Review summary

Users appreciate Video Widget for its beautiful design and customization options, including video resizing, enhancing their home screen. However, multiple reviews highlight frequent lagging, loading issues, and the app stopping unexpectedly. A significant limitation is the short permissible video length, frustrating users. Additional feature requests include pause/play controls, sound options, and shape customization. Some users also report permission and uploading difficulties, affecting usability.

Pros

Allows resizing of the video widget to fit the screen space
Provides an aesthetic, beautiful design for the home screen
Simple and effective, does exactly what it promises without unnecessary features
Users find it amazing and useful for personalizing their device

Cons

Frequent lagging and video playback is not smooth
Video widget stops working often and sometimes gets stuck loading after restart
Limited video length (around 5-30 seconds), which many users find too short
Lack of features such as pause/play, mute/unmute, and changing video widget shape
Issues with permissions and uploading videos

2026-08-15	In*****	If I'm going to be forced to use a wallpaper through the app, I'd at least like to be able to adjust the wallpaper to the phone. Definitely not worth $40/year when other video widget apps offer a lifetime purchase for $20 and without needing to upload a wallpaper for the app to work properly.

2026-08-12	Sk*****	pretty nice and simple app, however the gifs will often freeze, and will stay like that unless they are pressed, by which they will unfreeze.

2026-08-04	Re*****	listen, i NEVER rate apps (like once in a blue moon) but this deserves 5 stars because.. it does what is says it'd do without millions of adds. IT LET'S YOU PLAY AUDIO TOO. 10/10, for the people that literally JUST want a widget to display a vid of theirs and nothing more.
