Google Calendar update finally adds Today Widget on iOS devices

If you're not too emotionally attached to using Apple's Calendar app for iOS, then you'll probably be happy to know that Google's similar app has been updated with a new feature that brings it on par with the competition.

The new Google Calendar v2.4.0 is now available for download in the App Store. It brings a new Today Widget that wasn't available in the app until the latest update. Right after you update the app, you will be able to add the widget by just swiping to the right form the Home screen and choosing the Edit option.

However, unlike Apple's Calendar app the enables users to add two widgets (Today view and What's Next view), Google Calendar app will only show the next two events that you've scheduled on your calendar.

If you have more than two events in the calendar, the app will allow you to tap on a “Show More” button to check on the next two events in the list. Furthermore, the new Today Widget fully supports 3D Touch so that you can get a glance at it with a single hard press on the screen.
