I absolutely dislike when you post video posts, especially when the content of the video should be presented graphically and textually. Also, don’t make up stupid words such as one that combines widgets with app. So lame.
Also video posts take more time, I’m sure you only do it for ad revenue and video hits.
Nice effort, but with Apple yanking the widgets app, this is more of a nostalgia piece.
Apple pulled the Launcher app (a 3rd party app), not the “widgets app”.
PCalc Lite is great, as it puts a full-fledged calculator in your notification center. I also really like Transit, which will list the three public transit lines closest to you.
