is free. That is a bargain. But I loved the app so much I made the purchase anyway to show my thanks.

When I tap the widget to look at the image all I get is a spinning wheel and the image never appears.Works ok as a random photo widget, however.

Developer Response
Thanks for the report. This can happen if the full photo isn't present on the device and must be downloaded from your iCloud Library. If you have a poor internet connection, it can spin for a long time, but should complete eventually once the photo is downloaded. Hope this helps.

Beware Photos locked to Photos App

This is only one of two photo apps the currently work well and it forces the user to get there photos from the Apple Photos App, with no option to get images from other imporant places like (1) the Finder (2) iCloud Drive ... etc there should be options for this. this app is useless to me without this functionality. I give each developer that beneift of the doubt to address these issue but if not done within the refund pocliy time limit i will have to refund the app just not worth it.
