Clear Spaces 4+

This app does exactly what it says on the tin. The background lines up perfectly for me. The widget customization options are few and fairly simple. It would be cool to have more variety to choose from, but I downloaded this app called “clear spaces” for the clear spaces, and those are solid.

The export widget background feature is great if you wanna use other custom widget apps, though having to save each individual widget background to your phone then opening a new app and uploading these individually is a chore. But that’s not the app’s fault, it’s Apple’s and their archaic widget programming which makes all widgets essentially useless anyway.

One last thing: the custom text feature only lets me type in one message into the app, which then repeats itself across all custom text widgets instead of letting me choose a different message for each individual widget. This is so hilariously useless and should be corrected.

All I can say is WOW!! I have used this app for quite some time and it works beautifully! I customize my Home Screen and Focus mode options and this app is used heavily to make transparent spaces. They also have the ability to set multiple spaces which are easily changed for different Focus modes! I noticed that in iOS 17, the app wasn’t working the way it should. The “Default” text screen viewing option in iOS Settings was working, but not the “Larger Text” option in the Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom > Larger Text. I really love the “Larger Text” option for my phone. I reached out to the developer on X (formerly twitter) and they responded so quickly and we went back and forth. Very personable company, customer service appears to be a focus! It means a lot when a company truly listens to their customers and audience, this is not generally the case anymore, it’s rare to find. Everything was fixed in a matter of hours!! An update came to the App Store just like they said in a matter of 30 minutes! Thank you so much Clear Spaces for all you do and for how personal you are! My iPhone is great, but a personalized iPhone is 100 times better!! If you do any customizations for your device… DOWNLOAD… this app is awesome!!!

Was 5stars if not more. Today there was an update for customization, now all the widgets have the “cs” logo on the Home Screen. Please remove this again! Love your app. Maybe different calendars? Like a 30 day month calendar, just a suggestion.

If you need a character to be invisible for the widget name, use this Unicode “space” icon. Copy the “space” between the brackets [⠀]. It looks like a space mark, but it is an invisible character. I use it for my folder names. Another suggestion.

But for those interested: This is the best and easiest app, BY FAR, to create transparent widgets. Once they remove the widget name again - oh my, you’ll be in love. Worth it, one of best new apps.
