BITS™ Widget Pro for Android
All features are permanently enabled in this Pro version of BITS Widget:
- Unlimited bits per widget
- Set location from GPS or manually lock it to a specific place
- Unlimited widgets each with a unique location
- Show time and weather for multiple locations
- Save and restore layouts
- Tasker integration (show variables, trigger refresh)
- Resize home screen cells
- Enable or disable any size widget from 1x1 to 4x4
- Launch any shortcut from any bit
- Use graphics from SD card as a bit
Create a widget that shows the time, date and current weather conditions and then assign shortcuts so that touching the time opens a clock app, touching the date opens a calendar app, and touching the weather opens up a weather app. Or, load a photograph from the SD card and assign a shortcut so that touching that photo automatically calls that person, sends a text message, or opens that person’s phone book record.
BITS Pro is also completely integrated with Tasker, with the ability to show the value of any variable in Tasker and to have Tasker trigger on-screen updates.
Each widget created with BITS Pro can show information from a unique location which can be set using GPS or manually locked to a single location. One widget can show time and weather where you are while another shows the time and weather "back home" or somewhere else.

I do. But...I have now installed it twice each on my Streak and my Galaxy SII, and it's still NOT accurate. Thunderstorming now, but Bits says no rain
This app is a brilliant app but id like to be able to angle the clock and any text, also possibly make text look block formed for a 3d visual effect. The only thing i do dislike is the rain effect for the weather as it looks naff but that said i highly recommend this app as its easy to use and almost limitless
Great for adding useful information to home screen. Size, especially font size, seemed difficult to manipulate me. Fixing that would be a welcome improvement.
Last update was 6 months ago!
Not only is it customizable, it actually has wind speed & direction w/a transparent background to boot.
This is the best weather app I've ever used. Highly customizable.
Just bad all around
Does the job of ten widgets.
Battery, free ram, disc, sd card, time, date, sunrise/set, moon phase. It's an info widget, launcher, speed dialer, photo frame. No, no wallpaper
By all appearances prior to buying and downloading BITS, it appeared that it could completely customized my homescreen and wallpapers. Unfortunately, I was dissapointed with the offering. It's both simple and complex, redundant and easy to use. I uninstalled it...it does nothing for me that the local "wave3 weather app" doesn't do. Seemed to use quite a bit of battery, even with the least settings...at one hour intervals.
Great app. Wish setup screen was a little larger.
Very easy to use, super app! The first widget I made with out was worth the money for the pro version. Read the reviews posted on the free version.
VERY flexible app. Seems to be the only app like it. It is really good looking also. Well worth the pro version. Recommended!
Configurable out the wazoo! Great for those who really want a custom look.
It's a juvenile program that requires a few more iterations before it's really ready.
