Ratings and reviews

It doesn't work at all. I open the app and only see a screen with the text: "Can't Start. AiWidget is installed but too old to connect to - its preview didn't respond. Please update AiWidget and restart." I've done everything to make it work, but couldn't fix it.

Needs improvement in understanding what users want because the prompt should be hyper crystal star shining clear for it make something that could be properly functional. But if we are able to do that it's good. Just created an F1 schedule widget for myself. Pretty good so far. Also note for the devs of the app, include the blur effects across the entire app consistently like the nothing website because it looks cool.

After successful install, opening Essential Apps just says "Couldn't reach Essential Apps. Check your connection and try again." - doing so did not prove successful.
