App summary

With Settings Widget you can create home screen widgets to access various system settings (wifi on/off etc.). The widgets also display the status of the settings directly on the home screen.

The widgets are freely customizable and you can create as many widgets as you want. The size of the widgets, the number of settings (rows and columns), the order of the settings as well as the graphical representation (colors, text visibility, etc.) can be adjusted as desired.

Some settings can be toggled on/off directly, while other settings have to be toggled via the corresponding system settings for technical reasons. A few other settings are just shortcuts to the corresponding system settings.

Settings Widget supports the following 21 settings:
- Wifi: on/off, toggle directly or via system settings (device-dependent)

On my Pixel 3a running Android 12, I just installed a 2x1 widget to let me turn GPS and mobile data on and off. So far it's working fine. I like the way that a setting turns green when it's on. So far I haven't seen any of the ads that are supposed to appear. Update: On a dual-SIM Pixel 7a, turning mobile data on or off doesn't let me choose which SIM to change. That's an unusual case, though, so I'm still giving five stars. I've had no other issues in two years... great widget!

The ads might be tolerable if it wasn't so quirky! - I opened the app, not the widget & clicked on the Do Not Disturb icon that promptly vanished. I had to reinstall app to get it back. - There didn't appear to be a way to edit a widget once on the desktop so I created a new one. I went back in the app & found I could edit the 1st widget but not the 2nd. - The ad frequency was okay but ads like Temu popped up without any way to return to the app without starting over & losing work in progress.

widget used to have 4 or 5 configurable functions. suddenly my widget stack broke because the only option now is 2 functions (wifi and cell data,)
