It's alright. Great if it works for you. Unfortunately each bubble cloud caps out at 40 or so apps. You can't access app info from the widget. Often cuts off the edges of the icons making round icons into rounded octagons. Adding more apps is kind of a chore. You can automatically add all new installs to one, but you can't make a games cloud that automatically adds just games. So overall it's limited and hard to maintain, but cool when it works.

(I speak about 1st autolayout)Then can you rearrange cloud on switch without changing the size of icon?For example just arrange it from scratch, but switch not only image of the app but weight as well. Also, it would be much more convenient to change weight(size) of app onsite (in pencil menu of widget) for example by selecting it and pressing buttons +-. Then just rearrange them from scratch. If it's too difficult, maybe you can just move widget configuration from widget screen to app entirely.

Максим Зайцев, 2023-03-21

I love this widget, been using it for years. However, since the last Android version update the bubbles only work if you spread the grid wider (bubbles are now a lot bigger, the size of a tip of a finger). For years I've kept the bubbles small and the grid thin but long-> now that just distorts the bubbles vertically and messes them up to unrecognizable state.
