iOS 8 Notification Center Widget Megathread

Shawzborne · Sep 4, 2014

This is a thread which we together will keep updated with the list of companies/apps/links of the custom Notification Center Widgets available for iOS 8.

This thread has been devided in categories.

Q: Why doesn't this topic show an image preview of the widget for all widgets?
A: Unfortunately there is a maximum of 40 images to show in a forum start post, so we can't show all widget images. A selection of a few appreciated widgets has an image. Ofcourse you can always click an App Store link to see an image on your iDevice or desktop/laptop. If you have great suggestions please mention or add the image yourself.

Pcalc : http://www.pcalc.com/iphone/whatsnew.html

UPDATE 16:30pm BST : Sounds like all third party extensions - including PCalc's widget - are currently broken on the iOS 8 GM, due to an App Store encryption issue. Hopefully this will be fixed shortly, and I'll let you know when I hear anything. Watch this space!

Duolingo

What's New in Version 4.1.0

Fresh and clean for iOS 8.
-Coach is never far from you. Whatever app you’re in, check on your daily goal in an instant from the new Duolingo widget in Notification Center.
-Is now not a good time to learn? Hit the Snooze button on Duolingo notifications and they will try you again in 1 hour.
-Duo’s looking good. Every image in the app has been updated to look sharp and shiny on the higher resolution iPhone 6 Plus display.
-Admire the landscape. Rotate your phone during a lesson and the screen gracefully transforms into landscape mode with a wider keyboard.
-We've added a Dutch course for English speakers!
