Apps with iOS 14 Widgets, Vol. 1
If you’ve been following our work at MacStories closely over the last few days, you’ve probably seen the word “widgets” more times than you can count. Since iOS and iPadOS 14 released on Wednesday, we’ve seen a flood of third-party apps add support for the new widgets those OS updates bring. We’ve covered a bunch on the site, and will continue to do so in the weeks ahead, but there are simply too many great updates featuring widgets (and other new OS features) to write in detail about. So for this first issue of MacStories Weekly following OS launch day, I want to highlight some of the great apps featuring widgets that we haven’t had the chance to cover yet.
Dark Noise
The excellent ambient noise app I’ve previously reviewed has some great widget options for quickly kicking off playback of a specific noise. Once you tap a noise in the widget, the app opens and playback starts immediately, requiring no additional taps. And the selection of noises in your widget is, of course, entirely customizable.
