Surely, Google Play is the home ground of many a widget, and while we've already separated the wheat from the chaff numerous times, a multitude of new ones hits the app repository on a regular basis. That's why it's rather hard to keep tabs on all the new widgets that make the rounds for Android. Surely, even the most dedicated Android fans have a tough time keeping track of these.
Here are the better ones that landed on the store in the last fortnight.
Galaxy S6 Zooper Widget
Download ($1.05)
A pack of skins for Zooper Widget that resemble the clock and wather widgets on the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge.

Provided that the weather/clock widget of HTC's new Sense UI 7 caught your eye the most during the announcement of the HTC One M9, then this skin for Zooper Widget will probably interest you.

Wear Charging Widget
Download (free)
No, this widget yon't magically charge your Android Wear device. It's a widget that won't turn off your wearable's display when you're charging it. Don't worry, it will conveniently prevent AMOLED display burn-in by slowly displacing the text on a frequent basis.
