Handy - Live Widget Wallpaper for Negative User Reviews
✓ Confusing afHow tf do I connect Spotify to the iPod widget smh.Version: 1..8.11
✓ Ads right after making a purchaseWidget controls also feel clunky.Version: 1.8.24
✓ Useful appLove the app, easy to use and really cute but the only bad thing is sometimes the widget goes white or has a white border especially on the larger widget which can get annoying I try replacing it but it won’t work and it can get frustrating, but other than that I would recommend it.Version: 1.8.1
✓ This app is totally useless.I downloaded some widgets for my IPad. When I go to add the widgets however, the first steps say to hold down on the screen and click the plus sign then find the Handy widget. But Handy doesn’t show up. So I’m unable to add anything to my Home Screen..Version: 1.8.20
✓ Opening up an app takes a long timeThis app has been incredibly useful in cutting down the time it takes to create shortcuts manually and also offers cute widgets. My biggest issue is the time it takes to open an app. When I need to call someone and I click on my phone app, it opens up a blank screen, opens up handy, and then opens up my phone app. It ends up creating a lot of open tabs on my phone to clear. About 25% of the time, and always when I need to urgently contact someone, it’ll stop halfway through that process and just open up the handy app instead. I’ve strongly considered just uninstalling it all as a result. I’ve made a habit of just searching for apps instead of using my shortcuts. It’s super cute and makes making shortcuts easy, but I just don’t have the patience..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Paid for subscription but received nothingI paid $20 for their subscription that is supposed to unlock all their features, but when I go to download a widget it prompts me to join the subscription or pay for it .. I am incredibly frustrated as I just wasted my money on nothing. The app also keeps advertising the same subscription with a screen that you have to wait 5 seconds to close. Which again, I ALREADY paid for it which adds to the annoyance..Version: 2.2.6
✓ Subscription randomly stopped working?I felt silly paying for this, but I wanted to try it out. The widgets I used were very cute, but not worth actual money imo. And they didn’t update themselves, you have to click on the widget to sort of wake it up and sync it to the Handy app. Which is annoying. And then today, my subscription just stopped working for no reason. Apple says I’m still subscribed for a whole year, but the app itself says it’s under a different account? Which is literally impossible. So I’m just cancelling, deleting, and washing my hands of this experience. $20 down the drain, I only had the app for a couple of weeks..Version: 2.2.20
✓ This is good but one problemWhenever i try to sign in it won’t let me.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Not that good 😅 ( I do not recommend it 🫣 )I just downloaded it, and it seems that it asks you to join subscription ALL the time 🥵! So I tried looking for FREE packs of widgets, wallpapers, etc… And they aren’t that nice 🫣…. And so I tried, and it made me SIGN IN 😡, and I couldn’t ( somehow ) and so I pressed the button that said: cannot sign in? Try this. Button, so I pressed it, and it made me sign in by TIKTOK 😫… I DO NOT HAVE TIKTOK, my parents din’t let me ._. , so I had to UNINSTALL IT 😤😒.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Tried again and again!I got the app seeing it from Pinterest, downloaded it. I picked a cute design, everything seemingly went well. Picked the apps, made sure everything I did was correct. Followed EVERY step correctly, and did everything it told me to. Logged in, allowed, etc. I watched the add, as I had just gotten it. I hit “complete”, nothing. Reloaded, turned it off, tried again. Nothing. It looked the exact same, I did everything correct, nothing..Version: 1.8.2
✓ Blank AppsThe app would honestly be the best shortcut one there is if it didn’t require you to go through a blank page + the handy app loading up before taking you to the actual app. I raved to my boyfriend and was like, “look how fast and cute I made this!” just to find out the issues that came with actually pressing the app itself on my homescreen. I may just go back to making the shortcuts myself if this isn’t fixed somehow..Version: 1.8.10
✓ Not loading?Deleted, downloaded the app, updated…nothing works and mums my app isn’t loading. is it because i have other widgets being currently used???.Version: 1..8.11
✓ Misleading!! Don’t waste your money.I was shown an ad that said $0.67 per week or something for ~all access~ and ability to “cancel at any time”. When I realized I wasn’t going to use much of what was offered for free within 20 minutes of subscribing, I went to cancel and it says I was charged for the full year ($31)…? Why say “$0.67 per week, cancel anytime”? I shouldn’t be charged for the full year if the promotion was truthful. UPDATE: I cancelled the subscription because I didn’t want to forget next year and be charged $30 again, and once I did that the widgets on my phone stopped working. If I PAID $30 for the year, they should STILL WORK until the year is up. This was so frustrating. Luckily I filed a complaint and got a refund..Version: 2.2.20
✓ BadSo there’s NOTHING you can get for free everything costs money and it’s pretty overpriced.Version: 2.2.19
✓ Subscription ad comes up oftenThis app is really useful to easily setup the cute phone layout you want! my biggest critique is how often their subscription ad comes up when i try to open apps (at least in my experience). i can get past the handy app pulling up the shortcut window then shortly opening up the actual app you selected, but sometimes it's frustrating when the subscription ad shows up especially on apps that may be more time sensitive to access. i can't open the base phone or messages app without getting the subscription ad when i'm trying to contact someone quickly. i understand why they have to display their subscription ad for the users, but i wish it could maybe be off limits on certain base apps that you would need to access quickly so you aren't waiting for the app to load only to see the subscription first before closing out of it..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Good app for a while butI’ve been unable to post any themes for like three days now, every time I press post on any draft it just stays frozen on a certain percent like 3 or 32 for an indefinite amount of time. I’ve only waited up to twenty minutes. I tried contacting the support team but the email is either false or outdated and they don’t respond on socials. I would’ve tried deleting and reinstalling the app but that would’ve made me loose all my hard work. Again, I’ve found no way to contact the support team so it makes for an unpleasant experience with this app..Version: 2.2.23
✓ The app icons wont workI created a bunch of app icons and i downloaded it but none of them ended up showing on my actual home screen..Version: 1.8.15
✓ It’s okayIt said it’s a one off payment, but they took money the next month ?.Version: 2.0.15
✓ Kinda confusing but goodThe app itself and what it does is pretty good but maybe i’m just slow but the instructions were kinda confusing and unclear to me 😭😭 i suggest adding more detailed and clear instructions, ESPECIALLY for the live activity lyric widgets where you need to do a ton of different things to get it to work, like allowing different permissions and having to add the small widget to ur homescreen first. i learned that the hard way 😭.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Not workingI downloaded this for the iPod widget, it won’t open Spotify and the buttons only work if I spam press them, and even then sometimes they don’t respond at all. What a waste...Version: 1.8.18
✓ Excited but need moreI have always been so upset and confused trying to make my own shortcuts but this app helps cut out so much of the work! The free options are even great themselves and good for people who can’t afford! My own issue is that I have no idea how to cut out the part where the shortcut goes through the app to then take me to the linked app. It would be so much better if I could figure that out!.Version: 1.6.1
✓ MeI bought Icons and I don’t see them on my phone and the is not helping.Version: 1.8.16
✓ Cool Idea, poor execution.I love the idea, plenty of cute packs but most being locked behind an expensive subscription service, including the iPod widget I looked forward to trying. I’d much rather be able to buy a widget outright or pay for the app once than throwing on another subscription service..Version: 2.0.20
✓ 9.99 a month?When I first found handy I absolutely loved it! Having a icon pack creation platform that is easily accessible for artists and users alike was a incredible cool idea. I understand completely that it takes time and a ton of effort for the developer to create this app. Keeping up on the Twitter has shown me how much time is spent creating these updates along with the time spent sending reviews to apple. When I saw the notification that the “second jump” was getting removed I was so excited! But when I opened the app and was prompted to pay 9.99 a month for the feature I got sad. Everyone deserves to get paid. I do not disagree with that. But 9.99 a month? It’s a bit much in my opinion, and I feel it’s going to shrink your audience. Otherwise I do greatly like this app, it does what it says it does well. I enjoy the autofill “magic” feature when creating icon packs. I really like how simple the process for artists to upload their work..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Good.....BUTIts really good how you can actually get good photos for free but the one i feel like thats unfair is...You have to SUB for all good things or just pay money.I mean its good!Yah but its just not really fair.....Version: 2.0.6
✓ How to install???It’s a really great app and the app icons and widgets are really easy to make but then when I actually try to install my custom icons, it doesn’t install. It will bring me to the Install Complete screen but when I press continue and go to my Home Screen, the new icons aren’t there. I know about the Configuration profile process but the profile doesn’t come up when I go to settings. The first time I tried installing an icon to test if it actually works, it worked, but now it wont let me install my other icons. Please fix the app, it may be a glitch, but I would really like to actually install my custom icons..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Would give 0 if I could£7.99 a week is ridiculous. £7.99 a month maybe but a WEEK?! Wow, the greed is real.Version: 2.2.20
✓ Deeply glitchy and very few options for subscribersThe widgets were super glitchy, and there isn’t even much included in the subscription for the price. I used it for less than two weeks and then filed for a refund and deleted the app..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Doesn't workI would LOVE the app so much but it unfortunately does not work when I download a widget..Version: 2.0.2
✓ They never gave me the widget I paid forFollowed all the instructions and my widget still won’t show, waste of money.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Can’t sign inI can’t sign in with my Apple ID and before you say “just sign In with TikTok” I DONT HAVE TIKTOK. 😖.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Stolen art and overpriced widgetsVery few free options that aren’t uncredited, stolen art screeshotted from Pinterest, and the cute options are like $8 for a clock widget. Cute idea, but needs better options..Version: 1.8.19
✓ Good but I have a request:Please do what you can to remove the Handy screen that appears every time you click on certain app icons Thank you 💕 Also can people stop complaining that the app is confusing when you probably just don’t know how to use it….Version: 2.0.13
✓ Pay to useThe app overall looks good and I've used it before to create themes. I recently re downloaded it because I saw the addition of music widgets and I've been trying to find an app that has music widgets that aren't only for apple Music and this is the only app I've found that has that! That all sounds good but once I tried to access the music widgets I realised you have to pay for a membership to use them, and since they are 2 out of the 4 picture advertisements on this apps game page an that's mentioned nowhere that got me upset that's why Im only rating 2 stars..Version: 2.2.13
✓ A little misleadingWhile the widgets and everything are amazing, what they don’t tell you is that you still have to pay for the app icons/themes separately. Feels like a waste of money..Version: 2.2.19
✓ DisappointedThe only thing stopping me from getting a new phone is the fact that I had used a one time purchase for the iPod feature (back when they had a one time purchase feature before they decided everything has to be paid through their subscription). Maybe if I could get money back or something I wouldn’t be too upset but even then the feature doesn’t work half the time..Version: 2.2.22
✓ Cute but…Look I’m not denying that it isn’t cute. Like all these amazing widgets and layouts are beautiful and they’re pretty. Tbh I only downloaded this because of the MP3 format but hard to find out that I had to pay for it, look all the mp3 widget is gonna sit on my phone every single layout I do, it’s kinda annoying when it’s 9.99 and for what to be aesthetically pleasing ? Other than that the app itself it’s kinda buggy but once again it’s cute.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Delayed App Opens, Blank Duplicate OpenI like the idea that this app makes it easier to add themes to your app icons, however whenever it opens it opens a second blank page. This blank page also creates some delay when opening the app - not thrilled with that either. Probably going to uninstall and just go back to my boring normal layout. I don’t want endless duplicate app tabs and a delay on opening every app..Version: 1.8.19
✓ Login update broke everything.I’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, updated, and even gave up and deleted my account to try and get Handy to work again after the most recent update. The hot fix did not fix anything. I get an SSL error any time I try and install a theme, and the app randomly logs me out and will not let me log in again unless I uninstall and reinstall the app. Even then, I can’t install any of the themes I had bought. It just loads forever. I’ve been using the app for almost a year before this. So disappointed :(.Version: 2.2.11
✓ Why I did not rate this fully!!!I hate this! You have to pay every widget and it says free but you still have to pay. It’s so frustrating, it’s like a nightmare seeing evening happy but me. Don’t buy this silly app 😡.Version: 2.2.6
✓ Great and all but..It wont let me install any theme at all no matter how long i leave my phone to install it for.Version: 1.8.10
✓ Why doesn’t it work?I saw all the reviews and thought this app would be great to download! But then when I got it, the icons I put on my apps didn’t even show up! And I can’t figure out why. This is extremely frustrating because there is nothing I can do about it. And it looks like no one else has had this problem. And now the app I kinda useless to me just because of this!.Version: 2.0.14
✓ Handy RatingHi the only thing that’s wrong with the app is you have to pay to get the themes so there was great themes yet I couldn’t use them but thank you for making the app!.Version: 1.9.0
✓ Confusing waste of moneyI usually do not write reviews but I thought to write one after the frustration I experienced today. I don’t know if this is just a problem with iPad but it will not let me install icon packs after half an hour of adding my games which was another problem I experienced, in the description it says 1-click which was clearly false. I did confirm in my settings to allow this app but it still wouldn’t let me install pack even after I bought a weekly subscription. It was only two dollars but I could still have used the money and time spent on this app elsewhere and I’m very disappointed. That being said I am also horrible technology, I just wanted I cute home screen and didn’t think it would be this difficult..Version: 1.5.1
✓ ExpensiveI downloaded this app for the music widgets and others as they seemed rlly cute but everything is expensive including premium which I thought was a massive rip off for what it is even the free stuff is basic and I could find better wallpapers on Pinterest but some stuff is cute..Version: 2.0.20
✓ Very cute but….I can’t sign via my Apple ID or TikTok because I don’t have if you were to do it by Google or Pinterest that would be amazing!!! Love all the designs even I can’t use them from that problem 🩷.Version: 2.0.13
✓ Wait never mindIf anyone sees the last review I made nvm, I solved the issue, but the app does randomly freeze.Version: 1.8.3
✓ IPod widget … what’s the problem?As soon and I bought the iPod widget and it was syncing and the music album cover was updating really quickly when I changed songs. Hasn’t even been 2 days since I bought the widget and it now doesn’t work anymore. It’s definitely still synced to Spotify but the widget is stuck on one song and doesn’t actually change the song. Highkey frustrated. Am I the only one?????.Version: 1.8.10
✓ I can’t sign in.So uh I don’t have an Apple ID thingy and I don’t have tik tok. Like it says it’s for 4+ so I’m confused. Really good idea though! I wish I could sign in to check it out!.Version: 2.0.15
✓ Scam.After cancelling my subscription, this app continuously tried to take money from my account. I have reported this issue many times and it has not being resolved, now resulting in me being unable to install any app. I should not have to pay the full amount for a subscription I cancelled in under 5 minutes, realising the app was not for me. You should be ashamed of yourselves for attempting to scam me. Resolve this issue..Version: 2.2.20
✓ Confusing.I can’t figure out how to instal the theme/app icons, the YouTube tutorial I watched didn’t help..Version: 1.8.19
✓ Idk……At first I liked this app because I could make widgets, and stuff like that but when I finished my design I had to pay for it. Your probably like “ duh of course u have to pay for it” and I know that but I think I shouldn’t have to pay for my own designi I made and I think the app shouldn’t sell my own design and doesn’t even give me profit but ik u have to get mone6 some way but what about ATLEAST having 5 or 4 free ones?.Version: 2.1.3
✓ NoI thought this app would be really good because it showed these really cool widgets. I didn't know you would have to pay for literally everything. This is a scam since barely anything is free. But it's so cute.Version: 2.2.20
✓ How do you install things without subscribingTheres an install without ads option but no install with ads?????.Version: 1.8.14
✓ Can't do anyI downloaded this app after many ads for it, excited for all of the different widgets. You physically cannot do anything on it without paying. It was advertised as free, but that's not the complete truth. I was advertised the IPod lyrics feature, as most have been. This feature was advertised as free. It's free if you have a subscription to the app. Why make an app free to download if you can't do anything on it without paying? The main target audience is clearly youth since adults don't use widgets. This is very poorly done.Version: 2.2.17
✓ So sadI downloaded this app because of all the great reviews. When I first opened the app, I could see all the different options but almost all the good ones you needed to pay for it. After some looking I decided to do i later. 2 months later, I opened the app to find that the moment you opened the app the add for the premium subscription pops up. Even though there is an option to close the pop up, it doesn’t work. I tried several times to close it and it never works. It probably didn’t happen to anyone else because of all the positive reviews. This would be such a great app if that didn’t happen to me. I hope it won’t happen to anyone else. ☺️.Version: 2.2.2
✓ Where are the widgets??Just bought the iPod pack. Got the photos but no widgets? Handy doesn’t appear in the widget list so i can’t choose a widget. Absolute waste of money. UPDATE: Reinstalled the app and widgets appeared..Version: 1.8.16
✓ WasteI bought one and I didn’t see it on my ipad.Version: 1.8.20
✓ Given up after too many crashesI really wanted to use this app, but during the icon linking process it crashes any time I exit the app to view my home screen, which is frustrating because I’m just trying to reference which apps I have on which screen. After every crash it doesn’t remember anything you put in previously. I tried three times, all ending in a crash, and ended up uninstalling. I would be able to use this app if the issue of not being able to leave the app while linking is fixed..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Great app although..I like this app it allows me to make cool looking home screens and add widgets but for some reason the widgets have stopped working and are blurred and say to pay to use them? It didn’t do this before and now it won’t even let me add widgets so good app great for making app icons had to use another app for widgets.Version: 2.2.8
✓ Good but..It’s a good app , but I signed in , closed the app , re-opened it and would refuse to let me log in again..Version: 1..8.11
✓ Stop making the subscription ad pop up SO OFTEN. Works but is extremely annoying. Might uninstallThe themes are cute and the app does work in terms of redesigning your phone theme for you, but the subscription ad that pops up on every other attempt to open an app is irritating enough to make me want to get rid of this app entirely. And the delay after redirecting to the shortcuts app, then to the subscription ad, then to the app you wanted to open gets old reaaaal fast especially when/if you’re trying to make an emergency text or call. I’m pretty sure the ad is meant to annoy you into submission so that you pay for them to stop blocking apps randomly with the useless ad before you can open it. I would consider buying the subscription just because it is THAT tiresome to deal with, but even then, it’s overpriced for what it is and I don’t want to pay an app company that tries to aggravate customers into paying for the company to stop annoying them. I can deal with not having full features or access to fancy widgets, themes, etc since they have to make money somehow, but for the love of god just GET RID OF THAT PERSISTENT AD. Going to start looking into other apps to replace this one soon..Version: 2.2.12
✓ Read before gettingIt has alot of cool stuff but damn all of them need joy club, find alternatives like widgetable or even widgetsmith..Version: 2.2.19
✓ I HATE THIS APPThis app is STUPID! It NEVER says that everything costs money. I lost $3,000 because of the stupid subscription that never told me I joined. WHAT THE HELL IS A 'JOY CLUB'!? This app has brought nothing but MISERY to anyone who values their time and money. Downloading this app felt like a fish in the mouth. If you are considering downloading, choose a different app, I beg of you. You're ancestors beg of you. And Andrew Garfield HIMSELF begs of you. Good Day..Version: 2.0.20
✓ Not worth itAlthough this app could be very useful, It doesn’t have anything available for people who can’t afford it, or do not want to pay. This can be very infuriating when you can not use the app unless you pay for it. My review is calm, but I really do hate this app..Version: 2.1.3
✓ My reviewIt’s overall good and everything is cute and all but to be real it’s very pricey and almost everything I come across cost money for some reason and like it said it can display lyrics for a dong you listen to, it’s true but that also cost money and a lot of people don’t have the money to make their phone aesthetic so yeah.Version: 2.2.20
✓ Simply doesn’t workBeen trying to change my icons all day, goes all the way to installing and just never finishes loading. Tried five or six times, different packs, I tried to get it to change just one just one icon, all requests accepted, double checked my Wi-Fi, I. Tried. EVERYTHING. The only thing I can get this app to do is show me adds. Convenient. 0/10, don’t waist your time. I manually added icons to my phone one at a time using a different app, took me an hour but this app was still ‘loading’..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Terrible appThe ad makes the app look great but you have to pay at least $5 for all of the themes or widgets in the ad and only free stuff are like 3 themes. Terrible.Version: 2.0.20
✓ Didn’t realise you have to pay for basically anythingAt this point it’s better to just find icons from pinterest or make your own. if you came from the ad about lyrics just look them up online i guess 😂.Version: 2.0.19
✓ Convenient but not a necessityIt was great and convenient at first to be able to support artist and find new ones for phone layouts but then it became tedious when the app would open a whole blank app before sending you to the actual app while still taking up space. I wouldn’t mind a one time payment to be able to use it all the time but $30 a year for just one device wasn’t that appealing to me and I figured I would just go back to doing the shortcuts myself.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Add Youtube Music plz..Can you please add Youtube Music to the ipod widget? I don’t have either Spotify or Apple music :(.Version: 1.9.0
✓ No. I want a refund.This app is horrible. Now don’t get me wrong, it’s super cute. I was actually super excited to add all the cute widgets but THEN all of a sudden it says “transcation owned by others” when I try to restore my subscription. What the HECK does that mean? That made me super upset and now my widgets are saying that my account no longer has access to the app. I will be very sure to comment on all social media platforms about this app. It’s an absolute scam and I just wasted my money on it. If I had known this app was gonna be completely useless I would have taken my money elsewhere..Version: 2.2.25
✓ Account creationUnfortunately I am not able to get pass the account creation screen. Network error or please try skip again..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good but…Really good app but there’s a lot of ifs and buts when you hit install and do the app stuff and then hit done it makes you go through ads you do the thing to set it up and it does nothing and then I have to redo it five more times just for more ads handy please take out the ads there’s you can’t really do anything the stuff except for the free stuff but there’s like five in the whole app and that’s why I gave it a two star bye✋😊.Version: 1.8.24
