Why low confidence: only 17 ratings · no founder-verified revenue (model estimate only) · revenue figure is directional only.

ℹ️ Honest verdict for low-signal apps
WidgetPack is a small / niche iOS app in the utilities space with weak public traction — only 17 ratings, no founder-verified MRR, and not ranked in any monitored grossing chart. The app appears to be monetised, but public signals are too sparse for a precise revenue estimate. Treat all revenue, audience and acquisition-value numbers below as directional only — not founder-verified facts.
WidgetPack is an iOS app from Bouke van der Bijl in the Utilities category, currently rated 3.4★ across 17 ratings. Initial signal reads as mostly critical sentiment so far: users flag rough edges and unmet expectations.
Quality Score is 40: Emerging (early traction worth watching). For a Utilities app, that means early traction worth watching. The full BU Investment Matrix below scores 8 dimensions including monetisation, growth, and operational risk.

★★★★★ This app is so much better & different than the others
Totally standalone in the field. Sorry this sounds so nerdy it makes beautiful widgets that are truly useful!!…
★★★★★ I really like the Shortcuts integration 👍
Two suggestions:
- Change the widget’s initial text to say something like “Long press here and tap Edit Widget to configure this widget”. The existing “Please configure this widget” is too vague for us first-time users 😬
- Add some more …
Top negative
★☆☆☆☆ Just as complex as the Shortcuts app - only it’s not free
From what I can tell, this app offers nothing more than the shortcuts app already offers. Way too complex if you’re not a coder or have some experience in that field. Waste of money…
★☆☆☆☆ Invalid shortcut file
Running shortcut grid now says Invalid shortcut file after upgrading to iOS 15 and the new update for WidgetPack. Please fix.…
