Calendar Widget?

**marsdiamond** · 01-22-2012, 02:14 AM

One of the big disappointments with ICS is no monthly calendar widget. So I've tried Business Cal (don't like the white), and Jorte (events show on the wrong date).....

What calendar is everyone using? I am thinking about buying Pure Calendar Widget, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

I use Android Pro Widgets which has a calendar/agenda. It is customizable and the market has different themes to download. I have uwed Pure Calendar in the past and like it however APW works much better for me. It seems to have a cleaner interface.

you're doing it wrong. check settings. Jorte 4x4 Calendar Widget. best calendar app and widget bar none IMO.

I agree 100%, Jorte is amazing. I love how it syncs Google calender with all my android devices and gives all national holidays if you wish.

If your looking for a month view widget make sure you get Pure Calendar Grid for the month view. Pure Calendar will only give you the agenda view. Pure Calendar grid and widget are the best IMO.

I use Pure Grid Calendar myself. Nothing beats it.

Scrollable, widget toggles between month/week views, syncs with gTasks, skinnable, detailed timelines, and more.

I'm no newbie.....Jorte shows some of my entries on the wrong date and if you look at the reviews it is an issue that many are having.....even if it works fine for you. I actually like Jorte but the bug is making me look elsewhere. If the developer would fix it I would re-install it.

I think I'm gonna try Pure Calendar.... scrollable is enticing....

Hold up.....looks like there is an update that was released yesterday....I'll see if its fixed....

Ok the update is on his website but not in the market yet....patiently waiting.....

This is strange...the update is on the web version of the market but when I access the market on my phone the update is not there yet....I'm gonna see what happens if I push it from the web to my phone....Ok it gave me the latest version...I'll set it up later and see how it works....

2 bucks for Pure Grid isn't bad either, might just give it a try anyway.

I have tried some of those other, but settled on Agenda Widget. This is customisable, scrollable, and imports from many sources if you want.

I had Agenda Widget on my HTC Inc....but I need a monthly view widget that shows the events. You might want to take a look at Simple Calendar for agenda widgets too....That's what I use.

I use Jorte, has lots of different views and looks.

Pay close attention to your battery life after placing a calendar widget on one of your home screens. I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but the few I've tried really sucked down the juice. I've learned to live with the horrors of having to click a calendar icon.

Just tried Jorte... so far im very impressed, I like it a lot

Thanks for the tip....I will pay attention to it.

I will second android pro widgets. It allows you to put a calendar or agenda view and easily switch between the two. THe widget is pretty much a clone of the launcher pro widgets if you pay for that launcher.
