Looking for a better system info widget/app

Newbie
as the title says, i am looking for a better system info widget/app. i was using temp + cpu Pro, but that app is crashing on android 4.3 (i have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 btw).

I am currently trying Mini Info Classic, and it seems like what i am looking for. However, if I want to go pro and get full widget mods ability, it appears some people in reviews have had issues with having to pay the developer more than once after certain updates. I am all for paying someone for their work, but I also like a clear cut expectation of how its going to work ahead of time.

I have also tried widgetzoid, but it does not read my ROM/SD card contents correctly and will not report on my SD (sees internal as SD card).

Does anyone have any other/better suggestions to try? A screenshot would be appreciated if possible as well. Paid or Free - thanks to Samsung I have $50 in Google Play credit burning a hole in my Otterbox!

Thank you for all ideas!
 
What specific system metrics are you hoping to monitor?

Also take a look at Elixir (and its companion Elixir Widgets).

Thank you - I will take a look at Elixir - I think I tried it a long time ago with my Droid X...

As for what I would like to monitor - that would have helped to say, wouldnt it?

Here is what I would like to monitor:

CPU usage as a number or percentage, would like to see each core if possible, temperature
Free/Used/Total Memory
Free/Used/Total Internal Disk space
Free/Used/Total SD Card space
Battery Temp
anything else is a bonus

would like the widget to display:
CPU load
Available RAM
Internal Disk Free Space
SD Card Free Space

Thanks for your help!
 
Sounds like System Monitor may be up your alley - just keep in mind that any constantly-updating widgets (like those used for monitoring CPU/Mem usage) will use up a good amount of resources themselves.
