You could always use the widget from Calendar 5 but use Week Cal to manage your calendars.
Been using week cal for years. Great app. Love how you can set icons and name "tags" along with templates.
Great app they always update it as well.

I have tried Calendars 5 for some time now. It is a nice app but one thing I'm missing is the location in views. On the iPad the location is only direct visible on the day view. In all other views, I have to tap an item to see the location.
On the standard iOS Calendar app, the location is visible in the weekly view as well as the widget. I saw in the Appstore that other apps have this feature too.

Yeah, but one of the bigger problems with Apple's iOS Calendar app is that its widget doesn't show all day events.
True. But for me personally, all day events are less important. I am switching buildings and meeting rooms very often, so for me it is very handy to have the location right at hand. It looks like Fantastical does have the location in views and on its widget.
Yes, it does. The landscape week view may truncate the location if the event is too short, though.
Didn't knew this app. Looks very interesting, I will check out the free version.
How high is this calendar app on you favorite list?
I took a look at the free version. It has great customisation options and plenty of views, showing a lot of info.
However, it also lacks some features:
- no copy item function
- no widget
- time is always in am/pm format, I much prefer the 24h format
The paid version has a widget. I'm beta testing and I'll bring the 24hr time format up to him.
Yesterday I downloaded Week Calender for iPhone and I must say I like it very much. It has a *lot* of customization options, all the views I need (and more) and quite a few gestures. And a lot of functionality. For me, it is a better app than Readdle's Calendars 5.
Week Calender for iPhone has a widget by the way (probably added in the last months). The iPad version does not have a widget.
I downloaded it because it was free, so it was a pleasant suprise that this app fits me so well. It still is free by the way
