Text Widget: Simplicity+

Simplicity+

About this app

Create custom text widgets and labels for your Android home screen. Choose fonts, text size and alignment for reminders, headings or personal notes. Simplicity+ keeps the original Text+ label widget alongside practical everyday tools.

MAKE YOUR HOME SCREEN YOURS
Create text labels, photo widgets, countdowns, clocks and counters. Free Text+ use includes five widgets; Pro adds unlimited widgets and premium customisation.

PREPARE IMAGES AND DOCUMENTS
Resize images, target a JPEG size in KB, convert formats or make PDFs. Capture a paper page with manual corner correction. Create QR codes and barcodes as PNG images, or read codes from photos.

WORK OUT THE NEXT STEP
Calculate percentages, prices, loan scenarios, savings goals, dates and measurement conversions. Business and student tools cover practical calculations with visible inputs and assumptions.

FIND TOOLS WITHOUT THE HUNT
Search by task, browse categories, keep favourites nearby and open related tools from a result.

Permissions are requested when a feature needs them. Scanner capture uses the camera; sound measurement uses the microphone. File and image tools use Android pickers. PDF manipulation uses raster pages and does not preserve searchable text, forms or links. Sound readings are estimates, not certified measurements.

Useful core tools are free. One global Pro upgrade unlocks the existing premium features and Batch Images expands from three to fifty images. Prices and purchase options are shown in the app.

Ratings and reviews

Very nice text widget, but the font size slider needs a displayed numerical value. It's very difficult to determine by eye if all the app group labels I'm making are the same size. Impossible for me, actually. I don't care how this is implemented in detail, but any numerical indication will do, as long as there are as many numerical values as there are distinct slider settings. I imagine the other sliders would benefit from this enhancement as well.

Font is not moveable from the center of the font box. Update.....FAIL. Regardless of what setting is used, text will not move from the vertical center. I have a long note and it will not all show up as it is forced to the center. And yes, I started from scratch.

I easily added 5 labels but can't seem to add more because the app keeps closing. Is the free version limited to five? I'm using a Samsung S23 Ultra.

What’s new

Improved widget recovery after restarting your device or updating the app. Fixed colour-picker crashes during screen recreation and crashes when saved background images are unavailable. Moved text-widget refresh work off the main thread.
