Hey everyone, I made an app that replicates popular iOS widgetsmith widgets, stock iOS widgets and custom iOS widgets as well! Link to the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ioswidgetsmith.kustom.pack
The app is called Widgetsmith for KWGT
Screenshots of some of the widgets:
There will be no ads and I will be updating it every week or so.

Is the screen refresh rate going to be a deciding factor for you guys? Would you ever consider a high end phone that comes with a 60hz panel, such as the iphone?(disregarding the android v ios debate)...

Ok hear me out - Pixel 5 Pro

TLDR; Samsung Internet is serious competition to chrome on mobile, and works just as we...
