Touch and hold the widget, tap Edit Widget and choose one of your designs. Widget Check, in Widgeling's Settings, lists every widget you've placed and flags any still showing the starter design.

iOS decides how often widgets refresh, based on how often you look at them. Open Widgeling and tap Refresh all widgets in Settings, and run Widget Check to find any permissions that are turned off.

Some widgets need permission to read something on your device, such as your calendar, photos, location or Health data. Widget Check shows which widget needs what, with a button to allow it, or to open Settings if you said no before.

Weather, air quality, finance, sports and flight widgets need Widgeling Pro. Without it you can still preview every Pro template with sample data in the app. If Pro ends, those widgets pause and show Open the app to continue, and come back to life when you resubscribe.

On your devices, synced through your own private iCloud database, which I can't see. Health data never syncs, and Widgeling has no servers that see your designs.

Sign in with the same Apple Account, keep iCloud on and install Widgeling. Your designs, themes, places and trackers come back on their own. You can turn iCloud sync on or off in Widgeling's Settings, under Sync and data.

Yes. Export designs and themes from the editor or from Settings, under Sync and data, then import them on another device or send them to a friend. Imported files are checked and can't contain links to remote images.

In Widgeling's Settings, under Sync and data, tap Delete all data. It removes every design, theme, place, tracker and photo set from that device and from iCloud, and placed widgets go back to their starter designs. It can't be undone.

Live data for your widgets: Apple Weather forecasts, air quality and pollen, stock, crypto and currency prices, sports fixtures, results and league tables, and flight status, with push updates that keep them fresh, plus Live Activities for live scores and flights. Pro also hides the banner for The Racing Line. Everything else, including the full style system and unlimited designs, is free.

Pro is £0.99 a month or £9.99 a year in the UK, with local prices elsewhere. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers, and you can try every Pro template with sample data before you subscribe.

Yes. Subscribe once and Pro works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro and Apple Watch signed in to the same Apple Account, and with up to five family members through Family Sharing.

No. Calendars, reminders, contacts, photos and Health data are read on your device to draw your widgets, and Widgeling never uploads them. Health data doesn't even sync to your own iCloud. For weather, a place's coordinates go to Apple Weather, and for Pro air quality and pollen, your location rounded to about 1 km goes to Widgeling's data service.

Free users see one small banner for The Racing Line, my motorsport app. It's built into Widgeling, not served by an ad network, so nothing tracks you and nothing about you is shared. Widgeling Pro hides it.
