★★★★★
Solid app, does what it's supposed to do. It would be great if the app would support more than one image, and allow us to move the images around the entire screen and then have several other images on the same widget. I would definitely pay for it.
★★★★★
Super simple, works great Super simple and does exactly what it describes. K.I.S.S
★★★★★
Exactly what I needed and works as expected. It would be nice if it could - open URL on widget tap - complex update schedules, like: Mon-Fri, from 9am to 5pm, every 20 minutes
★★☆☆☆
Lacking options.. Can't be sized less than 4 spaces width. No option to grab picture from link in RSS summary so widget just shows the low quality thumbnail instead of high quality picture.
★★☆☆☆
Stopped working recently I'm disappointed. This app worked well for a long time but hasn't been working for the last couple of weeks. The images won't refresh anymore. I freed up memory, deleted unused apps, etc., but the images only refresh when I restart my phone.
