I have 54 apps. I use 18 of them. I'm comfortable with the ones I have and don't try to get the latest popular ones. No app games or any of that crap.

I love having widgets in my homescreen and I've been using them for years in Android. For me it was great news when Apple embraced them cause I thought we were going to take advantage of that, as apps would do better widgets for both platforms. However, that was years ago and in my opinion widgets in Android aren't still good enough.
In terms of design, they don't follow any rule in relation to shape or colors. But they are also few and don't receive the same attention as the app itself.
What do you think? Do you use widgets?
