[iOS 10] Widgets

[DeutscheMark]

How about we make a list of apps with widgets optimized for iOS 10. If you want to add an widget you're welcome but please describe the purpose of the app and how the widget looks and works in compact and expanded mode. You might also post these infos and screenshots in a new post (you can also link to these posts). The purpose of this thread is to find new and unknown widgets for people who really like to use them like me.

For the wiki for iOS8/9 widgets check here.

Nice wiki topic! Maybe it's nice to also put a link on the wiki post to the iOS8/9 widgets (of which some have been updated to iOS10 too).

A few ones that come to mind which weren't mentioned yet are:
* Magic Launcher
* Forecast Bar
* Widget: Agenda+

I just added these.

 

[pacorob]

I've updated and added one more widgets.
Please see the details and screenshots below.

- Weather Live by Apalon (I used the paid version) - very nice UI
* lacks rain mm in widget
* lacks percentage of rain expected for upcoming hours/days in widget

 

[DeutscheMark]

Thank you, but keep in mind that we only want to add iOS 10 optimized widgets to the list.
Weather Unterground and Widget Weather are not iOS 10 optimized widgets yet, so I have removed them.
The list should also state what features compact and expanded mode have.

I'm sorry I did saw in the App Store description of both of them that the apps were updated to iOS10 though but you could be right that the widgets weren't updated. I've seen a similar thing with Atmos weather app.

I've also added the compact and expanded mode details for the ones I added.

Weather 14 days [Link] is updated though also for the widget so i added that one.
compact: today's weather / expanded: upcoming days, min/max + rain details

Chronicle
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chronicle-bill-management/id572561420?mt=8

The main part shows you your next bill, when it's due, and how many days left until that day, and then when you expand it, it shows you some more.



Timeglass
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/timeglass-timer-countdown/id1138584627?mt=8

Shows you all your timers.

 

[pacorob]

ETA, Music Launcher, Google Maps, Citymapper, Runtastic, Todoist, Widget Calendar, Cheatsheets were also added. I will try to add the description later.
I also added a link to the iOS8/9 topic in the start post. I also asked a forum admin to make this topic a sticky.

 

[Paco II]

Added a few more. Links and descriptions still need to be added

 

[pacorob]

I also added:
Countdown Widget, Musixmatch, Trello, Nuzzel, DataMan Next, Day One, Alto
Links and descriptions still need to be added though.

MyWeather

Widgets can be set to automatically change to light or dark theme based on day/night, or can be set manually, along with just matching it to the theme you have set.

The widget options include Air Quality (not supported by all cities), City, Today, and Weekly. The "show more" on the Weekly widget just shows you the city name.

So here are the light/dark widgets:



And here are some of the themed ones:

I wish all developers allowed for at least light and dark widgets.

Wearher underground is indeed ios10 optimized

Castro 2
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/castro-podcast-player/id1080840241?mt=8

It's a podcast player. Shows you what's currently in your queue. The "show more" will just show up to two more rows of episodes queued.

Gonna revive this thread to digress a little: on the whole, I love iOS 10 widget look and feel. However, one thing I don't like about them is the minimum height. Some widgets just don't need that minimum height. I was reminded of this after installing an older app whose widget had not been updated, and so is not constrained by that minimum. And what I saw was a wonderfully compact widget that was maybe half the vertical height of iOS 10 widgets, and it looked great. It didn't need to be any bigger. It shouldn't be any bigger.

I so agree with you there (again). It's such a strange contraint that that are asking since iOS10.
I do know that some developers don't update their widget because of this reason because they want to keep the widget as small as possible.
It's also so great that Apple brought back (since 10.2 I think) the way that it remembers if you either had your widgets view open the last time or the Notifications in the Notification Center.

I also still love and use the widget daily. This is my current list of widgets:
- Launcher (link)
- Buienalarm (non iOS10 UI, link)
- Widget Weather (link)
- BeWeather2 (link)
- Swiss snow (link)
- EventsWidget (non iOS10 UI, link)
- AlpenCams (link)
- Webcams (by Swiss Snow,link)

Unfortunately the perfect weather widget isn't still there yet for my region which is why I currently use three of them I also like to test them out as well see this topic.

I've also added a few iOS10 widgets to the topic start post as well just now.

My absolute favorite weather widget is still Crisp Weather (https://appsto.re/us/DdsT6.i) In a minimal widget it contains a lot of data, and is visually easy to read.

I agree with you there it's a great weather widget with unique UI features but I would like it to be a bit more flexible in the settings and some more details:

+ nice UI
+ you can change the size of the widget, timeline part of it
+ you can choose if it uses GPS or not
+ cheap
+/- has minute by minute rain bar but only for select amount of coutries (thats more a limitation of forecast.io)
- the settings for showing both upcoming hours so e.g. from now untill 0.00 today + 7 days can only be seen when tapping on the widget. I tapped both 24 + 7 days in the app setting. You can't see both of them in the widget at the same time.
- lacks mm rain
- limited amount of (widget) settings. I would like to see both upcoming hours + days without pressing the widget. I would like to see the mm and percentage chance of rain for upcoming hours + days without pressing the widget.
- switch between locations in widget like BeWeather2 can.

My weather widget needs in California are different than yours

Haha I believe rain/snow wise the situation is quite different there then in Europe e.g. the Netherlands.

Another widget I've recently purchased because I liked it so much is Network Utility Pro by Fausto Ristagno
https://appsto.re/us/14C2ab.i Lots of good info in a nice compact widget. Just how I think widgets should be. Even, optionally, will show data usage.
