1. Add it
On an iPhone: touch and hold an empty part of your home screen until the apps wiggle, tap Edit or + at the top, search for NestWise, pick a size and tap Add Widget.
On an Android phone: touch and hold an empty part of your home screen, choose Widgets, find NestWise and drag it where you want it.
Either way, you need to be signed in to the NestWise app on that phone, and to have opened it once since adding the widget.
2. What it shows
- How many things need you, the same list as Needs you on Home
- Bills and payments due in the next 10 days, nearest first
- Up to three of them by name, with the day they are due
Tap a line to open that thing in the app. Tap anywhere else to open Home. When nothing needs you, it simply says so.
3. What it never shows
A home screen can be seen by anyone who picks up your phone, so the widget shows no dollar amounts and nothing about health, pregnancy, care arrangements or how you have been feeling. Those stay inside the app.
4. With the app lock on
If you have turned on the fingerprint or face lock in the app, the widget shows only Open NestWise to see what needs you until you turn the lock off.
5. When it updates
It catches up whenever you leave the app. On an Android phone it also checks again every few hours. On an iPhone it shows what the app last saw, and once that is a few hours old it says when it last checked, so open NestWise to bring it up to date.
If your phone cannot reach NestWise, it keeps what it last showed and says when it last checked. Signing out of the app clears it.
