for and today i'm going to cover my top 10 pics of widgets that you guys should check out all of the
widgets in today's video are free on the app store but some of them do come with premium features as
well before we get started though please let me know down in the comments what your favorite ios
14 widget is but first up on the list we've got cpux well it's not the nicest looking widget it
does give you plenty of information to display in that widget box and you can choose between
small or medium widgets but unfortunately there's no large you can use cpux to display useful
information about your phone and you can see here a wide range from battery wi-fi and data usage all
the way to cpu information with cpux widget we can have storage information that's going to show us
our memory and storage use we can have display information that shows us details of the display
although these details are a little bit useless as they're never going to change and it's the
same for cpu info as well we can have the battery information that not only tells us how much power
is present but it also gives us an estimation on how long we have left with the battery life
we've got os information which again isn't going to change very often but it does let us know what
version we're on and when the last reboot was and basic information much like cpu and display
is just going to give us information we already know and is not going to change
now next up we've got hayweather which is a great widget app for those of you that like to display
weather inside of a widget we can choose small medium or large with this widget and it also
allows us to customize the look or hey where the widget app is free on the app store it does
unfortunately have somewhat limited customizations on the free version but we can still pick from a
few different colors and icons if we head over to the widget section of the app we can choose which
widget we want to customize so if we take a look at the large one we can swipe between different
presets to get the layout that we prefer the most now once we've decided on a layout we can press
on that and select from different colors and icons there's a reasonable selection to choose from but
as i said unfortunately some of these are locked for the premium account only but you do get a few
colors and icon packs for free now next up we've got google calendar now i like this one because i
do use android and ios devices so i prefer to use my google calendar and have an up-to-date
view across all my devices unfortunately there's no large widget to select with google calendar
but we can use both small and medium widgets to show our upcoming tasks reminders or even events
if you've got google calendar installed on your phone then this widget becomes available so just
select it from the list next up we've got advanced widgets now this one is a great tool for those
of you that want a selection of widgets from one single app we can choose between small medium and
large widgets within that we've got even more choices we can use advanced widgets to select
from clock date and calendar to do and reminders device information and even a custom section
where we can have notes simple photo widgets or posters within each section we also have choices
for different small medium and large widgets so you can find the one that suits your home screen
the best next on the list we've got widget king now this is just a clock widget but i thought i'd
include it in this list for its simplicity with this widget we can only choose from
medium widgets but it offers a nice selection of different themed and color clock widgets the app
is neatly laid out where we can go through the categories swipe through the different choices
or simply press view all to see all of the widgets they offer now the library of widgets on this one
is not the largest at the moment but hopefully more and more are going to continue to be added
next up we've got widget which is another multi-purpose widget app but this one packs
a lot of power and customizations the great thing about widget is the wide selection of widgets to
choose from along with the customizations they've got small medium and large widgets
and they also have multiple widget slots meaning you can use this as your only widget application
to run every widget on your phone there's also plenty of community activity on this one
so for those that don't want to make your own you can simply look through widgets that other people
have created and on this one we've literally got everything from clocks to crypto values all the
way to fitness and health widgets now this is one of my personal favorites when it comes to widget
apps but the only downside to this one is that on the free version of the application you can
only have one slot and to use these multiple slot options you need to go premium next up we've got
the dropbox widget now i like to send a lot of files between my pc and other smart devices so
i find dropbox is a simple way to do this the thing i like about the dropbox widget for ios
is that you can use it to quickly scan a document upload a file a photo or even record some audio
now we can also have a widget to quickly open our recently uploaded to dropbox documents as well as
our star documents now the dropbox widget has the option for small medium or large widgets so
however much you need to use this then the choice is there next up we've got the battery widget and
this is actually the stock battery widget for ios but the reason i've included this one is that some
people aren't aware that this widget not only shows your device's battery level but it also
includes other devices so if you're someone that uses a lot of bluetooth devices such as airpods
other tws earbuds and bluetooth speakers this widget is going to give you an up-to-date view of
just how much battery each device has you can have it in a list as a large widget or icons with the
percentage values in the medium widget but it's a great one for those that do use a lot of devices
next up we've got sticky widgets for those of you that like me can be a little forgetful it allows
you to have a sticky note on your home screen it that you can easily customize in changes you need
we can have a small medium or large widget and it's easy to update them when we need to
unfortunately this is another widget app where we get more customizations for going premium
but on the free version we can choose from a few different background colors we can change the
font and text size as well as rotation although i'm not sure why you would want to rotate text
the downside to sticky widgets however is that you only get one sticky note
so even if you had three or four of these on the screen if you change one of the widgets
then all of them are gonna change now finally we've got a bit of a different widget
and this is more of a fun one the widget we're looking at is called steve widget and if you
find yourself bored and want to jump a dinosaur over cactuses then this is the widget for you
some of you may recognize this one from the google easter egg when you couldn't connect
to a webpage but the steve widget allows you to play this game directly from the widget
section and not have to open anything now i'm not great at this game and my highest score was 4691
so let me know in the comments if you managed to beat this and what your high score is
but that's it for today's roundup of widgets and there's going to be plenty more videos
like this to come in the future now as i said let me know down in the comments
what your favorite ios 14 widget is and maybe it could appear in the next video
but as always thank you for watching the video if you liked it smash a thumbs up
if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and i'll see you guys in the next one
