" Useful home screen widgets ! "

The application has not yet detailed description, however the team assigned the note of 8 / 10. This note is based on the following criteria: Quality, Usefulness, Ease of Use, Privacy Concerns of user data (depending on the permissions required)..

The app is compatible from version 2.1 of Android. Any supperior OS version will support it.

Its weight is light enough, less than ten MB (4 MB exactly) are needed to save to their device and use it.

Its number of downloads in the Android Market (Google Play) makes it an extremely popular application and rightly so. More than a million users are using it on mobile or on touch pad.

Negative review Plz fix by anonym
Facebook widget won't show anything quit updating may 4th and now it's just blank. I tried logging out then back in and rebooted my phone but nothing will show. Please fix verizon galaxy note 2. Thanks 2/5
Neutral review Not quite what I wanted. by anonym
I got this for the SMS list widget. I wanted to use it with widgetlocker to see my new SMSes immediately on my lock screen. It only works sometimes; usually I have to manually update. Also, I wish it would show only unread messages. 3/5
Negative review Sorry Guys by anonym
Bought and used this for Facebook. You guys need to update your program to ensure compatibility. For now, it is a paid app that doesn't do what I paid for it to. 2 stars 2/5
Negative review Not happy by anonym
Doesn't work as well after the lolipop update 2/5
Negative review No joy galaxy s5 by anonym
Facebook widget Does not display anything, no status updates, nothing from the feed, not even my own posts. Manually refreshed..no luck. 1/5
Neutral review Starting to look a bit dated.. by anonym
Not much development anymore. I loved this app so much.. though i have moved on to Wizz Widget now. Thanks for the memories! 3/5
Negative review This is why I refuse to pay for apps any longer! by anonym
Another piece of abandonware! They won't fix bugs, offer support for lollipop or marshmallow. Google should remove these abandoned apps from the play store. So people can't pay and waste money on a useless app! 1/5
Positive review Great widgets by anonym
I've been using these for years but it's a shame Facebook cut off access to the news feed. Along with Twitter, this was the main widget I used. Never gave any problems and hopefully the Facebook feed will come back soon. 4/5
Positive review Still not working properly on kk note 4. by anonym
Latest chrome update has killed bookmarks widget 4/5
Negative review No more bookmarks by anonym
Got a new phone with OS 5.01. Bookmarks no longer work. Facebook no longer works. Five stars if it gets fixed 2/5
Negative review Not fully working! by anonym
Facebook widget no longer works. Please fix and update for 5 stars!! 1/5
Neutral review Dev probably on it by anonym
I'm hoping its just due to early days of Lollipop or Facebook changes. Hope you find a way around this. Was my everyday app. 3/5
Negative review Bad support by anonym
I'm a registered user for a long time and have been happy using this app. Now I need support on an issue I'm having with the Facebook widget not updating. First I wrote a review with my problem on Goolge Play which gave me no feedback. Then I've tried several times on email to the developer without any luck. This is not good. Developer, if you read this I would really like you to get back to me so I can get some help on the problem I'm having with your app. Thank you. 1/5
Neutral review Was once awsome by anonym
But is slowly becoming obsolete, I only ever used the Calender Facebook & Twitter widgets but now the two socials are not supported so they can force there own very poor advert riddled offerings down our throats ( widgets still available in app) it's kind of a pointless install. Such a shame this dev hasn't seen this coming and diversified the app to compensate. G+? 3/5
Neutral review All things must pass :-( by anonym
I've used APW for a few years now. One of my main reasons for using APW was its ability to provide access to my Facebook newsfeed offering a far superior experience compared to the standard Facebook widget.. Sadly, from the beginning of May, Facebook decided that 3rd party apps can no longer retrieve your newsfeed thereby effectively killing off a stream of apps that performed this function far better than FB (which, let's face it, isn't difficult). Despite the loss of FB some may still have a reason to use APW: It still provides useful calendar, bookmark, contacts and Twitter widgets, but for many, APW is now broken. For all the years that I've used it, APW probably deserves 4 or 5 stars, but, in its battered and broken state, it is now only worth about 1 or 2 stars, so my rating reflects the average over the years that I've used it. I'm sure that many are upset and angered by the loss of Facebook functionality (although you can still access your timeline and post updates). Personally, I'm not angry with APW, as it's not their fault. Instead, I shall be posting a review of the Facebook app asking why, after so many years they still can do a half decent Android widget 3/5
Negative review Crap by anonym
No longer loads content for Android 5.1 Lollypop. Bummer. Use to love this app. Now it's just frustrating as hell. Nexus 6 owners don't waste your time. 1/5
Negative review by anonym
Was a great application. Paid for PRO to get Timeline to do Twitter/Facebook at the same time. The Facebook integration broke because of a change on the Facebook side. Here in the comments I had to learn that, definitely not from the developer. It is not mentioned anywhere and their screenshots still advertise the feature as being included.They advertise it here and on their official website. So One star due to false advertising. 1/5
Positive review Used to love... by anonym
Facebook is the problem, not this app. Facebook sucks. And the main reason I used & bought this was to post to Twitter and FB at the same time quickly from my home screen. FB- u suck. You guys did a great job with this though. I have been using for Yeats. Unfortunately FB just ruined that for me 5/5
Negative review This is crap by anonym
Been using this for a while, everything used to work, now I can't even use themes wtf, if you're not going to update then remove this sh*t from the play store. 1/5
Neutral review Facebook Widget by anonym
Facebook widget on my LG Optimus G pro desktop displays msg updated but the feed is completely empty. Pls correct this issue immediately. 3/5
Positive review Great Suite of Widgets by anonym
Excellent tools. I love the calendar and messaging widgets. Not a huge fan of social media, so I can't comment on those widgets. I wish there was a notes/memo/task widget that synced with gmail tasks. Developer updates quickly to keeps bugs minimal. 5/5
Neutral review by anonym
Facebook widget no longer updating properly on lollipop, it's only showing around 10 posts at any given time. 3/5
Positive review Best looking by anonym
Sorry you're getting so much hate for something that's Facebook's fault. Here's your 5 star review you deserve. Love the calendar and messaging. Looks so slick with right theme 5/5
Negative review Useless now by anonym
Used this for years so I could have easy access to my bookmarks and calendar.. A year ago it stopped retrieving bookmarks from the stock browser and I had to start to use chrome. Now doesn't do it either. Uninstalled till it gets fixed. 1/5
Negative review No more Facebook widget by anonym
Sadly the FB widget part of this app no longer works thanks to changes by FB. Still good for a Twitter widget but I hate to lose that quick glance at my timeline. 3 stars for functionality but minus 1 for no FB support. 2/5
Neutral review Twitter widget broken by anonym
Still haven't fixed Twitter widget, won't upload images. Will switch widgets if not fixed since I only use apw for twitter 3/5
Negative review Abandoned app by anonym
The widgets no longer function properly under Lollipop or CM12. Themes do not work outside from the stock theme. App has not been updated in over 6 months. 1/5
Negative review Awesome by anonym
Not their fault I guess but the Facebook widget was the only one I used and it no longer works. Pretty much useless to me now as there's much better calendar widgets out there 2/5
Positive review Developer always fixes issues by anonym
Through the 3 years I've had the paid version I've never regretted my purchase. It doesn't need to change much, and when a big is found (and there haven't been many), Dev is quick with a fix. Just buy it, there is no better widget set for social media than this. 5/5
Negative review Facebook problems and twitter! by anonym
The sole reason why I had this widget is to use it for Facebook and now it doesn't work and neither does Twitter. Please fix this app with the new lollipop version of Android. 1/5
Negative review Update to the new FB Graph 2.X API! by anonym
APW's Facebook timeline widget no longer works. From what I understand, it is because FB killed off third party access to their Graph 1.X API but continues to support Graph 2.X. The reasons given are that the newer Graph has more user privacy controls. If this is truly the case, APW needs to quickly switch up to the latest API. I've waited over a month and usability still has not been restored so I've deleted APW. Maybe I'll install again in the future when this has been fixed. 1/5
Neutral review by anonym
Loved this, but with on my HTC M8 (5.0.1) a lot of the widgets crash or don't work. Would be nice to have an update since the last update was 1 yr ago. If some widgets like facebook no longer work, just remove them. 3/5
Negative review Contacts not working by anonym
If an update breaks something then why not revert back to a previous version till you fix it? 2/5
Negative review Facebook by anonym
Facebook doesnt work on android 5.1 fix it please why you give no update i pay for it the most of the themes also no working bad service when you fix it i give you 5 stars 1/5
Negative review Themes stopped working by anonym
Everyone's upset about Facebook not working but I don't care about that. I used it for text messaging and calendars. But now I can't use a theme. If I apply one, the widget fits and says "PROBLEM LOADING WIDGET" giving me no way to do anything but delete it and start over. Without a theme, it's ugly. Therefore this has no further use for me. 1/5
Negative review Facebook Posts Broken by anonym
Most post on the Facebook scroll no longer allow link through to FB, showing a error/permissions error instead. Not sure about ones that do, possible only public posts can be seen? And now FB is completely broken, stupid api restriction. :( 2/5
Negative review Used to be my favorite app...... by anonym
My bookmarks keep disappearing. I have to keep reloading to keep them visible. I hope there is an update soon. 1/5
Positive review Most kickass calendar by anonym
Best cal widget on the market: it shows month name and todays date, scrolling between monthes is fairly fast, shows the event within the widget not like other cals which opens the application.... INSANE 5/5
Negative review by anonym
My favorite widget system until my phone upgraded to Lollipop. Now, I can't even use it. I have the paid version. Please update app, thank you! Will update review accordingly. Would like to keep using this and not have to buy another one that's compatible with Lollipop. 1/5
Negative review No Longer Works Correctly And No Support by anonym
With latest update to Android 5.0.2 Facebook no longer works on Timeline. Which is why I purchased this so I can see Facebook and Twitter updates in the same place like my old HTC phone. Now it is not working, abandoning this application, especially as I have been emailing them as a licensed customer for several weeks about why Facebook no longer works. No support has replied. I see here that it is not supported in whats new ... because Facebook prevents external apps access. Bye Bye APW 1/5
