Widgetize Application

Widgetize is an application for iOS, that allows the user to create custom widgets for their iPhone and iPad homescreens. Certain features within the app may require an in-app purchase. Some parts of the app may require certain system permissions for proper function (e.g. global hotkeys). If you choose to deny any or all of these permissions to the app, certain functions may not operate properly.

Some parts of the Service require an in-app purchase and may be billed once or on a subscription basis (“Subscription(s)”).

Previously made purchases may have to be restored manually (e.g. when the app was deleted).

Subscriptions are declared as such and billed in advance on a recurring and periodic basis (“billing cycle”). Billing cycles are set either on a monthly or annual basis, depending on the type of Subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. The Subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing cycle. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current billing cycle. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your account settings on the App Store after purchase.
