Widgets are a whole new way to use your iPhone. By adding Widgets to your Home screen, you can have your most important information always a glance away. But they are not just functional. Widgets can play a huge role in completely transforming the aesthetics of your iPhone.

And still, that’s not all. There’s so much more they can do for you. Like providing you your daily dose of motivation. And who doesn’t need some motivation every now and then? Whether you’re going through a rough patch, or just need it to work as fuel to the fire that’s already burning inside you, a good motivational quote can go a long way. And now, you can always have it at the forefront of your Home Screen with the help of widgets.

How to Get the Motivation Widget in iPhone

There’s no such thing as a motivational widget in the default Apple widgets, but that’s no reason to get discouraged. “Motivation – Daily Quotes” is a third-party app that lets you add a motivation widget to your iPhone Home screens. And it has a lot of quotes to cater to your needs so you’ll never run out of fresh content. The app has a freemium model, and widgets are part of the free version.

Go to the App Store and search for Motivation from the search tab. Or, better yet, click on the link below to get to the listing of the app on the App Store directly.
