Cons
Con Can't sync across devices
It is pointless.
Con Requires Google services
Con Slow update and long error correction cycle
Unfortunately, Digibites company has not enough resources to keep work up-to-date.
Con No way to get just the widgets
DigiCal+ widgets come as part of the calendar app. Installing the app just to get the widgets might feel like adding too much bloat to some.
Con Can quickly become crowded
The widgets try condensing a lot of information at the expense of readability.
Con Can't split preferences between instances of widgets
Each instance of the widget works the same way and pulls information from the same calendars. Thus setting up a separate widget for different calendars is not possible.
