iOS 14 - Fail on iPad, Fantastic on iPhone. – Launcher with Multiple Widgets Review

Did this first on my iPhone with iOS 14 and it works beautifully as I stacked 4 MED launcher widgets together for my favorite apps on the 1st Home Screen. This gave me the rest of the screen for my other new iOS widgets and an scrolling app drawer with a bunch of apps on one page. But this does not work on iPad, I only have the classic pre iOS 14 widgets available. The point was to stack them with other app widgets at the top of that sidebar of widgets on the iPad for me, specifically that portion that allow you to keep widgets stick to the Home Screen at all times. I know that Apple won’t let the Home Screen have widgets yet like on iPhone. But the classic widget has to stay below the top section of the always showing sidebar widgets and they don’t stack. FEATURE REQUESTS: 1. I would like a transparent background option. 2. Would also like a small widget size that looks exactly like 4 app category looks in the new App Library in iOS 14 TIPS/TROUBLESHOOTING: Saw some others having understandable issues with the app, here are possible solutions: 1. Pro version on iPhone doesn’t carry over to iPad (or Vice Versa) A: Yes it does, but it is not automatic. In the Launcher app Home Screen, hit the menu icon on the top left (three horizontal bars) and select “Restore Purchases”. I have had this problem on others apps in the past so I knew to check the settings for this. I just think that’s how in app purchases are handled OR the developer has code something that checks you iCloud purchases to auto apply an in-app purchase to multiple devices. However this might not be the case. See “3.” below For what might have happened. 2. Can’t reorder icons. A: Yes you can, you have to do it in the Launcher app. Get into your desired widget and hit the edit icon in the top right corner (it’s the square with pencil inside icon). The icon will get that delete x in the corners, now you can press and drag your icons around or delete them. They don’t wiggle so it’s not obvious that your can reorder them. Also on the Launcher Home Screen this same edit icon allows you to rename your widgets instead of Med 1, 2, 3, etc.... 3. iOS 13 and older Launcher Pro version purchase doesn’t carry over to iOS 14. A: See “1.” above to restore your purchase. Don’t know if it will work but worth a shot. If the developer did put in a new pro in-app purchase so users of older versions had to pay again, that’s just SHAMEFULL!!! But I don’t know if that is what it is. I didn’t like having apps in my sidebar area in iOS 13 widget area so I deleted this app and never purchased Pro before iOS 14 went live.
