What are the best iPhone widgets available?

Skip hunting for “best” widgets. Start from your day instead.

  1. List 5 things you do most on your phone: calendar, tasks, calls, maps, notes.
  2. For each, turn on Apple’s built‑in widgets first: Calendar, Reminders, Phone Favorites, Maps, Notes, Batteries.
  3. Put them on one Smart Stack and use “Smart Rotate”.
  4. Use them for 3 days.
  5. Only if something feels slow or ugly, search the Store for that one function, like “calendar widget”, and replace it.
