Description

---------- NO ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT ----------
Sorry, I am really busy and cannot maintain the app anymore. I am truley thankful for all the feedback I have received, but I wont be able to update the app any time soon.

---------- WEB WIDGET VERSION 2 AVAILABLE FOR TESTING ----------
The second version of Web Widget is a complete rework with focus on performance and ease of use. Most notably it now includes two different widgets, a scrollable one and a static one. The static should be preferably used as it offers great performance benefits. It is the ideal choice if you want to display full screen web pages (e.g. smart home controls, your own custom widget etc.). Toolbars have been completely removed as they take up resources and offer no real benefits. They have been replaced by a dialog allowing for the same kind of interactions without disturbing the look and feel of the home screen widget. No more unnecessary redraws! The widget now intelligently determines when it has to redraw the web page contents so you always see the current state of the site.

NOTE: Any widgets previously created will be deleted or stop working.

----- HOW CAN I JOIN TESTING? -----
Scroll down to the bottom of the Play store page. You should find a panel titled 'Become a beta tester' with a button you have to click to join the testing program.

----- HOW CAN I OPEN THE MENU DIALOG? -----
To open the widget's menu dialog, (slowly) double tap the widget. Another possibility (which seems to work more consistently) is to tap the widget with two fingers simultaneously.

----- WHERE IS FEATURE XYZ? -----
Many features that were previously available are not yet implemented. If you want to request any feature please let me know by leaving a review or sending me an email.

----- HELP, MY WIDGET FLICKERS! -----
This is caused by a too low minimum redraw delay. Although the widget intelligently determines when to redraw, you still have to tell it how fast it is allowed to redraw the web page. Open the settings and choose a higher value.

----- HELP, MY WIDGET CRASHES! -----
This is to be expected, as it is still an early preview. If a crash à la 'App has crashed' or 'App is not responding' occurs, I should be automatically receiving detailed crash information which help me fix the issue. Please stay patient and wait for a new update to be released, or alternatively write a constructive one-star review on the Play store.

---------- INFORMATION ABOUT CURRENT VERSION ----------

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Best of its kind!
1 ★Does display webpage
4 ★Great. Very useful. Does mostly what I want. The only thing I haven't managed to get working is entering credentials for a website using the interactive browser. It doesn't give an opportunity to enter details and take you straight to an 'unauthorized' Web server message. Tried again July 2020 - even in the interactive browser it doesn't offer a login window when requested by server...
4 ★Very cool and probably the best of all the available apps of its type but why no finger scrolling? Its like all of these website-to-widget apps have some things great and some things just totally absent. Why can't they all be combined into one app that does it all right!!
2 ★The selected part of the page will frequently be moved to somewhere irregularly after its refresh which is very annoying & turns the app to be useless. Need to move the page very slightly. Wish Refresh interval has a few hours. Seeing last update time at the first line of config is helpful. Suggest tapping to left upper toolbar icon prompts an option menu because right toolbar icons may always be hidden after resizing widget. Request Desktop Site doesn't help Remember View Bound.
5 ★Thanks for this awesome widget! Not sure why it has so many 1*. The onlything i would like to ask is to add option for tripple click to showtoolbars because i way too offen doubleclick when i need to press more thenone button.
5 ★Exactly what I needed! Set to display a small pomodoro web app. Turned offbrowser buttons and it looks like a native widget.
5 ★I've been waiting for years for usable solution to this awesome feature. This is the first app that appears to have got it right! It seems to work flawlessly for everything I've used it for so far. Great app! A+ +
5 ★Perfect app. Unfortunate that this app is no longer in development but it does what it claims almost perfectly. Only issue I've had is scrolling to the left everytime. Other than that this app is amazing. Thank you to the developer
5 ★This widget is AWESOME. It does exactly what it says on the box. I've managed to get my phone to last 3 days between charges now by creating my own dashboard content on a LAMP server, and the phone only has this web widget now - no other widgets. How do we send Dennis money? It deserves to be paid for.
5 ★My brain just exploded. The possibilities of this app are immense. Imagine wallpaper websites that actually work. Boom!
4 ★Been seeking this kind of widget for ages. Other similar are missing the features I need, like directly opening visible links with browser. Would be perfect if could scroll with swipe gestures.
