## Review summary

Users love Resizeable CalWidget for its customization, minimalistic design, and long-term reliability. However, many reviews express frustration with outdated support, notably compatibility issues with Android 11+, leading to transparency and widget interaction problems. The inability to navigate directly from the widget to the calendar and slow updates diminish user experience. Despite these issues, loyal users value its versatility and integration of multiple calendars while hoping for developer updates to resolve current Android compatibility challenges.

### Pros

- Highly configurable and customizable calendar widget, accommodating various user preferences.
- Minimalistic design that integrates multiple calendars, including Google calendars, efficiently.
- Reliable and has been a favorite for many users over several years, indicating strong user loyalty.
- Widget size is versatile and resizeable, balancing content display and space usage.
- Good developer support historically, with prompt responses to some issues.

### Cons

- Lack of updates and compatibility issues with newer Android versions (Android 11 and above) and latest phones like Fold 6 and Z Flip 5.
- Background transparency and color settings do not work properly on Android 11 and newer, leading to usability problems.
- Click-through to the calendar app from the widget is broken or unreliable on recent Android versions.
- App freezes or fails to open menus after updates, with some users reporting no effective fixes or developer responses.
- Widget update speed is slow, and lacks smaller sizes like a 1x1 widget, limiting flexibility.
