Nice Simple Widgets (Donation)

Sat, 02 Jun 2012 21:22:31 +0000

This is the donation key app for the Nice Simple Widgets family. By contributing a small amount, you can enjoy the ad-free versions of all my Nice Simple Widget apps and encourage further development of updates / new apps.

*** This app is not a functional widget app itself. Instead, it is an add-on that removes the ads of my widget apps. You need to download and install the supported widget(s) separately. ***

Currently, the supported widgets are:

Nice Simple Clock (version 1.6.0 or newer)
Nice Simple Battery (version 1.4.0 or newer)
Nice Simple Photo Widget (all versions)

More may come and this donation app will continue to work for them as well! :)

Please note that you do not need to uninstall the existing widget app(s). In fact, you should keep the installation of them.

After installing this donation app, all the Nice Simple Widgets will become ad-free automatically.

For example, by installing both the Nice Simple Clock app and this donation app, you will essentially have an ad-free version of the Nice Simple Clock app.

Thanks for your support! :)
