Handy - Live Widget Wallpaper 4+

This app is really great! It’s overall pretty simple, and you get an adorable Home Screen. The one thing I was scared about while downloading this, is if it was like some of the other apps that want you to pay for literally everything. But no! This app does have some things you need to pay for, but you don’t need to buy anything to use this. What I did was make my own app icons and then link them, and it worked great. It did take longer than just purchasing one of the bundles that already have the icons made and linked for you, but it was completely free! One thing, is that when you press on the app icon, it takes you to the handy app and then to the app you linked. It’s not really a big deal, but it looks a little weird and like something’s glitching because it takes you to a different app and then to the one you pressed. Other than that, it looks really cute, and you don’t need money to use this and customize your Home Screen. Definitely recommend (p.s. Pinterest has some great app icons, so I recommend looking there for all your icons, if you choose to make them instead of buy a pack!

App is really useful, and much faster than using shortcuts app to make app icons. There are some things I don't like about it though. Like a lot of other reviews on here said, you have to be over 13 to actually use this, as apple sign in won't work otherwise. A sign in option other than using apple idea would be helpful. A lot of stuff isn't actually free, either, like how you have to pay for a premium service to get certain things and a lot of stuff costs money, even with premium. The main problem I have with though is when you open up an app, it first takes you to a blank page with the app's picture and name, then that takes you to the app you opened. It kind of gets annoying having to close both out and being redirected every time I open an app. Other than that though, the app is very useful for decorating you're phone, and I recommend it.

The themes are cute and the app does work in terms of redesigning your phone theme for you, but the subscription ad that pops up on every other attempt to open an app is irritating enough to make me want to get rid of this app entirely. And the delay after redirecting to the shortcuts app, then to the subscription ad, then to the app you wanted to open gets old reaaaal fast especially when/if you’re trying to make an emergency text or call.

I’m pretty sure the ad is meant to annoy you into submission so that you pay for them to stop blocking apps randomly with the useless ad before you can open it. I would consider buying the subscription just because it is THAT tiresome to deal with, but even then, it’s overpriced for what it is and I don’t want to pay an app company that tries to aggravate customers into paying for the company to stop annoying them.

I can deal with not having full features or access to fancy widgets, themes, etc since they have to make money somehow, but for the love of god just GET RID OF THAT PERSISTENT AD. Going to start looking into other apps to replace this one soon.
