StrangerThInGs FOR LIFE😘

Ok first off, i LOVEEE this app. It let me customize my phone amaziglyyy. I now have a hybrid phone which consists of My Hero Academia and Harry Potter 😅But anyways, onto the suggestion. I think you should be able to customize the shapes and sizes of widgets. I have one page that (if i could customize the size of a widget) would be perfect with another widget of Tsuyu! I’m just saying that we could benefit from you adding a customizable widget option for us to use becuase I feel like it would really make a difference with how our phones look. Anyways, if the creators of this game just so happen to see this comment and maybe even respond saying they’ll consider this type of widget I’d like them to know I think that if they added this they would gain more money and more good ratings for the game. Just sayin. 🤷🏾‍♀️ And one last thing, I feel like the medium widgets should be expanded vertically (at least a little bit) becuase i personally Can never fit any picture into it. It always cuts something off. Where as the small widget and the large widget always fit the whole image. These are just a few suggestions for the suggestion box, and if you’ve read all the way thank you :) I hope you consider these updates and hopefully we can see them in the near future! I know that programming is very VERY hard becuase I do coding myself so if we don’t see hear updates I don’t blame you 😅 I know how tough it is to meet everyone’s wants and I know you probably have a lot more suggestions other than mine. You may not ever read them all, so I know there’s a small chance you’ll read mine. Anyways, if your still reading I hope you have an amazing day/night!!-Enzo❤️

Can’t exactly customize

So my friend uses this and says it’s good so that’s why I gave you some stars I personally haven’t used this because of what I will tell you. So the thing is I want this specific picture right but when I try to make it it only gives me a certain selection like favorites recents etc. but the problem is when I click it, it inserts a random photo from that category and that’s not what I want I want specific photos. I tried to go to the help settings but the videos are out dated the set up of the app it had is not the set up it is now and basically what I got from one of the videos is you can’t chose the picture it randomly choses for you. I want control over my pictures I mean the whole point is to be able to customize your widgets right? Also when I looked in the help section I found something that could help but these help instructions are outdated the set up isn’t the same I tried to follow the instructions but it said after going to default one scroll down to custom section but I scrolled there’s no custom section anymore. So If this is an option and I just don’t know or either you could make it an option that would be great! And if you could update the help instructions and videos that would also be great because if it is an option I would like to select certain photos and the instructions now can’t help because there outdated and it’s not well helping. So if you can help out here thank you!!

Locking new functionality behind a subscription is very disappointing

Before the latest version, the things in the app that were locked behind a monthly subscription were either aesthetic (themes/fonts) or things that cost money on the server end (weather). Both completely reasonable, as they were intended to cover the actual costs of the service or were non-functional things that were just nice perks if you want to support the developer.With the iOS 17 update, the whole update is now behind the monthly subscription, meaning you don’t get to use any new features or functions unless you’re paying every month for the privilege. I’m sorry, I just think that’s completely unreasonable. A one-time IAP to unlock the new features would be completely fine—the developer deserves to be compensated for his work and I believe STRONGLY in supporting developers. But to pay every month just to access basic functionality (namely interactive widgets) that doesn’t require server-end costs simply isn’t reasonable, and I feel obligated to say that and review the app accordingly. Obviously the developer has the right to do as he pleases, but I also have the right to express my disappointment and frustration with his decision.It’s a shame, because this is a great app that had a really fantastic and fair monetization scheme before, and the developer is a pillar in the iOS development community. I just can’t justify paying a fee every month in perpetuity for these new features and it’s disappointing this is the route the app has gone down.

Locking new functionality behind a subscription is very disappointing

Alright so I have never written a review so please forgive me(anyways). So basically I have this thing called time limits and it’s when my parents limit me to be able to stay on for so long. (I only have 3 hours). And basically I can do this thing where I get one more minute. So I hit the button for one more minute to make more widgets quickly. I got through two widgets and on my third one my time went up. Not a big deal I just have to wait till the next day to do it. So I had everything planned out and how I wanted my screen to look. So I woke up and went to add the widget and it came up and it was completely blank. So I clicked on the widget and tried to change it to other widgets and some worked. But others didn’t. So I proceed do delete the app. I added it back and then I made some more widgets. And once again it came up blank. Again I clicked on the widget to change it to a differ t one and it said something around the lines of, “no options available after this.” So it didn’t let me put my new ones in. I loved the app when it worked but this is really difficult. I still haven’t gotten it to work. If there is anything I can do to fix it I NEED TO KNOW. I love this app and I want to be able to use it again. I don’t now if I did something to make it work this way. I also don’t know if it was because of my time limit or what. Don’t do what I did though. Either way other than what happened to me I would recommend the app. It’s super nice and really make my screen look super cute. Please send me back something or reply because I want to be able to fix it. Thanks.
