unhappy with the performance of this widget
Really really unhappy with the performance of this widget. Once I set it up, invariably, within 24 hours, the website literally just disappears and the widget says I have to pick a URL. When it is being set up, the small window size set up does not match up with what I’ve set after I go back and save it. I have to scroll the square window around to some other area to have it actually show what I want on the final home screen. Been playing with this now for more than two weeks on a daily basis. It never works right for longer than a few hours or a day if I could even get it set up to look like what I want onscreen
Stopped working
No longer displays website and does not keep the site I add to list.
Crucial widget! But settings won't stick
When I try to edit the settings on the widget, they don't stick. So I cannot remove the bottom bar, change the refresh rate, or anything like that.
Useless for login pages
While the idea is great, it fails to work when I need to display a page that requires login. Even if I setup the app with the url and login information, the widget fails to load that information. Useless for my usecase.
Wonderful App - Works greater for webdev projects
This app is great and I used it in a recent webdev project
Love the idea
Seems like you guys are the few people that had this ingenious idea. It would be nice if we had the ability to scroll down the page or custom views that automatically change. RSS feed widgets for blogs would be really cool as well if that’s possible.
Pretty Cool Workaround
Nice work! Where there's a will, there's a way.
