Photo Contacts Widget for Android
Does not seem to work with go launcher prime since they updated. I know its not the Widgets fault cause it worked great b4. Anyone have any ideas?
This is totally making up for the deficiencies in Samsung's touchwiz on my Verizon galaxy s3. Nova allows this widget to become full paged and scrollable for the ultimate visual speed dial.
sometimes one of my contacts will only link to last texted contact instead of the one I clicked. This sucks quite bad. Empty images could be improved.
As 95% of my contact pics come from Facebook it is a massive disappointment that this widget doesn't recognise them. This should be the best contact widget as everything else is great. But no pic for my contacts is a deal breaker. I won't delete as I hope for an update but I won't be using it until then :-(
I do like this app. It's simple and exactly what I was looking for. It can display just the people I put into my Favorites category. I did have to go into Google's contact manager to add pictures of the people in my favorites. The only glitch is that 3 of the dozen pictures don't show up, so all I see for those names is that "black chess piece" the Dev uses for a logo. I can't see anything different about those contacts, so it's frustrating that their headshots aren't showing up in the widget. Otherwise, cool!
Beautiful layout, surprisingly limited competition for a picture only contacts app. Please add 4 row wide option so there are no spaces between pics.
Useful app but a bit slow to respond on my x10. Functions well, slight gripe is I can't find an option to clear defaults settings
Photos do not show up. Only shows silouets. WASTE OF TIME.
Has potential. Needs more widget sizes. Also plz readjust arrangment of contacts when widget is resized. And plz allow diff actions for diff contacts in a widget. Needs more transparency option. Doesnt direct dial, just shows dial pad w/weird # format. One of the better looking widgets but needs work. Plz update.
It was a go launher bug that disabled the clickable widget. Glad I didn't delete the app, it's working fine and still the best out there IMHO.
Great app. Does need to mention that enabling scrollable widgets in Launcher Pro, etc. Better than having a douche (Daemon) post an ugly comment.
Exactly what I was looking for. I see lots of suggestions for putting four contacts in a row, but I think it's perfect just like it is. Three across means I can easily see the images on my 4" screen (and I do like a space between pics). I also absolutely love the pop-up options when I tap a contact! Outstanding job!
Didn't work at first, but that's cuz I didn't "enable scrollable widgets" in preference settings in Launcher Pro. Now works great! My bad! Have Captivate, 2.2
Has no override for the launcher autodetect that checks for scrollable widget support. Doesn't currently detect Nova as scrollable even though it clearly is.
Writes that I need a launcher that supports scrollable effects. Waste of time.
Says it requires a launcher with scrolling widget support (which Nova has) but doesn't work. Sad.
I've been a big fan of Photo Contact Widget but now it's stopped working with Next Launcher.
Not seeing any photos..could help on it how would be able doing so. Any additional settings helps me the same.
Works great on galaxy s. The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is that it uses the android contact popup, that lags sometimes.
I have ICS and I have other widgets that scroll. This one doesn't work for me. Great idea though.
This widget doesn't work on my galaxy nexus. I used it before on an older phone and liked it quite a bit. Would use again if updated.
I like the idea of the widget, and launcher pro doesn't allow the stock widget to be used. Does what I want but doesn't use Facebook photo and often shows scrollable widget error even when I have launcher pro and feature enabled
Like the look and idea but cant re edit without removing it from home screen and other negative is cant sync with facebook contacts only shows the contacts that i manually added in orginal contact list
Used this for years.. But since ICS and Jelly Bean, my synced Facebook pictures are missing.. Why??? Please fix and I'll reinstall and 5 stars.. But for not, uninstalled.
Would have been 5 stars but the option not to display contact name has no effect . Its shown even if disabled. Any chance you could fix this developer.
Looks like htc sense people widget, only 3 stars since it wont let me rearrange my selected contacts my way, only alphabetical is used.
It looks good but doesn't show all people in my contact group and shows many duplicates. uninstalled
Doesn't refresh when changes made 2 group. Have 2 delete widget & re-add :-/ & doesn't show pic id
Work great again. The issue that caused the widget not to work was a go luncher bug,it was fixed in the last version of go luncher
Like transparent bkgrnd & pox size Wish had 2x2 & large pix 4x4 like People Widget & cd use Facebook pix. When selecting not display name, still does.
Works great on my EVO with LauncherPro, BUT, when I turn off 'Show Contact Names' they are still displayed.
Worked great until last update. Now I cannot select a contact from the widget screen. Droid X.
Mostly very good. Does not use Facebook photos (using SyncMyPix to workaround this). Photo aspect ratio is not preserved, causing stretched photos.
Works well with Go Launcher Ex on Evo. Only issue I had it lists duplicate system groups so took me awhile to find the right one to assign lol
The widget prompts that a scrollable launcher is required and remains blacked out even though I have the latest version of zeam
Widget does not work on Samsung Galaxy Note 2... Goes thru the set up correctly but, when click save: the widget shows as a Phantom icon with an error message & that's it. Un installing.
When you have a few too many contacts the scrolling doesn't work and keeps dragging you back to top. Always makes the phone lag.
This is very close to perfect but needs to be able to select order of contacts and not just groups and please make direct dial actually dial
Even if 'Show Contact Names' is disabled, the name still shows (2x4 widget). Need to be able to change configuration of an existing widget. I love the larger contact photos. The widget looks fantastic but the features need a little attention.

Developer home site looks like phishing scam. Has potential if Facebook photos were supported, but I don't trust them with my data. Uninstalling.
