Thanks a million for this information.:D I surprised myself and got the barcode app to work! I now have fancy widgets and happy as a clam!! Thanks soooo much for posting for us.


If you like the Barcode Scanner I highly recommend that you try Shop Savvy. It will use your device's camera to read the UPC barcode off of merchandise and then shop Internet and local retailers (GPS enabled) to find the best pricing.

Thanks so much for this post. I have been wanting an app just like this, cheap bastard that I am. Kills me when I find out I could have paid less.

yup but the only thing is, GPS will consume more battery I believe.

Not necessarily and even IF true, irrelevent. Once your Fancy Widget finds your location you can shut off GPS or Wireless Network location as the app now knows your location.

The only time you would need to turn GPS or Wireless Networks is if you change location. It does not need to remain on for weather updates.

I've played with alot of diff. Weather apps and think Fancy Widgets is one of the best. I have a little too much time on my hands, so I really do try them all; Fancy Widgets looks great and is free. It's actually a Widget that you don't have to do anything extra to see the weather and unlike Beautiful Widgets, doesn't really drain your battery (from what I read, not experience)

Love to take a screen shot but it looks bad through my webcam (8MP) and don't have or know which screen grab app to use??? :thinking:

Hope that helped...
If your looking for a widget that looks great, this is it.
I found it on the web, not in the marketplace......

You can use "shootme" for the screen capture. it's free and it works fine.
As far as a weather widget, I tried this one but have recently opted for the cleaner look of the weather.com widget. (wide banner) it displays the current weather plus the next day. Looks sharp.

Fancy Widgets is a freebie teaser app with limited feature. If you like what you see so far, for a few dollars I would highly recommend Weather & Toggle Widget (aka Weather Widget Donate). This paid version gives you over 150 skins, 3 different size widgets, but best of all I absolutely love the animation of rolling clouds, lightening, dripping rain drops & windshield wiper action with the free Weather Forecast Addon app.

I've also tried Beautiful Widgets for a day but uninstalled and got refund. This was during the time the developer was going through the change of weather service and had all types of FC problems. I heard that it is fixed now, I might give this another try.
