How to use:

For newer versions of Android (e.g. 4.0), you may drag and drop a Nice Simple Photo item from the Widgets tab of your app list to the home screen. You may refer to this demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXAWx7gsJ-o
For older versions (e.g. 2.3.3) you can long press (i.e. tap and hold) on any empty space on your home screen, then select Widgets and choose a Nice Simple Photo item.
Different items correspond to different widget sizes.
Tapping the widget will open the configuration screen. You can configure the widget and browse the photos which are in the same directory of the currently selected photo there. You can add more than one "Nice Simple Photo Widget" to your home screen and each of them can have its own unique appearance settings.
*NOTE* If the photo does not update properly, please exclude this widget from any task killer app that you might be using. You can also try to remove this widget from your homescreen and add it back again, and see if it solves the problem.

Great on older phones, no ads. Simple easy to use. I love it! I only gave a 4 star instead of 5 because developers need to update to run on latest Android platforms. Lost my photo on the latest Samsung update. Developers, please update.
★★★★★
Works fine on my phone. Best simple photo widget I've found, since I had to upgrade my phone. I only do updates when something stops working.
★★★★★
Perfect. Best widget I could find. Update: Unfortunately with the latest nova launcher the pictures are often not shown.
★★☆☆☆
The widget no longer works. I loved this app and have used it for years but no updates since 2016 and now it doesn't work. I will update my rating if it gets fixed at some point
★★☆☆☆
This app was fantastic, but like others are saying, the new Android update broke it. Picture is technically there but invisible. Defeats the purpose of the app. I'd love to see the developers fix this problem even though it's not their fault, since this really is one of the best photo widget apps out there
★★☆☆☆
Stopped Working, every time an update comes out the photos disappear. Very frustrating. Used to work great, now not so much.
