All-day events are not "events" according to Apple. No wonder some people hate iPhone.

As long as Apple doesn't give a reason how the widget should be working this can never ever be a bug because it can never ever meet the definition of a bug. That and the fact that Apple might simply disagree with what you (the OP) are expecting could be the reason why they did nothing with the feedback.
Being able to see all events that day including the all day ones is just as logical as not seeing the all day events since they last all day and you most certainly are aware that you are taking part in that event. They had to pick one. Simply adding a toggle to pick between the two doesn't solve that because they'll still have to pick one to be the default. So whatever they did it would have been the wrong choice for someone.

Proof that this behavior makes zero sense and should be changed
By definition, an all-day event is an event that lasts from 00:01 until 23:59.
1. Create an event and mark it as "All Day"
Result: it does not appear in "Today View"
2. Create and event and set duration to "from 00:01 until 23:59"
Result: it appears in "Today View"
How do you even explain this?

Conclusion: it's a bug
Reason: I don't need to be reminded all day that I'm in an event I know I'm already in it.
Simple.
========================================================
If it doesn't do what it is intended to do then it is a bug. As long as we do not know what the intended behaviour is we cannot speak of a bug. Simple.
The only thing you have just proven is that you are nothing but a troll. Trolls do not belong on this forum.

Ok then create your events like such, I already said this to use times and not all day which you dismissed without a thought.
Is it THAT big of a deal to do vs. continue to harp about? will your little life end because you have to set the time vs hit all day? I mean, again, melodramatic much?
You keep missing my point. It's not about "checking that box" vs. "having to type in times manually". It's about an obvious bug that you refuse to call a bug. Why is it a bug? Because both ways are considered all-day events. Yet one appears, and the other one doesn't.
@Michael Goff: None of us except for the OP who is dead set on "this is a bug". Doesn't want to hear anything else so save the energy of discussing it. Completely pointless now.
@sniffies: kindly provide us with an official source from Apple stating that it is intended behaviour to have all day events in the widget. If you can find one stating the exact opposite that's fine too. That's the only way to get an actual discussion.

@sniffies: I know and this may or may not a bug depending on whether this is intended behaviour or not. You can keep nagging about it but things won't change. The fact that the iOS 9.3 beta has the same behaviour should be a biiiig hint (just as the topics linked below this topic). To me that says Apple has intended this behaviour. The only way to have them change the behaviour is to rally the troops and, for now, use something else that does have the behaviour you're looking for.
Now you can either go and troll everybody responding to this topic or you can actually start solving the issue (rally the troops, use something else for the time being). There are a lot more things the widget doesn't do and there isn't much to discuss about this either. One can only exchange apps with the expected behaviour.
@Michael Goff: you can report this topic and request for it to be closed.

I use guy like I use dude, no gendered. I've said as much when referring to my sister. Do you think I don't know my sister isn't male?
A bug is unintended behaviour. I believe this is a design choice made by Apple. I don't agree with it but it doesn't mean it's a bug. If it was a bug I think it would've been fixed by now.
