[Review] Floating Widget Brings Widgets To The Foreground, But Comes With Trade-offs
There has been a trend lately of apps being released that act more like traditional floating windows. LilyPad HD, OverSkeen, and AirTerm have all garnered a lot of interest, but they are single use apps. Floating Widget does just what its name suggests: it makes widgets float on top of your apps. The implementation is a little odd at first, but once you learn the rules, Floating Widget is useful in a number of situations.
Getting Started
The actual Floating Widget app isn’t the most intuitive, and the instructions it offers at start up are hard to follow until you actually dive in. The app has a few buttons, but there is little indication where to start.
