Hi guys, can someone please recommend a good agenda widget which shows a weeks agendas. Ideally ones that are quite compact on the screen.

I have iCal and WidgetCal, but they aren't great and take up a lot of screen space.

Thanks

See the iOS8 Notification Center Widget Megathread which also has a category 'Calendars / Reminders' with a long list of calendar widgets (could be that some are no longer in the App Store) in the start wiki topic (I maintained mainly) a few good options I really like are:
- Agenda: Widget+
- Calendarique

I personally loved 'Events Widget' but it seems it is no longer in the App Store although it still worked fine even on iOS12.1.

Thanks mate. I also used events widget, but you're correct, it's no longer available. I'll check out the ones your suggested.

Your welcome!
If you had it you can still find it in your purchased items if you want to use it again.
Nope. I don't think it's ios 12 compatible as in my purchases it's there but greyed out and unselectable.

The app is available on the AppStore here

Best regards

I'm on iOS 12.1.2 and still using Events Widget no problems at all so its perfectly compatible with iOS 12.

I've been using it for ages and never had an issue.

For some reason the link doesn't work. What's the app called?

Hi,

The app is called "The Calendar Widget". The link is for the US AppStore.
Tell me if you can't find it!

Best regards

I think it was listed as EventsWidget, no space in the name. That said I can’t see it listed on the App Store or in my purchased lost either so looks like it’s no longer available.

I had it as well but was unfortunate not updated and is no longer in the App Store since quite a while.

I know its never been updated but as it stands it still works for me on my 6S so i've no reason to look for anything else. I use Google Calendar mapped into the native calendar app but i've got the google Calendar app installed as well so i tried their widget and it wasnt as good so i'll stick with what i've got for now and just remember not to delete the app!! ;)

Could you also add showing in the widget what the travel time is for (car,bike,walk) that also works for Google Calendars?
Also would it be possible to have more than two days showing in the Upcoming Events widget? What i do like about EventsWidget, which displays much like your Upcoming Events widget, is that you can configure how much info shows. I can either set a number of days to show from 1 to 30 or set it to show a specific number of events between 1 and 10 no matter how many days that spans. I personally have it set to show any events in the next 7 days which i like to see at a glance what i've got coming up, often works as a reminder for me about stuff over the coming days.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I'll keep it in mind for future development and let you know if I can implement this!
