See your whole week on your home screen, and know straight away when two events clash. Calendget is a weekly calendar built around one idea: you should be able to plan your week at a glance, without opening an app and without double-booking yourself. HOME SCREEN WEEK WIDGET • A real week view on your home screen, with every day and hour laid out in a time grid • Events that happen at the same time sit side by side, so nothing hides behind something else • All-day events shown at the top of each day • A "now" line, so you always know where you are in the day CONFLICT WARNING • Calendget checks your calendar for overlapping events • You get a notification when two events clash, with the time of the overlap and both event names • Each clash is reported once, and it disappears when you fix it WEEK NUMBERS • The week number on every view, which is handy for work, school and travel planning WORKS WITH YOUR CALENDAR • Uses the calendars already on your phone, so there's no new account to create TRY IT FREE, THEN PAY ONCE Start with a free 7-day trial that includes every feature. When the trial ends, nothing is charged automatically: you can unlock the full app with a one-time in-app purchase ("Full Access"). There's no subscription. You pay once and keep it. If you've already bought it, you can restore your purchase for free. Privacy policy: https://sharmarabiclanguageschool.com/privacy-policy-7/

The clearest difference is ads: Calendget at none against Countdown Widget's shown. Calendget also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
