Fancy Widgets

For people having trouble with it: This was designed for an older version of Android. To get it to work properly on newer phones, you need to do 2 things. Go into your battery optimization settings and deselect this app, so it's NOT optimized. Then go into the settings for this app and allow location access all the time, not just while using the app. Now it will work as it should.

Display is different The display is now only one space high, and the clock is on the left, instead of on top. Looks like the landscape view. I even tried older versions with no luck. I'm using it on my new S10 plus, but it also changed on my Note 8. I'm frustrated. It's working, but it takes up the 4x2 space with a 4x1 widget. I'm using the widget for many years, back to the original Droid. Will change back to 5 stars when it works again!

Doesn't work anymore. Used to be great, no longer. Ever since the Android update it sucks and no response from developer. Time to find something that works. The big problem is that the developer does not respond. I've sent an email to them and nothing. I have since downloaded sense flip and it works great. Same features as this one. They even fixed the alarm time. Shows actual time of alarm, not 5 minutes before.

This used to be my "Go-to" app whenever I got a new phone. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my latest Galaxy S10 running Android Version 9. It will not load after a reboot; you have to remove it and then replace it in order for it to display properly. Even then, the clock does not update. You can get it to display the current time by going in to the settings, and then going back to the main display... but once set, the clock will continue to show that same time until you repeat the process. Damned shame... I hope I can find a working replacement.

Used this app for years. Since recent update it doesn't function properly. Time is always wrong. Doesn't update temperature. Verified all settings. Clock doesn't display anymore with anything but the stock clock skin. No widgets function. Disappointing. Hopefully an update will correct. Uodate: It's been a couple months since issue started. There have been no updates. I can only assume that the developers have abandoned the app. Time to do the same.

I bought the pro version quite a while back and have only recently had one of the same problems that so many other people have had. The time was 5 hours ahead of the actual time. I tried emailing with no response. I tried looking for the battery optimization to change, but that isn't available on my phone. (Galaxy S6). I finally just started using a different widget - Beautiful Widget Pro by Level Up Studio. It does all the same stuff and I no longer have the problem.

Now, since the update, the widget won't load on phone boot, doesn't display the temp, doesn't display the correct time, and for the first time in years I have uninstalled it. It is also displaying ads even though I bought the unlocked. While the battery optimization work around fixes the time, the temperature is constantly wrong and the themes don't work.

I bought this widget years ago and have been very happy using it. I have probably had it on at least my last 5 phone and it wouldn't be the same without it. However, recently it is not refreshing reliably. hope there is a fix soon. Update to one star because I have now seen that many are reporting the same issue and it seems nothing has been done. Not happy about ads on my paid version either.

Been using this for years... then it stopped working. was glad to see you finally did the update. But It still doesnt work. the time gets stuck and doesn't advance and you can only use the default widgets. You provide many choices especially if you pay for the unlocker like I did but they will not work. So there is very little customization that can present a problem if you've paid to do so. AND there is still tons of Ads... Update NO BUENO!!

Update: It is not acceptable that the temperature is very incorrect. Not just a little incorrect like it usually is. The widget says it's 28°F , when clicked the main app says it's 41°F. The actual temp is 38°F. Well being off a couple degrees is one thing, but displaying a temp 10° lower is cause to uninstall. --- Original review: It took a bit trying out all the features and settings. Now that I've tried everything, I found the perfect set-up for me!
