Back before Apple brought widgets to Notification Center via the Today screen, one of the more popular widget requests was for something that showed the most recent tweets in a user's timeline. There were plenty of options for just that in Cydia, the jailbreak store, and it was expected that such things would be equally popular once iOS 8 and its widgets shipped back in September.
Apple's tendency to delay the introduction of features found on competing devices does tend to irk the iOS-loving community. After all, it took until 2012's introduction of the iPhone 5 for the company's product line to see 4G LTE, and lest we forget that NFC - a standard feature of many high-end handsets for years - only arrived with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus a matter of months ago. But Apple's tendency not to rush means that said features are more refined when they do eventually manifest, and with many wondering how smaller-handed folk would deal with iOS on a 4.7 or 5.5-inch footprint leading up to the latest arrivals, the question was answered with Reachability. Now, one tweak manages to expand this implementation further, allowing jailbreakers to add widgets in the space left by dragging the UI downwards.

Even though Apple has, with iOS, sought to make it easy for us to capture photos and videos quickly before that Kodak Moment passes us by, there's always a bit of a delay, and it's the split-second wait while we open up the app, gather our composure, position the device and shoot, that can be the difference between a perfect, treasured snap and a blurred impression of the aftermath. The app we're featuring today has made a name for itself on Google's Android in the past for the speed in which it permits one to take photos, and with widget support also a part of the deal following the iOS 8 update, this is one tool that all amateur photographers should have in their armory.
