Great app, but ... After I configure my webpage, the widget shows up, but after as little as one minute it will stop responding forever: no matter what actions are configured for tap, no update nor open widget works. All I can do is remove the widget from the screen. Can you PLEASE fix ? Then it will be 5 stars for sure.

For any of you that are complaining about the app freezing, go to your phone's settings and turn off the Optimise battery usage thing.

UI is difficult for a beginner or even intermediate user but after you figure it out it works really well. Update: This app is pretty awesome for some phones. I had a Vivo and it wouldn't ever automatically update. I have a Note 10 Plus now and it doesn't allow me to go through the steps to add a widget. It keeps signing me out and once signed in, it doesn't allow me to click and the arrows for movement are missing. Please update, I would love to have this on my new phone.

This app really makes life easier with great customization. Just a suggestion that when we select the line it displays 'Use All as a list' and other similar lines. It could be better if I could select 2 lines out of 3 rather than creating multiple widgets. Update: this stopped working. Now when I click on widget to refresh. Its not doing anything. Just sits there.

Recent update has broken this app, emailed the support address last week but no response. No widgets now display, it would be very easy to roll back to a prev working version but the dev's appear to ignore the many bad reviews and leave the app broken, why? Great pity as this used to be a useful app. It would be nice to get a response from the Dev's. Using: Android 7.1.1 & 5.0.2

The app is far from intuitive. When I finally did get the info I wanted to display, the widget continuously freezes up. It'll stop updating, and the only way to make it respond again is to delete the widget and make a new one. This is within minutes of making it, btw. So, it's utterly worthless in that case.

About this app

Meta is a unique app that can clip web content into dynamic, interactive widgets. Simply browse to a website, pick a column of text, blurb, image or element and enjoy this information right on your home screen!

Almost any simple element can be parsed out of a website - images, lists of similar articles, feeds or features. Use it for local papers, web comics, site statistics, analytics, account information, forums, threads, inbox status, weather maps, stocks, pics of the day and even Facebook pages!

Any widget created through Meta can be customized and automatically updated, or updated on user interaction.

★ Create widgets from almost any website element
★ Parse graphs and images
★ Extract statistics and information from authorized sites
★ Configure widgets (background, alignment, etc.)
★ Automatic updates
★ User defined click actions
★ Lots of other cool stuff

This app is now completely free. Enjoy.

INSTRUCTIONS:

To get started, add a Meta Widget to your home screen and navigate to the site you want to widgetize. Then, when you get to the page you want, check the box in the lower left corner and tap somewhere on the page. It'll surround that element in an orange box, after which you can move the selection tool around with the arrows at the bottom of the screen. When you find the element you want to put on your home screen, tap the plus sign and go to town configuring text colors, widget alignment, and more to make it look just right.

NOTE:

This method of creating widgets will not always work for every site and element. But it should work for many with the proper CSS corrections.

NOTE 2:

We only provide technical support for this app (if for example it stops working on a new Android version, we will fix this), but do not provide any direct help in creating widgets or formatting them.
