Apps with iOS 14 Widgets, Vol. 3
More than two weeks after the release of iOS and iPadOS 14, there are still plenty of great widget implementations in third-party apps worth highlighting. In case you missed them, John and I have each shared collections of other widget apps worth checking out in the last two newsletter issues (here and here). For today, I have another collection of six apps to share.
Spark
Spark is Readdle’s powerful email client, and the app we at MacStories use due to its excellent team features that can’t be found anywhere else. Spark offers an impressive assortment of widget options. There’s a small widget to see your unread inbox count divided across People, News, and Notifications categories; medium and large widgets can display a list of your latest inbox emails with info like their sender, subject line, and more; the Emails and Actions widget includes not only your latest messages but also a set of buttons you can tap to quickly open a specific part of the app; finally, there are a handful of calendar-related widgets too, including ones that combine your latest emails with your next upcoming calendar event. The widgets all look great and offer a lot of power, especially considering that Apple’s own Mail client doesn’t offer even a single widget.
