| 2024-04-08 |  | | I'm BEGGING you please add some sort of app sorting or search bar when selecting an app to open from the widget, I've spent like 5 minutes looking for the app I want to open when I click the widget and I can't find it because they AREN'T in alphabetical order nor is there a way to search the name of what app you want. I thought I could finally replace my other photo widget app but this feature being so bare bones is a huge deal breaker for me. Selected multiple pictures and it only shows one. |
| 2023-10-28 |  | | Very good app that I have been using for a long time! I love an aesthetic homescreen, and this app definitely is a huge help in making thay happen. It's quite simple to use, as the name suggests. My one complaint is that when you have multiple pictures and it is set to "flip page manually," the picture constantly resets to the first. It'd be better if it stayed on the one you chose to flip to. Other than that, great app! Edit: Rating lowered because that ONE COMPLAINT has become a huge annoyance |
| 2023-06-23 |  | | Really great app, probably the best app for making widgets. I would have given it 5 stars, but it won't let you choose what location the photos come from (cannot use backed up photos that are saved in cloud but not on device). Theoretically I believe this should be possible to do, and should be updated in order to do so (if it's not possible that's okay, still a really good app) |
| 2023-04-28 |  | | It does what it says on the tin, which is more than a lot of the app store can boast! The widget fits perfectly in the empty space below my calendar with a slideshow of friends and family, really brightens my day. Only complaint would be that images are slightly slow to appear when I swipe to that page of my home screen, and I wish it was possible to add a Gallery folder that updates automatically (though you can navigate to a folder and select all to manually update it) |
| 2023-02-22 |  | | Great app, very simple to use and does what it says for the most part. My only and biggest problem with this is that the photo source does not seem to update itself on any sort of a regular or consistent basis. Meaning if I drop a new image file into Google photos and choose that is the image source. The new photo does not appear in the image selection window |
| 2023-01-09 |  | | So this app works okay except that sometimes on my Google Pixel 6, the photo will randomly crop the picture vertically so that I can only see a small horizontal sliver of the picture. The boundaries of the widget are the same, but the picture is broken. I don't know why it does this if you have any type of idea for a solution, please reach out to me. |
| 2022-11-25 |  | | I love this app so much!!! So far I've had no problems with it. It's super easy to use and even has video tutorials if you need help. The ads aren't annoying and don't show up on the photo widgets which Im thankful for. Overall, easy and simple app to use. I highly recommend! |
| 2022-10-26 |  | | Pretty good app, doesn't take up much storage and does the job. My only complaint with it is figuring out how to use it (like changing sizes, how the image fits, etc.) and that sometimes the images will compress/become small. It's a very quick and easy issue to fix myself but it gets annoying when it happens constantly. Otherwise, I really enjoy this app and I'd suggest it to other android users! |
| 2022-09-22 |  | | Awesome! Easy to use! I tried another app, but my photo disappeared unless the app was open and every time I opened it, it wanted me to sign up for their service - $19.99 per month??? I just wanted one widget. This delivered, the ads didn't bother me since I only used it for such a brief time. The video tutorials were simple and helpful. |
| 2022-09-12 |  | | So far it works better than any other widget app and it memorizes the photo when you shut the phone, most of the other photo widget apps wipe all the photos in the widget if the phone is turned off or dies. Unfortunately the app cannot see photos saved on the sd card , it only sees photos saved to device and those are the only ones you can access for a widget. |
