Comments on Cell Widget for Android

★★★★★ Yansen Novia · May 13, 2021
Nice Apps, thank you very much. How to costumize with clf data? Importing clf always failed and can not find the exported clf data. Do you have any sample standard clf that working with these apps? Thank you
★★★★★ Kanaka Gunatilake · Apr 4, 2020
Great app. I was looking for this for a long time. It would be great if you can enhance the app to display cell broadcast messages as well. Then the app is more complete.
★★★★☆ Shazli Nut · Feb 7, 2020

★★★★☆ Alxias Pidier · Jul 13, 2020
So simple to use, doesn't consume data. Please fix gsm band, it shows band 1800(1800) instead of example. Band 1(1800). The settings sometimes not responding. Widget not responding after I change the widget action to reload. Need to open the app.
★★☆☆☆ jbase44 · Oct 11, 2025
Info on SIM1 only, haven't found a way to switch to SIM2 info
★★☆☆☆ Jason Walker · Sep 19, 2021
After recent update on note 9s mi, no longer shows any cell data on Widget aside from carrier name. Android 11.
★☆☆☆☆ Will o Gringo · Jan 30, 2021
Updated and now no information (only the carrier name) is displayed on my Android 11 device, even though all permissions have been given. Was working without a problem before this last update.
★☆☆☆☆ Ju-eng Ling · Feb 20, 2020
Worked great till update to Android 10. Now I can place the widget but no value is shown. Just a black box. Useless. Back to old version which works just fine! 02/20: still nothing after today's update.
