Remembering special and important anniversaries, like the day you got your pet or the date you got married, makes us happy, don’t you? In this article, I'll introduce how to set up a widget to enjoy such anniversaries, even more, using the popular widget app "WidgetClub".
App must needed for Setting Up an Anniversary Widget!
To set up an anniversary widget, you need to download a dedicated app. I recommend an app called "WidgetClub". It's a popular app that allows you to add customizable widgets to your home screen and lock screen!
Why the WidgetClub is recommended?
It's characterized by simple and intuitive operation, with a high degree of design freedom, allowing you to create widgets to your liking.
There are two types of anniversary-related widgets: a "countdown widget" that counts down the days until the anniversary, and an "anniversary widget" that shows how many days have passed since the anniversary!
How to Download WidgetClub
First, Download WidgetClub from the App Store or Google Play. Once downloaded, launch the app and complete the initial setup.
