ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calendar Widget for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calendar Widget for iPhone has 895 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of MiniMonth's written reviews are positive against 38% of Calendar Widget for iPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MiniMonth ships an update every 4 months, Calendar Widget for iPhone every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
