IPadOS users…what are your favourite widgets? I’m wondering if I should change my iOS 12 widget setup and hoping to see some interesting ideas from other people.
@ChrisJWilson for me it's all about been "in-the-know" of things, so Calendar and task manager widgets are my top two usually.
@ChrisJWilson I’m trying to figure out what to do with my home screen after the update, including the Widget area. At the moment I have CARROT weather at the top (expanded so I see the forecast for upcoming days), PCalc in collapsed form, and then Shortcuts in collapsed form (shows 4 shortcuts). The rest are “below the line” and require scrolling. I want my Widget area to be both informative and not “clash” visually so it’s a challenge.
@ChrisJWilson I've become fond of the Apple Up next calendar widget. Other than that Carrot weather. I only have two pinned widgets.
@Gabz Calendar and task manager were two I had before so I guess I agree :D ...while we're on the topic. What are you using?
@ronguest Hum... I wondered about weather. It's the first on my phone I think. I sort of feel like I don't need it on my iPad as I also have it on my watch...but maybe I'm wrong. Shortcuts also feels like a good choice to me and Pcal could be very handy! It's probably nicer than using the app.
@dustin Do you have weather anywhere else? I wonder if I don't really need it in my widgets because I have it elsewhere...but then again, maybe it would be useful.
@ChrisJWilson I have Siri App Suggestions (usually pretty reliable), Shortcuts (given the many automations I rely on) and then Up Next (for Calendar and Reminders)
@ChrisJWilson I pretty much only use the widget to check the weather, but I could see also just not having that widget present and launching the app. I’m in MN, so I like to see when a thunderstorm is coming, or if there are weather warnings for our area. I’ve played around with having either launcher or launch center pro as a pinned widget, but I really haven’t liked that approach much.
