Ratings and reviews

I really like it's abilities, but it feels like there are some unnecessary limitations. I am using it to monitor a web widget that tracks my heart rate, but there is a hard limit of updating only every 5 minutes, which makes it useless for me. I understand it would drain the battery, but please give me the option to update at any interval I want, even seconds. I can manage my own battery :(

Great! I have a portfolio on Public but they don't have a live widget yet and I hate having to open the app just to get a quick look at my investments, but, with the help of this app I was able to create my own "live" widget (auto-uodating every 5 minutes) to view my investments right on my home screen! It's as simple as copying/pasting the browser link! There are some ads, but they're little bar ads within the actual app, nothing occludes your widget! Great job!

This is a powerful app and it's completely free! You can pretty much load up any website into a widget, and there are tons of options. I was looking for a way to show cells from a Google sheet as a widget and this did the job perfectly. The ads are not in the widget and not a problem. I would pay for all the features it has. Awesome support: When I first installed it, I was having trouble creating my first widget. Developer responded within minutes and solved my problem.

What's new
