Hidgets

Very well designed widgets, a wide choice of different metrics to display and a very responsive and dedicated developer. Thank you.

I can’t add widgets on iOS 17, and the help / tutorial buttons stop responding after the first use. When visiting hidgets.com via the app support button, I get redirected from product hunt to a scam website.

Shame. It was great while it lasted

Title

I realize it states in the description that the update frequency is controlled by IOS not the app. That still means using this app may not be the best option if you want frequent updates. Viewing heart rate during exercise, for example, does not work particularly well.

I wasted $2.99 on this app which has virtually no support for or documentation.

Look, the author of this app isn’t playing the hype game very well: it’s a one time purchase and it’s updated infrequently. What those things don’t tell you is this: The app just works. It works fabulously. You should get this if you want an app that you pay for once and can reliably show your health stats in a widget.

Good idea, well designed but flaws. For long term stats it’s not a problem (distance, calories), but for things like HR that require constant updating, the widget is practically useless. It’s reporting HR from minute’s ago when I’m ahead in another HR zone.

This app is great, but doesn’t allow you to track TOTAL calories (I.e. the combination of what the Health app refers to as Active and Resting calories). Apple buries this total calories number within the fitness app (see subtext under Move calories in the day overview), but this third-party app is not designed to replicate that number in a widget. This is something that should be easily addressed.

Widgets look beautiful.
