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!

    Having left the platform for 5 years and migrated to Android, been considering migrating back due to Android not showing a promising future.

    Playing with iOS again to see if I can tolerate it, it feels like everything is giant font giant icon Duplo Brick UI. Which could very well be why they’re so terrible at space management. Do they realize some people have eyesight? That widget has a terrible amount of wasted space, but then so does most of the OS.
