Flippr is a free Android app which lets you access widgets from anywhere on your Android smartphone. Widgets are one of those elements of Android OS which make it cooler and stand apart from other smartphone OS out there. Widgets are like shortcuts which let you see data from different apps, without launching them. The only flaw about them is that you can’t access them from anywhere and you have to minimize the app on which you are working on, then swipe across all apps to go to Widget screen. It can prove to be really awful when you are watching a video, playing a game, or working on some full screen app as you will have to leave the app in middle.

The Flippr app helps you from this problem, and that too quite effectively. This app lets you access any of your widgets from any app without leaving it. For example, you are working on some document on your Android smartphone and you need to use calculator app widget. Then you don’t have to leave the document viewer app. Just use Flippr, calculate what you want to calculate even without leaving the app. This app also lets you group widgets in different groups and then customize them as per your preference like their size, appearance, etc..

Accessing Widget Using Flippr App

Note: Free version of Flippr app lets you make 2 groups with 3 widgets each. It means you can access up to 6 widgets in free version. For removing this limitation and access more advanced feature, you need to upgrade to PRO version of the app.
