One area in which iOS has been slow in catching up with Android is in its support for home screen widgets. Now they have finally arrived with the launch of iOS 14, developers are pushing out endless apps to take advantage of the feature, and one of these is Widgetsmith.

The app includes a range of customisable widgets ranging from weather forecasts and time, to calendars and health information. The widgets are available in a range of sizes – small, medium and large – and can be personalised in a variety of ways, such as changing the colour, font and theme. Some of the widgets are based on location, so you can choose between showing information based on where you currently are, or lock it to a different city.

Other available widgets include a photo album or single photo display, custom test and tide times. Widgetsmith integrates with Apple Health, so you can use the app's widget to display information about your ring activity throughout the day.

An interesting option for you to experiment with is the ability to schedule a widget to change throughout the day. You might, for instance, want to see you calendar and weather when you first get up in the morning, but then switch to your calendar and world clocks as a the day progresses. There's lots of potential for experimentation here.
