Flex Widgets for Negative User Reviews
✓ UselessThe concept would be cool if it ever worked. Wasted $3..Version: 1.0.3
✓ OkI wish we could use the calendars and weather apps. That would be awesome. Unless I’m doing something wrong?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ UselessDespite some positive reviews this is not an intuitive app. I am not the most technically effective person and found it impossible to get the app to work. Luckily I only wasted £1.99 on this rubbish. Any advice on how to get this app to work would be greatly appreciated. Failing that I will delete it and get on with my life. Rixy.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn’t workThe customization of the widget is impressive and easy to use, however whenever I go to the widget menu to search for the app to add the widgets, it doesn’t pop up so basically I can’t use the app..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Cannot customize locationFirst there are no instructions on how to use the app. Next there is now way to customize the location for weather info. Unfortunately I wasted $2 on this app..Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish!Nothing works. You cannot set the time zone. You cannot set the weather area. A complete waste of money..Version: 1.0
✓ Used to WorkWhen I initially purchased this app it was great; I was able to customize multiple widgets for my screen. Now for some reason it has stopped working. I can create widget but I’m not able to add them to my screen..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Waste of money!!!This app is super limited to the types of widgets you can create. Don't waste your money on this app. There are so many more widgets apps in the app store that do more for free..Version: 1.0
✓ I want my money back pleaseIt’s not working it was at first but now it’s not please please return my money.Version: 1.0.1
✓ I had high hopesThe app is amazing in every way except one thing which is a deal breaker for me. When I created the custom widget it still says “flex widget” at the bottom but it doesn’t show when I’m customizing it. This is a paid app I don’t think I should see that..Version: 1.0.3
✓ AnnoyingCan’t rename widgets.Version: 1.0.3
✓ “Not bad, but “Flex Widget” label is annoyingI REALLY wish it were possible to get rid of the white label saying “Flex Widget” at the bottom of each of my widgets..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Waste of money!!After reading a few different reviews, i gathered that this “bug” is just a feature of the app to get you to waste your money on it! i paid for the app because i wanted to customize my apps but after the few widgets i made, i was unable to put widgets on my home screen. although i can create them, when i try to put them on my home screen, they give me the same instructional widget as before. this is a bug you all need to fix, i paid for this app and i would like for it to work with instead of against me.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Horrible!Don’t waste your time. I’m deleting it. In a nutshell... it doesn’t work..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn’t work, just money lost.I can’t even add a widget because flex widgets doesn’t appear in my widget list..Version: 1.0.3
✓ DO NOT BUY THIS APPDO NOT BUY this app the developer gave up on it, it’s been 9 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST UPDATE! I’m experiencing the same issues everyone else is: custom widget not being added to home screen even after selecting it, app freezes and doesn’t allow me to select certain layers to continue customizing, widgets don’t update in real time etc..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good app but bit buggyLove this app idea. But it’s a bit buggy, once you created a widget and save it. The 1st one will save and load on Home Screen. But then the 2nd one won’t work and load. It will not load the photos. Had to unload the app and download it again. But still did not fix the problem. Hopefully you can fix this asap..Version: 1.0.3
✓ App will not workYour answer is for me to uninstall and reinstall the app. However, this doesn’t work on my other apps worked just fine. Your app says I need to be connected to the Wi-Fi. I am connected to the Wi-Fi. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times wiggy widgets works fine. Top widgets work fine clear space widgets works fine flex widgets doesn’t work says I need to be connected to the Wi-Fi. Thank you for wasting my money and time..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great start. Room to improve.Great app. Love the customizations. Weather location doesn’t work correctly because location access is only “never” or “when using app”. It shows up correctly in app but not in the widget. Would be spectacular if you could add support for “clear” backgrounds. Current workaround is to export the proper space’s image from the app “clear spaces” and assign it as the background for this app. Keep improving. Great implementation with nice options to start..Version: 1.0
✓ Completely unintuitiveAfter fumbling and stumbling to create a widget, no clue how to put it on my iPhone screen. Frustrating. Then when I finally figured that out... Why can’t one set an app to be opened when touching the widget? Or no app at all? Having it just open the Flex Widgets app is useless. Why can’t a clock be set to open...the alarm clock for example? A calendar...wait for it...the Calendar?.Version: 1.0
✓ App was great when workingIt was great but then stopped working after updating if developer is around please try to update for iOS 15 0.1 the app is not loading once you make your widgets it seems to be a problem on the iPads this is a great app when it works.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Doesnt workI understand that there are bugs in apps but if you are charging $3 for an app where you cannot even add the widgets to the home screen anymore… maybe you should stop charging people for it.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Looks good but doesn’t work!None of the functions update in real-time. I made a nice calendar widget and it just stays on the same day. Same with the weather. Lame.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Created custom widgets can't be usedThe widgets you create don't actually show as options to add to the screen. The only available option regardless of how many you create is a default purple square customization options are very limited to calendar, times, and weather, asking with some personalized imagery. BUT again, your creations aren't actually usable. This app has a ton of potential but seems to have been released far too early, with far too few options, and major flaws referring the app useless..Version: 1.0
✓ Heath chartCan’t change color because the chart to change won’t fit on iPhone screen.Version: 1.0
✓ Works until you try and add it to the Home ScreenThe app works nicely creating your custom widgets. You have a lot of choices. However when you try and add it to your Home Screen you can’t select the widget that you have created, it doesn’t come up in the list, even though you have exported the widget into My Widgets.Version: 1.0
✓ Was very goodHave been using this for some time now and all worked well I have now noticed that the time and background items are not refreshing so In order to do this I have to open the App and re save the widget It’s not showing in the background app refresh list can’t see any where to alter this issue it’s a tad annoying because this was a very good widget maker and the only one that did what it stated on the packet without ripping you off.Version: 1.0.3
✓ App does not workNot able to add the custom widget to the home screen. Will be contacting apple for a refund..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Stops working after an hourIt was fun making and adding widgets but now they won’t even load on my home screen which makes this app a complete waste of money. please fix this.Version: 1.0.3
✓ NoI thought it would be a great alternative to Widgetsmith but it keeps renaming my widgets. It’s not productive..Version: 1.0.3
✓ “Flex Widgets” tag ?? WHY!!Creating widgets worked for me. I was able to use Yidget app with this app to create the transparent look. BUT WHY DOES “Flex Widgets” appear under every widget I make. Please remove this or give us that option FOR US WHO PAID!! FIX THAT and I’d make it 5 STARS..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Limited useWhat I really wanted was to be able to edit how the events in my calendar were displayed in the widget but the app is not capable of that. Doesn’t seem to be a way to give suggestions to the developer either. If you just want to modify the basics this will work..Version: 1.0
✓ No instructionsNo instructions how to get what you create onto your main screen. No manual how to use. I paid $2 and you can only make poxes but you can use them on your phone unless you open the app..Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn’t work as advertisedYeah you can create widgets. But there’s no option to tell it what weather information to use so I have random weather information that doesn’t correspond to my location. Also the icons change in the final widget giving it a different appearance then you created. Needs work..Version: 1.0
✓ Wasted moneyHonestly, this app is not good at all. Here are two examples. Buttons on widgets can only open URL’s. It can’t open apps (the main reason I bought it). And the biggest deal breaker.. when you use shortcuts in a widget to open an app... It will first load up the flex app, then the shortcuts app, THEN the app you wanted in the first place! What a joke that is. It may improve over time but right now it’s a waste of money..Version: 1.0
✓ BuggyHas potential and I hope the developer fixes them, but at the moment, I regret the purchase..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good but can think of somethings to addE.g for weather, more precise in terms of individual suburbs/towns, and also a 7-8 day outlook option. And also support for battery widgets would be cool 👍.Version: 1.0.2
✓ Worst app everI purchased this app thinking it will be as smooth as they say it is. Everytime i want to click on a different tab i have to restart the app, and I’m using the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPad Pro 2020. I have no issues with other apps that I use but this one is the lamest app ever the developer needs to redesign his app. And I want a refund for this as i hate this app.Version: 1.0.3
✓ What happened!This was working wonderfully, added a touch of secrecy, but now it won't hold three widgets I make. Keeps referring to three edit widget to choose. Please address this bug. Hence the 2 starts only..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Thin black line bugIt’s supposed to be transparent but I can see a very thin black line at the very bottom of the widget so it doesn’t appear seamless with my wallpaper. Kind of annoyed for 3 bucks I expect it to do as it says ..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Still BuggyThis app would be great if it worked. There’s nothing worse than spending hours on customizing your widgets and designing your home screen just to have your final piece not work and have to uninstall and reinstall. Which means you’ll have to create all the widgets again. Even if they do work at first, there’s no telling how long they will last. Another complaint I have is the slideshow only allows 20 images. However, the 20 image limit isn’t written anywhere. After preparing all the images I was planning to use (well over the 20 image limit), it was a painful chore to narrow down my images to the limit. Only for the widget to not work, making me have to do it all over again. On the bright side, I’ve gotten pretty quick with making them over. I highly recommend finding another app. At it’s current state, this app is not worth the money. Side note: Every widget says “Flex Widgets” under it. So if you’re planning on making a transparent widget, just know that that will be floating there..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Almost greatI like being able to put my weather, time and Calendar in one widget. I wish though that when I selected the date it would actually take me to my events for that day like the native calendar widget does..Version: 1.0
✓ I instructionsNo instructions at all. Zip. Nada. Not even a hint as to how to make the widgets. Even the premade ones don’t give the user any clues. What a waste of money..Version: 1.0
✓ AbandonwareNo updates for a year..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Hard to understand the UXThe UX makes it hard to understand what order you need to proceed in..Version: 1.0.3
✓ KindaI loved it while it worked, the only problem is I turned my phone off, and when it turned back on all the widgets defaulted back to the original ‘select the widget you created’ widget. And even though the correct widgets are selected they won’t show up. Really annoying bug that if can’t be fixed literally prevents you from using the entire app..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Screen is purpleGlitches and keyboard constantly gets stuck. Screen is also purple after I’ve made widget..Version: 1.0
✓ Easy and very intuitive?Not sure what happened to the previous reviews, plenty disappeared (incl. mine with good comments)? Overall a good app but I’d suggest for the developer to work on making the shortcuts to open directly, without the Flex Widget app to open itself on top of it. Similar issue with other widgets (weather, time, etc.), background apps don’t open when clicking on the widget..Version: 1.0.2
