Common Widgetsmith App Problems and Troubleshooting Steps

Android, iOS, or macOS operating system users may encounter a problem where an app will display a black screen for a few seconds before crashing, with or without an error message. However, there are a few methods you can try to fix this issue:

  1. Sometimes, this problem may be caused by a temporary loading issue. To fix this, go to the recent applications menu on your phone, usually accessed by the first left button, and close the app that is experiencing the issue. Then, re-open the app.
  2. If that doesn't work, try doing a hard reboot of your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android device by simultaneously pressing and holding the "Home" and "Power" buttons for up to 10 seconds, then release them and hold the "Power" button until the screen turns on. After that, try opening the app again.
  3. If none of the above solutions work, another option is to wait for the phone battery to drain and turn off automatically. After that, charge the phone and turn it on and try opening the app again.
  4. If the problem persists, you may need to uninstall and re-install the app. Re-installing the app will restore all settings.
  5. If the app still does not work, you can try installing older versions of the app.

Say hello to version 2.0 of Widgetsmith! This is a major update to the way you setup your widgets. Rather than requiring you to setup each of your widgets individually Widgetsmith now comes with a wide variety of prebuilt aesthetics included in the app. Of course, you can still customize them as you prefer but you now have a great starting point to begin from.
You can tweak these prebuilt themes and apply all the changes to all uses of that theme, making it incredibly easy to design that perfect aesthetic for your home screen.
The app also now includes a number of artwork styles that you can apply to your widgets giving them that perfect finishing touch. The initial set includes a collection of lovely geometric border, a Fall Leaves and Pumpkin theme. It is my expectation to continue adding more and more of these themes to keep the app always up to date with the current season/occasion. Custom artwork requires a Premium subscription.
Additionally,
- Adds a RGB/HEX color chooser
- Fix to a bug where 1 px white line would show on photos
- Better text sizing in the Text widget.
