Comments on Folder Widget - Large Folders for Android
★★★★☆Unemployed Eng.· Apr 24, 2026
Great App I would love to see an "App Drawer" folder, a folder that had all to you apps by default. In addition to that a folder that contain apps not apart from any other folder. Many launcher allow you to disable the app drawer. It would be nice if I could remove my app drawer from my launcher and still have a way to access app not organized in widgets.
★★★★☆I Slide Silly :3· Sep 12, 2025
Been loving this so far since it's really easy to organize my stuff. My only issue is that you can't add custom shortcuts from the home screen or any shortcuts from the home screen. It's kinda frustrating since I wanted some custom icons in the folders but can only do that with premium through the app by customizing the icon itself for the folder. Other than that the widgets and their customization options are really cool. (sorry for the writing if it's bad as English isn't my first language)

I like the app, but my Norton 360 said that malware was detected with my Folder Widget app. So, out of an abundance of caution, I uninstalled it; that's what Norton 360 said I should do.

I would easily give it a five star, but there are two problems, first: there is no option to select all the apps to add in the widget. Second: there is no option to edit or control the number of rows and columns when opening the folder.

I have the pro version and the app does not apply my custom icons (Icon Pack Studio)
★☆☆☆☆Chantelle Stroebel· Mar 4, 2026
The app just stopped working today. I have been using this for so long, and my phone had a lot of customized stacked folder widgets, which have now all gone. So frustrating and annoying. Seriously considering not renewing my subscription
★☆☆☆☆Nikita Young Johnson· Nov 30, 2025
I created some icons and placed the icons on the home screen. I tried to use your wedge developer by creating wedge on the home screen and drag my incons into the wedge. The icons won't go inside the wedge. I am unable to get my icons from the app section to check marked the icons into the custom wedge. The icons are from folder 📂 created and shortcuts placed on home screen. How can I place these shortcuts on the home screen wedge?
