iOS 8 Notification Center Widget Megathread

[Micool1]

Has Facebook/Twitter added integration to Notification Centre?

Surprised they haven't at least added a quick post feature.

It seems that Apple doesn't give keyboard access in the notification center, so we will have to wait a long time for that

Added iMonitor.. it's nice looking and free.

Bought the whole Wdgts

I really like that. Just wish it can bundled with a more fully-featured weather app. No location support among other things is kind of a bummer, but I'll probably pick it up anyway if one of the bigger apps doesn't release a widget soon.

The Weather Underground (Wunderground) app now has a Notification Center widget, as of yesterday's update. Installed it tonight and it's working fine.

It's been pulled. Obviously.

Best weather widget. Hands down.

It has TWO separate widgets too.

I agree! I actually really like both of their widgets.

So the Forecast+ widget is the only weather widget that isn't super-massive and ostentatious? What makes The Weather Channel and Yahoo think that people want something huge in their Notification Center? It's the weather, for Christ's sake.

If only they would do away with the large temperature graph and instead include some compact forecast information about tomorrow or the next few days in its place.

Yeah, I definitely agree.

the weather channel widget would be perfect if they allowed you to remove the weather story from the bottom. All i want from a weather widget is the current weather and what it's going to be for the next 6 hours or so. None of the other free weather widgets do that.

If i want to know more about the weather, i would open the app up

Because they are in the business of making money. You think their widgets are horrendous, then you should see the Android versions, even worse.

And sadly, people will put up with it because of the accuracy and the brand power.

[funandblindness]

Yep, problem with Forecast+, according to its reviews, is that it's rather inaccurate. I'm refraining from buying it until I get to try out OneWidget, which is taking its time to get through the App Store review process - http://onewidgetapp.com

I'm a little pessimistic about that widget's accuracy as well though, but we'll have to see, I think it's supposed to be free so at least we'll get to try it.

I don't mind bigger widgets if they give me the information I want to see. Wunderground's widget is quite big but It shows me exactly what I wan't and I have no problem with it.

Love the ESPN widget, but would love to have a button to navigate through the scores instead of having to wait for them to change.

After using it for a while I found out that Yahoo! Sports app got updated with widget support as well and I'm now using that one instead as it seems to show more games in a slimmer format and even provides more game information for live games as they are happening.

It would be great if it could be configurable a bit for example to show the forecast for the next day or two at the bottom instead of the graph.

Looks like iMonitor got uodated to display network activity as well.

I don't think that's widget related as much as it is just iOS 8 related where periodically if it notices some app having location acess set to "always" it will prompt you to essentially let you remind you of that in case you didn't realize it earlier and might want to change that.

The launcher was the best iPhone app ever.
