Love the idea

Seems like you guys are the few people that had this ingenious idea. It would be nice if we had the ability to scroll down the page or custom views that automatically change. RSS feed widgets for blogs would be really cool as well if that’s possible.

Really really unhappy with the performance of this widget. Once I set it up, invariably, within 24 hours, the website literally just disappears and the widget says I have to pick a URL. When it is being set up, the small window size set up does not match up with what I’ve set after I go back and save it. I have to scroll the square window around to some other area to have it actually show what I want on the final home screen. Been playing with this now for more than two weeks on a daily basis. It never works right for longer than a few hours or a day if I could even get it set up to look like what I want onscreen

A day after I posted about the rendering the update has been released and now it works with data studio. This app is great. Still be nice to have a 4 icon widget but I’m sure that will come. Sent my donation in as soon as I saw the update worked! One think I noticed is the zoom works in the setup but not on the widget display but that could be due to how data studio adjusts the display size for the browser. I will test more and update. Thank you for the fix! Made all the difference.One more thing should fix your in app email settings so it doesn’t limit you to the mail app. I don’t even have the mail app installed so when I click to send email it does nothing as I use the gmail app.

AWESOME! This is exactly what I needed. I travel a lot and needed a widget to show me various time zones at a “glimpse.” Like some have stated in their reviews, I would like to be able to resize/crop the widget area if possible in a future update. Keep up the great work, I donated and will continue to support your work. 💯
