I asked for this a year and a half ago. It all wonderful that you guys support every fricken platform on the planet but please give equal time to the widgets and improvements to the apps (hint tablet support)
Supporting hardware platforms and app development are different resources and they don’t affect each other.
Image widget is still at the concept stage.
Its my perception and maybe Incorrect, that there seems to always be more progress/activity on the platform vs the app development space. Which is surprising as isn’t the app side of things where you make any money?
UI/UX usually harder and more complex to develop in comparison with backend/embedded especially when you try to make it perfect

@Dmitriy I’m really missing an image widget. I need to show some images on the dashboard that change according to the status of the phisical system under monitoring.
It a very simple widget just change the image according to the value of a int variable.
Value–>url association must be done in configuration phase.
I don’t need dynamic image. Just lightweight static PNG file that can be pre-loaded on the server.
Graphical rapresentation of phisical object are common in SCADA dashboard and we need to use the same graphic convention also in the mobile app.
We are working on UI for this widget.

One user case could be for a weathestation, showing showing a sun, cloud or moon image based on values from a LDR sensor. Or showing some High and low preasure images.
A image widget could be limited to only showing jpgs and gifs with a max size og xxx kb. And it was up the the user to have them stored on the web somewhere.
I would like to make my own video (or at least snapshot) doorbell that notifies me, shows me a picture of the intru… er… guest… and lets me chose whether to remotly unleash the Nerf Super Soaker Water Blaster 
I already do this! 
My security cam software on my Diskstation has an API to record from a certain camera and also pull snapshots of videos and send them as RTSP strem.
Just waiting for the video widget to arrive on iOS! 
Pavel, any update on this widget?
@Dmitriy Is any part of Blynk open source? I’m asking because I would like to contribute to creating this widget as it’s something for which I have a good use and need.
I want to install a Pi camera, then when I press a button widget in the app have the pi camera on the device snap a photo, then communicate it via the Blynk library back to a widget in the app.

Nope .
Image widget is for predefined image and not for dynamic. But dynamic image is good too.
Finally, the image widget is coming! Stay tuned
