Photo Widget — The Best One

You know that space in your wallet for a photo or two? You might stick a photo of your loved one there or in another part of your wallet hidden away until you pull it out? This app kinda feels like that. I don’t have a hundred photos in rotation, just a couple on each widget. There’s something authentic about it and sometimes I forget that the widgets are there and so when I swipe to those pages and see them it gives me a sense of joy. As far as technical features go, I like that the app allows me to choose photos from the Files app file system because I don’t want those same photos to get lost in the Camera Roll because they’re extra special to me.

This user-friendly photo widget app has no ads or complications. Users have full control over which photos to display, actions when tapping on the widgets, customization options to show one photo or a full album, and more. You don’t have to create an account or sign up. Just create an iCloud shared album and download the app on all your devices. Then, add a photo widget to your home screen, set it to display photos from the iCloud album. As a college student, sticky notes are essential for saving math formulas, physics equations, and semester schedules. I haven’t found a sticky note app good enough, but this photo widget can replace sticky notes and do much more. Now I can see all my sticky notes from my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook.

Where do I begin? This app is simply fantastic. When you first open the app you are greeted with a miniature, optional tutorial on how to setup a photo for your widget. The guide for setting up widgets with this app is very simple to follow for those unaware with the process. Adding images is super easy and changing/creating new photo widgets is a breeze. On top of having amazing simplicity and elegance enclosed within such a minimalistic app, unlike other, similar apps, the developer has made it so that no data is collected from the app, which makes the experience of this app that much better. And to add a cherry to the top of the Ice Cream Sundae that is this app, the developer kindly offers this app free with no ads. Definitely a must have app if you want to display your favorite photos on your Home Screen!
