Hi! I love this Home Screen widget and I have been using it for almost a year now. I just updated to ios 17 and it looks like the widget isn't loading in properly. All of my other widgets from widgy are loading in correctly but it doesn't look like this one is anymore.

Bought the widget but I have a couple of questions. Is there a way to include Fantastical to the approved apps for the calendar and Things 3 for the tasks? Also, my weather temp is always off by about 3-5 degrees from the actual weather app. I added to use my location when using the app. Is there something I am missing? Thanks!

[@ThisIsE]

Hey Tony, thanks for your support. Only Widgy can add apps to the list. If you want to use another app it would have to be a shortcut. My temperature is always a bit off but usually not more than a degree or two.

However, as I know absolutely nothing about widgets, I cannot install it on my phone. I followed the instructions and the screen is there in Widgy waiting for me to get it.

I think this is caused by that it is set to the ‘current perceived temperature’ which can be slightly off from the actual temp. You van change this in the widgy customize section of the ‘temp text’. Hope this helps!
