User Reviews

Users prize CalWidget for customization, multiple calendars, and ease of use, but OS-related compatibility and feature regressions hinder practical use. The top issues are lack of updates for newer Android versions, broken transparency/background tasks, touch responsiveness on some devices, missing/erratic forecast look-ahead, and demand for smaller widget sizes.

Pros

Indispensable and long-time calendar widget trusted across years and devices.
Highly customizable with many widget sizes, colors, and appearance options.
Supports multiple calendars with per-calendar colors for quick at-a-glance planning.
Easy to use once configured and provides a reliable glance at upcoming events.

Cons

Not compatible with newer Android versions (abandonware); updates for Android 15+/16 are unavailable.
Transparency and background task support broken on Android 12/13.
Touch/tap-to-open calendar can become unresponsive on some devices after updates.
Forecast/look-ahead feature missing or broken (shows no forecast or just placeholder lines).
Widget size is too big; requests for a smaller 1x1 version and more size options.

Absolutely indispensable. but sadly abandonware and not compatible with Android 15+ - closest thing I've found is Minimalist Calendar Widget by tj_apps
