Pop-ups are often seen as a negative thing. In the early internet days, computer users were constantly worried about pop-ups cluttering their screen and eventually slowing down their machine. Today, pop-up blockers keep these nuisances to a minimum.
Pop-ups in a smartphone capacity aren’t always a problem to be solved. Instead, you can leverage the power they offer to your advantage. An application called Popup Widget 3 allows Android phone users to build custom widget pop-ups that only occupy a single one-by-one tile on the screen. When you click on the tile, it brings up whatever widget you are seeking to use.
The application allows you to build pop-ups for any widget you might need, while keeping the icon contained to a single square tile to help you maintain app organization on your home screen. Users aren’t limited to a single widget, however. You can build a custom pop-up that brings up multiple applications or widgets with a single tap of an icon.
Any two (or three, perhaps) apps that you use in tandem, such as a flight or hotel booking app and your calendar, can be cajoled into opening at the same time in a manner of your choosing. The Pop-up Widget 3 app costs $1.49, and it brings serious organizational potency to your Android usage routine for the price.
