Calendar Widget for Android
Like that I can change the background color and the text color of the widget but it gets tiring every time you update it in settings and have to get out of the settings to see what it looks like... To fix I would have a demo of the calendar you're getting so you can see what it looks like in real time. This would be helpful also if you could see it with your wallpaper background that is currently in use.
Of all calendar widgets I've tried, only this shows all future events that fit the widgets area - with others they leave the rest of bottom area empty if there is long enough time before the next entry! Doesn't make sense! And this is even more awesome, as it actually let's you scroll down to even further events! Thanks forever, you're awesome!!!
I love this widget. The only change I would make is that the event exclusion list should allow users to hide events based on exactly the text to be hidden and not that all events with those keywords are excluded. E.g. if I want to hide 'Party at Claires' the filter excludes any item with "party", "at" and "Claires" so would exclude items such as 'party at Johns' or 'leaving party'. Better still : if there was an option to hide individual items then I would have given this 5/5 stars.
The calendar layout is awesome but I am having a hard time with the fact that all of my calendar events are from the same google account, which only registers as 1 calendar color. I have multiple calendars from that Google account, but it all registers as from Google, not separate calendars. I need the contrasting colors for my brain to comprehend the different events that are happening throughout the week. Is there any way to allow users to choose what color each event shows up as?
It would be awesome if you could add a day counter at the end of the event entry so that you would know the days left (it could be with a different font, colour and / or size and it could also be at the beginning of the event entry - left or right). Finally, an option to highlight today's event would complete it. Other than that, I loved it!
This calendar widget has everything I need, itneven has functions I personally don't need but can understand why others could. The widget itself is minimalistic and stylish with good options for customising the look to you taste. The options and settings part of this little widget is where it's magic lies, the options you get for optimising the widget to suit you are very good and make this the best and most versatile calendar widget I've been able to find!
I've been using this for the past couple of years after trying just about every single app out there and this is the perfect calendar widget. I can't think of anything more in terms of feature or customizability that I could want. Thank you devs!
I would give this app 5 stars but for some reason birthdays come up on my calendar and I've unsynced all the calendars it would come from. I don't know how to get rid of them. They are birthdays of people I barley know. It must be from an email, but I've unchecked all the emails and it still won't go away.
The only widget I found which works nicely with S Planner and Nova launcher. All the others are bloated with useless features while this one does exactly what promised - a simple widget that displays your calendar and launches your preferred calendar app when clicking the event. This is exactly what I was missing on Galaxy S.
I upgraded to a new phone, old one had the calendar version that came with the 4.2.2 Android and the widget worked like a charm. I had to download it for this phone and fails to do the most basic thing; auto update when the day changes. I have a J pro (J3110) on Android 5.1.1
It froze updates a week ago. Not happy! Contacted the developers via the links provided and the links go to GitHub not the calendar widget development team. They say the freezing is not in their power to fix. Doubly Not Happy!
This has worked fine on my Samsung galaxy s5 for years, but after a factory reset, it no longer appears. It doesn't seem to be installed in the widgets pages, so all I can do is alter the settings, but I can't run the widget. What have I done wrong?
Thank you for plugging the gap that Samsung have left in the S7 planner, I now have my widget back!! Only problems are refresh doesn't do anything and no matter how I set the previous or present date, it defaults to 1982 & I have to scroll all the way forward each time I use it!!! Please help, then you'll have 5 stars and a great review!!!
My husband has this app on his phone and it works fine. Tried to use it on my phone (same as my husband's) but it won't do anything - just shows the app graphic, and neither of us can see how to resolve the problem. Very disappointing.
Excellent app. Looks great, no bugs or lagging that I have seen. I resized the widget in Nova Pro, and it adapted to the full screen size without trouble. I do wish that I could change the size of the header text, but that's a minor nitpick. Nexus 5X on Android Nougat.
This app is perfect - suits my limited needs perfectly. The one exception is that it somehow made the Tasks screen the default, and there is no way to change it, so I always have to tell it to sit down and shut up and go to the month screen before I can do anything. I don't have any Tasks, and never will, so it's doubly annoying.
Used to work well but it never updates on its own. I'll change an appointment or something in my calendar but it doesn't update I or even change days unless I remove the widget then add it back
This is the best widget for a vertical list of next events. I was looking for something exactly like this. Please add reminders, I'd pay for that! Oh, and I'd suggest changing the icon, it's quite ugly, haha, it doesn't match the actual design.
I used to be able to select a date range to view. Now, I can't. It only let's the calendar display events that ended as far back as YESTERDAY. Really!?! I want to look at events two months back and two months forward, not back to 2014. This is because I can only choose the default color for events or tasks everything pops up.
The calendar widget works great! Except it doesn't sync with my Google calendar. Some things are only on the Google calendar. Some things are only on the widget. It's very frustrating, because i use my phone and the calendar widget for work, home, and appointments.
.. Buuut like all the others it only shows Google events, not reminders. Google reminders are much easier to set with Google Now and provide the same function. Google's calendar/agenda widget shows reminders but is ugly... I wish you guys could implement this feature.
The only thing I would add is an option to increase the padding between events -- the widget can start looking crowded, especially when there are a lot of all day events.
Nice looks. But still has niggly problems. Deleting an event from the calendar does cause the widget to update itself. Needs to be scrolled down and refreshed for it to work. Deleting the event when there is no network means we have to deselect the calendar and reselect it for that item to go. All this testing was done after adding new items to the "phone calendar".
My widget has been serving my needs very well, but it quit working a few hours ago. Just several rows of "Loading... " Please advise. Thanks! - - - PS: I removed and replaced the widget. Seems to be working now. Hope this workaround helps others. :)
2014...I wanted an easy to use, no ad, transparent widget and this had it all. Update June 2016...still like the widget but wishing it supported the new Google reminders. I had to go back to the ugly Google widget so nothing was missed on my agenda.
One of the best agenda widgits out there. The only thing I can't figure out how to do is change the color of each calendar icon. Not sure if it's possible but it should be.
The only issue I have with this application is the lack of automatic update settings. I have to refresh it manually on day change or after a while because it doesn't realise the time passed
Calendar events have stopped updating and the manual refresh button doesn't work.
I was a die hard "Agenda Widget Professional" devotee, But it seems Mr. Harrison is no longer available/developing that product.(since 4.0, but it still works rather well) I decided maybe it's time to move on, and this has a lot of features I appreciate. Small fonts, and a condensed layout are key. colors and scrolling. It's a SUPER SMALL file, which is rather amazing. I still cannot figure out how the background and colors works, and there are a few wishlist items I'd like to add someday. So far it's incredibly stable, and the developer responded quickly to even a non-technical question. I will update this as I get more used to the widget. Thanks!
Agenda widget is unattended, and this is a great replacement. Wish there was a bar at the top for the full current date in a 2x2 format. Right now it cuts it off and has the toolbar buttons.
Simple to use. Looks nice, great viewing options! Love the way you can change the colors! Great app! Thanks!
This app was my go-to widget however lately it does not update. It's still stuck on December the 8th. Doesnt refresh when events added to my calendar. Only way I can get it to update/fix is to remove widget and replace.. but then issue reoccurs. Kind of tedious.
No option to see more than a month out. Awesome asthetic, looks clean and easy to navigate. But without the ability to see more than a few weeks at a time, not very useful.
I wish I can customize the header because it is really hard to see with out color
Please please please include tasks and/or reminders ala the new Google Calendar. Beautiful layout, pleasing to scan through everyday, moves on from past events automatically and compact without being too busy looking. Like it.
One issue is that horizontal lines are used to link events and dates above and below lines, but they seemed to form boxes that hold events and dates together, took me a while to notice that was not the case when the dates did not match the event. An option to move the location of this line would be helpful. Another issue is that the color of the colored block sometimes reflects calendar settings, but more often it just ignores those settings. It would help to be able to change those colors.
Originally used to replace widget on Samsung S series phone when built in widget disappeared. Had difficulty at first since when installing only downloads settings icon but not widget itself. Fooled around with it and suddenly the widget started working on phone. It's a great widget working so well on phone I decided to add it to my Samsung Note Tablet 10. Same issue as before. Installed settings icon but no calendar widget even though settings are set to my default calendar. I can't recall how I got widget itself to appear on phone and I'm hardly a mobile device illiterate. Something is wrong when you create an app that doesn't make obvious how to activate full widget. Uninstalled. Waste of space unless you know how to unlock the magic key to get widget itself to appear on screen. Fortunately old widget still working on tablet although it's not as good as one on phone. Going to get new phone soon and wonder what will happen if I try to install this on new device. Useless without widget! Surely I'm not the only one with this issue and nothing on Github.
This was a great widget but now events from all calendars are showing one day later than they are on the parent calendars which makes it rather pointless. Asus 173X tablet. Android 4.2.2
I like this little widget, but the one thing that I find annoying is that you cannot alter the color that is assigned to your calendar. Currently I'm stuck at red, and the only way I can tell to change that is alter the order you add calendars, but even then the colors that are showing up on the Calendars section are pretty unappealing. I want a gray/black/neutral that I can edit based on my background.........please. Also, I too have had to completely uninstall/reinstall the app several times to get it to update, but have only had to do that a few times - annoying, yes.....but by no means a frequent thing.
