iOS 8 Notification Center Widget Megathread

[HawkBYU]

The Yahoo weather widget looks great, much better than WeatherPro. Are there any other good ones that I can look at?

I think the Yahoo widget looks terrible. Wastes too much space, and displays very little information. I have only seen these 3 so far, but I'm sure there will be more rolling out. I did find one called OneWidgetApp, but it doesn't look like its hit the app store yet.

Now that looks nice. Thanks.

IMO, Launcher is closer to what the contacts on the multitasking screen should've been: Let me pick the method of communication for each. Otherwise it's not a shortcut.

I've seen posts here and other places about Lose It! having a widget but I don't have it. Is it a premium only feature?

How do you use launcher to create a navigation shortcut? Can you create a navigation shortcut for Google maps or only Apple maps?

You can create a Google Maps shortcut. Look under Contact Launchers. I guess it is in that section because you can have it directly access someone in your contacts.

LinkedIn has a new widget but of course is useless since you need premium (don't worry I told them)

I have premium and haven't even received an update for loseit yet. I was wondering if they are waiting because of the Healthkit issue.

UPDATE 16:30pm BST : Sounds like all third party extensions - including PCalc's widget - are currently broken on the iOS 8 GM, due to an App Store encryption issue. Hopefully this will be fixed shortly, and I'll let you know when I hear anything. Watch this space!

I love this!

Strange. According to my app store the last update was the end of August.

Is it possible to launch "today view" in lockscreen?

Yes but your phone has to have no passcode

Ignore what I said previously.

You can use notification centre and today view on the lock screen

Go to settings > general > passcode and turn it on

Been driving me crazy before apple changed this in ios 8 I didn't even notice



Apologies

Oh my god! Thank you so much! Why the hell did they move these settings there for crying out loud?? Its totally stupid, i would never have guessed that i had to go to password in order to enable today view in lockscreen?

Who had this idea really?

Thanks again my friend, much obliged!

Probably because it only applies if you have a Passcode enabled.

Thats the thing, it does not apply only if you have passcode enabled. All you have to do is enable passcode just to be granted access to these options, enable lockscreen today view, and then you can simply turn off password and you are set.

It is really stupid.

Can you still disable some parts of the notification center from the lockscreen and then disable the passcode and still have those parts of the notification center or the whole notification center disabled from lockscreen?
