I'm sure this has been discussed prior and I know it was mentioned a bit during WWDC, but I was curious find out opinions on whether or not people would like widgets as an option on their iPhone or iPad and what type of widgets they would like to see.
I've read some articles stating that Apple users don't actually want widgets on their mobile. In this circumstance, would there even be any point in taking the time to add widget to iOS 8 if no one would use them in the first place?
Your opinion on this matter is greatly appreciated.
I'll start:
I don't have a huge preference on widget availability on Apple devices and I don't even know that I would use them all that often since I only user a weather widget when I was an Android user. On my iPhone, I have icons and a few folders, all viewable on the first page right when I turn on my phone. It makes my phone feel organized and easily accessible when others look for something on my phone. If I were to add widgets, those icons would be divided between multiple pages and would not be viewable right away.
So in the end, I think Widgets is a good idea, but I don't see myself using them all that much. Admittedly, I do miss my weather widget on my old Nexus phone. I would probably use that on my Apple devices if it was available.
