Widgetable

Value score / 100 Worth paying? Depends It depends

Widgetable offers cute social features and pet care, but the free experience is heavily marred by excessive ads and paywalls, making the paid version almost a necessity for enjoyable use.

Free + in-app purchases seen up to $19.99 4.9★ lifetime (375,198) since 2022

Widgetable is a social app for friends and couples to share widgets, raise virtual pets, and track activities, praised for its cuteness and connectivity R1R7R41. However, the free version is plagued by an overwhelming number of long ads, frequent paywalls for basic pet care, and glitches, leading many users to feel it's only truly usable with a paid subscription R8R9R16R28.

Free vs paid

The free version of Widgetable allows users to connect with friends, raise virtual pets, and use various widgets like sleep trackers R21R23R41. However, free users face constant, often long, ads for almost every action, including feeding pets, playing games for coins, and even opening the app R8R28R47R83. Basic pet care, such as food, is difficult to obtain without watching numerous ads or paying, and pets get hungry frequently R11R36R90. Many features, including certain pets, garden decor, and hints in games, are locked behind paywalls or require a 'Pro' subscription R9R37R72R194. Paid users, specifically 'Pro' subscribers, are expected to experience fewer ads, but some reviews indicate that even Pro users still encounter ads for certain actions like hints in games R9.

Value complaints

  • The app is heavily monetized with an overwhelming number of ads for almost every action, including feeding pets, playing games, and even opening the app.R8R28R47R83
  • Many basic features and pet necessities, like food, are locked behind paywalls or require watching numerous ads, making pet care difficult and expensive.R2R11R16R28
  • Some users who pay for 'Pro' still report seeing ads for certain features, diminishing the value of the subscription.R9
  • Ads are often long, sometimes two minutes, and can be inappropriate or glitchy, failing to grant promised rewards.R8R47R97R136
  • The cost of items like food is considered overpriced, and the amount of coins earned from mini-games or daily rewards is insufficient.R11R28R48R90
  • Pets get hungry too frequently, making it a chore to keep them fed without constant ad watching or spending money.R36R90R159R236

Where it delivers

  • The app is highly praised for its fun and entertaining social features, allowing users to connect and interact with friends and partners through shared pets and widgets.R1R2R6R7
  • Users find the virtual pets and widgets cute and adorable, enhancing the overall experience.R4R5R6R7
  • The app helps users communicate feelings and maintain connections with friends and partners.R22R23R24R41
  • The concept of co-parenting pets and playing games together is engaging and enjoyable for many.R21R23R38R40
Worth paying if

It is worth paying if you highly value the social connectivity and shared pet-raising experience with friends or partners, and are willing to pay to avoid the constant barrage of ads and access locked features necessary for pet care R7R23R41.

Skip / stay free if

You should skip paying if you are not willing to tolerate frequent ads even after paying, or if you expect a fully functional pet care experience without constant monetary demands R9R16R28R83. If you are looking for a simple, free widget app without significant monetization pressure, this app's current free model will likely be frustrating R8R47R194.

Evidence note: The lifetime rating is very high (4.9), but recent reviews, especially those with lower ratings, consistently highlight severe issues with excessive ads, paywalls, and glitches. The positive reviews often focus on the 'fun' and 'cute' aspects without addressing the monetization issues, or they are older. The negative reviews provide more specific details about the user experience, suggesting a decline in value or an increasingly aggressive monetization strategy.

  1. [R8] 1/5 · US Ads Galore: This app has SO many ads. You can’t do anything without either paying for a feature or watching an ad. Furthermore, sometimes when you watch an ad, you don’t even get the reward you were promised because of a glitch. I was watching an ad to get a reward, and when I clicked the x, it said “reward granted” but it never gave the reward. Then, 10 seconds after that, the app said “take a br
  2. [R28] 2/5 · US Adds and price: When you first get into an app u are hit with an add and the adds they give u are so long. Also the price to get things is 100 for everything and I have to go through so many adds to get that money😤 and they need so much food sooo do Yall see the problem
  3. [R47] 1/5 · US too many ads.: way too many ads. i’ll be playing a game for coins and need a tool to help and after i finish that ad it gives me 2 more. once you get sam ad it says “1 of2” so every time your watching two ads or one that’s 120 seconds. you get too many ads additional to the ones that your going to end up needing for your pets care. not s bad game at all but considering deleting over these ads.
  4. [R83] 1/5 · US Hate new update: To sup it up there are so many ads mainly repeating ads and can't do anything without watching a stupid ad or you could pay like 15 bucks a month for premium also I hate the new tracker update because it doesn't show like the cute little emojis anymore
  5. [R2] 5/5 · US It’s Funnnnn!!: I luv this app cause it’s so fun and it kinda gets me! The only thing I don’t really like is that sum stuff cost money!!! But overall I luv it!!
  6. [R11] 4/5 · US Food: I love doing this with a friend, but it’s incredibly hard to stock up on food, you get so little coins and you have to watch a lot of ads to get food
  7. [R16] 1/5 · US Donation dump: Everything is tied to making payments. Ads don't load. · translated
  8. [R9] 2/5 · US Only usable if you pay for pro: The app is cute and the games are fun, but even when you pay for pro you still have to watch ads to get help playing the games. I feel like if you're paying for pro, you should at least get one free hint/help option a day.
  9. [R97] 2/5 · US Buggy and Ads Every 2 Seconds: One of the ads was a fake malware scan pop-up and I know damn well that’s straight up viruses that this game is advertising to me. What the actual heck. FILTER WHAT ADS PLAY THESE ARE ATROCIOUS thank you!!!!!
  10. [R136] 1/5 · US Overridden with Ads: Every single thing is followed up with like 2 minute ads and you can’t do anything without having to watch an ad every 2 minutes. The game consists mostly of watching ads which feels exploitive of the children that download this game to raise little animals. They got little kids over here watching ads about investing and crypto for 99% of the gameplay, they’re not personalized
  11. [R48] 5/5 · US Yippee!! This is a very goood game I LOVE IT except The VERY OVERPRICED FOOD but besides that its👍: This is a GREAT GAME , I ABSOLUTELY love it ! except the VERY OVERPRICED FOOD but besides that it’s GREAT! Maybe you should leave a review too ! After you SEE THIS GREAT GAME
  12. [R90] 2/5 · US Balancing: The app is adorable in itself, but pets get hungry often and mini-games do not reward very much coins. Even the daily wheel offers such pitiful amounts. 5-10 coins on the wheel? It has zero effect whatsoever and it feels rigged, like the developer wants you to work super hard to purchase a single food item. The only way you can keep your pets healthy is by watching a lot of ads. I think
  13. [R36] 1/5 · US 🫩✌️: It is GENUINELY so hard to take care of pets. I have 3 with my friend and ITS SO HARD TO FEED ALL THREE. their hungery every 30 minutes and it’s hard to get food and it very hard to get coins.
  14. [R159] 1/5 · US Stupid app is pretty much unplayable.: This is such a bad app, you can barely feed your pets unless you watch a minute long ad that takes forever to skip. It's really bad when you're on vacation and the pets act like it's the end of the world and almost die. POS.
  15. [R236] 1/5 · US Greedy: The concept of this app is very cute and fun. Unfortunately this app falls victim to the same issue other mediocre mobile games have: they’re greedy. When you open the app, there’s an ad. Every few minutes, there’s an ad. If you’re taking care of a pet, you’ll need to watch ads for every piece of food you want to feed them, and they need multiple pieces of food and get hungry multiple time
  16. [R68] 1/5 · US Not best: I canceled my free trail same day I did it and still got charged after changing it to a new plan which isn’t set to charge me anything till 2027

The cute pets you can take care of together are so cute also!! I love every little fun tracker on there. It’s all so fun to use and so helpful! So if you want to get this app,but you’re waiting for a bad reply please check it
  27. [R21] 5/5 · US My review: This is a great game I love doing it I like that you can either coparent or raise your kids together and that’s amazing but it is kinda tuff getting money by playing games but you can also watch adds to get everything you need
  28. [R38] 5/5 · US Totally recommend best game ever: Not just like a little game where you just like take care of your pets and stuff no you can actually play different games to get coins help your pets get with your friends and share pets and like raise them. It’s so cool definitely recommend guys you should do it and thank you for reading this anyways and wasting your time so anyways thank you
  29. [R40] 5/5 · US Very good: The reason why I like it is because I name my teddy Sarah and I get defeated. I get to take a shower and I just love it and my friend has a pet too so now we could play that game together five out of five
  30. [R37] 5/5 · US Giffifidkdndndsjsssssss: I love it so much it’s just how my pet is asking to go outside but I need pro really disappointed in needing pro
  31. [R72] 1/5 · US Fine but one thing: I just want to be able to pick which one I get without having to spend money
  32. [R194] 2/5 · US Free version gets old FAST: It’s a cute game with lots of cute features, but the free version becomes so wildly oversaturated with ads and paywalls that it REALLY affects how much you can actually enjoy this game. Getting coins is a time-consuming hassle from games, getting garden decor is put behind a paywall since there’s seemingly no way to get any diamonds without spending real money, and ther
