Good Calendar Widget

[gsampl4]

Anyone found a good calendar widget? Simple Calendar and Go Calendar just blow up when I install them. I guess they will start working once they are reconfigured for ICS.

Depends on what you're looking for, but I like Agenda Widget. The font is a little too big for my taste on the GN, but I'm sure that will be fixed shortly.

Yeah I need one too. I use smooth calendar but it's not working yet for ICS and the native widget isn't displaying my events. Not sure why. If I open the calendar I see all my events as synced from my google calendar, but they don't show on the widget. But if I add a new event to the same calendar, it shows up. So not sure why that is, never had that issue with any other device. I'm hoping smooth calendar gets updated soon.

How did you add it to your homescreen? After I downloaded it, it doesn't appear in my list of widgets.

I just downloaded Android Pro Widgets and I like their calendar/agenda widgets as a replacement to the stock calendar.

IMO the best calendar widget is Pure Calendar Widget which has a ton of different skin if your looking for a agenda view otherwise Pure Calendar Grid if you want a monthly calendar.

Jorte! is loaded with various widgets and has Agenda, Task and Calendar functions. It can be synced with your Google calendar or used as a stand alone calendar.

I've got a bunch of widgets from Agenda Widget (not sure if I like the "open the app drawer and select widgets" mode of operation for ICS, but I'm sure I'll get used to it). The standard IT response is "have you tried turning it off and on again?"

I second Jorte! I like that the widget actually uses words in the calendar instead of dots or arrows, if that makes sense.

 

[gsampl4]

Thanks for all the responses guys... now to go and try out a few... LOL.

One thing about Jorte! though. The stock calendar widgets have default color themes that are ugly as sin, make your own color choices using the edit function and you can make one that is beautiful and matches your phone's homescreen better.

I wish jorte worked with Touchdown.

I like Business Calendar free. Problems with notifications as with all the programs I have tried for notifications and repeats.

Business Calender Free is by far the best. Put up a 4x4 widget and change the settings so text shows up and you see the whole month.

Then another setting lets you tap the screen and your agenda comes up.

Glad I'm not the only one having calendar problems. I get kicked off it after a few appointments get added. It's to the point where I try to add an appointment as fast as I can before I get booted. Don't know what the deal is. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. I love the agenda view on this thing. (Coming from a Blackberry Bold 9930. Blackberry calendar was not great, so this is a dream)

Jorte 4x4 Calendar Widget. best by far bar none. and free.

 

[scadilla]

I like Calwidget, it is nice and simple.

 

[wtherrell]

+1 for Jorte. Best Selection of widgets I have seen.

I used to use Jorte, but I think Business Calender is better. I picked it up at Amazon, it was the free app of the day awhile back. There is a free version in the marketplace though. IIRC Jorte was free though, whereas the full version of Business Calender costs money.

I like the look of Business Calender but I don't see it as an option in my widget selections.. is there another way to add it as a widget?
