Does anyone know an app for Android to add a widget that shows the views of the photos and / or the reviews on Google Maps? If not, can it be queried via an interface?

Hi @Varsin
It is not super clear to me what you are looking for, but check this link by my friend Nicolas De Smyter:
Adding a Local Guides Banner to your Local Guides Connect signature

I mean something like the clock widget, just with the view count of the photos or the view count of reviews.

Sorry, I have not seen that anywhere. But the data are somehow reachable since they can be pulled for my banner.

Hello @Varsin
I have noticed an app for reporting view count.
The description also says the use of the app for the first time will increase the view count of the photos.
However, it's better to stay with the stats displayed in Maps. Any unsupported app may lose that feature any time. Further, the use of any superfluous apps always carries some risk.

Hi @Varsin the Google Maps API https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation does not provide access to Local Guides information.
