Blik Calendar Widget
Why use a boring calendar widget that only has words when a picture can tell the story better?
Blik reads your calendar and *automatically* shows the best picture for each event. The picture is shown, along with the start time and an important word from the event so that you can see what's coming up on your calendar.
You end up with a quick visual guide to your upcoming events. Your calendar has never been easier to "read".
The free/trial version of Blik comes with 350+ pictures and 700+ keywords rules.
The Pro version unlocks another 300+ keyword rules so that your calendar events are matched up to pictures even better.
You can create your own keyword rules for single calendar events in the free/trial version and in the Pro version you can create your own keyword rules that apply to all your calendar events.
Check out the Blik Settings screen under the Help section for helpful Tips (like how to subscribe to a holiday calendar).
- English only for now.
Keywords: calendar, agenda, birthday, holiday, widget
Known issue(s)
- On screen rotate, sometimes Nova Launcher will not return the correct widget size, so rendering is incorrect. To fix, resize Blik widget.
- Widget appearance preview in Settings for month layout doesn't draw correctly (it does draw the widget correctly on your homescreen though). -- fixed in Jelly Bean and above
- Facebook events may be displayed with incorrect starting times. Use Blik Advanced Setting value to manually adjust the display for all Facebook start times.
- Facebook declined events will still show up.
- Larger widget sizes can result in out-of-memory crashes.
- --=== When DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME changes ===---
If your phone is showing events off by an hour, you may need to power it down and reboot so that your phone picks up the time change from your cell provider.
- - Important Note --

Comments
- I absolutely love it! Its so much easier clicking right on the widget and quickly entering your stuff! And so much easier to just at a glance know what's going on cuz of the icons! Thank you Devs! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended! Galaxy proclaim.
- I have put this on all my new phones first thing. Do read instructions but then is*so* easy to edit and will schedule months ahead, even those crazy "every third Monday" meetings. Pictures are better reminders for me than words.
- Used this free for a while then decided to buy the upgrade to customize the look of it since I use it everyday. Easy to navigate, was able to choose which calendar to use it with, looks looks great. I would love a 4x2 widget!
- I've been using this widget for a year now, and have decided to review it, because I love it. It syncs beautifully with my google calendar, and I love the features and options for customization.
- By far the best calendar widget out there. Is pretty accurate picking pictures to go with events. Customizable but not too complicated, bought UN- locker to really open up all the options.
- Loved it so much, I bought the licensed version. Great widgets! Customizable and so many awesome apps to close from. Everything in a calendar widget app that I was looking for!
- I love this. It's very helpful 2 c the pics and less time consuming to know ur itinerary. I definitely recommend using this app.
- I almost couldn't believe it when I saw this was finally updated for JB, thank you so much!!! Looks fantastic as usual.
- Had to redo the desktop grid settings after updating. If widget not using full space check out settings.
- Love this widget and all the great personalizations you can make with it.
