The most useless calendar widget is made by Apple. I constantly forget that someone’s birthday or something important is coming up later in the week.

Now I understand that you can set up alerts and you can set up reminders for stuff. I also understand that you can choose a different size widget. But depending on the size and the amount of events it’s possible it won’t even show you what’s going on the next day in the larger widget as well.

This is forced me to use third-party widgets to display calendar events for the week on my home screen. I hate it because I have no idea if it’s stealing my data.

Bonus Edit! The large widget fails to show you what’s happening today!

    I don’t understand It anyway - what’s going on in the IT companies that come up with this? Microsoft Outlook isn’t better. In any case, a meaningful view for us “Europeans” is not adjustable: There is either too much useless information at the overviews in these calendars, the wrong information given or way too little. Like this: Week starts at Sunday, Degrees in Celsius, Month-Day-Year Dates and “Yesterday, Tomorrow” as Day description, instead it should be Tuesday 20, Wednesday 21, Friday 22. And not crap like this: Actual day is shortened down and there is Saturday in this view! WHY?
