Widgetsmith app not working

i got an app called widget smith in my phone and every time i click on it, it kicks me out

The developers of the app messed up and didn’t update it to be compatible with iOS 14. They’ve had access to iOS 14 for 3 months now, so they really have no excuse, no matter what they tell you. They are the ones that have to fix it.

Only the developers of the app can fix it. There are a few apps that were broken by iOS 14; most have already been fixed. You need to contact the developers (although they probably already know what they have to do).

I’m having issues with the time widget as well. It’s always wrong when I check my phone. I’ve restarted my phone a few times today too. It’ll update to the correct time, but a few hours later, the time will be off by 20 minutes or even an hour. It’s been a bit frustrating.

The reason why the app kicks you out is because you have the iOS 14 beta if your phone is acting up the way it should not be acting up that means that you should’ve waited until the iOS 14 update came out before you even got the beta because the beta will give your phone trouble and it wouldn’t let you get into certain things on your phone so with that being said you need to go to General on settings press profile and delete the iOS 14 beta profile and then after you go to General again press software updates and then that’s when you’ll see that I was IOS 14 update and it will tell you that it will update your phone but it will take overnight to process because it will not do it over 10 minutes...I hope this helps😇

you need to swipe all the way to the furthermost left side of your phone and go to the bottom where it says edit, then click it. then go to the bottom again where it says customise, then u go to the rectangle where it says widgetsmith and click the green plus. save it and maybe the widgets will show up on your phone.

Widgets were built in with the update. The third party apps are created to mimic this, not in its place. When you have an issue with a third party app you will always need to direct you questions and anger with them. Want to know if it’s third party and not your software? Run stock apps. If they work fine, it’s your third party app. Let’s allow Apple to work through the kinks of the brand NEW update before we go crazy. Widgetsmith has caused many issues on Apple devices. I would know as I am a tech specialist that deals with it everyday. Uninstall the app and reset your phones settings...back to new.

If it is not working I suggest everyone delete the app and backup their phones. Settings>Tap your name>iCloud>turn on everything you want saved (make sure the switch is green)> iCloud backup>backup now. Once the backup is complete do a full reset of your phone. Settings>general >reset>erase all content and settings. Once you are back to setup, setup the phone and restore from the backup you created. This will reset the software to new. All of your content will then reload to your phone. Try installing the app again. If it still fails you, wait for the app developer to release an update, as well as any iOS updates. There isn’t much we can do from here as it is issues on the backend.

This is so stressful! I’ve tried to restart my phone I deleted the app multiple times and re-downloaded it and its still doing the same thing does anybody know another app that similar to widget Smith?

EVERYONE!!! I know how to fix it. If you have the public iOS update DELETE IT. I had it an couldn’t go into Widgetsmith. And then I couldn’t get get in my music. Tell me if it works for you. YOUR WELCOME

Why don’t you help yourself and just read the other messages in the thread you posted to?

That might be something wrong with your software so I would try and delete it then get it again or restart your iphone
