Make your own widgets, just the way you like.

Install countless skins from Google play or use 'uzips' (fully editable UCCW skin files) made by your friends.

Features
Widget objects - text, shapes, images, weather, graphic (progress), analog clock etc.

I have used this app for MANY years, always with the very same skin from another application. Now there is a new app by the developer and magically my skin stops working for the first time in years? No, screw it. If anyone else is having this issue, go online and download and install the UCCW APK version 4.9.9 and everything's as it should be again. Bad move!

Great widget customization app with alot of potential! Only hiccups are weather elements not updating (current temp, humidity, weather icon set). Even tho I purchased, sometimes ads still show, especially on the 'Quit App' dialog box. Otherwise great! UPDATE 9/29/22: Ok so if we need to migrate our designs over to "Widgets by You" then what will happen to our purchases of UCCW moving forward? Hope to get a reply soon. Thanks.

Love it! I was looking for a notes widget but couldn't find one that lets you make a clear background sticky note that can easily be edited. Came upon this and it is even better than I dreamed! My affirmation looks like it's part of my background now!😀 Thx devs for an awesome app!! Suggestion.. maybe in the future we could use font apps with it? Not sure if something prevents this or not.
