List of iOS 8 Apps Taking Advantage of Widget or Extensibility

[w4rm]

I think it'd be cool if we kept a centralized list of all apps that use iOS 8 widget features and extensibility.

I just downloaded iOS 8 GM and it seems none of my apps have been updated to take advantage of these API's.

But lets keep a list of them when they do. With a short description of what the widget or extensibility feature is and possibly a screenshot

Widgets:

ESPN SportsCenter
Game scores.

Extensibility:

VSCO Cam
VSCO photo editing within the Photos app.

1Password
Safari and app integration.

On Apple.com/live when you look at the highlights from the videos, there's a photo of Day One as a widget that shows a graph of how much you write and photos you've taken in the past.

I think this should probably be a Wiki post?

There are WIKI threads already made for this. May be best just to use those since they have been created & are Wikis

Ahh, good point. I didn't see those... Maybe need a post or sticky of all the Megathreads?

How do you enable these? I have IOS 8 GM and sportscenter installed but can't figure it out.

Might have to wait until the app updates.

Didn't think it'd be available until after iOS 8 is released?

Are there apps already support widgets on iPad?

Is it already possible to use the VSCOcam filters inside the Photos app?
