What Ladder widgets are available? What does each widget do?

My widget is blank, showing a placeholder, or disappeared from my home screen.
If your widget is blank:
- Macro or Water widgets: Ladder Nutrition isn't activated. Open Ladder → Nutrition tab → complete onboarding.
- Steps widgets: Apple Health isn't connected. Open Ladder → Settings → Connections → Apple Health.
- Just installed the app: Give it a few minutes to sync.
- Still blank: Contact support with a screenshot of the issue.
If your widget disappeared: It was likely removed accidentally. Re-add it by long-pressing your home screen → + icon → search Ladder → pick your widget.
If you can't find Ladder widgets in the gallery: Make sure you're on the latest app version (App Store → search Ladder → update if available), then force close the app and restart your phone.
Do Ladder widgets work on iPad? Can I add them to my Lock Screen or StandBy?
Right now, Ladder widgets are iPhone home screen only. Lock Screen, StandBy, and iPad widget support are on our roadmap for a future release.
How do I change my step goal?
Open Ladder → Manage Goals → tap Edit in the top right → adjust your step goal. You can set it in 500-step increments. The default goal is 10,000 steps.
