This used to work smoothly, and I did really like it, but the performance has seriously degraded over time—the app now consistently and continuously crashes in the background, it can barely go a half hour without crashing now.

There's this bug, when you put the app to deep sleep, the widgets break and you have to place them again which is kinda annoying and time consuming.

It's okay, the only thing that bothers me is that the widgets would disappear if you close the app. I also wish there was a way to save the layout of the widgets, so I wouldn't have to place them one by one. Although it is difficult at first to find a way the app works it's better than the rest I tried out.
