User Reviews

Users praise Photo Widget for easy setup, using personal photos and albums, and rich customization (dates, titles, shuffle). However, reliability is a recurring problem: widgets stop rotating or stop working after updates. Color/tint issues (grayscale or tinted photos) are common, and some reviews raise privacy concerns about data collection. Ads appear after updates for some users, though others report an ad-free experience. A frequent wishlist includes multiple widgets on screen and more date-format options. Overall, strong concept with valuable features but problematic reliability and privacy concerns.
Pros
  • Allows using your own photos and albums on the widget, with shuffle.
  • Easy to use with clear instructions and a simple interface.
  • Extensive customization options (photos, albums, dates, and titles) for the widget.
  • Mostly ad-free experience with free features.
Cons
  • After updates, the widget often stops working or stops rotating photos (stuck on one image).
  • Color and tint issues; photos can appear grayscale or tinted due to tint mode or iOS updates.
  • Ads introduced or increased in updates; users want the ability to remove ads.
  • Privacy concerns about data collection from photos used for advertisers.
  • Limitation to a single widget on screen; cannot add multiple widgets.

Had for years, used to always have photos of my deceased cat on my Home Screen. Recently had a text banner overlaid on the image, so I click to try and disable… and am prompted to subscribe. Two qualms: -The “Most Popular” option is 3 days free, then $4/week… or $208/year. Right below it is $25/year. Misleading with the highlighted top option and hoping folks just click it cause it’s the most popular. -Below both options is “Continue for Free”… I’ve been using the app for free for years, so I click that. And it prompts me to start paying for the $4/week version. Great app up until this misleading and predatory attempt.

Used free for years with no ads… ridiculous to charge to put my own photos on my homescreen. Will be deleting ASAP
