Add it to your Home Screen

  1. Go to the Home Screen

    Hold an empty area until the app icons start to jiggle.

  2. Open the widget gallery

    Choose Edit → Add Widget. Older iOS versions use +.

  3. Find BillsOn

    Select the app; if its old name is shown, look for Payment Reminder.

  4. Add the matching size

    Choose the size you configured in BillsOn, add it and finish editing.

The widget looks different

Small and medium widgets support a system Configuration parameter. If Edit Widget shows it, use Configuration 1 for the appearance saved by the current BillsOn wizard. Match the installed widget size to the size you configured. The large widget has separate appearance settings.
