can we install widgets?

Hi. I just got a nexus 6. I was on iPhone before. I know how to add available widgets, but can we get/buy additional widgets from the play store? I can't find a widget section in the play store and if I Google it, it takes me to a page in the play store that looks like a widget section/category, but when u click on various ones they are apps, not widgets. Are we really just limited to the apps that come on the phone? Sorry if this is newbie -ish. I'm googling and learning.

If you want, say, a clock widget, put clock widget in the search bar and most of the apps you'll see will be widgets. You have to specify widget in your search. (Even then, you'll get some apps that don't have widgets, and a lot of widgets are just homepage interfaces to apps.)

Any Android phone can install widgets from the Play Store, Amazon Appstore or any place you can find them. (I wouldn't look on places I wasn't sure are safe, though. You don't want viruses on your phone.)

OK, thanks! I'll try it that way. I'm excited to have an android phone now. Loving it!
