What are your top rated widgets ?

That looks pretty good. Similar to Calendars (or Calendars 5) from Readdle which I've been using so far. I'll definitely try it out once it's released.

And I definitely agree about the widget being able to disappear when there's nothing to display--as you mentioned Apple's Reminders does it but even their own Calendar one doesn't.

Yeah. I was using Readdle Calendars until I got the Sunrise beta. But I just didn't really need another calendar app so it's nice that the one I like to use as an actual app has a widget! lol.

I'm sending them a couple of notes on the Beta, which I believe you can sign up for even if you aren't a Dev (though I'm not positive). You can try though and report back! LINK

Yeah, I just installed it to play around with it a bit. So far looks nice. In some ways provides more information than Readdle Calendars as it shows the location of events, but it doesn't seem to show the end time for them strangely. Of course the good part is that it shows all day events (similar to Readdle Calendars) which is really the main thing that the Apple Calendar app widget has been lacking all along.

I LOVE launcher!!!!! Love it. It's really sad it had to go. Really sad. The only other widget worthy of keeping to me was ESPN

I don't think so becuase Apple said they don't want any widgets that open other apps. I don't know why. If Apple doesn't like it then don't download it!!!

Does anybody know any widget for battery usage (not battery status)....that is, what you see under Settings > General > Usage > Battery usage? I would be happy even if the widget showed only the 'time since last full charge' section

Sharing a picture of your notification center displaying the widgets would be cool for us to see what you have !!

Edit : Anyone else waiting for a Google Now widget ?

I find the ones that Apple decides that they need to be pulled due to them working to well..
