ProWidgets tweak brings true widget based multitasking experience to iOS devices

ProWidgets tweak cydia 1

We have long fancied having interactive widgets on our iOS devices. While Apple has repeatedly failed us in meeting this demand a jailbreak developer named Alan Yip has finally delivered for us. The new ProWidgets tweak, which is now available in Cydia for download brings the true widget based multitasking experience to iOS. The tweak allows users to perform different tasks in one app while using another or from the homescreen without launching any application.

The concept behind the ProWidgets tweak is quite simple. It reduces the time and effort of going from one app to another to perform any task making the process a lot more convenient. It allows users to perform any given task without leaving the app he or she is currently using by using a widget.

The best thing about ProWidgets is that it features strong multitasking capabilities. You can keep using an app while performing different actions on the widget. For instance you can use the Google Search app and take notes using the notes widgets simultaneously. This experience is much better on the iPad, which has a larger screen, thus has more real estate to offer.
