About this app

Your Calendar Widget is a widget, that can be used on the homescreen, lockscreen and your notification bar to show your upcoming Google Calendar events. You can easily configure and adapt the widget to your needs. Each widget has its own configuration. This allows you to have several widgets with different calendar- and display-settings.


Features
• The widget can be used on the homescreen, the lockscreen and in the notification bar
• Almost every element can be adapted to your personal preferences
• Agenda, inline-agenda and simple display mode. There is a variety of different event display options
• Various options for event-visualization in order to identify upcoming events more easily (timeline, badges, notifications, font and background settings)
• The month-calendar provides full access to the entire calendar right from the homescreen
• View birthdays and anniversaries of your contacts
• With the Task Integration tasks can be viewed and edited (Google Tasks, Microsoft To Dos)
• Countless predefined themes provided by the system and the community
• Events can be filtered using the event title
• Any number of widgets can be created, each with its own configuration


Permissions
• Read Calendar: This permission is required to show your calendar events in the widget
• Access your device Storage: This permission is required to read and write widget-backups. On Android P and higher this permission is also required to be able to show your wallpaper in the preview of the widget settings
• Contacts: This permission is required if you like to see birthday and anniversary information from you contacts. Further its required to to read your account information to show your tasks.


Task Integration
With the Task Integration you are able to show your Google Tasks and Microsoft To Dos in the widget. Further you can create new tasks or complete existing tasks. The widget will also consider your subtasks.


Google Reminders
Google Reminders can't be displayed in the widget. Unfortunately Google does not provide an API to access Google Reminders.

Microsoft Outlook
In order to show your Outlook calendar in the widget, enable the Outlook calendar synchronization:
1) Open the Outlook App
2) Open the settings (click the top left Outlook-icon then select the settings-icon on the bottom)
3) In the General section, select Calendar and then enable Sync Calendars
4) In the Google Calendar app - Settings - Manage accounts - Enable the Outlook Calendar


Widget is not updating or events are not appearing in the widget
Following things can help if the widget is not showing the correct events:
1) Disable powersaving options and restart the device
2) Check that the calendar is synced (Google Calendar App)
3) Synchronize calendar data: open Google Calendar App - menuentry Refresh (repeat multiple times)
Further help on synchronization problems can be found here: https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/6261951?hl=en
4) For issues with shared calendars: Delete the Storage of the Google Calendar app (App Info > Storage & Cache > Clear Storage) which forces a full app reset and sync of all calendar data.

Ratings and reviews

I've used Calender Widget, DigiCal, aCalender, Event Flow... and they all only have just a tiny fraction of the customization features that this has. I'd go so far as to say that anything you can make with those apps, you can make with this and then some. Some issues: Unsure if this is user error, but the preview for the month-calender doesn't show when I enable it. I have to close out settings to see changes. Also wish you could seperate the agenda from the calender and have 2 widgets.

The crashing has stopped. Been using the app for about a year, very nice. Customizing is a bit overwhelming but I think I finally got the hang of it 🤏🏼. What would be a great setting is rounding the edges of the grid. It would look better when you have the rounded edges for the calendar background. Also a way to get the event details/time to stay inside the rounded event background without going over or having to make the text teeny tiny.

Really well done widget! Never crashes, never fails to update. Great customization. Looks really sharp and works well. I really want to support the developer and get rid of ads, but the price for the premium version is absurdly high for a widget, especially if you want Google tasks integration. If not for that would easily rate five stars. Ads are not too obtrusive, so I've used anyway for years and recommend you do too.

What’s new

New setting: Transform the event title by replacing parts of it (Adv. Settings - Event Transformer)
When removing duplicate events, the events from contacts will be favored to be kept
Detection of duplicate events improved: When identifying duplicates of birthdays, the age is ignored
