I've heard rumors that the app supports widgets on IOS.  I personally think they would only be useful if it refreshes the data more frequently than when I open the app.  

But my concern: By all appearances the Widgets are not available on Android.  I have a large number of other android apps that support widgets on my phone, but Simpifi is not one.

    Here’s what the widget looks like on iOS.  Rob is correct that it only updates when you open the app.  Though I’m not an Android user now, you’ve got my vote.  I really like widgets.

    While my numbers aren't much better, this is my widget on my iPad (again, it's obvious the iPad app is the iphone app, but optionally magnified).

    My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (phone) does not offer widgets for the Simplifi app.

    Hello All,

    I was able to confirm that although there are some phone widgets for iOS, we don't currently offer any for Android. This ability for Android is now being reviewed! :smiley:

  • I recently transferred from Mint. The ONLY functionality I need is an android widget they just displays accounts with balances and updates them regularly or on push. Bonus points if clicking on the account links to the account in the simplifi app.

    Mint had a widget with this function. Currently, it appears no alternative has this ability. The first app that does so will have my long term business and I certainly hope it's Simplifi because otherwise it does everything I need it to do (I tried monarch previously which also lacked a widget with this functionality).

  • +1 would love to see a transaction widget on Android. One of the only thing keeping me with Mint (and now Empower) over SimpliFi right now.

  • I would also like to see Android Widgets added.

    Hello there!

    I would like to add my voice to this as an IOS ex-mint user! The transactions widget was something that I would use on a daily basis to see my aggregated recent transactions across multiple accounts and make sure that everything is as expected. I’ll attach a screenshot of what the transactions on mint looked like on IOS :)


    Thank you!

    I am all for a mint-like widget with summary information for my accounts. I use this feature multiple time daily and find extremely useful for monitoring my finances. I am also using Rocket Money and they too need widgets. I am hoping you guys or a competitor implement this feature so I can enjoy seeing my finances at a glance. You will definitely keep me as a customer if you implement this feature request.

    The transactions widget from Mint was my most used feature. It was so convenient.

    The lack of android widgets is my biggest problem with this app. To the point where if I found another product that offered them I'd seriously consider switching. The main widget I'd really like to see is a summary of my spending plan with how much I have left for the month. Being able to see that information at a glace would greatly improve the usability of the app. A watchlist widget would also be nice, but the spending plan would be my 1st choice.

    I add my vote for an android transactions widget. I am looking into other options that provide the widget. It cannot be that hard to implement for 2 years now. It was my most used feature with Mint and I miss it sorely.

    I'd really like this please.... Get a widget added for Android that allows me to see account net worth, account balances and monthly spend.

    Still no widgets :(

    I switched from "Spending Tracker", because it doesn't have a web app and cloud support.
    One feature I really liked is its Widget. Just a simple rectangle showing your balance and two buttons for adding an expense and income.

    Let's hope they implement this soon.
