Editors’ Review

iOS Widgets for KWGT by VexCode brings iOS-style home screen widgets to Android, acting as a KWGT skin pack that reproduces iOS 14+ widget designs. The pack supplies weather, music, calendar, battery, fitness, news, photo slideshow, and system info widgets with dynamic updates and light/dark variants. It targets Android customization enthusiasts who install KWGT and the KWGT Pro Key and who are comfortable adjusting widget globals and scaling.

Top Recommended Alternative

The pack supplies a collection of precise iOS-style widgets that replace static shortcuts with functional replicas, including weather with dynamic updates, music tiles with playback controls and album art, calendar agendas, and system monitors for battery, RAM, and storage. Interactive elements let users control media and refresh news feeds from the widget, while light and dark variants change automatically based on system theme.

What the pack adds to your home screen

How deep customization goes inside KWGT

Customization takes place in the KWGT editor: the pack exposes variables in the 'Globals' area so colors, fonts, and scale can be adjusted per preset. Per-widget scaling and color overrides let the same design fit different grid sizes, and users can edit or remix presets to add or remove modules such as fitness tiles or RSS lists without leaving the editor.

Is setup suitable for non-technical users?

The pack requires KWGT Kustom Widget Maker and the KWGT Pro Key, so it is not standalone. Applying a widget follows the standard KWGT routine: long-press the home screen, open Widgets, choose a KWGT slot, tap the empty container, and select the pack. That workflow suits users already comfortable with widget editors rather than newcomers seeking plug-and-play widgets.

Does the pack affect device resources or compatibility?

The pack targets devices running Android 5.0 and up, and actual behavior depends on KWGT and device hardware. Widgets that use dynamic updates, photo slideshows, or live news feeds perform background work, so active complex widgets can increase CPU or battery use compared with simple static widgets. The developer focuses on the Kustom ecosystem, so compatibility follows updates to KWGT and system APIs.

  • Pros

    • High-fidelity iOS widget replicas with dynamic updates
    • Exposes Globals for color, font, and scale adjustments
    • Interactive music and news controls directly on widgets
    • Supports light and dark variants that switch automatically
  • Cons

    • Requires KWGT Kustom Widget Maker and the KWGT Pro Key
    • Applying widgets follows multiple manual KWGT workflow steps
    • Animated slideshows and frequent updates can increase battery use

Bottom Line

A practical option for tinkerers, less convenient for casual users

iOS Widgets for KWGT is a focused choice for Android users who enjoy building and editing home screen presets inside an editor, because it depends on KWGT and exposes editable globals. Those seeking immediate, standalone widgets may find the setup extra work, and users sensitive to battery should prefer static presets over animated slideshows or frequently updating feeds. It rewards patience with a coherent, editable iOS-style appearance.

Read limitations and fixes below!!

Currently are included:

Weather widgets

Calendar widget

Battery widget

Time widget

Fitness widget

News widget

Gallery slideshow widget

Notes widget

More to come!

For the gallery widget you can change the folder or path where you want your photos to be displayed. Also you can change the frequency, default is 1 minute. Global value for path is available so you need to change that if you want another folder.

Cycle between news by taping on the right and left side of the image and open the link to the article by taping on the title.

News widget already set up for CNN news, you can change the global value "rssone" for a different rss feed, but I recommend not because some feeds have no images so the widget would not display a thumnail.

Notes widget has limitations due to KWGT. You can add your own notes by changing the global values "Note 1, Note 2, Note 3". Tap on the orange part of the widget and that will open KWGT editor where you can change those values.

If you tap on the white part it will open Google Keep.

Email me for any issues or if you want to change something about a widget.

*This is not a stand alone app. IOS widgets require KWGT PRO ( not free version of this app).*
