★★★★★Ben McSeveny· Jun 19, 2025
I've had Cronus for many years now but never left a review! This is straight-up just the best set of informational widgets on the Play Store in my opinion. The level of customization is perfect and they are super reliable. Would love to see more from this dev, as I'm constantly searching for other widgets (eg: Gmail, Outlook, Bluesky) that match the look, but without success. Great job dev!

Respected DvTonder, your Cronus wear watch was exquisite. Concise and with a very substantial presence. I had to part ways with my late LG Urbane because its Bluetooth was gone. Just recently purchased a brand new unused LG Urbane, but alas, your masterpiece watch is no more. Any hope for us LG Urbane owners 2.66 (107.587544675gms) ? Cronus information Widgets is otherwise superb, graced with great layout and function.

Cronus is the app I've been looking for my whole life, it's everything I want in a Home screen widget. I've been using 2-3 different apps (clock, weather, calendar) to create the output that this widget provides in a one-stop shop. Lots of customizations. Getting pro is worth it for me to unlock the only feature I needed to switch over from my previous calendar widget with no regrets (color coding events is a way of life at this point, and I love having it). Thank you for an awesome app!

Stock app keeps failing to refresh/update. Says no stock information available. For the weather widgets I'd like to be able to click individual days and have a pop-up of the hourly weather predictions. For many of us weather changes rapidly, and we need it Updates: July 28, 2023....one again the stock app is broken Update: Aug 1 2023... Tried using Alpha Vantage, got API key, and tickers just hang loading. Tried using Investor Exchange and can't even add tickers. Just shows an exclamation ⚠️

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.

Scroll of events in the calendar widget doesn't work anymore
