Good if you don’t like the new widget screen. It made things easier for me, but honestly, it doesn’t add much else. Fine for simple use.

Classic Widgets helped me quickly restore the old widget screen. Very easy to use and no confusing setup. Feels simple and useful, but a few more options would make it better.
