Ratings and reviews

Really easy to use and intuitive to make your own widgets. I only wish that the tutorials were a bit more extensive and that you have the ability to have images change by the time of day.

The app keeps crashing every time I try to change my settings. It's a new app I get it. I hope it gets fixed soon. I want to integrate the skins I made in uccw but again I don't know if thats possible or if it can be done at all. The app keeps crashing.

Requires a bit of technical know how, but is pretty dang powerful and impressive. If you're not gonna geek out about custom formulas based on system variables though... You may not have as much fun with this as I did. Only note, though, is I can't get the media pause variable to detect Spotify playing music.
