Widgetsmith here (Free!)

Widgetsmith is the free app I use to place my name (or any text/emoji) basically anywhere on the iPhone Lock Screen. It’s well rated, simple to set up, and it gives you the exact widget types I show—like the top pill widget and the rectangular widget row.

Pros

+Free for the custom text Lock Screen widgets used in this tutorial
+Easy setup with a simple plus button and Custom Text option
+Supports different Lock Screen widget shapes (pill and rectangular)

Cons

-There are many similar apps in the App Store, so you need to make sure you download the correct one
