Description
Those Widgets are compatible with the new iOS 14 Home Screen Widgets.
Thanks to this application (and the other Widget apps from PacoLabs), you can now customize the Today view of your device, by adding custom widgets for some specific purposes.
From anywhere in your device, with a simple top to bottom swipe, you'll have access to your own information and actions.
Each Note widget allows to view user defined text.
This is perfect to quickly view and edit some notes and reminders or to give you inspiration with your favourite quotes.
The text can be displayed in different ways (by changing the size, the font, the color, the alignment).
Markdown and pseudo HTML are partially handled and allows to easily add some specific colors and text formatting.
The text can be quickly edited by touching it.
The application is really easy to use and is adapted to the fresh look of your device.
Dark mode of iOS13 is supported.
You can add as many widgets as you want and they will be displayed in up to 3 different lists. Those same lists will be available in the Today view and in the application (although it is possible, if you want, to hide some widgets in the Today view).
To avoid overloading the Today view, when too many widgets are displayed, an intuitive control will allow you to navigate from one widget to another.
Even if the main purpose of the app is to view the widgets in the Today view, it can also be very handy to view them directly in the application (a long press on a widget in the Today view will open it directly in the main application).

Ratings and Reviews
Love it!
Only app I could find that would let me adjust the text size! It also comes with two more text widgets so you can have 3 different ones if you want.
Quirky is possible subliminal programming
Nice app but (if you do not have the app already open) if you click on the widget to edit or add note, on way to app to edit it displays another screen. (Same way the same dev’s subliminal app works, which I also have, just sayin’!) I.e. flashes yellow default app screen instead of taking you directly to your blue (whatever your prefs are) screen to edit. Tried to give me a headache. I have to look away from the thing. Moving to another app for notetaking.
Developer Response ,
Hi,
Every app on the App Store, when launched, shortly displays a splash screen during the load of the app. The recommended practice from Apple is to display something close to the user interface.
By default the color of the app is yellow for the top and bottom bars. This is why the splash screen contains some yellow top and bottom bars. While I gave the possibility for the user to change those colors in the app (what you did to the blue color), the splash screen is static and cannot unfortunately be changed.
Perhaps a new iOS version will allow to do that someday. Until then I suggest you to set the color of the app back to yellow, if it is mandatory for you to avoid this short color change..
Dark mode option
Great app overall but please allow the option for black fonts to change to white when using dark mode.
