= NOTICE =====================
THE VIDEO JUST SHOWS AN EXAMPLE FOR HOW TO USE POPUP WIDGET CREATIVELY. THE FANTASTIC UI WAS COMPOSED OF POPUP WIDGET AND ZOOPER WIDGET. SO IT CANNOT BE MADE ONLY BY THIS APPLICATION!

User reviews
Must have app for intermediate to advanced Android users
love this app. thank you for keeping it updated regularly!
Have been using Popup Widget for 6 years. it's one of the first apps I install on a new phone. the developer maintains the app so it works well overtime.
Very useful. Everything I need just a click away.
One of the few apps that are getting the job done
Perfect and flexible. I use Niagara launcher and I wanted to keep my home screen looking simple without adding a widget to it, and this was the perfect solution. The options for customizing the placement/size/effect make fine tuning it very easy and intuitive. Overall a fantastic app 👍
