An editorial reading of the saved reviews

One of the few apps where the widget builder actually works without a mandatory subscription. Some elements unlock through watching ads. The interface targets beginners: pick a theme, pick a widget, add it to the screen. Depth is limited. You cannot freely mix elements from different themes. The app launcher (widget to open apps) requires URL schemes that users have to find themselves, which is an almost insurmountable barrier for 90% of apps.

Screenshots

What people use it for

Users who want a good-looking screen from a preset template quickly, without digging into iOS mechanics.

What reviews praise

A free widget with user photos set up in under a minute.
Preset themes look cohesive: color, font, and icons selected together.

What reviews complain about

The app launcher only works for apps with a public URL scheme, which excludes most popular ones.
Video wallpapers do not apply correctly on some devices.

What users experience

I'm sure there is something good about this app, but I was unable to enjoy it with every click popping up ads.
