Almost perfect Great widget! But the orientation toggle only keeps the horizontal position on my galaxy tab s 10.5. It would be great if it would keep the orientation that i currently have!, e.g. also vertical. So that if i toggle the orientation button my tablet still is in the vertical orientation. Thanks!

Very useful I use this on my phone and my tablet, I like the options, transparency, colour and choice of buttons and ability to choose their order. I just wish Android would allow access for power control apps to switch the 3G on/off, instead of having a shortcut to settings. This shortcut goes to the second level of 3G options (where roaming and data always-on options are located) instead of the first level where it can be turned on/off. I can't use the back button to get to the first level because going back takes me back to the screen with the Power Widget. This means I no longer use the Power Widget 2G/3G on/off button. Everything else is great so I present you with an award (cue drum roll...) of 5 stars! :D

Great widget. The only thing missing is a way to toggle Wi-Fi Hotspot mode. It says "designed for phones" in the description but it works great on the Nexus 7.
★★☆☆☆
Crashes on my nexus 4 First time you set it up works great, if you try to add or remove a toggle it will crash and the option your using (in my case 4x1) wont be enable again, i have uninstall and reinstall the app again since clearing cache, data or forcing stop wont fix it.
★★☆☆☆
Needs work I tried this as an alternative to another switch widget I was using. The color and skin options are nice, but unfortunately the mobile data switch doesn't have administrative rights. I usually turn off mobile data when using WiFi at home, but the extra clicks needed on this becomes a nuisance. My previous switch widget was able to toggle it with one click. I think I'll go back to that. Also, my Tasker profiles stopped working after installing this app. Not sure if this was the problem, but Tasker worked again after uninstalling this.

13 permissions
Subscribe to see full permission and library details
Trust & Safety: The app requests a broad set of system permissions (e.g., WRITE_SETTINGS, CHANGE_WIFI_STATE, CHANGE_CONFIGURATION, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, BLUETOOTH, WAKE_LOCK, etc.). These are typical for a widget that controls device settings but do not involve accessing user data like contacts or location. Users should review the permission list in the context of its feature set (quick toggles and background changes) and ensure installation from trusted sources.
