<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2014/09/notification_center_widgets_iphone_6_plus_hero.jpg?itok=oJ3VRbbk' />[/url]</p> <p>One of the best new features of <a href="http://www.imore.com/ios-8" title="iOS 8 news, rumors, speculation">iOS 8[/url] is the ability to add widgets for your favorite apps to Notification Center. Since iOS 8 is brand new, not all apps have added widgets just yet. However, we've found some that we think are particularly great and worth your attention right now. So if you don't want to search for apps that support widgets, these are the best apps (http://www.imore.com/best-apps) that not only support widgets, but will provide useful utility in your daily life!</p> <!--break--> <h2>Launcher</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/launcher_iphone_widget_best_apps.jpg?itok=vMPbGH52' />[/url]</p> <p>Launcher is an awesome Notification Center widget that lets you add actions you frequently perform so you can do them with a swipe and a tap. For instance, if you email a specific person regularly, you can program that action. You can do the same for texting, calling, social media, directions, and tons more. If you can think of doing it, Launcher can most likely handle it.</p> <p>If you want contacts and common tasks right at your fingertips, you want Launcher in your Notification Center.</p> <ul><li>Free with IAP - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/launcher-favorites-at-your/id905099592?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>PCalc</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/pcalc_widget_iphone_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=7O96zOwM' />[/url]</p> <p>PCalc is one of the most advanced calculators available on the App Store and you can now access it easier than ever by adding it to Notification Center. All of us have had times where we spend a few seconds digging for the calculator app or searching for it. The PCalc widget eliminates all of that by putting a full calculator at your fingertips in just a swipe downwards.</p> <p>If you're tired of fumbling around your Home screen to perform quick calculations on the go, PCalc in Notification Center is a dream come true.</p> <ul><li>$9.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pcalc-the-best-calculator/id284666222?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Evernote</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/evernote_widget_iphone_screens.jpeg?itok=U11JG93W' />[/url]</p> <p>If you use Evernote, you'll be happy to know that the latest update supports Notification Center widgets by letting you create new notes, reminders, and lists in a single tap. Once you've added the Evernote widget to Notification Center, you'll instantly have access to creating new content in just seconds.</p> <p>For those that live and breathe by Evernote, you'll definitely want to add the Evernote widget to your Notification Center Today View.</p> <ul><li>Free with optional subscriptions - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/evernote/id281796108?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>TeeVee 3</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/teevee_3_iphone_widget_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=qTPTpcKR' />[/url]</p> <p>TeeVee 3 keeps track of all your tv shows in a beautifully designed interface that's easy to use and fun to look at.

It's unique and it's a joy to use. Writing Aid now comes complete with Notification Center widget support that lets you view the word of the day at a glance, and let's face it, all of us can benefit from expanding our vocabulary on a regular basis.</p> <p>If you want a great dictionary and meanings app along with a way to learn new words each and every day right in Notification Center, look no further than Writing Aid.</p> <ul><li>$0.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/writing-aid-dictionary-synonyms/id820896929?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>ESPN SportsCenter</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/sportscenter_widget_iphone_screens.jpeg?itok=TMpPU4v0' />[/url]</p> <p>I like to keep up with my favorite sports teams but sometimes I don't want notifications bombarding my iPhone, or can't have them on for one reason or another. Of course you can always check an app but why when ESPN SportsCenter can keep you up to date on scores and even stream live radio right from the Lock screen of your iPhone, thanks to widget support. Once you've configured your teams and a few other settings, you're good to go!</p> <p>If you're a sports fanatic, ESPN SportsCenter can provide info on your favorite teams and live radio in widget form now.</p> <ul><li>Free - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/espn-sportscenter/id317469184?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>Yahoo Weather</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-apps-notification-center-widgets-ios-8-all-things-glance' title="Best apps with Notification Center widgets for iOS 8: All the things at a glance!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/09/yahoo_weather_widget_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=5tqE798M' />[/url]</p> <p>Even though the Today View of Notification Center gives you a little bit of weather information, it's really only useful right at that moment. If you want a better handle on what the day is going to bring your way, the Yahoo Weather widget can do just that by providing highs and lows at a glance throughout both the day and night.</p> <p>For weather beyond what the Today View offers, check out Yahoo Weather's widget offering.</p> <h2>Your favorite iPhone and iPad apps with widget support?</h2> <p>If you've found some particularly awesome apps that support widgets in iOS 8, be sure to let me know in the comments what they are and what makes them so great!</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27297"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3ed4ebe2/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
