Comments on Minimalistic Text: Widgets for Android

★★★★★ David Hemingway · Jun 15, 2023
As a designer, I love this app. I've had it for a few years on different phones and always come back to it. It can be a bit of a learning curve but if you put the time in you can design all sorts of cool text-based widgets rather than the usual overly-complicated and customizable widgets. Hats off to the designer.
★★★★★ john kilian · Nov 1, 2019
Been using for years best apk of its kind dev can we get a widget occupancy setting that would really expand what you could do
★★★★★ Kyle Gusek · Jan 8, 2023
Awesome app. Thanks for everything. This has to be one of the first widget apps I ever downloaded, I must have had it on every android I've ever owned. Sure the UI is a bit dated now by most standards, but I've always appreciated the level of customization and that it "just works". Thanks for developing this. It will be a sad day when it's no longer supported on a future phone.
★☆☆☆☆ Aaron Abrams · Sep 29, 2019
Adding TTF fonts to a system font folder to use in global settings does not work. It used to work in the past. I have tried numerous different fonts with no luck. Contacted the developer with a detailed description and have received zero response yet, and it's been a couple of weeks. Seems like the developer does not care about their app or app users.

Time zones menu is buggy and can't select any time zone not even default
★☆☆☆☆ Brandon M · Feb 13, 2020
Seem to be buggy, when I would turn my phone on, the text will get super huge. When I restart my phone, it goes back to normal. Uninstalled and will look for something else. The interface needs improving. Really need to simplify it.
★☆☆☆☆ rayleighscattering · Sep 11, 2022
Suspicious app, I have another app that functions just like this, the other app needed NO permissions at all whilst Minimalistic Test asked for three, including access to files, calendar (Basically what you're going to do the entire month), and. Location? After I granted them the app made me restart my device by not allowing me to delete the app and hold on other apps as well. Fun fact: The other app handles its job perfectly but only has one widget. Bloody unbelievable
★☆☆☆☆ Brady Follett (TheElvenKeys) · Feb 23, 2022
Why does a text app need my location and calendar?

Description by Devmil Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way.
It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable through the layout editor.
