About Pixel Pill Widget (Pro)

IN STUDY MODE: APP DEVELOPMENT HALTED

The first and only Pixel Pill Widget with all features free and without ads!

"Without a doubt the best application that perfectly simulates the original widget of the Google Pixel, or even I would say for its tremendous configuration options, that this application even goes far to surpass the much sought after and desired by all new search widget of Google and weather forecast." - Android Sis

"The Pixel Pill Widget is far more customizable and can be adapted to your tastes in terms of both its looks and its functions. - Uptodown

The Pixel Pill Widget app gives you the Google Pill widget in the same style as seen in Google's Pixel Launcher.

The pro version is free as of version 2.0.0

Works with all launchers which support widgets.
This widget works with all launchers that support widgets, meaning you can use it on your everyday launcher.
No need to download additional launchers!

Integrated system time
The widget integrates the current system time in the same format and style as seen in the Pixel Launcher.

Receive weather info using your preferred weather provider.
Enable the weather feature to receive weather info for your location automatically directly from your chosen weather provider.
Currently supported: Google Awareness (not Google Weather), Open Weather Map and Weather Underground.
Note: You need your own api keys to use the weather providers (excluding Google Awareness). A built in api key is included for open weather map. Enter "#" as the api key for open weather map.
Note: Google Awareness roughly refreshes its data every 3 hours. Use another weather provider if you need more regular weather updates.

Customise colours
Customise the pill background, logo and text colours with transparency support to better match your home screen. With a transparent shade of a colour, make the pill see-through, making your wallpaper visible!

Google App Integration
With one touch on the Pill, you can either access Google Now, Google Search or Google Voice Search.

Check the weather with Google Weather
One touch on the weather info takes you to Google Weather.

View your tasks and events with Google Calendar
A touch on the date opens Google Calendar.

Beta Testing
Beta Testing is currently closed. If there are significant new features or changes, then a link will be posted to join again.

Notes
1) If you have an Xiaomi device with MIUI, you must allow the app to run in the background and download data in the background via the Xiaomi security app. Xiaomi MIUI disables all background processes for battery saving by default.
2) If you use mobile data, you will have to enable background data or allow the app to explicitly download data in the background when background data is disabled.

Great app. For those of you saying the weather in not updating you need to get an API key from the website provided in the app. Just sign up for the free API key and authorize it. Then make sure the weather provider you authorized is selected under weather. Google awareness does not update more then every four hours!! Thanks for the great app! Stop being dopes and actually use your brains!

This app has great potential, but i frequently come across the same problem. I set the refresh rate to every 30 minutes, but the widget often didn't refresh for hours. I've used this app for many times and i like it. But I can't use it for too long if this keeps coming up. For now I'm using a different app, but i will return once this problem has been fix. Thank you

So far so good.. Loved this feature on old phone with Nova Launcher.. Don't want to install that on my new Note 8..this is an excellent, lightweight, replacement. I only wish I could choose another app to open When clicking on the date... I use Informant, not Google Calendar

X70%
by X####:

I like the Pixel style search bar and this app allows you to have that. Seems to work as intended. I can also click on the date to launch the calendar app which is nice. It doesn't allow to assign any app to that action, though. I read people complaining about the weather not being accurate. I don't use that so I don't know. It does what I need it to do.

N70%
by N####:

Took me a while to figure out how to setup the weather. Even after entering the api key, i still got the ? icon. Restart did nothing, i had to remove the widget and add it again. Other than this, i love it. I wanted something that would open google weather which i absolutely love.

M70%
by M####:

Great little app is easy to use and somewhat customizable. The only thing I wish it could do was add border colors to the text/Google logo. You can change the color of both but not the borders. Having that option would make it an easy recommendation.

N70%
by N####:

I like the look of this widget, but I have one problem with it. The weather part of the widget gets stuck on certain temperatures, therefore, it's inaccurate. Mine has been stuck on 64 degrees for days, and the temp has fluctuated 25 degrees in those days. Once this is fixed, i will give more stars.

N70%
by N####:

In theory this is a good app. It's simple. Which is great. However the weather part didn't work for me. And it was a main reason why I wanted this app. I just got a little question mark for weather, no matter what I did. Also a suggestion... a way to like click and refresh would be great.

WOW amazing widget working perfectly. people who said it doesn't work simply can't read and follow simple instructions. Thank you dev. Can you please add more providers like darksky , yr.no , etc ?

Great app. I like the widget on my home screen. Google ruined my previous Search widget by forcing me to turn on the assistant whenever I hit the microphone. This looks very stylish and does exactly what I want. Thank you.

This app do not refresh weather info automatically. Everytime I have to go to app customise and then it refreshes.

Loved this app but there is a problem.. The calendar won't show up when I press the date. Please fix this issue, thank you. More power :)

Really great how you can customize it however I just wish the weather would update on the screen. I have it set to every 30 min but it fails to do that.

N70%

The description says that Google awareness takes 3 hours to update, but now it's not updating no matter what weather provider I use. I tried all 3 and the weather just stays the same for hours. Please help!

Please update/develop widget like pixel 2 launcher with date+time+events/to-do list+weather. Requesting you because you have created the pixel widget app which was the best in play store.Please keep the weather feature just like it was on pixel pill widget. Thanks in advance. This application is Awesome & PERFECT.Perfect because it does exactly what has been written in the description. I request users who are giving negative rating & review to kindly follow description before giving your negative feedback because this app is nearly perfect to original widget in pixel smartphones in terms of functionality and weather widget which updates very nicely (i.e. sun,moon,rain,partly cloudy etc) using weatherunderground,for weatherunderground getting own API keys is very simple and easy and weatherunderground works perfectly with this app. This best thing about this app is that we are getting 3 different weather providers to opt from and as we know google weather API is broken so the developer has not provided its option.I Love this app. GREAT WORK FROM THE DEVELOPER.THANKS FOR DEVELOPING SUCH A NICE AND PERFECT WIDGET APP. Keep Rocking we support you. If possible I would have given 10 stars to you.

-Needs to be easier to press the calendar button, it's finicky Want: customizable app launches when mouse click event occurs over the icons (e.g. clock) Good job tho! Been looking for this

Forget the comments from morons who can't read the description - this app performs flawlessly as advertised. Great app, works great on Nova Launcher.

Everything's great just wish I could adjust the size of the text and make it bold. As it is now it's a little hard to read

Could have been a great replacement for the Pixel Pill, but unfortunately the weather doesn't update for 6 - 8 hours even though I've set the refresh interval to 30 mins. Fix this and it deserves a 5 star rating.

Good widget. Does what's it supposed to do. However the below bugs can be resolved 1. If i manually update the weather, the widget doesn't update, which should 2. If i choose another weather provider, the icon next to temperature shows question mark, which should be hidden

I'd like to ask for an optional feature, the changing of color of the text from white to black according to the wallpaper, I have a changing wallpaper and it would be amazing if it could happen the labels on my apps do just this, thanks.

It's really good and does exactly what it promises. Great for smartphones running Lollipop as these don't support the equivalent available in some of the most popular launchers.

Only thing I would change is the missing material animation when you tap the Google logo to open Google Now. It just pops on the screen. :/

Easy to use. Still the sane size as the google search bar, but less visible space taken.

Can you please add the option to remove date? I am also using a clock widget and it looks weird seeing the date twice on my home screen.

This is simply awesome! Very simple to operate. Really adds a charm into my home screen. Thank you, dev. :)

I'm liking it on first blush, however it would be nice to have a choice of calenders apps to select for the widget instead of only Google calendar.

Weather doesn't update automatically. Is there a workaround for that? Besides that this is a nearly perfect widget.

Very good app. This app does exactly what it's supposed to do. Weather updates fine once you enter the API keys and it works exactly as it should. Thanks for all the hard work and for making this Wonderful app.

Everything is Okay, but the weather displayed beside the pill remains the same!! Although interval is set to 30 mins!!

by E####:

I can't change the settings on how often the widget updates the wheater. Apparently it updates every 4 hours which I feel is a really long time. I'd rather is be every hour or 2.
