Ratings and reviews

This is hands down the best calendar widget. I don't think it is still being developed but it keeps working despite warnings of being made for an earlier Android version. It will be a bummer when it stops working. Devs, 🙏 don't let this die. Still the best on a new Pixel 7. Cleanest looking, true to its name, simple. The best. If you are having trouble, click to open the calendar then go back to settings. I've had to fiddle with it a few times but it is the best.

Was my favorite widget for four years on the Galaxy S6, but now it doesn't run most of the time. The widget always shows loading, and when it is working it crashes repeatedly when you try to open settings. Someone mentioned that this hasn't been updated since Dec. 2013, so sadly I guess we have to stick a fork in it. *the problems arised upon installing on my new Galaxy S10+ and it still runs fine on my S6.

This widget used to work great, but when I needed to try to make an adjustment to it a few days ago, I noticed that it would crash anytime I tried to tap on anything in the settings menu. I haven't had to change anything on it in probably a year, so who knows how long it has been since it has worked properly. I also noticed that it's been more than 5 years since it was last updated. Obviously something is broken on it now and the developers need to push another update out or, if they no longer wish to support it, remove it from the Play Store. Now I need to find a new widget that works just as well as SCW did and has the same size of widget that I need (4x1) but the few that do aren't free (or at least aren't fully functional in their free version).
