Oh I did notice now that the widget isn't working time to investigate.
*EDIT*
After removing the Widget twice and readding it, it now works. Seems to be a cache thing keeping it not working until the cache is cleared out. So either after a phone reboot, or adding/removing it several times it starts working!
Never played with the stock app version, but this one also pulls up your subscription infos etc. I'm digging this version!
