Frequently Asked Questions
Post Body

I thought I'd create a mini FAQ for some common questions I get. Is there anything you'd like to add?

Something's not working!

A few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  • Remove and re-add the widget
  • Restart your phone
  • Go to the Settings app -> Widget Wizard, ensure permissions are enabled (Location if you're using weather, Agenda)
  • Go the Settings App -> Health -> Data Access & Services -> Widget Wizard, and ensure permissions are enabled if you're using health stats.
  • Uninstall and re-install the app.

Widgets are frozen when I try to add a Weather block

Make sure your location permissions are enabled:

  • Launch the Settings app
  • Scroll down to Widget Wizard
  • Click on Location
  • Select "Always" or "When using App or Widget"

You may need to add and remove the widget.

Can you hide the seconds from the clock? Can you add leading zeros to 24 hour clocks?

Unfortunately, no.

For context: widgets are 'static'. There's no way for developers to update them in real time, with one exception: Apple provides a 'timer', that either counts down or up from a specific date. This is what I use for the clock, and it automatically includes the seconds.

Initially, I tried to do some calculations to hide the seconds by masking them away and adding leading zeroes for 24 hour clocks, but the challenge is, I can't do calculations in real-time until the widgets refresh, and I can't control when widgets refresh reliably. This meant that when the clock went from 9:00 to 10:00, the minutes could get cut off, since the masking calculations were based on 9:00. This lead to bugs like this: https://i.imgur.com/lHGxasD.jpg

What happened to the Beta / TestFlight?

Every new beta build requires an Apple Review. Apple prioritizes submissions to the App Store (which take hours) vs submissions to TestFlight (which take days). My priority will be on App Store builds. At this point, TestFlight is several versions behind.

How do I sync Google Calendars?

  • Go to the iOS Settings App
  • Go to Calendar or Mail within Settings
  • Tap on Accounts
  • Add your Google Account
  • Enable Calendar Sync

Additional Steps

  • From the Settings app —> Calendar, you can choose your Google calendar as your Default Calendar if you wish.
  • You may need to go to this URL to enable which Google Calendar to sync: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/syncselect
  • Launch Widget Wizard —> Settings —> Agenda, select which calendars you’d like to be visible.
