Widget Wizard 4+

Best Free Widget for Health Stats

I have used a few different widgets for health stats (steps, calories burned/consumed/net, etc.) and this gives the info I need in a FREE widget. The developer has been very responsive on Reddit and added new features and squashed some bugs pretty quickly. Even though I get extract what I needed for free, I’m paying the one-time $3.99 Pro fee (thank you for not making it subscription) to support the developer for being quick at adding new feature requests and debugging. Minus one-star because it’s not super easy to figure out at first, but once you understand how to use it, easy enough. Also minus a star because it’s primarily just for day view. Not historical viewing of data. Would be nice to compare yesterday to today, but the 14-day graph is useless with no X or Y labels.

Take back everything I said before!

Update: The developer has made some significant improvements to the app. It now has a permanent place on my home screen. I’ve got a few thoughts that might help to improve it further, but I’m impressed with all this app has to offer.

Developer responded, says he is working on these issues. Thanks! I’ll be keeping an eye on this app’s progress. Definitely has potential.

This app has some issues making it difficult to recommend. I mainly want the widget to show me general reminders and my upcoming events. The latter works well. Reminders needs work. I can’t see a way to select which reminders list is chosen to view. Also, click on a reminder and you go to the agenda screen. No way to delete any reminders without going to the built-in reminders app, and if you edit or delete the reminder there, you have to reopen this widget app to see the update. I might as well just use the Apple reminders app. Regretting spending money on this one :(

Developer Response ,

I hear you! Rest assured everything you listed is stuff that I plan to resolve in future updates. It’s a big task so it might take a bit of time, but it’s on the roadmap!

The best widget app I’ve used

This app is phenomenal. The controls and settings are super simple to use and extremely well thought out. There are tons of options for widget sizes and layouts, the customization options are beautifully barebones and give full control without overcomplicating things.

The shining accomplishment of this app though is undoubtedly the developer. They respond super quickly to inquiries or bug reports, listen to their users and work to integrate things their user base might like to see and genuinely seem to appreciate and use the feedback they receive to make their app the best it can be. The saying “you can’t please everyone” might have been true in the past but this dev is definitely trying to disprove it.

Excellent app, excellent developer.
