How do I add a Howbout widget?

Our widget is only available for our iPhone users right now. We have a dedicated Howbout widget on iOS, and a partial workaround for our Android users.

🍎 iOS: How to add the Howbout Widget to your home screen

  1. On your iPhone home screen, touch and hold an empty space until apps start jiggling
  2. Tap the ‘+’ icon in the top left corner
  3. Scroll or search for Howbout, then tap it
  4. Tap 'Add Widget' to place it on your home screen
  5. While apps are still jiggling, drag the widget to your preferred location
  6. Tap 'Done' to save your layout

The widget shows your upcoming plans and makes it easier to stay on top of your updates at a glance.

🤖 Android: How to get a partial widget experience
Although Howbout doesn’t have a native Android widget yet, you can still display your plans via your phone's native calendar widget.

  1. First, export your Howbout calendar to your phone’s native calendar app (learn how here)
  2. Set up your phone’s default calendar widget (e.g. Google Calendar)
  3. Your synced Howbout events will now appear in that widget
