ScholarWidget displays Google Scholar citation metrics on your iPhone Home Screen and Lock Screen.
Milestone alerts (free) notify you when your citations cross a milestone, your h-index goes up, or your i10-index reaches a new mark. Citation alerts (Fast Updates) notify you when a new paper cites your work. Both are opt-in toggles in the Alerts card; notification permission is only requested when you turn one on.
My Publications lists your papers with their citation counts; with Fast Updates, each paper shows the most recent papers citing it. Share My Metrics creates an image card of your metrics.
Visit your Google Scholar profile page. Your ID is the value of the user parameter in the URL. For example, in scholar.google.com/citations?user=AbCdEfG, the ID is AbCdEfG.
The widget shows placeholder data.
Make sure you have entered a valid Google Scholar profile ID in the app and tapped "Fetch" successfully.
The widget is not updating.
Widgets refresh on a schedule managed by iOS. The free widget refreshes weekly and Fast Updates every 4 hours, but iOS may delay refreshes to conserve battery.
I'm not receiving alerts.
Check that the toggle is on in the app and that notifications are allowed for ScholarWidget in Settings. Google Scholar itself can take days to index a new citation.
Fast Updates plans.
Monthly ($0.99), yearly ($7.99) or a one-time Lifetime Access purchase ($24.99). Use Restore Purchases in the app after reinstalling or switching devices.
