WidgetPod - Music Widget

The widget barely works. its always on the wrong song and never allows me to pause even though the settings were all set correctly. I decided to remove it but realized that this scummy app wont let me end my subscription. unbelievable...

This app is literally everything. As a Spotify user, there aren’t many widgets to display on my apple devices, unlike Apple Music widgets. This app helpfully bridges the gap between the two apps in terms of personalization. The only feature I wish we had was the ability to make Lock Screen widgets. Aside from this, the app is literally heaven sent, my device displays have never looked better!!!

it doesn’t show the music or change it and it doesn’t even change the widget when i change it in the app….

it doesn't work with spotify at all, the widget doesn't even refresh when i click it. the widget freezes and won't work unless you uninstall app then reinstall again. eventually, it'll freeze all over again.

Suddenly the widgets no longer function. They refer you to the app and it will not even open. Now I read that it is a subscription service. That is ridiculous for an app that always had difficulty updating whenever the new song played. This app now provides zero value.

I am giving 2 stars because I was genuinely happy with this product but I can’t stand scummy subscription business practices. I have used this app for the past year and while it was not being updated consistently it would still function after making the one time purchase of $3.99. Unfortunately I noticed that the app was sold to a company that now wants to monetize it at $8.99 a week, and this really disappointed me as a longtime user. I recommend to anyone who has not updated to the 3.1.0 update to never update it again!!

I really like the app but like many people I get frustrated sometimes that it does not refresh by itself, it seems like it is bc of an IOS feature but other widgets I have (like my Pinterest) widget refreshes automatically after a certain period of time, BUT a small hack to refreshing without having to open the app entirely is to tap the vinyl/song picture, it will refresh and replace the old song with the one currently playing without redirecting you through the WidgetPod and Spotify apps.

Great app if you’re looking for a music playing widget

I’m not one to leave abrasive reviews, but I’m pretty frustrated that I just wasted $4 to find out that the app’s widget does not refresh on its own. What is the point of having the widget if it doesn’t automatically update? I have to tap it or open the app to get it to communicate with the music service. Sure would have been great to know this before wasting my money.
