Description
Widgetsmith lets you personalize your device like never before with a wide range of highly customizable widgets. It allows you to design your home screen to remind you of the people, places, and words that mean the most to you.
Widgetsmith showcases your photos, counts down to upcoming events, provides quick access to your favorite music, allows you to check the weather at a glance, and more. You can build widgets with Actions to launch apps, run Shortcuts, send a text, and more, from your home screen or Control Center.
Widgetsmith includes a library of iPhone wallpapers and a tool to theme your widgets to perfectly complement these wallpapers or any of your own.
Each widget can be adjusted precisely to fit your desired appearance and function, using various colors, fonts, borders, and themes. With Widgetsmith, you can create your perfect home screen aesthetic and easily change it over time.

Great fun
I still enjoy the app. A small issue i would like them to fix if possible - please allow circle lock screen widgets to show full color. The option is there but it stays tinted

I have been using this app for not too long but it is honestly amazing!!!💕🔥
2023-11-22
Could be good but isn’t
Doesn’t let you make specific widgets, i.e if you make a small widget ALL the widgets with have the same picture. I’ve tried so many times to make specific widgets specific pictures but they all end up the same. Extremely disappointed as it was working for a while.
2023-10-11
How This Is A Great App😀
This is an amazing app and it has changed my boring screens into something a lot more fun it makes for some cool things and I love it so much you should really download this app💗💗💗💗
2023-09-25
Very disappointed
I have not been enjoying my experience using this app for the time being: right after I updated the app, it began to glitch as well as so funny things while being on my Home Screen
Deeply disappointed.
2023-01-13
OMG.
THIS IS THE THING I NEEDED IN MY LIFE 🥰
2023-01-06
Brilliant app
It works really well I have a really nice Home Screen. I am going to start using my iPad for school and I have an amazing Home Screen to work with. I recommend to download
2022-10-13
It was terrible
Widget smith did not allow me to make my own widget and only gave me three photos my my photos and gave me that as options
2022-09-01
Please make it free
Please make it free I can never find a app that is free for iPad customises 🙄
2022-06-11
Tricky
So confusing
2022-04-09
Clumsy interface, buggy
The user interface to set up and label widgets is crude and clumsy. Once added to the home screen, widgets change type randomly eg a DateTime, a Date and a Calendar change into three Steps! Uninstalled.
2022-03-31
Okay
So hard to first set up but it’s kinda worth it at the end
2022-03-30

Widgetsmith Review
App is very user friendly. Takes a bit of time to learn all the tricks and placement options but once you get the hang of it, it’s a piece of cake! Such a fun way to make your phone aesthetic, would highly recommend ✨
2022-03-18
so bad
worst app why would u want a widget that u can’t customize it just brings up random images from your camera roll worst eve r
2022-01-24
Love it!!✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I personally struggled to find cool widgets for my iPad Pro max and this app…….. is a total life saver
2021-12-14
Faulty edit button
I cannot edit my widgets on my Home Screen it is not allowing me to do so, is it a bug ? Using iPhone XS Max
2021-10-05
Four stars
I love this app but it took me so long to figure out how to use but l love this app so so much
2021-10-01
Impossible
This app is confusing. I don’t know how to delete widgets, add the widgets. I suggest you make this app easy to work with if you want a better review
2021-09-19
Great app thank you for designing it😉
..
2021-04-27
widgetsmith is cool
it makes the phone look so cool
it is super cool
love it
2021-03-18
doesn’t work
when i tried to make a aesthetic home screen and i used a photo of someone playing piano it didn’t add to my home screen it still said “tUEsDaY 19” so please make it easier for the users that your ‘app’
2021-03-02
Problem
I can see the widgets in YouTube and other apps
2021-02-04
It is too difficult to use it
I HATE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT
2020-12-30
Okay... I guess
I got this app wanting an ✨aesthetic✨ Home Screen but I can’t really do what I can do on my iPad {I’m using an iPad!} so I can’t add widgets to my *actual* homescreen to make it aesthetically pleasing but please please please and the update for phones in iPads I use my iPad for school more now and I really want a pleasing visual homescreen. So again, iPhone features on iPad is a MUST.
Awayss ignoring the fact that I cannot do anything I want to do on my iPad, it’s a noice app good for iPhone users but nor iPad. If you want to see what I’m going on about download it, I dare you and you’ll be very disappointed in this app.
2020-11-11
Doesn’t work
I’ve downloaded this app and made a lot of awesome widgets but they don’t transfer to widget bar please help me with this thank you I’ve also tried redownloading the app still doesn’t work
2020-10-13
Rlly Gud app
I like this app 💜
2020-10-07
Love the app but...
My widget boxes have been sticking on the same pictures or greyed out. Please fix ASAP. Love the app when it works though.
2020-10-06
Struggling
I can’t seem to open the app it keeps kicking me off ? Can you help
2020-10-05
Happy user
This app does the things to be done
2020-10-03
The Best App Ever
It's an amazing app
2020-10-01
Works perfectly
Love this app. Love that you can customize your widgets
2020-09-29
Everything not free.
The ones that are free not nice. Hidden costs. The moment you like one you must pay first to use it.
2020-09-28
...
I can’t use other locations on these widgets, my bf and I are in a long distance relationship and I want to add his time but it won’t let me. I absolutely love this app but I would like to have his time on a widget.
2020-09-24
Shows Only Grey Box
Downloaded on my iphone 8 plus, but widget is shows only a grey box not the expected widget. Very disappointed 😕 😓😓. Hope developers shall fix it soon.
2020-09-24
Please
Was really good until I added like the 7th widget and now all there is are grey boxes please fix this it really is a good app
2020-09-23
Works perfectly
I’ve been using this app for nearly a week now and haven’t had any problems. It’s getting updates for bug fixed that other people are having but I’ve yet to experience anything of the sort.
I have 10 small widgets (some stacked), 3 medium, and 2 large. Never had the “grey block” issue.
I also like what the developers are doing with adding more options! It’s easy to use and a great way to give a personal touch to your phone - something Apple has been needing for a long time. So thank you for making this possible!
2020-09-23
Amazing
I really love it at first it was confusing to figure out but I fifers it out I find the app really useful 100% would recommend to download it
2020-09-21
Complicated
The first time I’ve ever had to watch an tutorial video to figure out how an app works.
2020-09-21
Stopped working
Worked for a day and then the clock widget wouldn’t load. After I updated none of my pictures load - just a black blank screen but the clock and customized texts show up. Sad
2020-09-21
Meh
I couldn’t customize my widgets & it wasn’t adding to my Home Screen.
2020-09-20
Works most of the time
I would add up to 4 widgets then after I want to add more it just comes up with a grey screen
2020-09-20
app doesn’t open
Hi! I’ve tried downloading and opening it but it just takes me back to my Home Screen.
I’m not sure if there’s a bug or something but that’s the only problem.
(Maybe it’s because everyone is using at the same time)
2020-09-20
👍
should make it able to have different images for the same size widget. in other words, i should be able to have to medium widgets with two different pictures at the same time.
2020-09-20
Great app
The app is great and functions as it’s supposed to. Is there a way we can insert custom text under the widget
2020-09-19
Wowww so good
It makes all my apps organized
