Widgetsmith 4+

Artwork and theme

I really like this app, the option to customize your own widget is great. And with the new aesthetics and artwork, it makes my home screen look even better. I would recommend thought to have a way to where people can make their own aesthetic theme and have a way to share it with everyone else using the app. Also if there would be a way for users to create their own artwork, so there can be a way for people to share their creativity, and also nail the aesthetic on their Home Screen just how they want it. I think having customizable art work would be an awesome idea, and a great way for people to share their artistic talent and help others complete their Home Screen. Another thing is that all the widgets are awesome and I love the new artwork, but it’s hard because all of the best artwork is for a premium membership, and it’s a lot to pay for, just to have cool looking widgets. And I do t think many people will be desperate enough to to pay that much just to make their home screen and widgets be aesthetically pleasing. If there was a different way that people could use the Widgetsmith pro artwork and widgets such as, sharing the app with a certain number of people, or rating it on the AppStore and writing suggestions, that would be a way for people who don’t have the extra money to spend on these designs a way to nail their aesthetic.

Can’t exactly customize

So my friend uses this and says it’s good so that’s why I gave you some stars I personally haven’t used this because of what I will tell you. So the thing is I want this specific picture right but when I try to make it it only gives me a certain selection like favorites recents etc. but the problem is when I click it, it inserts a random photo from that category and that’s not what I want I want specific photos. I tried to go to the help settings but the videos are out dated the set up of the app it had is not the set up it is now and basically what I got from one of the videos is you can’t chose the picture it randomly choses for you. I want control over my pictures I mean the whole point is to be able to customize your widgets right? Also when I looked in the help section I found something that could help but these help instructions are outdated the set up isn’t the same I tried to follow the instructions but it said after going to default one scroll down to custom section but I scrolled there’s no custom section anymore. So If this is an option and I just don’t know or either you could make it an option that would be great! And if you could update the help instructions and videos that would also be great because if it is an option I would like to select certain photos and the instructions now can’t help because there outdated and it’s not well helping. So if you can help out here thank you!!

I think it’s good but needs some work

It seems like people mostly download this app for customizable pictures in their widgets. But sometimes it will turn grey. Also, as soon as I got the new update for this app, it won’t let me add any new widgets. For example when my homepage is in jingle mode and I click the + to add a new widget, I try to look up Widgetsmith but now however, it’s not there! So it won’t let me add new widgets. Also my widgets I already had all turned grey and when I hold down the widget to click on “edit widget” it’s not there anymore! So I can’t even change it at all. Also before I got the update the last few widgets I added were all grey and I couldn’t get the picture I wanted. It’s a really good app and concept but I feel like it also needs to have directions on how to use it and edit widgets on the homepage to change widgets. Also it has bugs that need to be fixed. :( (by the way could you please make it so we can customize the widgets name so it doesn’t just say Widgetsmith?)

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately the grey boxes are a frustration to us too. Sometimes it means that the app can't find the widget you are showing (just make sure that you have selected a current one in the app). We are working to see if there's anything more we can fix on our end but it might just be an iOS14 issue as well. So sorry about that!

We have made a help video in the "Get Help" area of the app to help you understand how to customize and add widgets to your home screen - hopefully that is helpful too!

Thanks for your patience as we continue to work to improve the app!
