Simple Calendar Widget

Motorola Xoom Tablet: recently started failing when I try to open settings. Uninstalled and reinstalled, no help. Still works fine on my moto x smart phone. Was great while it worked, I'd give it five stars when it working. Also, the developer appears not to be committed to the app as they do not respond to email.

It's not just a calendar widget but also a to do list widget. BUT BUT BUT only two to do list managers are included - extinct Astrid and not so famous G tasks. The leading to do list apps like Todoist, trello, google now tasks, wunderlist and any.do are not included. a SUGGESTION: task should also have a checkbox or ability to cross strike through text and should not just become invisible. Still i highly recommend it but will continue to look for alternatives.

This is a great little product, but since more than a year Google tasks (from Dato Gtasks) don't show up in the widget anymore. Just calendar items. Will there ever be a fix for this? It would be a five star app. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong (although I had it running OK before Lollipop), in which case please help!

Used to work great with the GTasks task list, but now doesn't. Each time I wake my phone, the widget says tasks aren't found, and I need to restart Simple Calendar and go into settings and set Tasks to Dato GTasks again (even though it's already set). Only then are tasks visible or launchable from the widget. If this was fixed, it's a great tasks widget.

I found this to replace another non-functioning calender widget and need it to be able to use the calender app I have in use. It seemed like it was going to go swimmingly until I tried to get the widget to actually respond to my settings. the app kept opening another calender app of which was not on the settings but I guess was default because it wasn't reading my app or something. Nice looking and sleek. If only it wanted to work for me like it promises.

I used to be able to customize Date format using java formatting mmm-dd HH:MM AM but now this option has been removed. Now the minutes don't display when it's 00 and AM/PM is capitalized when there is minutes but not when it is on the hour. This is making things not align. Please put back this option.

I just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Android 6.0.1 but it just won't work. I've had this app on my phone for a couple of years and have absolutely loved it! My phone also runs 6.0.1 with no problems. I hope you can fix this so I can give you 5 stars again. Please, will you fix this?

Highly recommend. Perfectly personalizable in shape, size, color, transparency, calendar app (yes, it shows your google calendar tab as well) which it opens after a tap, and so on. No crushing, no lagging, no bugs discovered yet. Out of over 20 widgets tried (and many more dismissed due to lack of personalization options) this one is the winner.

Users...please check-out the Holo skin. I got a new phone with the default sucky calendar widget. I wanted the nice widget that came pre-installed on my old phone. I found this great app, but the default skin is too large to be useful on a phone which made me almost pass up this app. Fortunately I reviewed the screen shots and download the Holo skin. Thanks for the scene shots and helpful video.

LUV IT b4 when it first came out all the way up until recently. Now I absolutely hate it! Now you can't copy and change appointments info. Or any other parts of your calendar like you used to! You have to make your appointments/task all over again what's the point it was so nice when all you had to do is copy change a few things and poof keep going about your day.

This app deserved 5 stars until I went to a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge, marshmallow, android 6. The Tasks from GTask no longer display! I've emailed, asking for help a couple of times, with no response at all to my emails.... very disappointing. I use this to show my Google calendars, along with GTasks and has been great for years. Maybe an update is needed? Maybe some sort of response? It shows Google calendars very nicely, but no tasks or reminders from Google, nor GTasks on this newer phone.

This has perfection written all over it! I have been using it for a number of years, and it is the most prized item on my phone, second only to my phone book. With so many settings to personalize to any one's need, there is nothing to dislike. Alarms. instant access since it is a widget as opposed to an app. only shows dates & events you choose rather than empty dates in a full month as in traditional calendars. Just complete perfection!

Very customizable and works well, and the icing on the cake is to export and import configuration that still works across all Android versions. Only that it has not been updated for more than 3 years! Reminders in Google Calendar don't show because it's a more recent feature from Google. Would be great if the developer could breathe some life into the widget. Sad.

The data formating on my phone often gets corrupt - have to refresh the widget to clean it up. On the tablet it crashes every time I want to enter settings... Fix, please. Otherwise the best looking calendar widget on the play store.

I finally gave in and got a Google+ account just to say that I've had three smartphones over 6 years and all of them have used this calendar. Wish there was a similarly styled month calendar widget but this is still great.

Please let me know if you plan to update your support for task applications. Astrid is no more and gtask does not support recurring tasks on the free version. The free version is all I need... except for recurring tasks :) I would like to continue using your widget as I still think it is the best out there

I used this widget for years and really loved it. It was perfect as it did exactly what I wanted and could make it look exactly as I wanted. Unfortunately it started crashing my touchwiz home (Samsung s3) a little while ago now, so unfortunately it has to go

Widget on my home screen doesn't Update automatically anymore after recent update. I have to manually go to widget settings and preview the appearance and then accept it in order to update current date on my homescreen widget. Please fix this issue. Other than this issue I love your app. Mobile: Xperia ZR Lollipop 5.0.1

Have this installed on four devices. Works well on all of them but cannot access the settings on my galaxy note pro running KitKat. Force closes when I try to access settings. I have sent multiple crash reports. Hopefully there is a solution for this. Anyway thanks for a great app experience!

It's great to be able to have a summary of the most immediate up-coming events on my Home Screen but what I'd really like is to be able to have it on my Lock Screen as well. Is that possible? If not, would you consider it as an enhancement request?

Since the latest update this app has been draining my battery abnormally. Currently it's sitting at 47% of the battery usage since last charge, with CPU total time 4h30m out of about 9h30m on battery. I really like this app/widget, but you guys need to fix this or I can't keep using it.

Love(d) this widget, have been using it for years. However, out of a sudden (after Lollipop upgrade?) tasks from GTasks are no longer displayed. Not good. Especially considering the last update for SCW was nearly 18 months ago, so there's no real hope for a fix. Shame really.

This used to be my favorite agenda widget, and for many years, I had it installed on all of my Android devices. Unfortunately, ever since publisher MYCOLORSCREEN acquired this app from the original developer, support has been dropped. The app hasn't been updated since 2013, and it's buggy and unreliable in Marshmallow. Therefore, I've given up on Simple Calendar Widget, and I'm now using Event Flow Widget instead.

This app. is very customizable and easy to set up. The one option that I'd like to have is line spacing...but that's getting pretty advanced in options. After going through many widgets this one is my favorite and I'm sticking with it :-)

With the recent upgrade to lollipop, I've can't show more than one day at a time even though the setting to show only one day is not checked. Else everything else is great, been using this for the last few years.

When I switched to the Pixel XL and tried to apply the same settings I've always used, the text ended up all aligning middle instead of flush left. This happens with all alternative layouts. Anybody know of a fix?

I use your app for 4 years, love it, thanks. Recently switched to Android 7, after that event text no more aligned to left, instead it's aligned to center. Didn't figured out how to correct it with settings. Please, fix!

I've been using this calendar for more than a year, highly customizable, looks awesome on my homepage layout. Unfortunately, I'm switching to a different calendar now as it eats a lot of RAM now. Occasionally crashes too when you're changing settings.

I like the way you can customise the widget with the calendars and the tasks. However, when sync is enabled on my phone the widget goes crazy (reloads every few secs) and it has an impact on the overall performance. This issue happens only when the sync is enabled (after a period when it was disabled eg. in the morning). It usually lasts for 5 minutes until the phone completes syncing all the accounts configured...

My widget appears to have stopped loading more than a single event, and has stopped looking more than a day ahead on my calendar. I've cleared the cache and checked the settings, and everything seems to be good, but I can't get it to work.

No matter how many backups I made, all of them disappear in less than a day. Sometimes the widget forgets to refresh, so I'm looking at the same day's schedule for two days in a row.

Used to love this widget for my quick look, go-to calendar. But when I moved from my Galaxy Note 4 to my Galaxy Note 5, I keep getting unknown error 505 when I install. Tried all the suggested steps from Google but no dice.

Used to work just fine. Rebooted my phone one day and the widget disappeared. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled. There are no simple calendar widgets in the widget drawer. Removed/installed and rebooted many times to no avail. What is the fix? I'm using nova launcher and it worked previously.

I had to install twice but 2nd time it works perfectly, at least so far. I was able to format a rectangle on my home page which lists my next 20 (or more) appointments in a scrollable vertical column. Very configurable but it takes a while to find your way through all the sub-sections. Not particularly ”easy" but like my daddy used to say: "Keep hitting it with a hammer -- sooner or later it'll break !"

Lacks some more design options that could make the app widget appear better. There is no text align option, which would be nice to add.

I have used this app (or at least TRIED to) for several years now. It's a shame that the developer is no longer interested in supporting it. This was the only widget that could be customized with different fonts, colors, etc AND worked in sync with GTasks and Google Calendar AT THE SAME TIME. Now, it no longer plays nicely with GTasks and only gives me half of what I need. I have tried to contact the dev multiple times but I feel like I'm emailing a ghost. TOO BAD.

Under appearance, skin tweaks, alternative layouts, a custom option should be possible using the correct key words to layout your own preference.

Widget was never fully functional. "clickable anywhere" simply never worked, not on any phone or any launcher. Cannot change font, shadows, no such an option... Tasks keep disappearing!!!

I love this widget and have used it for years. Had to do a hard reset of my Samsung Galaxy S5 after upgrading to Lollipop 5.0 and since then I can't install this app. It looks like it downloads most of but not all the way, but then tries to install and I get an error message. "Unable to install due to unknown error "-505" Please fix this, as I love your product and haven't found anything else that works the way I want it to.

Major drawback! Isolated the widget to being the biggest culprit for battery drain. Attempt to email the developer asking for a way to change the sync frequency met with no reply. Otherwise, was a good widget.
