Comments on Chronus Information Widgets for Android
★★★★☆Pah Tryk· Jun 16, 2024
Have been using beautiful widgets for ages and finally was sick of the issue as it's no longer supported. I do like this app and paid for the pro however one feature I'd like is more AccuWeather support.
★★★★★Jason Patterson· Sep 27, 2023
Been using Cronus for years across various devices. I've never had a problem that wasn't fixed in an update. I highly recommend it.
★★★★☆Kris Moyer· Aug 1, 2025
I have loved this widget for years. Recently the advanced weather option to tap and take me to an actual weather app has stopped working. First time thought it was a fluke (months ago) but just started again today.
★★☆☆☆Andrew Kim· Oct 20, 2025
Love the style/design of the widgets, but there are some bugs that are bothersome and haven't been fixed for a long time. For example, the calendar widget has trouble synchronizing tasks between it and the Google Calendar app. If you try to reschedule tasks to a different date, the tasks will oftentimes be reset to their original date after refreshing the widget. Another bug is when the calendar widget duplicates all of your tasks. The only fix is to delete and remake each task individually.
★★☆☆☆Bryn Jones· Sep 11, 2024
I have used this for quite a while now and was happy with it. On my new Android 14 phone the calendar events from my Google Calendar do not all show up. Mostly the recurring events are shown but not recently added single meeting events. Really frustrating. I have tried the Pixel+ and Flex widgets without success. Maybe there is a setting I don't understand.

Paid for premium and the "pro" widget won't show weather while the normal ones do... Signed up for api keys, and it says they don't work either... Manually entered location and also made sure the app had location permission for the location piece but nothing works anymore.
