It does "work" but interface is horrible, hard to see, barely any options, 5 minutes or longer to update image. Not worth it, author should offer a little bit more not only aesthetically, config, and functionality wise.

I know this is an older widget app but I've been using the free version for months. It's one of my favorite widgets! It works great on OS 6.0.1 on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I put my own URLs in the options section and I can look at my favorite distant spots all during the day. I finally decided to support the developer and pay the inexpensive amount of US $1.39. It's worth more to me without a doubt!
