My Widgets 2.0
These are little app extensions that you can enjoy by getting various types of info from them. Whether it’s something you need to remember, a notification about your favorite stocks or the weather, these are mighty useful to have around.
Customize your device
The Today view on your device can be customized to some extent by enabling various widgets from the apps you have installed on your phone. Alternatively, you can get an app such as My Widgets which gives you access to a lot more features and gives you the chance to actually customize the way the Today view looks like.
All you’ll have to do, of course, is add My Widgets to the list in the Today view and go on to customize it all. There are plenty of widget types you can pick from, some of which are free and some for which you’ll have to pay a few bucks to unlock.
For instance, you’ll be able to add in any notes you may want to create, such as a reminder to buy groceries, or a Decision helper, which is basically a way to randomly pick whether you’re going to go through a specific experience. Sure, betting on chance for this isn’t exactly ideal, but in those few seconds while the app decides between “yes” and “no” you’ll know what you wish would happen, so at least there’s that.
You can also add in a counter, a calendar widget, a shortcut to the photo gallery, a clock, a way to take an audio note or horoscope information. You may also check out the photo, quote or joke of the day.
Check out the results
Once you’ve set up one of the three Widget pairings, you’ll be able to view them all in the Today panel. What’s more, you’ll be able to interact with them, such as to use the decision helping tool or to adjust the counter.
The app is pretty nice and it’s fully customizable, meaning that you can adjust the way each of these widget looks by picking the colors, buttons, font and so on.
All in all, My Widget is a nice app. Even though you’ll have to pay to have access to most of these features, it’s still a great tool to have around to make the Today space more of your own.
